Found this at the huff:


Marijuana And Cancer:



Of course this nothing new. It REALLY pisses me off that my Mom could have benefited from this knowledge before her passing from lung cancer 2007,and in fact I do recall telling her doctors about such research.


Another great resource:


Phoenix Tears

    After the headline in the actual body text is the word could. ie not tested and proven in humans yet.

    But their 20 year research - and no one but them has proven it, only finished in 2007 and that was based on cells in a petri dish. Since then they have only done it on lab animals.

    So they await licence for human clinical trials now. I know that doesn't help you or your late mother.

    Also this:

    Medical Marijuana Use Sprouting In Israel : NPR

    Call it a massive clinical trial growing exponentially. Other countries are looking at this one. I know the UK are.

      Dan if you read up on Rick Simpson from Phoenix Tears, he did cure his own cancer and was freely giving away his oil which was helping others cure their cancers. Instead of this bringing about real clinical trials it brought about a raid on his house by the Canadian govt., under pressure from our DEA while he was in Amsterdam excepting an award for his work. Everything he owned was seized and as far as I know he is still somewhere in Europe hiding out because of warrants he has in Canada and here in the States.
      That's what happens when you find a cure.

      Rob I'm with you. I lost my wife to cancer in 2002. It was shortly after I found out she could of had other options. Would they have worked? I don't know, but I do know the options they gave her didn't.
      Next to gmo's the suppression of cannabis research and not allowing farmers to grow industrial hemp cover the only three things that will actually raise my blood pressure and put me into a rage just thinking about them.

    Pot was a part of Ricky's cancer treatment. I never trust "this" or "that" -- I throw everything known to science to have a negative reaction to cancer at it. Why miss something that could have been just the right thing? There are a LOT of things out there that can cause apoptosis when used in enough quantity and duration. To treat Ricky - I just had to look everything up to see if a dog could eat it or not. My sister had a lump just taken out - - but with the other elements she's eating now, the doctors are amazed at her progress. Pot is part of that treatment - but who wants to stop the other stuff to find out if one thing is better than the other? It cost me about $75 a month to treat Ricky - that was with the gas to get the black raspberry which would have been an extra 30 - 60 $ a month if I'd had to buy the flour as opposed to around $12 for gas.

    Compare that to the $10s of thousands for medical - and once you let them give you chemo or radiation you've got a lot harder road to get health back, if you can at all. It's almost impossible to fix radiation damage.

          Sorry for your loss, Thom.

          Congrats, Sal. Godspeed to your Sister.

          Thanks Dan, Dave and T-bird.

          F-off Fin. Saw your comments in Pauls thread.

          With Cancer running rampant in both sides of my family tree, and 30+ years of cigs, and all the industrial chemicals I was(and still am) exposed to, I am worried.

          Edging closer to 50 and massive stress doesn't help either. Lucky for me, My wife and daughter are heavy into the natural foods and personal care products.
          Otherwise, I prolly would still be clueless and poisoning myself.(with the exception of F-ing CIGS!). Not saying I am perfect now, just better educated.

          Of course, I wouldn't mind if cannabis was legal for recreational use.
          Still, Imo that is medical use also to keep depression and anxiety at bay.

            .
            That wasn't meant to offend anyone's family. And the comment in Paul's thread wasn't specifically about this thread. There was another one we had a much better discussion on last week.

            I personally thing that positive beliefs and meditation can go a long way towards helping. I've heard about people surviving because they were positive they would make it. The cancer disappeared, but then they were told the drug they were given wasn't what it was meant to be, so they got upset, the cancer came back and they died.

            I've lost family through smoking and cancer as well. I know it's not nice. I did actually think you meant smoking it, hence my comment.

                So he is saying that prostate cancer magically happened in 1 year!?!?!?

                And GOUT?

                Gout Causes - Diseases and Conditions - Mayo Clinic

                So basically he had kidney problems and/or had a diet that exasperated the problem. A diet change and/or kidney support, would get rid of the problem. I suppose that he will give marijuana the credit for getting rid of gout though it is likely only that he stopped taking the prison food that caused it. In the 18th century, gout was considered a RICH PERSONS disease! WHY? Because a lot of things, like "pate de foie gras"(fattened duck liver) were considered expensive luxuries! Pate de Foie Gras History and French Law

                TODAY, in the US, this is more often to be considered a processing by product, and included with some meats to LOWER the cost.

            I smoke, but have done the deep research - and am not scared of lung cancer any more than any other cancer.

            60% of Japanese men smoke but there is no incidence of correlation between cigs and cancer over there - so is it really the cigarettes?
            Likewise only 40% of lung cancer victims in the US are, or ever were, smokers - so is it really the cigarettes?

            Get familiar with cancer inhibitors and killers, exercise and get your sunshine (Vit D3 deficiency causes a LOT of types of cancer) -- and stay away from chemicals as much as possible. You won't have to worry so much about your smoking - especially if you smoke natural tobacco cigarettes instead of the crappy ones with 33% additives.

              Sadly, if a cannabis compound does turn out to be effective against cancer, that will only create more pressure to suppress everything related to cannabis.

              Juicing cannabis isn't any different from juicing any other greens, except for the added health benefits, nothing there gets you high.
              Hemp simply cannot get you high, period. It looks nothing like "marijuana" and in fact it will seriously lower the quantity and quality of and "marijuana" growing in the same area.
              It's seeds are considered a super food, and the rest of the plant (and the seeds) have so many uses that books have been written about it. Just the agriculture and environment impact that growing hemp would have are huge.

              Yep, someone at the nearest shopping center, had Cancer on her legs, etc, and decided to stay with a natural remedy Chinese doctor; the cancer completely disappeared!

              No huge bills, no operations, no chemo, and no radio-treatments, (which is a two edged sword).

              Unfortunately my Mother talked to her after she went through the normal treatments!

              Yep, best to Visit Tibett, and send the seeds over to your country, then throw them about in a natural forest, preferably close to where you live!

              Then go back, take off the leaves and go from there, the authorities can't put you in prison, unless they raid your house, or catch you in the forest!

              Probably explains why Doctors say, get a few minutes only and keep out of the sun! They need more money, so give out crap advise, or more likely the Phar, company's tell then that!


              Then they look forward to another 10 or 20 million from their respective governments, to fiddle around with genes, while all quick, easy and CHEAP cures get buried!

              This is a recurring pattern, free energy suppressed, cheap, effective cures, suppressed, artifacts, etc, on other planets, for the most part suppressed, (well the media, having a political choker on their necks, doesn't help).

              And in the meantime, the rich keep their mouths shut as they don't want to get the Julia Estrange, nonsence get dished out to them, eventhough they could throw a spanner in the sociopaths works, but nothing!

    I've heard that one use of marijuana is with CHEMOTHERAPY, for neusea, yet I have NEVER heard of it stopping cancer.

    There have been good things said about refined sugar. And CHOCOLATE is supposed to prevent cavities! There are lots of "studies" that are total BUNK!
