Book excerpt: A practical, easy-to-understand guide how to kill your cancer with cannabis and keep yourself cancer-free Don't expect to hear this from your doctor! In 2012, the author's son Mike was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After three operations, including a colostomy and subsequent chemotherapy, mother and son searched for alternative treatments, but most of what they found was snake oil information--dishonest people trying to sell so-called "miracle cures" to vulnerable patients," often with fancy sales pitches. A German university's research article about cannabis cancer treatment changed Mike's life. After five months of cannabis therapy doctors confirmed that Mike was cancer free. Not being satisfied with dispensary marijuana, Mike developed his own strains, concentrating mostly on high CBD plus THC combinations. He now has generated dozens of amazingly powerful SHAROK cannabis strains for cancer treatment, but also for other diseases like epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, Parkinson's disease, MS, chronic pain management, sleep disorders, chemotherapy side effects, PTSD, etc. For three years now, mother and son have worked in cancer support groups, sharing Mike's cannabis products with fellow patients.

This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four years ago I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer that was spreading rapidly through my body ( metastasizing). I was told unequivocally by my surgeon that I must have an operation to remove part of my colon or I would surely die. Had I agreed to the operation, I would have had to wear a colostomy bag. I refused. A friend told me about the remarkable healing effects of cannabis oil. Cannabis oil was a new thing to me but rather than have the operation I decided to follow up on my friend's advice. My family doctor who was from Iran did not hesitate to issue a medical cannabis oil license to me. he, too, had heard and seen the miraculous results of cannabis oil treating and curing cancer. I did, however, have a short bout of radiation and chemo, both of which made me very sick, The idea was to reduce the tumor so the operation could commence. It was during this period that I had been made aware of the healing powers of medical cannabis oil. My medical team opposed my every thought as to the use of cannabis oil but my inner voice told me not to heed them. In fact, they laid a good amount of pressure on me to adhere to their wishes but I refused to comply. Within two months my cancer had vanished. That was going on four years ago. I live a normal life without having to use a colostomy bag and attend endless check-ups. In fact, I hope never to have to visit a hospital again. It was all very bad and very, very sad. My book, Cannabis Oil Cured My Cancer is my story, a story of helplessness, despondency, grief, sadness, of a life, turned upside down; one that could not escape finality: cemeteries, funeral homes, hospitals--death. it was all very grave, indeed. Eventually, at the hospital, when they told me that my cancer was no more, I walked on cloud seven for weeks. How wonderful it was to be free and healthy once again. In my book, there are links to youtube addresses that will be of great benefit to the sufferer. Also, there is information about a variety of treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. Here is a list of ailments and diseases that cannabis oil treats and cures: Cancer, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Alcohol addiction, Aids, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), Alzheimer's, Anorexia, Antibiotic Resistance, Anxiety, Atherosclerosis, Arthritis, Asthma, Autism, Bipolar, Cancer, Chron's Disease, Digestive Issues, Depression.

Download or read book Marijuana As Medicine written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-12-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
Download or read book The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

I knew the fear, the despondency, the meaning of life's finality. It was all very bad. Please, if you have cancer or know someone, no matter the stage, please look into to the wonders of cannabis oil and essiac tea. They might just do the job for you. They did for me. My book tells my story, my fear, and sadness. It also gives many links to video programs about "Big Pharma" and the billions they make each year on selling cancer-causing treatments--chemo and radiation with little success. Also links to videos for all-purpose good health and practices including testimonials of other cancer survivors. Both these substances, cannabis oil and essiac tea, are now making huge inroads into treating and curing cancer and gaining that well-deserved recognition. Many years ago, "Big Pharma" with the help of the FDA and corrupted medical and political figures blocked all natural remedies that stood in competition to their profit making and gave the name of holistic medicine to "quackery." Money is their business--not you. You are seen as pure profit, nothing else. Learn well what is available to you to cure any illness. Take responsibility for your own health and just in that one step you will feel so much better on the way to a complete recovery. Nature heals any disease. If our body gives us a sickness, it can also cure it. Best wishes, good health and a long and happy life. John Gabriel

Download or read book Tell Your Children written by Alex Berenson and published by Free Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In “a brilliant antidote to all the…false narratives about pot” (American Thinker), an award-winning author and former New York Times reporter reveals the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness, and a hidden epidemic of violence caused by the drug—facts the media have ignored as the United States rushes to legalize cannabis. Recreational marijuana is now legal in nine states. Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization has been built on myths—that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is beneficial for mental health. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, explodes those myths, explaining that almost no one is in prison for marijuana; a tiny fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical marijuana, mostly for people who have already used; and marijuana use is linked to opiate and cocaine use. Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—can cause psychotic episodes. “Alex Berenson has a reporter’s tenacity, a novelist’s imagination, and an outsider’s knack for asking intemperate questions” (Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker), as he ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating. With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, Tell Your Children is a “well-written treatise” (Publishers Weekly) that “takes a sledgehammer to the promised benefits of marijuana legalization, and cannabis enthusiasts are not going to like it one bit” (Mother Jones).

