Cannabis for Cancer

[420]

one of my family members has cancer...
she is undergoing chemo...
she has never smoked weed in her life...
i'm trying to talk her into it for the nausea, appetite, insomnia and depression...
she is open to discussion and has asked me to find proof that Cannabis will not effect her condition or have any bad reaction with the drugs she is currently taking to battle these things...
she wants to be able to supply this information to her doctor for further discussion before actually blazing...
if you guys can help me find all information possible, on this subject and re-post it here, you just may help save her life... or at least make it more enjoyable...

thanks and much love to you all.

Sorry to hear that. My aunt was diagnost with breast cancer about 10 years ago and she fought it and today she's good as new. =) Best of luck with your family member. As she was undergoing chemo she was using marijuana. I know that this helped her alot. Anyways, I'll look into it bro, there must be some med research or info out there.

The same exact thing is happening in my life also 420.

Thanks for the info.

this is happening to millions of lives...
and getting worse every day...
let's see how much information we can dig up here...
let's keep government paid studies out of this, as they are going to be one sided and probably against us...as usual.

I tryed to convince my mom that MJ would have made it easier on her when she was going through chemo but she wouldn't listen... instead, she missed meals and sat infront of the tv in pain. Luckily, she made it through the chemo in less then seven months with a 100% recovery (even got all her hair back) but she still suffered an unnessisary amount.

Best wishes to your familys 420 and qWerty

i'm waiting for a list of meds she is taking...

while we're at it, does anyone have any information on oxygen treatments?
i once met a guy who said he worked in a doctor's office issuing oxygen treatments for $20,000 that were curing cancer, aids, everything...
they pass your blood through 100% oxygen, end results, perfect disease free blood... no more viruses, cancer, disease, etc...
the government will not allow it to be a public service obviously, because then everyone would get better and it would screw up thier master plan...
anyone have any info on this?

thanks!

Sorry to hear about your situation 420. .. my father fought for 2 hard years with stomache cancer. . . When the chemo and other meds started coming he found himself with no appitite and couldn't sleep. It took a little convincing, but I set him up. . . and it helped a little with the appitite, but really helped him with sleeping. It was painful for him to eat after they removed part of his stomache, so MJ was hard pressed for relief I suppose. . . I know he had some literature to show his doctors about MJ, I might still have it. . . I'll keep you posted. . .

Again, I'm sorry. . .its tough

at the rate things are going, it is most certain all of us will have more and more relatives with cancer, including ourselves...

everyone, please post as much information as you can find on cannabis for cancer... please re-post this info and include the link to the source at the end... this way we can view all the text here in this thread without having to goto 420 different websites...

As far as so called oxygen treatment, http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...er/oxygen.html

And I'll check a few medical journals that I know deal with side effects of marijuana in cancer patients and see if they mention any specific medicine.

I also owe you a PM, just been busy.

thank you one three, bring it on brother!

If she is conscious about her health suggest eating it as oppose to smoking it, there is nothing unhealthy about eating it where as smoking it we all know it is an extremely tar filled plant. Edibles are often overlooked and this suggestion might help her feel more comfortable trying this plant as a form of medicine.

great point!

edibles and vaporization may be best for her...
