What is the best method of taking it? What is the correct CBD % content? \"\n_____________________\nAccording to the American Cancer Society, Prostate cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes is categorized under 'regional stage'. The 5-year survival rate for regional stage prostate cancer is nearly 100%. There is no scientific data in regards to the prognosis with the use of cannabis oil. \nThe goal of hormone therapy for prostate cancer is to reduce the levels of male hormones. There are two types of drugs used for hormone therapy: luteinizing hormone-releasing hormones (LH-RH) agonist and androgen-blocking drugs. Medical marijuana is not known to have any significant interactions with prostate hormone therapy medications. Research demonstrates that various cannabinoids inhibit cancer cell growth. Cannabinoids also help cancer patients by treating nausea, vomiting and pain and by stimulating appetite. Unfortunately there are no studies on the exact dose for the treatment of cancer in humans. Anecdotal reports suggest a high CBD low THC ratio (10:1 or 20:1), titrating up in milligrams as tolerated.  \n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8451-markdown","title":"What is the best way to ingest CBD Oil for prostate cancer patient? 2.

There have been some studies  showing that THC and CBD may contribute to a decrease in disease progression. I am quoting from a study done by the American Association of Cancer Research:\n\n\"Here, we show that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), through activation of CB2 cannabinoid receptors, reduces human breast cancer cell proliferation by blocking the progression of the cell cycle and by inducing apoptosis. \"\n\nThis study, performed on cells in a lab, showed that THC induces cell death (apoptosis) of cancerous cells. The researchers further hypothesized that, \"these data might set the bases for a cannabinoid therapy for the management of breast cancer\".\n\nYou can access the full article here:\nhttp://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/66/13/6615.full\n\nI hope this helps you.\n\nrachelnp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8266-markdown","title":"How much THC with CBD to ward off Cancer?","slug":"how-much-thc-with-cbd-to-ward-off-cancer","content":"\"My husband was diagnosed with stage 2b lung cancer.

Can Hemp oil (CBD) be given with this problem?","slug":"breast-cancer-with-a-clotting-problem-on-coumadin-can-hemp-oil-cbd-be-given-with-this-problem","content":"\n_____________________\nThere have not been enough studies don't to indicate that cannabis can increase the chance of bleeding, but it is suggested that you take caution when combining cannabis and blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, including warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, and clopidogrel (Plavix). Hemp could increase the anticoagulant effect of blood thinners by inhibiting its metabolism. It directly affects the anticoagulant properties of platelets in the blood. Therefore it naturally acts as a blood thinner and should rather be a replacement for blood thinning meds. More studies and understanding of Cannabis oil is needed. The lack of knowledge of how to use medical marijuana effectively leads to the advice of rather not using cannabis oils for patients using blood thinners for their clotting deficiency or other cardiac medical conditions. Please follow up with your primary care provider with this concern and seek his medical opinion.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8169-markdown","title":"What type of cannabis can you recommend for cancer induced peripheral neuropathy?","slug":"what-type-of-cannabis-can-you-recommend-for-cancer-induced-peripheral-neuropathy","content":"\n_____________________\nWas the peripheral neuropathy caused by the cancer are by the chemotherapy to treat the cancer? If you are experiencing peripheral neuropathy it is usually due to the chemotherapy treatments. I would highly encourage you to follow through with getting an examination to see if the cause of your neuropathy can be determined. Using a CBD dominant topical salve or cream along with a high CBD tincture or vaporizing oil taken internally may be of great help to restore healthy nerve function. In addition you may want to address posture issues and increase your exercise. Once we are diagnosed with cancer we do recognize how precious life really is and even going for walks feels great. Enjoy life and love yourself.\n\ndrolson","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":36,"numPages":15,"currentPage":4,"id":5042,"name":"Cancer","slug":"cancer","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
