For some patients this is the last resort, although I, professionally suggest this be the first resort for any cancer patient because of the ratio of harm to benefit is so vastly superior to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. While improvements have been made in the field of chemotherapy and radiation, there are many factors that are not calculated into the equation, so to speak when people ultimately decide to use these means to fight their cancer. The real issue is what the patient is left with in the end- healthwise, financially, emotionally and mentally? These “traditional”, modern treatments for cancer are no longer ethical to me, as a biochemist, to trust with the future of cancer patients. Here are the reasons why:
1. Chemotherapy and radiation work by mutation.
You heard me right, whether by chemical or radiation, the goal of these therapies is to kill cells by genetic mutation. Here is why, cancer cells are ultimately already mutant, “sickly” cells because they are growing spontaneously at an accelerated rate, putting their DNA in jeopardy each time they divide; This makes them susceptible to further mutation and that is where radiation and chemo can attack these cells with some specificity. Well that would be great if we were composed of some weird, static cellular composition. We are not. Our bodies are living, dynamic systems of cells, some dividing more than others, but nevertheless, dividing, traveling and alive. With each round of chemo or radiation we are exposing patients whom already have cancer to the possibility of more mutation and thus more cancer. This never made much sense to me, logically, but on the other hand I see why something is better than nothing. We have now limited, but I believe, enough data to suggest that using Cannabis oil prior to using these treatments would be a much healthier and more realistic approach to cancer. Afterall, there are no conclusive studies concluding that use of Cannabis essential oils can cause any permanent damage to the body, and there are plenty of people alive today to verify this notion.
2. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation make already sick patients, even more ill.
Surgeries are risky already, between being sick and the anesthesia and then the butchering of the body, it can be the worst choice for some. Surgery is not a great choice to me because I have actually “plated”(grown in cell culture) cancer cells and I know a few things about tumor cells. Surgery sends red flags to me because of how easily tumor cells seem to grow, even if infected, lacking nutrients, deprived of media I consistently saw more resilience in tumor cell lines than “normal” cells, likely due to their predisposition- to grow, and grow. I can see why some surgeons do not advise surgery because it is too risky to lose a tiny fragment of tumor or some cells into the blood and then actually spread the cancer all over the body. It all adds up to much more risk than a simple plant oil, which by the way, you would have to ingest an entire kilo of, in less than 15 minutes to actually die. Exposing cancer patients to rays and chemicals in addition to their chronic pain, anxiety and tumor growth is just wrong. I have witnessed the whole scheme of chemotherapy with patients who have chosen to use Cannabis oil simply to mitigate the effects of chemotherapy. I felt horrible for them, I wanted to tell them to stop, already, I have watched people die on these treatments It is not only unfair, but unethical for me to suggest that anyone undergo these therapies without first trying Cannabis oil. Why? Because while it may not work 100% of the time and while you need to change your diet to live a healthier life- the reality is you will be able to do these things. If you go with this, ultimately barbaric treatment of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, you won’t just have the munchies and be sleepy (both of which are essential to maintaining health), but you will be in the worst pain of your life, nauseous, nutrient-deprived and your skin, nails and hair will suffer on top of it all. Save yourself the $5000-$20,000 per month of excess medical expenses and get a great Cannabis oil maker or donate to a good group for some quality Cannabis oil, which should only cost about $1,000-$2,000 per month in a medical Cannabisstate.
3. Cannabis oil is an effective, stand-alone treatment for some cancers without serious side effects.
This statement seems to hold true for Crohn’s/IBS, lupus and other chronically ill people, as well. In our study groups we have seen a mass regression of much disease, simply by introducing as little as a quarter of a gramof our Spun Gold edible Cannabis oil, into the daily regimen with balanced to healthy diets. I was actually a lot more pessimistic about the efficacy of Cannabis oil upon founding The Pot Lab, but I must admit defeat and surrender. As a trained biochemist with both analytical chemistry, medical formulation and molecular biology background I am confounded at the actual clinical evidence that surrounds me, everyday. The ability of the cannabinoid molecules to attenuate such severe and chronic symptoms of systemic proportion is truly humbling to a scientist who, has studied systems approaches to several problems in the past; This mechanism is more profound than any other, as I see Cannabis as a massive, red reset button. There are even several patients I have seen having real bouts of body purging before exponentially increasing their health. Changes included weight normalization, hair regrowth, increased energy, metabolic normalization and many others. The side effects of Cannabis oil are often extreme increases in appetite and sleepiness, both of which are excellent for anyone who is ill.
Since the gain of its popularity, Cannabis oil has mystified even the most knowledgeable oncology professionals with its efficacy for shrinking tumors and setting cancer into remission. Cannabis oil is a natural, non-toxic way to do a thorough reset of the body and should be recommended prior to using treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or targeted gene therapies. There seems to be nothing to lose but only health to gain from using Cannabis oil instead of the more “traditional” approaches. The typical treatment is one gram per day for 2-3 months, costing no more than $3,000-$5,000 total if you are in a medical Cannabis state. I understand if you only have months to live and wouldn’t want to risk it, but most of the time that is not the case, and even in such situations, I have seen life extension beyond estimates. This is just my opinion, as a professional medical Cannabis researcher, but I am someone well studied in the areas of cancer, metabolism and biochemistry so I thought I would share with the public.
Still not convinced? Here is some data from our lab.
