How Cannabis Oil Helps with Cancer Treatment and Kills Cancer Cells?

A cancer survivor native, [name concealed due to privacy], from British Columbia has a story that most people cannot imagine. In May 2007, the patient had a heart attack and afterward a double bypass surgery. As a result of the surgery, she experienced chronic pain from a maligned sternum and post-sternotomy neuralgia syndrome. The patient constantly took pain killers to try to ease the pain, but nothing seemed to work.

Cannabis oil is a thick, sticky substance composed of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which is obtained from cannabis flowers using a solvent extraction procedure. It is the most concentrated form of cannabis products, which makes cannabis oil the most powerful. The oil can be vaporized into the lungs, ingested orally, applied topically or used as a suppository. It can also be mixed with creams or salves for beauty treatments, and other external uses.

Every person’s body has cells. Certain cells multiply and divide to create new tissue, while others (such as nerve or muscle cells) do neither function. The body also contains specific genes called oncogenes that control a cell’s ability to grow and divide. On the other hand, there are genes called tumour suppression genes that signal to cells to stop growing.

When cancer occurs, the oncogenes are ‘turned on’ when they should not be or the tumour suppression genes are ‘turned off’ when they are not supposed to be. This occurrence results in the excess growth of cells in the form of tumours.

The reason the cancer cell dies is not because of the cytotoxic chemicals, but because there of a small shift in the mitochondria. The purpose of the mitochondria within a cell is to produce energy for the cell to use. As the ceramide is produced, it turns up the sphingolipid rheostat. This production increases the mitochondrial membrane permeability to cytochrome c, which is vital protein in energy synthesis. The cytochrome c is then pushed out of the mitochondria, which ultimately kills the source of energy for that particular cell.

Cannabis oil can help you if you are a cancer patient who does not take “we have done all we can do” to heart, but instead looks for an alternate method. Or maybe you aren’t convinced that Western medicine practices are right for you. With safe, high quality cannabis oil, you are providing yourself with improvements in your well-being and your standard of living in regards to pain management. As mentioned above, there are numerous diseases and conditions that can be treated using cannabis oil. It is ultimately up to the patient to make the decision what route he or she wants to make: Western practices, alternative methods or a combination of both, like the Cancer patient did by undergoing surgery and then deciding the cannabis oil route was for her. And look at where she ended up.
