Given that currently, 39.6% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, cancers affects nearly everyone. Chances are, someone close to you has battled cancer.
[click-to-summary_shortcode][/click-to-summary_shortcode]
Oncologists, more than doctors in any other discipline within medicine, support the option of recommending cannabis as part of a treatment program for patients suffering from cancer. However, while the positive effects of using cannabis to alleviate cancer symptoms have been well documented, the U.S. government continues to classify cannabis as a Schedule I drug — high potential for abuse and no known medical use.
Even so, there are people that have been successfully cured from cancer with cannabis oil.
What Is Cannabis Oil?
Cannabis oil is an extract made by mixing cannabis flowers with a solvent such as ethanol, naphtha, petroleum, or butane. The extraction process removes the plant matter and leaves behind a sticky, oily substance that contains a high concentration of active compounds.
Cannabis oil is mainly taken orally as a medicine for various conditions. When taken alone, the oil is usually administered to the patient using an oral syringe or dropper. However, cannabis oil can also be taken along with food or made into edibles.
A common mistake that many people make is assuming that cannabis oil is just a single product. In fact, the term cannabis oil is commonly used to refer to a variety of different products. However, all cannabis oils seem to fall under two main categories: high-THC oils and high-CBD oils.
Cannabis oils that contain high levels of THC are perhaps the most recognized among medical patients. These oils include Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO) and the famous Rick Simpson oil (RSO). While THC oils can be found in many dispensaries, patients often choose to make their own at home by following various recipes that are available online.
Inspirational Stories
As we mentioned above, after several decades of stigma and criminalization, the image of cannabis is finally being reconsidered. Myths and prejudices are now giving way to the recognition of this ancient plant’s incredible medicinal properties. Indeed, if we had to make a full list of the positive effects marijuana has on one’s mental and physical health, that would be a huge one. If you don’t believe in us, make your decision after reading these amazing stories of survival thanks to the use of cannabis oil. It’s true, this miracle herb has saved the lives of many people!
#1- Rick Simpson
In 2003, Rick Simpson discovered three suspicious spots on his face and neck and was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer. Rick's decision was to apply cannabis oil to his skin cancer. He applied his cannabis oil to some bandages and put them on the skin cancer. After 4 days of waiting he decided it was time to see if anything had happened under the bandages. To Ricks surprise the cancer was gone. His cannabis oil had cured his cancer.
Rick recounted his story to the Serbian magazine Telegraph. He began his story: “It was 2002. The doctors had given up on me because I’d had more than one unsuccessful operation on three pigmented lesions on my face’s skin. As soon as these were removed, they would reappear even more infected! Since I had been studying plants as a hobby for years, one day as I was looking at my wounds in the mirror, I remembered a study from the University of Virginia that said that THC, an active component of cannabis could cure cancer. I took some cannabis oil I had prepared beforehand from the cabinet and dripped a few drops directly on the wound.”
“After four days I removed the bandages and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The wound was no longer there, and my skin was regenerated! I immediately started talking to people about how I had cured skin cancer with cannabis oil… Everyone laughed at me, but then eleven and a half years have passed, and the cancer still hasn’t returned.”
In 2008 a filmmaker named Christian Laurette released the first free documentary on YouTube sharing Rick's story. The documentary is titled "Run From the Cure". If you haven't watched it... you should! This documentary has been viewed millions of times worldwide and has helped millions of people. Now, Rick has wrote two books, "Phoenix Tears: The Rick Simpson Story" and "Phoenix Tears, Rick Simpson Oil, Nature’s Answer For Cancer".
#2- Mike Cutler
Mike Cutler, was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in 2009. After losing consciousness at work, Mike was taken to the hospital for a complete workup. What they discovered was the worst news he could have heard. His doctor eventually obtained a CT scan which showed extensive hepatocellular (liver) cancer. Due to the widespread involvement of the cancer he was given only three months to live.
Mike’s doctors called him lucky since he was a candidate for a liver transplant which can be a cure. He received a new liver in November of 2009. For over two years after the transplant Mike was doing well but, by 2012 his cancer had returned. As is often the case, his “new” liver cancer was much more aggressive.
Mr Cutler received numerous bouts of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in a futile attempt to stop the relentless advance of his cancer. Finally, the hospital admitted defeat and sent Mike home to die. He was given a bag full of one litre bottles of morphine tincture and tablets of extended release morphine, Zomorph 30 mg for pain, lots of pain.
