Pot 'cured' brain cancer: Toddler Cash Hyde's father gave

[daemon]

A desperate US father gave his son cannabis oil to ease the pain of a life-threatening tumour, and now credits the drug with helping save his son's life, reports the Daily Mail.

 

Shortly before his second birthday, Cash Hyde was diagnosed with a serious brain tumour.

 

For six weeks Cash was regularly misdiagnosed with glandular fever, but looking at his ill son, his father Mike Hyde knew it was worse.

 

"It feels like he's dying in my arms," said Mr Hyde. "We need to take him somewhere else."

 

Doctors did a CAT scan and found a 4.5cm tumour wrapped around Cash's optic nerve.

 

They were able to remove just ten per cent of the growth in surgery and the toddler had to undergo severe chemotherapy to reduce the rest of it.

Funny how people listen to government officials "claiming" it's harmful. But discredit people who's lives have actually been saved by it. These stories need to be more common. Good read.
