This is not just a crazy world where people say and do dangerous things. A couple of these are crazy, dangerous and medically irresponsible posts.

Thank goodness there are people here like THCBongman and Rebgirl who are testaments to the fact that traditional chemotherapies can and do effectively cure cancers. Thank goodness patients like the original poster of this thread listen to their legitimate doctors and take that advice, not absurd advice like that bit above about oleandar extract. My wife's in Houston this week doing prep for her board exams, but I'm going to ask another mod to look at a couple of the irresponsible threads above.

Be perfectly clear on this point. No one has found anything that works better for mitotic neoplastic diseases than traditional chemotherapies and radiation treatments. This combined with the fact that we have better and earlier diagnostics is why modern medicine is enjoying ever-increasing cure rates for cancer. Those rates will only continue to get better. There's incontrovertible pathological evidence that 95% of secondary cancers, by the way, are caused by primary cancers. We know this by simply looking under a microscope and seeing the original cancer cells when they've returned in new areas. It has NOT been shown that people who don't have chemo live four times longer than those who do. People who don't have chemo either die sooner or they live as long as they were meant to because they have slow-growing cancers that weren't destined to kill them in the first place.

Cannabis is good for treating chemo symptoms, but Katyowns is quite correct. No one has yet proven that cannabis is a cure for any type of cancer. In the links that Storm Crow loves to promote on this site, people need to notice that no where do any of those writeups StormCrow's links abstract studies in which cannabis isolates like synthetic THC and/or CBD are given to mice or affect cells in a petri dish in a seemingly positive manner. That's not the same thing as saying weed cures cancer. Not by a long shot. We seem to have hopeful evidence that the active ingredient THC has an impressive impact on glial cell death/glioma brain tumors. That's being studied in depth right now at a medical center in Spain. That's as far as the evidence goes--hopeful indications with some cells in response to isolated cannabis ingredients.
