Hello, I’m currently a hobbyist grower and ER nurse. I have been researching extensively on the medical benefits of cannabis. I sincerely believe it will slow or stop the growth of many different cancers. I’m upset that it isn’t encouraged more by doctors or offered by doctors. I want to help. I can help you make RSO or make it for you, help you choose and grow plants, give you grow advice, grow for you. My assistance is free for cancer patients. I live south of Kalamazoo outside of the city. Yes it’s free. I want to help. I’m not rich but I will do whatever I can. Please contact poster via private message private email or other outside links not allowed in open forum . if you want to see some of what I do.

According to the new law passed by the Colorado government doctors can prescribe medical marijuana for patients suffering from cancer, HIV and AIDS, glaucoma, PTSD or other chronic medical condition that causes, nausea, severe pain, and seizures. The new law includes all medical conditions in which opioids could be recommended. https://www.myhealthyclick.com/colorado-passes-bill-that-allows-physicians-to-prescribe-medical-marijuana-rather-than-opioids/

This is an older post that I have shared on other sites, I decided to add it to my blog.. Since the software update on this website, many of the images in this blog entry have been lost. You can view the complete content of this blog and more here: http://cchub.org/Blogs/blogs.html The story of the Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer) patient begins in October 2011. This information needs to be shared. This information must be shared. A while back, I kept hearing about it, read about it, and also about other concentrates. With my experience in using cannabis, from Colombian Gold, Thai Stick, Strawberry Cough, to Querkle, finger hash, different types of medibles (brownies, butter, cookies, candy). I will say that the medibles never really impressed me, I am sure they work for others, but for me, they did nothing. I also found it hard to believe the testimonies on the Run From the Cure video, that cannabis, when used correctly, can cure illness and disease assist in pain management, getting off of highly addictive pain medication, and so on. I did not believe that any of the oil extracts could be as potent as people had said, especially the Rick Simpson Oil. Out of all the information and research, it seems to me that the Rick Simpson Oil was my best option for treating cancer patients. So I decided to give it a try and see for myself. I have many years of experience in growing high quality medical grade marijuana, indoor, 100% organic. It took some time, but I saved up a large quantity of premium bud and followed the Rick Simpson directions (my buds were much more manicured than the ones in his video). I used 9 oz of premium bud, bone dry. I soaked the bud material in 99% isopropyl alcohol, a bit longer than recommended though. I did the wash or soak in wide mouth court canning jars so I could see what was going on. When I got to the point of putting it on the coffee cup warmer it took about 6 to 8 hours before the oil stopped bubbling, telling me that the iso had all been evaporated out. I then sucked the oil up into 2 tsp sized syringes while it was still warm. After it cooled down, I sampled a dose the size of a grain of rice, and I couldn't believe it! It offered much more than any bud I have ever smoked. I was absolutely shocked. After trying it, it made me a believer that the people in the video were speaking the truth of the oil curing them of their pains and illnesses. I never had anything like it before in my life. My patients couldn't handle taking three doses a day, the size of a grain of rice. It was too strong. When taking three doses, it seems to build up in your system, and you can develop a tolerance. You must take three doses per day in order to build up a tolerance and keep it. For both of my patients, it took them each six weeks before they were capable of increasing the dose size. One of my patients has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer that develops in the lymph-nodes, he has been battling this disease for 12 years and had been receiving chemo treatments and was facing radiation treatment, but he chose to try the oil instead of more chemo or radiation. Normally he would have already been taking his annual holiday visit to the hospital for a 6 week term for another bout of chemo, but this time it would have been radiation because he was getting worse and the chemo was hurting his body. He has yet to have been admitted this year. His doctors have even commented that he would be back before Thanksgiving. Well Thanksgiving has come and gone, he is not in the hospital, he is at home with his family and feeling pretty darn good. I think he will even be home for Christmas and be able to ring in the New Year at home. I am not claiming it is going to cure him, but I do believe it is doing him better than what the doctors have offered him during the past 12 years. If anything, this oil has offered