From Dying to Living
At home he was miserable with severe, unrelenting abdominal pain. In addition, he had to deal with the loss of his “top set of teeth” from the toxic effects of chemotherapy. Moreover, the chemo had injured his pancreas and he eventually developed type I diabetes. Because of the chemo he had to take insulin for the rest of his life. In a interview, mr. Cutler said:
“They're-cut my 25″ scar to insert a mesh to hold my stomach together, which in turn caused trauma to my nerve endings. How has it affected my life? These last couple of years have been a constant extreme pain, caused me to be bed ridden, I needed help to dress, bathe and undress. Finding out I could die was terrible. All I had in those dark days was my laptop, and that’s when I began searching for something else that could help me – I couldn’t accept I was going to die.”
Desperate to survive, he began to look online - and found a YouTube video (Run From the Cure), which described the use of cannabis oil as a cure. He claims that just three days after taking the class B drug, his excruciating pain disappeared.
In 2014, the grandfather-of-nine went for a biopsy at the Royal Free Hospital in London. To his relief, doctors told him the new cancerous cells had vanished. A spokeswoman for the Royal Free Hospital confirmed Mr Cutler had not received any cancer treatment since his transplant in November 2009.
#3- Darren Millers
Darren Miller was 50 years old when he was told he had (at most) 1 year to live due to inoperable lung and pericardial sac cancer and that was when he immediately began chemotherapy. Not long after the bad news, Darren and his wife Amy spoke with Mark Pederson, co-founder of the ECS Therapy Center in Peoria, and Rick Simpson” regarding medical cannabis for treating cancer.
Darren decided to try the holistic route, after the chemo left him feeling dazed and confused. He obtained a legal medical cannabis card in his state and within 24 hours of use. In an interview, Darren said that his mouth sores were vanished completely, while he had no idea what the state of his tumors were.
By combining chemo treatments with medical cannabis, Darren was able, within just six months, to get his cancer under control and his blood work showed normal counts for the first time in years.
Darren told reporters, “...Today, which is seven months later, they tell me I am completely cancer-free–not remission. I’ve cured my cancer. Now, am I giving credit to the cannabis oil? Absolutely. Am I giving credit to chemo? I would have to say yes, too. I did both...”
Miller plans to take a small dose of cannabis oil each day for the rest of his life to keep the lung cancer from returning or taking hold in other parts of his body.
#4- Dennis Hill
Dennis was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in February 2010, when six biopsies revealed cancerous regions with high Gleason scores, a measure of aggressiveness. Although his urologist made an appointment to start radiation, Dennis declined in favor of cannabis extract therapy, which he learned was a potentially viable option.
In 2013, on the website www.cureyourowncancer.org, Dennis wrote his history and said: “Three years ago, after a prostate biopsy, I was given the diagnosis of aggressive Stage III adenocarcinoma. I didn’t know what to do. The urologist made appointments for me to start radiation, and maybe chemo. Then a friend told me that cannabis cures cancer. It just so happened that the first human trials of cannabis treatment of astrocytomas (inoperable brain cancer), were published with encouraging results.
So I decided; rather than die from the medical treatment, I would do the cannabis cure. Now… where to get some. There was no dispensary in the area, but a friend made me cannabis butter, so I took that, up to tolerance. In three months the primary cancer was gone, only minor metastatic lesions were left. At that point I found a supplier for Rick Simpson’s oil and killed off the metastases in the next three months. Now I just take a maintenance dose of locally produced hash oil that is 1:1 THC:CBD with about a 30% potency. This will certainly keep me clear of cancer, anywhere, for ever.”
Remission and Recovery from Cancer
After only three months, the main tumor was gone, but a few metastatic lesions remained. In another three months, all traces of cancer were gone.
In an interview Dennis explain how the whole six months treatment that evolved from cannabis butter to whole plant hash oil created no interruptions with his daily life. He is a former track scholarship athlete at the University of Houston, and he runs two miles every morning, which he continued all through his high dosage cannabis treatment. He also never missed a day of work at either of his two jobs during that time.
He said he actually enjoyed the treatment. He took two doses daily, before work was a smaller dose and after work a heavier dose.
#5- David Triplett
David Triplett had skin cancer on his nose that was treated and then came back. His doctor recommended chemotherapy cream, but he did Cannabis Oil some research online and found out about cannabis oil. He decided to give it a try and record what happened. The pictures he took over the course of his treatment show small dark spots on his nose growing and then disappearing.
