There Are Now 100 Scientific Studies on How Cannabis Affects Cancer

Despite the fact that countless individuals have used cannabis oil to heal their afflictions, the U.S. Cancer Institute lists cannabis as a ‘cure’ for cancer on its website, and a multitude of veterans credit the herb with helping them ditch opioids and alleviate symptoms of PTSD, the marijuana plant remains classified as a Schedule I drug in the United States.

In fact, in most countries around the world, use of the herb and its components for medicinal and recreational purposes remains to be illegal. This continues, regardless of the fact that 0 people die from using the herb each year. In contrast, 30,722 die from alcohol poisoning and 38,329 from abusing pharmaceuticals annually (according to 2014 data).

Some activists, such as Rick Simpson, have suggested that the plant is still illegal in the U.S. on a Federal level because of its multitude of uses. A part of the plant known as hemp can be used for clothing, food, and industrial purposes, and components of the ‘flower’ known as marijuana can inspire creativity, free-thinking and, of course, contribute to healing.

It is an injustice that individuals are refused access to the herb considering it is 100% natural and has been cultivated for thousands of years. Additionally, at least 100 studies prove that the plant can combat one of the most frightening modern afflictions: cancer. As 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men are predicted to develop cancer in their lifetimes, it is past time the herb lose its stigma and Schedule I status so that citizens worldwide might benefit from its many properties.

FOLLOWING ARE 100 STUDIES PROVING CANNABIS TO BE AN ALL-NATURAL CANCER KILLER:

Terrific find. Suggest considering adding this list of links to a sticky "resource" post so we don't lose it.
 
Not sure if you are suggesting making a resource out of it or adding a sticky. I've added a sticky. :wink:

hehehe...I'm not sure either!! LOL Thanks for the sticky!!
 
I think the author here, Froelich, has those numers and respective genders backasswards!

Perhaps that might be edited, for credibility sake if nothing else?

Ex. Source: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/551998

That link just leads to a sign in page.....

The link in the quoted part of the article, however, goes to this article in Medicinal News Today, and is from 2015. Perhaps the numbers have changed since then..:idon'tknow:

Ahhhh...I suppose because I'm a member of medscape it goes dirctly to the intended article.

Numbers haven't changed.

This one is a tough one to cut and paste so I'm going to have to just give you the link....

Clinical Studies and Case Reports
On this site you will find clinical studies with cannabis or single cannabinoids in different diseases and case reports on the use of cannabis by patients.
You may search for diseases (indications), authors, medication, study design (controlled study, open trial, case report etc.) and other criteria.

PINK is my FAVORITE COLOR!!
I saw the most well known DOCTORS for what I have?
No one mentioned the benefit of CANNABIS?
 
No one mentioned the benefit of CANNABIS?
It's interesting; isn't it? Not one of my doctors has either. In fact, the only time I've known of a doctor prescribing (other than certification doctors) was when my mom was dying of cancer and they gave her Marinol to help her eat. Now... she could have easily obtained real cannabis... but chose to use the Marinol instead. And hated it. :idon'tknow:

My MMJ certification doctor told me that no doctor will recommend cannabis until the Feds are on board. They are afraid of losing their Medicare billings.

I have one of the best NERO's in the USA and said no cure or comfort?

I have no MEDICAL background and dumb me found CANNABIS the best way to cope?
 
I have often thought; 1) that we too often exaggerate the benefits of MMJ to the detriment of our credibility and; 2) we are too quick to embrace homeopathic type treatments while being far to quick to dismiss standard medical treatments.

I guess I have a third common thought....few of us are medical professionals but it seems that we sometimes allow ourselves to offer advise that exceeds our qualifications.

Any how, below is different POV than most commonly seen in MMJ forums.


An Open Letter to Rick Simpson by Dr. Franjo Grotenhermen

Dear Rick Simpson,

You are probably the most well-known personality when it comes to the medical use of cannabis by cancer patients. Many desperate individuals, suffering from cancer and other serious maladies, put their trust in you and place great hope in your advice.

You are aware of this responsibility when you write in your book, Rick Simpson Oil – Nature’s Answer for Cancer, “I think anyone including myself, if put in a position of public trust, should expect to have their activities while working for the public watched very closely,” (Pos. 2528, Kindle). It is my conclusion, however, that you have not taken the proper measures commensurate with such great responsibility. I hope that in the future, you can do better.

I share your view when you write, “As I have stated many times, it is our watch and is our sacred responsibility to see that mankind will survive and prosper. Doctors will begin to follow the Hippocratic Oath and governments will begin to work for the greater good of the people. This is the only path we can follow which makes any sense and, if ignored, the destruction of the human race can be the only result,” (Pos. 2517, Kindle). And you continue, “My mission is simply to provide the truth to everyone possible, so together we can effect change,” (Pos. 3460, Kindle).