this patient much hope. I will be sure to update on his condition in the future. Another patient I have encountered has severe gout. He took only a few doses of the oil, and the gout literally disappeared from his knuckles. Three months later, without taking any more oil, the gout had not returned to his knuckles and the gout on the rest of his body is still visible, but the swelling was reduced a lot. If he went through the full treatment, I believe the gout would be completely gone. I would also like to note a warning when taking this concentrated oil. It is very potent! This is something that a user should start off with small doses. Just one dose a little bit bigger than a grain of rice, had me lying down for a couple hours, praying to God to bring me back down. Also, my patients and I, when taking the oil three times a day, have noticed when waking up with the first cup of coffee, before taking the morning dose, feel a little buzzed. I highly recommend to make your own oil. I have tried others and got nothing from it. Here is the batch of oil made with the 9 oz of product. It produced 8.5 teaspoons of the Simpson oil. If you ask me, Simpson oil is more efficient than smoking bud. It is not for everyone. One small dose of the oil has much longer lasting effects then any other marijuana products I have tried. The effects can last from 6 to 12 hours from one small dose. Here is a picture of 4 of the 9oz of bud, 4 different strains were used. This oil in the picture below was made more for using in a vaporizer. It is much more golden, but for ingesting, I think the darker oil has a higher medicinal value. I also believe that the more golden oil is higher in THC. The reason why this batch was more golden is because it was ultra high quality manicured, no leaf material what so ever, and the plants were intentionally nitrogen stressed before harvest, for a lower chlorophyll amount. When vaping the golden Simpson oil, the taste is incredible. The Eclipse Vaporizer shown in the pictures below is Made in California, USA. Price with shipping, under $100. I highly recommend this product for vaporizing oil. I do not recommend it for vaping bud. After making many batches of the Simpson oil, I would strongly recommend to use 1/4 lb. or more of indoor grown premium bud. Anything less could be wasteful in my opinion. Waste not want not: (Clean Up) After filling the syringes, there is still some oil left in the pan, metal cup, and on other tools. I clean them up with some fresh 99% isopropyl alcohol, pour it into a bowl, lay out some wax paper and use the back of a small spoon to coat some rolling papers, place the coated papers onto the wax paper. I usually coat each paper two to three times. Let the papers dry and evaporate the alcohol for a few hours. These make for some nice "gold plated" joints. ** (February 2012) update on Hodgkin's patient. He has recently reported to me that he is still using the Simpson Oil and has defied the doctors by not having to be in the hospital over the holidays, and a very prominent tumor is gone. He will be going in for a CAT scan soon. I can't wait to hear the results. Something to add: I am no longer making the oil to where it comes out black. Nothing against it except for the higher anxiety and bad taste. I am making it more golden from now on and I am only using the syringes to suck up the oil then transfer the oil from the syringe into small vials, like the ones that come with the eclipse vape. The vial holds about one teaspoon which is about 5 grams of oil, or 5 cc's. It is a lot more convenient for storage and to carry. Just use a toothpick to scrape out a dose. I would like to take back the original comment from above about the darker oil having more medicinal value and the golden oil being higher in TCH. I am really not sure, and I plan to have some samples of each tested soon. ** (April 2012) update: The cancer patient I spoke of has recently gone through a CAT scan. There are no tumors present!!! There was a tumor on his chest that was about the size of a baseball. It and the other tumors are completely gone! The only thing remaining is some scar tissue. He and I alike praise God for this wonderful medicine. Cannabis, an awesome plant, a gift given to us all from God. We should all thank Rick Simpson and the sacrifices he made to make the people aware of what God's plant can do. The patient has gained back the 40 pounds he lost. He looks healthier and better than I have ever seen. I am 100% confident and a true believer that the Rick Simpson Oil, when made and used correctly, can cure cancer. Now after 12 years of battling this disease, this patient is cancer free. We can only give our glory to God for this. Red Oil: This needs to be researched and studied; water soluble. The oil in the glass is frozen. I extracted with similar methods as the Rick Simpson procedure but using water. Again, this was after the initial extraction with alcohol, let the remaining material completely dry, then washed with water, filtered it, and then evaporated the water down to produce what is shown in the pictures below. Run From the Cure. In this video you can learn how to make your own oil. Here is another video worth watching in regards to the oil. You can find a lot more information at PhoenixTears. http://www.phoenixtears.ca/