Download or read book Dying to Get High written by Wendy Chapkis and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at how patients living with terminal illness created one of the country’s first medical marijuana collectives Marijuana as medicine has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing scientific evidence of its therapeutic effects (relief of the nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from chronic and acute pain, to name a few), the drug remains illegal under federal law. In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the right to use physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in 2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal courts against the DEA. Using as their stage this fascinating profile of one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader, complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs from bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving account of what is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical marijuana.

Download or read book Stoned written by David Casarett M.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A doctor discovers the surprising truth about marijuana No substance on earth is as hotly debated as marijuana. Opponents claim it’s dangerous, addictive, carcinogenic, and a gateway to serious drug abuse. Fans claim it as a wonder drug, treating cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma, arthritis, migraines, PTSD, and insomnia. Patients suffering from these conditions need—and deserve—hard facts based on medical evidence, not hysteria and superstition. In Stoned, palliative care physician Dr. David Casarett sets out to do anything—including experimenting on himself—to find evidence of marijuana’s medical potential. He smears mysterious marijuana paste on his legs and samples pot wine. He poses as a patient at a seedy California clinic and takes lessons from an artisanal hash maker. In conversations with researchers, doctors, and patients around the world he learns how marijuana works—and doesn’t—in the real world. Dr. Casarett unearths tales of near-miraculous success, such as a child with chronic seizures who finally found relief in cannabidiol oil. In Tel Aviv, he learns of a nursing home that’s found success giving marijuana to dementia patients. On the other hand, one patient who believed marijuana cured her lung cancer has clearly been misled. As Casarett sifts the myth and misinformation from the scientific evidence, he explains, among other things: • Why marijuana might be the best treatment option for some types of pain • Why there’s no significant risk of lung damage from smoking pot • Why most marijuana-infused beer or wine won’t get you high Often humorous, occasionally heartbreaking, and full of counterintuitive conclusions, Stoned offers a compassionate and much-needed medical practitioner’s perspective on the potential of this misunderstood plant.
Download or read book The Science of Medical Cannabis written by David S. Younger and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural, scientific and legislative divide created by vigorous debates over the legalization of medical marijuana is giving way to a new synergy among community stakeholders across the United States. The goal is to improve access to medical marijuana for patients with refractory debilitating neurological disorders, cancer, and chronic pain as an alternative to ineffective pharmacotherapy and potentially addictive pain medications. The ultimate test of our nations resolve to ensure the welfare of our sickest patients is the enactment and implement of effective public health reform in the area of medical marijuana, also known as medical cannabis.This book evolved out of the present need for a definitive volume on the science and public health aspects of medical cannabis to fuel this national narrative. The ethnographic research presented in the concluding chapter was inspired by Professor Miriam W. Boeri and colleagues, at Bentley University in Waltham, MA. They examined views of community stakeholders including medical marijuana dispensary entrepreneurs, health care professionals, and patients in a state that legalized medical marijuana in 2013, yet there continued to be confusion and misunderstandings in the interpretation and implementation of medical marijuana guidelines during the period of policy shifts. Apparent gaps in policy development and implementation signaled the urgency for a comparison study addressing stakeholder views in New York State, where its medical marijuana program has legally dispensed the drug since 2014. The resulting pilot study was carried out in the Division of Health Policy and Management of the City University of New York School of Public Health. The research model incorporated ethnographic and grounded methodologies to detail the views of physicians, pharmacists, educators, patients, and entrepreneur stakeholders; with triangulation of data and application of dominant themes into a socioecological framework model to identify areas of public health policy reform. The findings of this study detail that New York, like other states that recently legalized the dispensation of medical marijuana, faces challenges beyond policy transparency, communication and education explicitly to improve the implementation process for applying and registering medical cannabis dispensaries, referring physicians, and qualified patient recipients.Ken Langone, Chairman of the Board of New York University Langone Health, and Steven Galetta, Chair of Neurology in the School of Medicine, where the authors is senior staff in neuroepidemiology, motivated him to pursue doctoral training in Health Policy and Management. The author has had the good fortune of interacting with thought-provoking medical students, neurology trainees, public health doctoral students, and professors who reinforce the high ethical standards in medical and public health practice and research. However, his patients still educate him in empathy and humanity. The author is grateful to his family, including his spouse Holly and sons Adam and Seth, who serve as his daily compass, encouraging him to take on projects that promote core values of medicine and humanity.