But I have to state that you are not taking many important facts into consideration – much to the detriment of people. You admit that you are “not a doctor” and do not “have the qualifications necessary to become one,” (pos. 1485, Kindle), but you take the liberty of exaggerating promises of healing that do not stand up to factual examination.

I want to clarify what one might interpret as overly harsh criticism, however, is inevitable, by six examples:

Lack of Knowledge
You write, “Decarboxylation occurs when the molecules within the oil have been rotated to the delta 9 position with the use of heat so they become more and medicinally active,” (Pos. 717, Kindle).

It is a fact, however, prior to decarboxylation, the substance is already delta-9-THC. With regard to the corresponding double bond in the THC molecule, nothing changes through the process. Decarboxylation means removal of carbon dioxide. This reaction converts the naturally present THC acid (THCA) in the plant into phenolic THC that is responsible for most of the therapeutic effects of delta-9-THC. I read on your website that you encourage to include plant-based foods in the diet, claiming that the proteins contained in plants possess cancer-fighting properties, as well. However, it is not proteins, but the phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, which may possess such properties.

Mistaken Beliefs
You write, “I think it’s of benefit to the patient for the oil to be administered as close as possible to a tumor or whatever is being treated. Therefore, if you have bowel problems, suppositories would likely work best, but if you have something like throat or stomach cancer, etc. I would ingest the oil by mouth,” (Pos. 1012, Kindle).

The truth is, that also in cases of abdominal carcinomas, cannabinoids reach the cancer through the body’s circulatory system. One should know some basic medicine, so as to not rely on beliefs, because they may turn out to be mistaken ones.

Confusing Amount and Concentration
You write, “By volume, it would be impossible for a hemp tincture to be as potent as pure oil. A patient could ingest their doses mixed with alcohol, but what good would taking this medication with alcohol do the patient?” (Pos. 1043, Kindle).

The truth is, that a diluted cannabis oil with a 5 percent THC content, ingested orally, has the identical pharmaceutical effect as a cannabis extract or cannabis oil with a THC content of 50 percent. This is because the effect is not based on concentration; it is based on the absolute amount. One milliliter of 50 percent cannabis extract contains the same amount of THCmillilitersilitres of a 5 percent extract, which is exactly 500 milligrams of THC. Only when applied externally does concentration play a role.

Missing Data
You write that, “On average, there is about one person in ten who will freely tell the world what had healed them but the majority of patients tend to remain more or less quiet … Since most people will not come forward, it makes my tasks that much harder and many will continue to die because those who have used these extracts refuse to discuss what they have witnessed,” (Pos. 1192, Kindle). And further, “Since 2003, I have provided these extracts to roughly 5000 people who were suffering with all types of medical problems. Many of these patients had several medical issues which needed attention but most were brought under control or cured with the use of this oil,” (Pos. 1377, Kindle).

You write yourself that only about one in ten patients treated by you offers feedback on the success of the treatment, and you complain that you do not hear back from most of them. Despite this, you undauntedly claim that all cancer patients, even those you never heard back from, were healed by the use of cannabis oil. Claims based on such limited data become completely absurd when contrasted with the fact that, depending on classification, there are between 100 and 1,000 types of cancer.

THC Fixation
You write that, “I always recommend high-grade oils for internal use in the treatment of serious conditions. A high-grade extract should contain THC levels in the range of 80-90% and produce an extremely sedative, yet euphoric effect when ingested. The higher the quality of the oil, the more pronounced will be its healing effects,” (Pos. 368, Kindle).

The truth is that besides THC, other cannabinoids possess cancer-inhibiting properties – in particular, CBD (cannabidiol). There are indications that in some types of tumors, CBD may play a more important role than THC. Moreover, there are strong indications that a combination of THC and CBD is more effective than THC alone, with regard to at least certain types of cancer. Among other factors, this can be of great importance when THC is insufficiently tolerated, and higher dosages are out of the question. In such cases, a treatment with high dosages of CBD can be attempted. You developed your theory 15 years ago when CBD was not yet in focus. However, our knowledge of the effectiveness of whole cannabis and cannabinoids in the treatment of cancer are of preliminary nature. And we must always take new data into consideration, offering our patients the most up to date advice and treatments possible.

Warning Against Effective Therapies
You write, “Unfortunately, many people who come to me have been badly damaged by the medical system with their chemo and radiation, etc. The damage such treatments cause have a lasting effect in people who have suffered these so-called treatments are the hardest to cure. But don’t despair, for even if you have been badly damaged, this oil still has a 70 to 80% success rate,” (Pos. 970, Kindle).