http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/gran-cancer-who-used-cannabis-768651 Karen Roberts said: 'I was sent home to die but am pleased to say I am very much still here' By Cheryl Hague 14:17, 22 DEC 2017 UPDATED14:21, 22 DEC 2017 A grandmother of six diagnosed with terminal cancer and sent home from hospital to die is in remission after using cannabis oil - and is now looking forward to spending time with her family. Karen Roberts from Derby had aggressive lymph cancer and was told she was terminally ill just weeks before she lost her husband Garry to leukaemia in 2015. She said she was sent home by the hospital to die as they said there was nothing else they could do for her - staff even took all her medication away. But she has defied the medics' beliefs and after taking cannabis oil she saw her tumours shrink. That was two years ago and now she is remission and looking forward to spending more time with her six grandchildren. Karen Roberts when she worked at Asda in Sinfin before she was diagnosed with cancer The former charity fund-raiser at Asda in Sinfin said: "I should be dead now but am happy to say I am in remission and am having four monthly checks at the hospital." And she has her three children to thank for her new life as they persuaded her to take the oil after they read how it has been responsible for helping other cancer sufferers. The 58-year-old said: "I wasn't bothered at the time, Garry was dying and I was ready to go myself but my kids had read about the oil online and persuaded me to try it. That was two years ago I haven't looked back since. "I was sent home to die but am pleased to say I am very much still here and have gone on to see three grandchildren who I never thought I would see." The cannabis-based oil which has helped Karen in her cancer battle She said she has been inundated with people asking about how the oil helped her but warns it will not help everyone. She said: "I took it because I had no choice as all other options were closed to me - had I been offered medical help at the time such as a transplant or chemotherapy, I would have taken it and not used the oil. "I always tell people that their medicine is more important and you can't mix it with cannabis oil - you need to trust your doctor or consultant as they are the experts. "I asked my consultant last time: 'Why do you think I am here is it because of the oil?' He said he didn't know but that I could have been in remission at the time I was told I was terminal and there was a mix-up. We just don't know. "I am just glad I have been given another chance and can't wait to spend time with the family. They have offered me so much support it has been brilliant. "My main aim was to get back to work but now it looks like I may have to take early retirement as I am having problems with asthma." A cancer expert said cannabis-based drugs had showed “some promise” in tests. Karen said she ordered the substance online and it arrives in brown bottles at £40 a time. She uses just a few drops of the substance at any one time. A senior science communications officer at Cancer Research UK, said: “The only way to get scientific evidence that a treatment is effective is through clinical trials. “The limited results we have so far on using cannabinoid-based drugs as a cancer-fighting therapy show some promise – but we’re far from knowing for certain if these drugs benefit cancer patients, what types of cancer they may be effective against, or at what dose. “More research is needed, which is why we’re helping to support the only two trials of cannabinoid-based drugs taking place in the UK.” The oil has not yet been approved for use on the NHS - but is readily available to buy online as a food supplement - although it has been widely reported to help other conditions such as arthritis, depression, MS and other illnesses. Research into the health benefits of taking cannaboids - particularly for cancer - is currently being undertaken at St George's, University of London. Dr Wai Liu, senior research fellow at St George's, University of London, said: “Cannabidiol, which is just one element of the cannabis plant and one that does not have any psychoactive effect on people, has been shown to target communication signals that are malfunctioning in cancer cells. “It is thought that by correcting these signals we can enable cancer cells to essentially die rather than duplicate. So it may hold the key to understanding how to defeat cancer in some areas. “We at St George's, University of London, have shown how this can be done. Although our data has mainly been laboratory- based, we have a growing and large collection of testimony from patients using cannabidiol, usually in a cannabis oil type product, who report positive effects on their battle with this dreadful disease."

