It’s quite remarkable how many ‘success’ stories are out there when it comes to using cannabis for medicinal purposes. If we consider cancer, for example, many people have used or incorporated medical marijuana into their healing routine. One great example is Mykala Comstock. Mykala had T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a very rare and aggressive form of childhood leukaemia.
In July of 2012, doctors discovered a basketball-sized mass of lymphoblasts in her chest. Her mass was so large that she was not able to be sedated for risk of death from the pressure on her esophagus and heart. Chemotherapy wasn’t working, so it got to the point where doctors strongly recommended a bone marrow transplant along with full body radiation. Her parents said no, and started using a strict cannabis routine from that point on. Ever since she started, the cancer went into remission. It’s now four years later and Mykala is still completely cancer free. This is just one of many examples.
Earlier this year we (Collective Evolution) covered a story regarding a little girl who is using cannabis to treat her epilepsy. You can watch that video here.
When it comes to cannabis and science,
it’s firmly established in scientific literature that this plant has a
wide range of health benefits, and many people are choosing to opt out
of traditional treatment, which doesn’t always work (neither does
cannabis), to try cannabis. Here
is a great video of a molecular biologist explaining how THC completely
destroys cancer cells. It’s not just THC, however, it’s also other
ingredients found within the plant. Here
is a list we published almost three years ago of 20 medical studies
proving that cannabis shows very strong potential for cancer treatment.
These types of discoveries are important, especially given the fact that
prescription medications have raised a lot of controversy. Fraudulent
science has kills more than 100,000 people a year in the United States
alone.
Below is another remarkable story of a
young woman who was bedridden for years, with multiple ailments, as
explained in the video. She was on a variety of prescription
medications, and doctors were not sure if she would even make it to see
the age of 30. She decided to consult a doctor about his experience with
patients and how they use cannabis. She went on a cannabis juicing
treatment and the results were so significant that it changed her life.
It’s ridiculous how many people still
believe that cannabis is not medicine. This is a gift from nature, and
the science is quite clear. That being said, there are still many
unknowns. For example, cannabis use for medicinal purposes on a young
developing brain could have some negative consequences, but there is
still a lot of research to do. It’s sad to see that no clinical trials
have been set up given how much promise this plant has shown. On the
contrary, the instant a pharmaceutical grade drug shows some promise,
it’s made available for clinical trials right away. There is something
not quite right about that.
You Do Not Smoke It Or Heat It In Anyway To Access Its Medicinal Benefits
It’s important to note that when it
comes to using cannabis for medicinal purposes, it’s not just something
you can go and do. You are going to have to talk to doctors who have
treated people, find out the correct methods and dosage depending on
your disease, and more. For those who have done any sort of research
into this subject, you would know that the medicinal benefits from
cannabis do not come from smoking it, although it may help some people
relieve pain, deal with stress, and cope with anxiety.
As one doctors points out in the video above:
The thing that I warn my patients of is if you’re going to be juicing this flower and this leaf you are going to be doing this high dose non-psychoactive cannabinoid dietary approach, please do not heat it.
When you heat cannabis, not only do you
make it psychoactive, you completely change the chemical structure of
the plant, and that includes its medicinal properties, also brought up
in the video above.
To use the plant effectively we have to use it the way it evolved for 34 millions years, which is raw, because when it’s raw, the THC is bound up as THC acid.
