Marijuana Compound May Fight Lung Cancer
this type of research has been done for many different types of cancer... all showing the same results. The biggest plus in our arguement's direction is the fact that cannabinoid cell-surface recetors are over expressed in tumor cells and that allows us to selectively treat only cancer cells with a threshold concentration, without harming the normal cells.
Alot of true scientists see this as quackery and toss it into the pile with all the other claims that people make when they think they've "killed cancer cells" with a certain chemical. This is because there are many chemicals (toxic and non-) that you can feed to cells and make them die at these concentrations these guys are using. But the cannabinoid research is for real, i did a presentation on a research paper claiming cannabinoids can be used to treat prostate cancer.
If your curious about cancer cures... look into the company Antigenics. They have now developed a cancer vaccine that utilizes your own immune system to fight off your cancer. Immunotherapy is the future of cancer treatment.
