The information based on studies regarding cancer is fascinating. The American Cancer society seems to have embraced CBD. Their documentation clearly states that CBD possesses health benefits, and drugs using CBD extracts now exist. ACS cannot show the public that they are doing backflips (deep down inside) as the FDA and others keep them under scrutiny. CBD, with the appropriate dosages, could provide multiple health benefits when taking the correct oils, edibles, or water-soluble products, within their natural form.
From the American Cancer Society:
“How can marijuana affect the symptoms of cancer?
Several small studies of people who smoked marijuana found that it can be helpful in treating nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy.
A few studies have found that inhaled (smoked or vaporized) marijuana can be a helpful treatment for neuropathic pain (pain caused by damaged nerves). Smoked marijuana has also helped improve food intake in HIV patients in studies. There are no studies on the effects of marijuana oil or hemp oil. Studies have long shown that people who took marijuana extracts in clinical trials tended to need less pain medicine.
More recently, scientists reported that THC and other cannabinoids, such as CBD, slow growth and/or cause death in certain types of cancer cells growing in lab dishes. Some animal studies also suggest certain cannabinoids may slow growth and reduce the spread of some forms of cancer.
There have been some early clinical trials of cannabinoids in treating cancer in humans and more studies are planned. While the studies so far have shown that cannabinoids can be safe in treating cancer, they do not show that they help control or cure the disease.
Relying on marijuana alone as treatment while avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.”
