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}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8117-markdown","title":"I live in Arizona.  I have thyroid cancer in my lungs.

","slug":"anyone-have-any-advice-on-cannabis-use-for-parkinsons-and-seperately-cervical-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nI always recommend a high CBD product such as a tincture in MCT oil with a CBD:THC ratio of >20:1.  Use it sublingual twice daily every day for Parkinsons or chronic inflammation/cancer and every 6 hours as needed on top of that for muscle spasms/tremor/anxiety/depression. There is a study where patients acknowledged continued benefits of their Parkinson symptoms even after 14 weeks of use.  This works well, because any ratio of CBD:THC >10:1 will not make you \"high.\" It will take about 2-3 weeks for full efficacy, and you must titrate your dose up as you see fit as you will build tolerance about every 2-3 weeks.  Hope this helps!\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8047-markdown","title":"Is there any research that indicates marijuana can cure cancer?","slug":"is-there-any-research-that-indicates-marijuana-can-cure-cancer","content":"\"My husband currently takes medical cannabis for spinal cord cancer and hopefully eliminate this health problem. Is there any big research done on this topic? He has a hard time adjusting to the THC, we need to reach 150 mg/day; any advice on that?\"\n_____________________\nCannabis helps patients of spinal cord diseases manage their symptoms. Most spinal cord diseases have no cure, so the focus of treatment is on limiting the disease’s progression with medications, surgery and physical therapy, while simultaneously managing its associated symptoms. Research studies have shown that medical cannabis can improve pain, sleeping problems, bladder control, spasticity, muscle twitching and depression commonly associated with spinal cord diseases. CBD, in particular, has significant analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory activity without the psychoactive effect (high) of THC. Extensive clinical research has shown that a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio is effective for neuropathic pain. I recommend  a 1:1 CBD:THC dosage. However if he is having trouble with adjusting to the THC then consider a CBD dominant remedy with low THC and gradually increase the amount of THC to a tolerable level.\n\nnptherasse\n_____________________\n Are you suffering from cancer,seizure,Anxiety,Panic  attack,Depression, diabetes, glaucoma, headache, insomnia, joint pains,  multiply sclerosis, muscle spasms, nausea, etc and need the best strains  of medical marijuana and Cbd Oil to help ease your pain?? why not try  out our wide range of products today at:( tplug05 at gmail dot com) \n\nalison leton","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8033-markdown","title":"Can marijuana help alleviate the side effects from chemotherapy?","slug":"can-marijuana-help-alleviate-the-side-effects-from-chemotherapy","content":"\"I have ovarian cancer.\"\n_____________________\nI think cannabis is definitely worth a shot. Many chemotherapy patients find that using cannabis helps alleviate nausea and stimulate appetite. In fact, I've known some patients undergoing chemotherapy who are using Marinol, which is a synthetic, isolated form of THC. However, many of them find that use of the actual cannabis plant is better at relieving symptoms. Here is an article about nausea, chemotherapy, and cannabis that may help: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/55a5842c6636300006510000/marijuana-shows-promise-as-a-treatment-for-chemotherapy-induced-nausea\n\nI have personally used cannabis to help nausea associated with PMS symptoms and car sickness (when I'm the passenger, of course). It is definitely my go-to when I'm feeling nauseous (that and ginger tea).\n\nDanielle Lim ","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8032-markdown","title":"Do you know of any medical clinic in Europe that perform CBD injections for cancer patients?","slug":"do-you-know-of-any-medical-clinic-in-europe-that-perform-cbd-injections-for-cancer-patients","content":"\n_____________________\nI did a websearch about \"injectable\" CBD and found no reputable clinics in Europe, Israel, or anywhere in the world that perform this procedure and for good reason.  Injection can be subcutaneous (into the fat layer under the epidermis); however if there is no hospital-level sterilization of the injection equipment as well as purification/ sterilization of the injected substance there is a risk of cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis (\"flesh-eating disease\") or worse.  If you plan to inject intravenously, you have the risk of infection as well as the possible injection of air or the CBD preparation, thereby causing a potentially fatal embolism.  A cannabis researcher at the University of Colorado Springs Dr. Bob Melamede had some additional thoughts why injectable cannabinoids (CBD or other) are probably impossible: http://www.westword.com/news/marijuana-thc-injection-fears-are-idiotic-says-doctor-and-cannabis-expert-5823296   Basically, he's saying the cannabinoid preps are lipophilic, i.e. they don't mix in water, saline, etc; it would be like injecting yourself w/ sap.  Thankfully there are much safer means of administering cannabis.  Keep in mind not all chemotherapy agents for cancer are given via IV infusion;  many are admistered orally.  Besides traditional cannabis edibles, there are  tincture drops too.  Frequent, regular dosing during the day means the blood cannabinoid concentration is kept at a peak.  I hope this information is useful\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8011-markdown","title":"What do you recommend for cancer patients?","slug":"what-do-you-recommend-for-cancer-patients","content":"\"I am currently doing well, but I have brain cancer. \"\n_____________________\nI am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Fortunately, there has been research that suggests a potential clinical benefit of incorporating cannabis into your treatment. I am quoting from a study published by the American Association for Cancer Research in 2014:\n\n\"High-grade glioma is one of the most aggressive cancers in adult humans and long-term survival rates are very low as standard treatments for glioma remain largely unsuccessful. Cannabinoids have been shown to specifically inhibit glioma growth as well as neutralize oncogenic processes such as angiogenesis.\"\n\nYou may access the full article here: http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2014/11/12/1535-7163.MCT-14-0402\n\nAnother good resource on the use of cannabinoids in cancer treatment can be found here (there is a health professionals version and a patient version): \nhttps://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/cannabis-pdq\n\nPlease also ensure you are in open communication with your doctor if you decide to incorporate cannabis into your treatment.\n\nHope this information helps!\n\nrachelnp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8002-markdown","title":"What would be the best type and way to ingest cannabis for prostrate cancer that has spread to the bones?","slug":"what-would-be-the-best-type-and-way-to-ingest-cannabis-for-prostrate-cancer-that-has-spread-to-the-bones","content":"\"...and very painful but patient does not like feeling loopy in the head as he puts it\"\n_____________________\nIf the patient is complaining of feeling \"loopy\" he may need to decrease the amount of THC he is consuming.

Cancer is term that encompasses a wide range of disease processes, some of which are easily curable, and some of which are life threatening and have a very poor prognosis.
