Please help,friends husband dying

Most medical cannabis ‘doctor’ are doctor of naturopathy, not medical phycician. Even if they are medical physician, there’s still little official studies they can draw on thus I don’t think it would be thorough. Noone can have all the answers to anticancer properties of cannabis because the scientific studies on it is still in infancy.

So you still have to self-educate and make decision on it. It’s not important which strain you use, imho. The most important issues is that the oil should be at least 70%THC and to be taken in cancer protocol:- 60grams in 90 days, not 60. The first 30 days is to build up tolerance to concentrated THC. Even if you smoke weeds all your life, you take in about 10-30 mg of THC/day. For the protocol, after the first 30 days of stepping up the dosage, you’re suppose to take the oil 1 gram a day which amount to 700+gram/day.

The reason I recommended you to read Rick Simpson’s writing, not to reject ALL of his knowledge based on his outdated extraction method, is that he talked in very details about different forms of delivery and gives good foundations in knowledge about cannabis oil.

It is important what strain you use. Terpenes and cannabinoids work in concert with each other. This has been tested! There is peer-reviewed research out on this! Extremely important to know which terpenes you’re using, if you’re really trying to tailor your treatment.

Folks, my wife has lupis. Ok its not cancer but its shitty just the same. Her specialist said that while a medical doctor cannot recommend the use of cannabis because the drug has not been approved for use or thoroughly tested, she believes that there is strong anecdotal evidence that suggests it works for relief of many ailments. That was her way of saying, yep you should give it a try but I didnt say so. Let me say this from experience, thc cream… works better than tigerbalm or any of the perscription creams for arthritis and general pai relief as a topical, i use it and my wife swears by it and she has never smoked weed in her life her family frowns on it. Funny, they dont anymore! Granny wants some for herself and her pets! Go figure?
There can be no denying that cannabis aids chemo patients in eating when they feel sick, and getting sleep while tgey are in pain! Say it aint so and Ill call you a liar to yer face! Do t need to be an MD to see it happen!

@Weedlover1.

I would suggest you read this post by @THCCBD. She has been growing, making RSO, and treating her husband who has advanced cancer for at least 2 years.

Thanks!

@Cannabian I understand what you are saying about cannabis. I have a diagnosis with fibromyalgia and RLS, Even though it isn’t cancer, it can be debilitating. Just have a small amount of cannabis can get you a good restful night sleep makes a huge difference.

@Weedlover1 I am sorry to hear about your friend’s husband. My husband has incurable cancer, originated from the brain, and now Mets to all over his body. It’s a rather long story, but only about 45-50 people reported since 1950 (not sure of the year but it is in the mid 1900s) have the same disease and all died within 18 months. Because of it, doctor’s has no idea how to treat him.

If you need any help, let me know. If I know the answers to your questions, I would be more than happy to help.

Most medical professionals will agree that cannabis is fine as a palliative therapy. They will tell you straight up it’s not a cure.
I got the go ahead 2 years ago when a close friend was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I kept him in edibles as long as he could eat them.
I’m now doing the same thing for my boss, who’s also just been recently diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.

Cancer sucks. My heart goes out to everyone that ever has to deal with it.

Positive thinking and not giving up are very important. If one believes that cannabis will help, the placebo effect alone is invaluable.

Sorry about your mom. I hope she was surrounded by those that loved her.
I lost my uncle to pancreatic cancer 3 summers ago. That was my first experience with how decimating that particular cancer is.

So :+1: true

My partner used RSO for bladder cancer and it worked. It also got rid of his diabetes and made his copd much more manageable.

It was hard for me to believe that cannabis could really make a significant impact on disease. I thought medical cannabis was indicated simply for alleviating symptoms of cancer and chemotherapy. I had no idea that it actually treats the cancer itself.
