Here is a very recent documentary on the value of cannabis in treating cancers etc.

I personally have not used the oil but do use vaporized product.  My latest tests show still NED. (Diagnosed nine years ago this coming May) At this point I am using it as a preventative measure and also to attempt to deal with the biofilms in my right lung which are immune to antibiotics and have caused serious lung infections several times a year for the past few years.   So far so good.  

Hope this is helpful.

VeraRadovic.....  How is your father doing now?  If you send me a private message I'll gladly be of help in any way I can.

I was prescribed the synthetic Synthroid when first diagnosed with low thyroid function but had problems with it.  The doctor who treats my cancer with alternative protocols recommended I switch to the natural form of levothyroxine which has to be compounded by a pharmacist.  I have been using it for almost eight years now and have never experienced any negative issues.  Here's a very informative link which I hope will be helpful in explaining the benefits of using natural as opposed to synthetic.

I agree with you Joan.. We all need to be cynical and on guard  because there are many unscrupulous people out there who will take advantage of other people's vulnerabilities.  

I first began researching alternative protocols when my sister was diagnosed in 1999 and died as a result of the standard of care treatment for non Hodgkin's lymphoma.  Thank goodness by the time I was diagnosed myself five years later I had the advantage of having a reputable Naturopath and Medical/Integrative Doctor to advise me about what was effective for NHL and what was not..   My latest bout of research has been on the effectiveness of cannabinoids for treating cancer and I am in awe of what I have learned.

My Doctor here in Canada is able to write prescriptions for medical marijuana and then our Federal Government supplies it,  for a fee of course.   $150.00 for 30 grams.

Lots of good information if one does a Google search on PubMed using the words Cannabinoids/Cancer.   Here's just one link from my file which I hope you'll find interesting,

p.s. We owe a lot to the person who started this Salvestrol thread.  Such valuable information here.  I have learned a lot from the many posts and thank everyone for their efforts at sharing.

Hi Kimberly

Please pass along my good wishes to your mother. I pray she finds effective treatment.

Don't understand why the above lung cancer link is not valid since I copied and pasted it from the PubMed site.

Here is one re breast cancer which I hope will open

Hi Zoe01

Thanks so much for this url.  I have been researching this for some time now.  My doctor recommends it for many of his cancer patients and here in Canada we are fortunate to have medical marijuana supplied by our Government for $5.00 per gram when one has a prescription for it.  My doctor recommends inhaling the herb from a vaporizer rather than using it in cigarette form.

There are some valuable links at the end of the message on the link you provided and if one does a search on PubMed for their particular type ofcancer and cannabinoidsthey should find some very helpful information there as well.

Here is an example re lung cancer

And another re the digestive system

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=cannabinoids+Esophageal+Cancer

Please pass along my good wishes to your father.  He is lucky to have you advocating for him.

How right you are when you say follow the $$$$$.  

Thankfully though changes are slowly taking place and more and more professionals are becoming courageous enough to step outside the box and take a chance on being forthcoming with the truth.   Here in Canada the government has made marijuana legal for patients who get a prescription for "medical marijuana" from their doctors and then they supply either the product or one has a choice of purchasing the seed to grow their own.

Here's a link to some very valuable information about it's efficacy in treating a variety of cancers and other dis eases.

Sorry the link I sent you privately did not open for you Dick.  Hopefully this one will.