Now I arrive at a very serious issue. You recommend that all cancer patients avoid standard treatments because radiation therapy and chemotherapy both cause damage. Instead, all patients could be healed with your cannabis oil. We don’t know the actual success rate of your cannabis oil, and you can’t possibly know it either because you’ve had too little feedback from your clients. But we do know the success rates of standard therapies. In Germany, of the 500,000 individuals diagnosed with cancer each year, 280,000 are healed. This comes out to around 55%. As recently as 1980, two-thirds of all cancer patients succumbed to their ailment.

If the recovery rate from standard treatments continues to rise, and the rate of recovery for those treated with cannabis remains unknown, how many patients have died needlessly, following your advice?

And how many patients, who could have been healed, if they had received a combination of cannabinoids and conventional therapies, could have survived had they not solely relied on cannabis?

That you present things wrongly by not understanding chemistry, physiology, and medicine is not what I hold against you. One doesn’t necessarily need to understand all the details. However, this is a question of life and death, and such a serious issue, that you have to be accused of not living up to your responsibility and therefore your own aspirations.

This is about the wellbeing of individuals who turn to us. They have a right to the best possible and most recent information, as well the best possible advice. When it comes to medical treatment, especially when confronted with serious illness, it is not enough to treat patients by relying on good intentions and vehemently presenting a conviction.

I am convinced that your reputation among supporters would improve if you were able to revise and update your advice. I am convinced that cannabis and cannabinoid therapies are of value in the treatment of cancer. Let us address their potential with great care and consciousness!

Yours truly,

Franjo Grotenhermen

I wanted to post this article here as it really opened my eyes to the problems with many of the cannabis studies showing cannabinoids "healing" cancer (the studies dont exactly say that but thats the take home message many conclude). A conclusion that people take from the studies but if I had to bet $, I would say even the researchers of the studies would be very reluctant to say it cues cancer. In my opinion the likely hood of something curing "cancer" is very low as many cancers have very little to do with one another, see cancer is a diverse set of diseases (but I would be very happy to be wrong).

Cannabis Derivative Provides Anti-Cancer Activity in Preclinical Model of Pancreatic Cancer
Thursday, 12 September 2019
Boston, MA: The administration of a cannabis-derived flavonoid enhances radiotherapy treatment in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer, according to findings published in the journal Frontiers in Oncology.
A team of researchers affiliated with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard University and the University of Massachusetts assessed the anti-cancer activity of a non-psychoactive cannabis derivative, FBL-03G, in preclinical models of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Researchers reported that the inclusion of FBL-03G during radiotherapy "induce[d] apoptosis and inhibit[ed] cancer cell concentration" in culture. In animal models, the compound "slowed tumor growth" and was associated with a "significant increase in mice survival."
They concluded, "[T]he FBL-03G results reveal a new potential non-cannabinoid cannabis derivative with major potential for consideration in further investigations in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, where new therapy options are urgently needed." Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest-to-treat forms of the disease, killing over 90 percent of sufferers within five years.
Preclinical studies identifying anti-cancer activity of cannabinoids date back to the mid-1970s. Far fewer studies exist assessing the therapeutic efficacy of cannabis-specific flavonoids, but recently some scientists have expressed interest in their anti-inflammatory potential.

Yeah, saw this in a number of on-line pubs the other day.

Makes you just want to carpet bomb the DEA (and Congress for that matter) for holding up any real MJ research. Just think, if they do find a magic bullet for some terrible disease (yes, and they really have already with child seizure disorders and CBD) that people have suffered with or died from and the only thing that stopped it from eing available was the DEA and the idiot drug warriors....well, this might be the scene outside of DEA HQ:

I alway’s bitch about DC?
2-day my wife bought me the USA Constitution 2-read!

I don’t want 2-sound like a sitcom?
Your photo is just like 2-day?

Hi my friend - actually reading the Constitution is an eye opener. Rather than listen to a bunch of paid political hack pundits telling you what it says, you can read the plain English of it.

For example, many, many people feel that they have the right to say anything at any time and anywhere and defend this as their "First Amendment" rights.

Well, the First Amendment says not such thing and conveys no such rights.

What it does say is "Congress shall make no law.......abridging the freedom of speech" Key word underlined by me.

This means that if your boss tells you to shut the fuck up and get back to work, they have NOT violated your rights under the First Amendment.

See what I'm saying?

And further, while I enjoy many priveldges and freedoms conveyed to me by the Supreme Court when they found a right to privacy in the Constitution....I have yet to find that in there at all.
