Cannabis heals cancers
It was disclosed today by US scientists led by Dr Sean McAllister that a compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer spreading throughout the body.
The research team from the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute is upbeat that cannabidiol or CBD could be a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy.
There more than 400 active chemicals in cannabis. CBD is one of those major chemical compounds with active healing properties found in cannabis. The other major compound is known as THC. CBD is an anti inflammatory that restores the normal homeostatic balance of the human cells.
It has been reported for several years now that CBD offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects. This latest research appears to proved another solid confirmation of this age old claim.
CBD Gene Blocker
CBD works by blocking the activity of a gene called Id-1 which is believed to be responsible for the aggressive spread of cancer cells away from the original tumour site – a process called metastasis.
Past work has shown CBD can block a range of aggressive cancers including human brain cancers. This latest study found CBD appeared to have a similar effect on breast cancer cells in the lab.
Several cancer drugs based on plant chemicals are already used widely, such as vincristine – which is derived from a type of flower called Madagascar Periwinkle and is used to treat breast and lung cancer. It will be interesting to see whether those who have banned and demonized cannabis, will permit CBD to be used to heal women with breast cancers.
Future hope
One must remember that currently the medical establishment has a limited range of options in treating aggressive forms of cancer. Those treatments, such as chemotherapy, are sometimes effective but they can also be extremely noxious and difficult for patients. Attimes they kill a patient faster than the actual cancer.
Cannabis, the rastaman’s herb has long been known as a herb given for the healing of the nations. In the Book of Revelations it was prophesied that in the last days, a certain aggressive sore will be poured on the children of men. And they will be sorely afflicted physically and pyschically by the ravages of this sore. This sore has been identified as the current pandemic of cancers which has hit the world’s population following the end of the second world war. Prior to the end of WWII cancer was never a major disease in human history.
However, it was promised that along with this sore will also be given a herb which shall be for the healing of the nations. For many decades Rastaman has shown the world that this herb is cannabis. Let those who have ears hear, and those who have eyes see; but those that wish to continue on the path of destruction and damnation, perdition shall surely be their reward.
According to Dr. McAllister: “This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy (for cancer) that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects.”
Maria Leadbeater of Breast Cancer Care said: “Many people experience side-effects while having chemotherapy, such as nausea and an increased risk of infection, which can take both a physical and emotional toll.
“Any drug that has fewer side-effects will, of course, be of great interest.”

I don’t have cancer, but I do have lupus which is an autoimmune disease that causes inflamation. Weed does help with some symptoms of the disease as well. Healing of the nations, here’s more proof, thank you.
Sak Pase all:
This a great reference article about the healing properties of marijuana. It goes to show that the tree of life and the herb works are truth and rights. We should fight for complete legalization so everyone can have full access from early. Perhaps this herb can help during pregnancy and even infertility and menstrual cramp problems that females experience during their life cycles.
I know that my children are less hyper and more attentive and meditative when they are envelopped in the smoke of the herb of life.
I have full respect for this and I thank the author for reporting this on the net for those of us who don’t read the Times regularly.
Also, as a Nyabinghi Rasta I am especially happy because it proves once again that our faith is true and humanity has better step up.
Blessings.
