Try Hemp Oil
The hemp oil that I use contains THC. The hemp oil you buy on-line does
not. I live in a state where the can buy the kind with THC with a doctors permission
letter. Don't settle for any other kind. Other types of cannabis are
helpful too. I've been on hemp oil for just a very short period of time
and began with two drops at bedtime because I don't wish to experience the
high. I've increased the dose to four drops and have had significant
benefits with better sleep and more energy.

Spain Study Confirms Hemp Oil Cures Cancer without Side
Effects
Posted in: Altered States, Health & Nutrition
The International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) is putting hemp oil on
its cancer protocol. It is a prioritized protocol list whose top five items are
magnesium chloride, iodine, selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid and sodium bicarbonate.
It makes perfect sense to drop hemp oil right into the middle of this
nutritional crossfire of anti cancer medicines, which are all available without
prescription.
Hemp oil has long been recognised as one of the most versatile and beneficial
substances known to man. Derived from hemp seeds (a member of the achene family
of fruits) it has been regarded as a superfood due to its high essential fatty
acid content and the unique ratio of omega3 to omega6 and gamma linolenic acid (GLA)
– 2:5:1. Hemp oil, is known to contain up to 5% of pure GLA, a much higher
concentration than any other plant, even higher than spirulina. For thousands of
years, the hemp plant has been used in elixirs and medicinal teas because of its
healing properties and now medical science is zeroing in on the properties of
its active substances.
Both the commercial legal type of hemp oil and the illegal THC laden hemp oil
are one of the most power-packed protein sources available in the plant kingdom.
Its oil can be used in many nutritional and transdermal applications. In other
chapters in my Winning the War on Cancer book we will discuss in-depth about GLA
and cancer and also the interesting work of Dr. Johanna Budwig. She uses flax
seed oil instead of hemp oil to cure cancer – through effecting changes in
cell walls – using these omega3 and omega6 laden medicinal oils.
Actually there is another way to use medical marijuana without smoking the
leaf. According to Dr. Tod H. Mikuriya, “The usual irritating and toxic
breakdown products of burning utilized with smoking are totally avoided with
vaporization. Extraction and inhaling cannabinoid essential oils below ignition
temperature of both crude and refined cannabis products affords significant
mitigation of irritation to the oral cavity, and tracheobronchial tree from
pyrollytic breakdown products.[iii]
Rick Simpson, the man in the documentary below, has been making hemp oil and
sharing it with friends and neighbors without charging for it. In small doses,
he says, it makes you well without getting you high. “Well you can’t deny
your own eyes can you?” Simpson asks. “Here’s someone dying of cancer and
they’re not dying anymore. I don’t care if the medicine comes from a tomato
plant, potato plant or a hemp plant, if the medicine is safe and helps and
works, why not use it?” he asks.
When a person has cancer and is dying this question reaches a critical point.
The bravery of Rick Simpson from Canada in showing us how to make hemp oil for
ourselves offers many people a hope that should be increasingly appreciated as
money dries up for expensive cancer treatments. We are going to need inexpensive
medicines in the future and there is nothing better than the ones we can make
reasonably cheaply ourselves.
For most people in the world it is illegal so the choice could come down to
breaking the law or dying. There is no research to indicate what advantages oral
use of hemp oil vs. vaporization but we can assume that advantage would be
nutritional with oral intake. Dr. Budwig Below work would sustain this point of
view especially for cancer patients.
The Science
According to Dr. Robert Ramer and Dr. Burkhard Hinz of the University of
Rostock in Germany medical marijuana can be an effective treatment for cancer.[v]
Their research was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute
Advance Access on December 25th of 2007 in a paper entitled Inhibition of Cancer
Cell Invasion by Cannabinoids via Increased Expression of Tissue Inhibitor of
Matrix Metalloproteinases-1.
The biggest contribution of this breakthrough discovery, is that the
expression of TIMP-1 was shown to be stimulated by cannabinoid receptor
activation and to mediate the anti-invasive effect of cannabinoids. Prior to now
the cellular mechanisms underlying this effect were unclear and the relevance of
the findings to the behavior of tumor cells in vivo remains to be determined.
Marijuana cuts lung cancer tumor growth in half, a 2007 Harvard Medical
School study shows.[vi] The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in
lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to
spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both
lab and mouse studies.
This is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, Delta-tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC), inhibits EGF-induced growth and migration in epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) expressing non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancers
that over-express EGFR are usually highly aggressive and resistant to
chemotherapy. THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in
function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced
in the body and activate these receptors.
“The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse,
if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer,” said
Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine. Acting
through cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, endocannabinoids (as well as THC) are
thought to play a role in variety of biological functions, including pain and
anxiety control, and inflammation.
