CANNABIS OIL for CANCER?
This is
interesting. I've seen this before. But could never bring myself to buy it. But
this video was recommended by Shona Banda, a cancer survivor living in Kansas,
who was interviewed by Ben Swann. Give a listen. I try to listen to the words that
people use to gauge the effectiveness of any medicine. Ms. Banda uses the
phrase "it was helpful" to describe the benefits of the cannabis
oil. So goes on later in the interview to say that it absolutely saved
her life, saved her from a life on the couch, meaning that the oils gave her
active, social, and productive life back. At one point, she says that she
can now drink wine with her girlfriends. I liked hearing that.
Being sociable is absolutely one of the earmarks of health. I do not want
to take anything away whatsoever from her experience with it, but mightn't
there be other things that would be helpful in the treatment of cancer?
She explains that she learned that she had Crohn's Disease, which is an immune
disorder of the bowels. She explains that to create 2 ounces of cannabis
oil, you need a pound of marijuana. Swann explained that the US
government has a patent on the CBD cannabinoid. It
was even reviewed on Anderson Cooper's 360, where he
interviewed Dr. Gupta. She said that she was smoking 9 joints a day.
Says she found ways to mediate the high. For focus, she relied on reishi mushrooms to
remove the cloudiness from her brain. She says that she was drinking
Gano-infused coffee made with Ganoderma,
a medicinal mushroom. She infused the coffee with reishi
mushroom as well. She was trying to remove the
tight grip in her gut. After taking the oil, red droplets gathering all
over the vaporizer.
As to food remedies for Crohn's Disease, it sounds like you want to consume
foods that are easy to digest and that don't inflame the tract anymore.
Some people have dairy allergies, so I presume that dairy may not be the best
for you. If you're uncertain about which foods to take, consider which foods
you should eliminate that might be causing inflammation. Things like
sugar and sweeteners in general. These cause inflammation and
fatigue. Fatigue is not good when you're looking for strength and
vitality. If you're serious about strengthening your body, eliminate
sugars. I had a glass of orange juice last week for the first time in 2
years and the results made me feel weak. So be careful with sugar.
Regarding the dairy, some dairy is could be beneficial, like unsweetened, plain
whole fat yogurt. Try this first. If the fat in the yogurt is too
much or causes discomfort, then try the low or non-fat varieties.
The goal,
apparently from smoking medical marijuana or cannabis oils, is to get the cannabinoids.
According to Wikipedia, "These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally
in the body by humans and animals) . . . ." And there are several, at
least 60 active cannabinoids identified
in cannabis. Here are a few of them. She claims
that cannabinoids exist in all plants and that the oils from plants have
equally beneficial effects. Is it a case that cannabinoids in cannabis
are abundant, making the plant particularly suited for healing and therapeutic
advantages? If this is the case, then it means that any green-leafed
plant can produce similar effects. But how is cannabis classified?
Is it an anti-oxidant? And how is a cannabinoid different from an
anti-oxidant? For there are anti-oxidants that currently are quite
powerful and by powerful, I mean that they contain the highest ORAC, oxygen radical absorbance capacity,
levels. Dr. Barry Sears of Zone Labs, Inc., has claimed that extra virgin
olive oil has a 30,000 ORAC value. Yet according to this chart, it's not olive oil that has
the highest ORAC value but foods like cloves and cinnamon that have an ORAC
value into the hundreds of thousands. That is potent. This chart states that extra virgin
olive oil has only 1150 ORAC value. Ouch!
Ms. Banda
claims that the cannabinoids in her cannabis oil heal nerve endings. It
was a good interview but I would prefer the oils to the cigarettes because no
one wants to be out to lunch.
What other foods might remedy Crohn's?
