Cannabinoids and Cancer Therapies

By Billee Sharp and Leonard Leinow

Advances in cancer treatment are leading to an increase in positive outcomes for cancer sufferers, new strategies which include cannabis medication are proving to be effective against the disease.

Studies have shown that in both in vitro and in vivo cancer models, cannabinoids can effectively modulate tumor growth; this anti-tumor effect is dependent on both the cancer type and the dosage and concentration of the cannabinoids. The focus for current medical research is to develop specific protocols for treating particular cancers. 

At present what we know about cannabinoid treatment is underwritten by clinical research results, illustrated by individual treatment plans and the results from Synergy members' use of cannabis.

CBD for Skin Cancer

(A Testimonial by Eric B from San Rafael)

I had a growth between my nose and lip. It was almost 1/2 inch in diameter, sort of like a wart under the skin. The biopsy revealed it was cancerous Basil Cell Carcinoma. The doctors wanted to remove it surgically. I started applying a strong concentrated CO2 oil extraction of a 1:1 mixture of CBD:THC. I applied it twice a day topically for 3 months and then went for the operation to remove it.

The surgeon performed one extraction, like taking a slice of the growth. Upon examination of the slice, the biopsy showed everything was clear and cancer-free. That was incredibly good news. Sometimes they need to do 3-4 slices or more, especially if the cancer is large. The size of the first "slice" was determined by the original biopsy which was taken 3 months ago. The doctors did not look to see if the cancer was still active at the time of the surgery. In my mind, the CBD & THC definitely helped.

Moving forward, if another cancerous tumor is detected, I would just do cannabis therapy and not allow them to do a biopsy. That way, I could visually see if the cancer gets smaller with the cannabis oil. If it didn't get smaller over time, then I would allow the biopsy and surgery if necessary.

Going forward, I am using Synergy Salve every night all over my face as a preventative, because I had so much sun exposure when I was young. I don't want to have to go through this surgery again.

THE GARDENS OF THE KLAMATH MOUNTAINS

by Dharma Clement 

At Synergy Wellness the majority of our flowers come from a wonderful garden on the southern end of the Klamath Mountain Range, that overlooks the snow capped Marble Mountains at a 3,600 foot elevation, the local flora enjoys a particular micro climate of the Klamath River water basin. 

Some of the rocks that built these Klamath mountains traveled thousands of miles across the Pacific, often as chains of volcanic islands that were formed in the tropics. Today’s limestones and marbles in the range began as coral reefs. The land was repeatedly uplifted, folded, and sheared by faults that brought peridotite and serpentine from Earth’s mantle to the surface.
