Ok, so i need to get good info on who to contact at a compassionate group that supplies meds free to those in need.

 

My grandfather has just been diagnosed with bone cancer, he has a lump on his rib.

 

I want to talk to him about canna which i have in the past but this time its a tad more urgent, i dont know much about bone cancer but my partner says it gets everyone.

 

Can i get details please on how to go about contacting such a group and how to go about asking them for assistance. I usually would have the oil but as of late have handed off a bit here and there helping others and im short on oil and supplies to make him the required amount, and since reading about things like Paclo i dont want to source weed i have no idea about so my only option is to turn to one of these compassionate groups.

 

Please if u know the drill on how to contact these groups please let me know either in this thread or PM.

 

Thankyou

Go to seedsman.Com one of our sponsors they are good and got nice seeds I used them no worries

 

You can't catch me I'm the ginger bread man

 

how many seeds will i need for oil?

 

Is there a lot of scholarly articles on the web on how Cannabis helps or may even cure some forms of cancer? Or is it, as some medical professionals have stated, mostly anecdotal evidence with limited to moderate outcomes in a small number of areas such as pain from cancer and drug resistant pediatric epilepsy?

ANECDOTAL - Meaning (an account) not necessarily true or reliable, based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.


This is because big pharma will not back any facts or research..  The facts and research are showing us the potential cannabis has but it would wipe out huge amounts of revenue from big pharmacy if it were to become a better alternative to their toxic pills.  Also they don't want cannabis as a medicine because anyone can grow it.


I think there is ample evidence that it is at least as valid other treatments and since it can not harm you it should be at least an option.


People with terminal illnesses also have shown a much better quality of life on THC.. WTF cant it do?  Make pharma rich


Brain Cancer:


1. A study published in the British Journal of Cancer, conducted by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Complutense University in Madrid, this study determined that Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids inhibit tumour growth. They were responsible for the first clinical study aimed at assessing cannabinoid antitumoral action. Cannabinoid delivery was safe and was achieved with zero psychoactive effects. THC was found to decrease tumour cells in two out of the nine patients.


2. A study published in The Journal of Neuroscience examined the biochemical events in both acute neuronal damage and in slowly progressive, neurodegenerative diseases. They conducted a magnetic resonance imaging study that looked at THC (the main active compound in marijuana) and found that it reduced neuronal injury in rats. The results of this study provide evidence that the cannabinoid system can serve to protect the brain against neurodegeneration.


3. A study published in The Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics already acknowledged the fact that cannabinoids have been shown to possess antitumor properties. This study examined the effect of cannabidiol (CBD, non psychoactive cannabinoid compound) on human glioma cell lines. The addition of cannabidiol led to a dramatic drop in the viability of glioma cells. Glioma is the word used to describe brain tumour.  The study concluded that cannabidiol was able to produce a significant antitumor activity.


4. A study published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics outlines how brain tumours are highly resistant to current anticancer treatments, which makes it crucial to find new therapeutic strategies aimed at improving the poor prognosis of patients suffering from this disease. This study also demonstrated the reversal of tumour activity in Glioblastoma multiforme.


Pancreatic Cancer:


5. A study published in The American Journal of Cancer determined that cannabinoid receptors are expressed in human pancreatic tumor cell lines and tumour biopsies at much higher levels than in normal pancreatic tissue. Results showed that cannabinoid administration induced apoptosis. They also reduced the growth of tumour cells, and inhibited the spreading of pancreatic tumour cells.


Liver Cancer:


6. A study published by the US National Library of Medicine determined that that THC reduces the viability of human HCC cell lines (Human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line) and reduced the growth.


Blood Cancer:


7. A study published in the journal Molecular Pharmacology recently showed that cannabinoids induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in matle cell lymphoma. The study was supported by grants from the Swedish Cancer Society, The Swedish Research Council and the Cancer Society in Stockholm.


8. A study published in the International Journal of Cancer also determined and illustrated that cannabinoids exert antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in various types of cancer and in mantle cell lymphoma.


9. A study published in the US National Library of Medicine conducted by the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology by Virginia Commonwealth University determined that cannabinoids induce apoptosis in leukemia cells.


Prostate Cancer: 


10. A study published in the US National Library of Medicine illustrates a decrease in prostatic cancer cells by acting through cannabinoid receptors.


11. A study published in the US National Library of Medicine outlined multiple studies proving the effectiveness of cannabis on prostate cancer.


12. Another study published by the US National Library of Medicine determined that clinical testing of CBD against prostate carcinoma is a must. That cannabinoid receptor activation induces prostate carcinoma cell apoptosis. They determined that cannabidiol significantly inhibited cell viability.


Lung Cancer:


13. A study published in the journal Oncogene, by Harvard Medical Schools Experimental Medicine Department determined that THC inhibits epithelial growth factor induced lung cancer cell migration and more. They go on to state that THC should be explored as novel therapeutic molecules in controlling the growth and metastasis of certain lung cancers.


14. A study published by the US National Library of Medicine by the Institute of Toxicology and Pharmacology, from the Department of General Surgery in Germany determined that cannabinoids inhibit cancer cell invasion. Effects were confirmed in primary tumour cells from a lung cancer patient.  Overall, data indicated that cannabinoids decrease cancer cell invasiveness.


15. A study published by the US National Library of Medicine, conducted by Harvard Medical School investigated the role of cannabinoid receptors in lung cancer cells. They determined its effectiveness and suggested that it should be used for treatment against lung cancer cells.


Breast Cancer:


16. A study published in the US National Library of Medicine, conducted by the California Pacific Medical Centre determined that cannabidiol (CBD) inhibits human breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion. They also demonstrated that CBD significantly reduces tumour mass.


17. A study published in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics determined that THC as well as cannabidiol dramatically reduced breast cancer cell growth. They confirmed the potency and effectiveness of these compounds.


18. A study published in the Journal Molecular Cancer showed that THC reduced tumour growth and tumour numbers. They determined that cannabinoids inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce cancer cell apoptosis and impair tumour angiogenesis (all good things). This study provides strong evidence for the use of cannabinoid based therapies for the management of breast cancer.


19. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) determined that cannabinoids inhibit human breast cancer cell proliferation.


Oral Cancer:


20. A study published by the US National Library of Medicine results show cannabinoids are potent inhibitors of cellular respiration and are toxic to highly malignant oral Tumours.

It's a catch-22 situation, unfortunately. There are few clinical tests because governments won't fund trials of substances they have declared illegal to possess, use, grow, sell or import.

 

On youtube you will find testimonies of cancer patients who as a result of self-medicating went into remission or better. Youtube videos won't carry sway with medical authorities, but will give you some insight into the form of medication used, and its preparation, and the dose taken, and you'll find web sites mentioned that you can follow up for more information.

 

Mostly it's THC that is thought of the cancer-killing component, and it's for the THC content that you undoubtedly are seeking medicinal cannabis. However, there is evidence that for some cancers CBD also attacks the cancerous cells, so I suggest that while waiting for a source of medicinal cannabis you consider immediately starting the patient on Hemp Oil for its potential beneficial CBD activity, and to give hope to the patient that something is at least being done.

 

You can legally buy Hemp Oil, it's advertised online. DO NOT confuse it with Hemp Seed Oil from health food stores.

 

I wish you luck in finding a supply of medical cannabis. If only we could freeze-frame cancer suffering for 5 or 6 years—by which time compassionate medical marijuana legislation may see us putting some of these cancers in their place.