Researchers reported in the August 15, 2004 issue of Cancer Research, the
journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, that marijuana’s
constituents inhibited the spread of brain cancer in human tumor biopsies.[vii]
In a related development, a research team from the University of South Florida
further noted that THC can also selectively inhibit the activation and
replication of gamma herpes viruses. The viruses, which can lie dormant for
years within white blood cells before becoming active and spreading to other
cells, are thought to increase one’s chances of developing cancers such as
Kaposi’s Sarcoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’s disease.[viii]
In 1998, a research team at Madrid’s Complutense University discovered that
THC can selectively induce programmed cell death in brain tumor cells without
negatively impacting surrounding healthy cells. Then in 2000, they reported in
the journal Nature Medicine that injections of synthetic THC eradicated
malignant gliomas (brain tumors) in one-third of treated rats, and prolonged
life in another third by six weeks.[ix]
Led by Dr. Manuel Guzman the Spanish team announced they had destroyed
incurable brain cancer tumors in rats by injecting them with THC. They reported
in the March 2002 issue of “Nature Medicine” that they injected the brains
of 45 rats with cancer cells, producing tumors whose presence they confirmed
through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the 12th day they injected 15 of
the rats with THC and 15 with Win-55,212-2 a synthetic compound similar to
THC.[x]
Researchers at the University of Milan in Naples, Italy, reported in the
Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics that non-psychoactive
compounds in marijuana inhibited the growth of glioma cells in a dose-dependent
manner, and selectively targeted and killed malignant cells through apoptosis.
“Non-psychoactive CBD produce[s] a significant anti-tumor activity both in
vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an
antineoplastic agent.”[xi]
The first experiment documenting pot’s anti-tumor effects took place in
1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest of the U.S. government.
The results of that study, reported in an Aug. 18, 1974, Washington Post
newspaper feature, were that marijuana’s psychoactive component, THC,
“slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced
leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36
percent.”[xii]
Funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that marijuana
damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three
kinds of cancer in mice — lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced
leukemia. The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further
cannabis/tumor research even though the researchers “found that THC slowed the
growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in
laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”
“Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids,” an article in a 1975 Journal
of the National Cancer Institute reports, “Lewis lung adenocarcinoma growth
was retarded by the oral administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and
cannabinol (CBN)” — two types of cannabinoids, a family of active components
in marijuana. “Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with THC and CBN had
reduced primary tumor size.”
Marijuana relieves pain that narcotics like morphine and OxyContin
have hardly any effect on, and could help ease suffering from
illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and cancer.[xiii]
According to Devra Davis in her book Secret History of the War on Cancer, 1.5
million lives have been lost because Americans failed to act on existing
knowledge about the environmental causes of cancer. It is impossible to
calculate the added deaths from suppressed ‘cancer cures’ but we do know of
the terrible suffering of hundreds of thousands of people who have been jailed
for marijuana use.
Hemp oil with THC included has the making of a primary cancer treatment,
which even alone seems to have a great chance of turning the tide against cancer
tumors. It has the added advantage of safety, ease of use, lack of side effects
and low cost if one makes it oneself. Surrounded by other medicinal anti-cancer
substances in a full protocol it’s hard to imagine anyone failing and falling
in their war on cancer.
THC should be included in every cancer protocol.
Sodium bicarbonate is another excellent anti tumor substance that reduces
tumors but is much more difficult to administer than THC hemp oil. Cannabinoids
are able to pass through all barriers in the body like Alpha Lipoic Acid so
simple oral intake is sufficient. With bicarbonate we need intravenous
applications and often even this is not sufficient, often we have to use
catheters and few doctors in the world are willing to administer this way.
In the end all cancer treatments that are not promoted by mainstream oncology
are illegal. No licensed doctor is going to claim that are curing cancer with
sodium bicarbonate though they will treat people with cancer explaining they are
balancing pH or some other metabolic profile with this common emergency room
medicine found also most kitchens of the world. More than several states have
passed laws making medical marijuana legal but the federal government will not
relax and let people be free to choose their treatments even if their lives
depend on it.
Davis notes that the cowardice of research scientists, who publish thoroughly
referenced reports but pull their punches at the end, by claiming that more
research needs to be done before action can be taken. Statements like these are
exploited by industry that buys time to make much more money. It is a deliberate
attempt that creates wholesale public doubt from small data gaps and remaining
scientific uncertainties.
They have done that with everything right up to and including sunlight.
Everything is thought to be dangerous except the pharmaceutical drugs which are
the most dangerous substances of all. Stomach wrenching chemotherapy and the
death principle of radiation are legal yet safe THC laden hemp oil is not.
It is legal for doctors to attack people with their poisons but you can go to
jail for trying to save yourself or a loved one from cancer with the oil of a
simple garden weed. Our civilization has put up with this insanity but there is
a great price being paid. In a mad medical world people die that need not and
this is a terrible sadness that has destroyed the integrity and ethics of modern
medicine.
The science for the use of hemp oil is credible, specific fact-based, and is
documented in detail.[xiv] There is absolutely no reason to not legalize medical
marijuana and create an immediate production and distribution of THC hemp oil to
cancer patients. Unfortunately we live in a world populated with governments and
medical henchmen who would rather see people die cruel deaths then have access
to a safe and effect cancer drug.
Meanwhile the Food and Drug Administration approved Genentech’s
best-selling drug, Avastin, as a treatment for breast cancer, in a decision,
according to the New York Times, “that appeared to lower the threshold
somewhat for approval of certain cancer drugs. The big question was whether it
was enough for a drug temporarily to stop cancer from worsening — as Avastin
had done in a clinical trial — or was it necessary for a drug to enable
patients to live longer, which Avastin had failed to do. Oncologists and patient
advocates were divided, in part because of the drug’s sometimes severe side
effects.”[xv]
The differences between Avastin and hemp oil are huge. First Avastin will
earn Genentech hundreds of millions where THC hemp oil will earn no one
anything. Second there are no severe or even mild side effects to taking hemp
oil and lastly it is not a temporary answer but a real solution. Certainly hemp
oil will ensure a longer life.