In his documentary “Cured Too: A Cancer Story“, he said about his recovery that: “I used the oil for three to four weeks before I saw any results, and then the results were dramatic,” he testifies in the documentary. “Not only was the oil healing my nose, but it was bringing cancer to the surface that I didn’t even know was there.”
Also, the documentary gives instructions for treating skin lesions with cannabis oil and shows the healing process of several skin-cancer patients.
#6- Trevor Smith
Trevor Smith was 52 when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. His urologist recommended chemotherapy, radiation and surgery which would remove his bladder and prostate. Before committing to that course of action, Smith and his wife Carole looked into alternative treatments.
He changed his diet, began taking natural supplements and eventually tried cannabis oil. His condition improved and he opted to not have chemo, radiation or surgery. As of February 2014, two years after the initial diagnosis, Smith has had two consecutive cystoscopies that have shown him to be cancer free.
Trevor’s wife Carol Smith, wrote on the website www.cureyourowncancer.org, she said that about how was the battle of Trevor during his disease and also, how difficult was to find the cannabis oil: “The conventional Dr’s gave my husband 18 months to 2 years to live if we did not do the surgery and the chemo. We did none of them, only natural healing with vitamins diet and lifestyle change and cannabis oil. I first saw "Run From the Cure" in November 2011 but it took me until April of 2012 to find the oil. It has been hard work for me as a carer and wife and I never stopped my research for 1 day in the last 19 months but today I can say 19 months after my husband’s first diagnosis he is cancer free and still has his bladder intact. He has been cancer free now for the last two cystoscopies, so five months Cancer free in February 2014 he has no metastasis to other organs.”
A New Lifestyle
About Trevor lifestyle now, Carol says that: “My husband completely changed the way he eats, he has no dairy or sugar, no white flour or white potatoes, he has mainly a plant based diet with a little fish or chicken and no processed food, pastries meats cheeses etc, he had Essiac, he had mega doses of vitamin C and D3, vitamin B17, K2, detox powder's initially, then he had DHEA to build his immune system back so that his body could heal itself, then a year after doing all of this, we found cannabis oil and added that to all we had done, he did 90 days on the cannabis oil and then maintenance dose of rice grain size two or 3 times weekly. It has been hard for 18 months but it is a success story which we will continue to tell the world about.”
#7- Shona Banda
Shona Banda may not have battled Cancer, but her eight year war with Crohn's disease had her bedridden most of the time and walking with a cane. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease around 2004. She underwent several surgeries and was put on several pharmaceuticals, but her condition worsened progressively until she was considered terminal. She was bedridden and the food she managed to eat didn’t provide nutrition.
She began suffering from cachexia, a wasting away that accompanies chronic disease. She was waiting to die. Her viewing of Rick Simpson’s “Run from the Cure” video documentary inspired Shona, until she realized she had no way to get enough cannabis plant with THC to make the featured cannabis oil that had healed many Nova Scotians of not only cancer but several other maladies that were “incurable”. She lives in Kansas, not even a medical marijuana kind of state.
Shona was inhaling small amounts of marijuana from a vaporizer to help reduce her pain and increase her appetite. Vaporizing is less irritating to the lungs and throat and produces less tell-tale pot aromas. Her husband pointed out that the marijuana vapor residue inside the glass globe cover looked like cannabis oil. Shona started scraping it out and putting it into capsules for consumption three times daily.
The Results
After a very few days Shona could walk without a cane. Soon she began eating and sleeping better and putting on weight. It wasn’t long before she completely gave up all her pharmaceuticals. Now she is very healthy and active. Her journal of this journey became a published book, titled Live Free or Die.
She was asked about her recovery, and she said: “I’m not in my death bed. I’m working for the first time in 4 years, I was not able to work. I’m hiking, I’m swimming, I’m able to play with my kids, I’m able to do things. I’m so busy now it’s not even funny.”Final Thoughts
As you can see all of these testimonials conclude that the pharmaceutical industry provides us with treatments, but not cures. So when there is something that might give you the opportunity to become healthy again, getting you rid of cancer or some other terrible illness, why wouldn’t you give it a shot?
Testimonials are the proof that you can cure cancer and many other diseases, just by changing your lifestyle and using alternatives cancer treatments. The choice is yours! Cure yourself and enjoy your life.