http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/grandmother-says-cancer-almost-gone-967552 Grandmother says cancer has almost gone after taking cannabis oil - now she wants the Government to act She is now calling on the Government to fund trials of cannabis oil on patients waiting for cancer treatment By Cheryl Hague 07:00, 25 DEC 2017 A grandmother who had a malignant tumour in her breast which measured 33mm says it has now almost gone after taking cannabis oil. Now Lin Coxon, of Willington, is sharing her story with the Government to see if they will fund a medical trial testing cannabis oil on patients while they are waiting for cancer treatment. Lin was diagnosed with the disease on June 28 at the Royal Derby Hospital. A scan revealed the size of the lump and found it had also invaded her nearby lymph nodes. She was told her treatment would involve eight rounds of chemotherapy followed by a lumpectomy and the removal of all the lymph nodes. This would then have to be followed by radiotherapy. But while waiting for her treatment to start in August the 69-year-old read how, in some cases, cannabis oil had been found to help treat cancer so she bought some and began taking it. Incredibly her last scan revealed the cancer has completely gone from her lymph nodes and the tumour is hardly visible. Grandmother Lin Coxon told how a cancerous tumour discovered in her breast has shrunk from 33mm to 7mm in just a few weeks purely by taking CANNABIS oil She said doctors at the hospital are fascinated by her case and are continuing to monitor her progress even though she isn’t going ahead with the chemotherapy as they originally suggested. Lin said: "I feel fantastic and can tell it has almost gone. Before it felt like a hard lump but after a few weeks of taking the oil it had shrunk so much I couldn't feel it. Now it's almost gone and, on the scan, you could see how the density has changed from something that looked solid where now the only bit that is left looks like a tiny bit of smoke. "I bought cannabis oil from a health shop in Ashbourne and decided to take a few drops - I didn't have anything to lose as I was waiting for my chemotherapy to start so thought I may as well give it a try. I am so glad I did. "The doctors are still monitoring me and said if it did come back I would have to have chemotherapy and of course I would but I just want to see how it goes now. "In fact at my last appointment the doctors said the tumour was so small they could to a lumpectomy to get it out - but I said let's just see how the oil works for a bit longer. "Since I spoke of my initial success with the oil in The Derby Telegraph in October I have been contacted by other people who have had similar positive experiences so I really think there is something in it. "I cannot say cannabis oil will work for anyone else but my experience would seem to show it is worth trying. I feel people have nothing to lose especially if they are waiting for chemotherapy. It may only help for some cancers - we won't know though until research takes place." Lin Coxon bought the cannabis oil in Ashbourne Now Lin, who is Southern Derbyshire MP Heather Wheeler's personal assistant, wants the Government to take notice of her case and she has written to Steve Brine MP who is the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and primary care asking about funding a trial in Derby which would allow patients diagnosed with cancer and waiting for treatment to take the oil in the meantime if they wanted to. Then the hospital could scan them before they had treatment to see if taking the oil has had any effect. She said: "I just think it has to be looked into further as more people could be helped without the need for medical intervention - and, if that is the case, it would also save the NHS a lot of money." The grandmother-of-ten, said she was inspired to try the cannabis oil after reading in The Derby Telegraph how it had helped Sinfin Asda worker Karen Roberts. She was sent home to die with terminal cancer but took the oil - and now two years later is in remission. Read her story here. Lin bought the oil, which is legal and sold minus the psychoactive component that causes a high, at a health shop in Ashbourne. It cost a £39 a bottle. She has a few drops each day and a bottle lasts her ten days. The oil has not yet been approved for use on the NHS - but is readily available to buy online as a food supplement - although it has been widely reported to help other conditions such as arthritis, depression and MS. Research into the health benefits of taking cannaboids - particularly for cancer - is currently being undertaken at St George's, University of London, and the medical experts there have been in contact with Lin. Dr Wai Liu, senior research fellow at St George's, University of London, said: “I was very interested to hear of Lin’s case. Cannabidiol, which is just one element of the cannabis plant and one that does not have any psychoactive effect on people, has been shown to target communication signals that are malfunctioning in cancer cells. “It is thought that, by correcting these signals, we can enable cancer cells to essentially die rather than duplicate.

Although our data has mainly been laboratory- based, we have a growing and large collection of testimony from patients using cannabidiol, usually in a cannabis oil type product, who report positive effects on their battle with this dreadful disease. "Lin's story is one that adds to this growing list and we wish her all the best in her treatment which should always be under the supervision of her doctors.”

Drug Maker Secures Patent on THC and CBD as Cancer Treatment A pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom, specializing in the research and development of pot-based drugs, recently obtained early approval on a patent covering two specific cannabinoids found in marijuana to be used as treatment for brain cancer. According to a press release, GW Pharmaceuticals will hold the patent rights to the two primary compounds found in marijuana, THC and CBD, for use as medicine for patients suffering from gliomas -- the most common form of malignant brain tumor. The United States Patent Office informed the drug company earlier last week, by way of Notice of Allowance, that a patent application filed several years ago was officially deemed a genuine invention and is now in its final stages of approval. GW Pharmaceuticals must now submit the appropriate fees before final approval for their cancer combatant patent is granted. Try saying that five time fast. “The subject patent specifically covers a method for treating glioma in a human using a combination of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) wherein the cannabinoids are in a ratio of from 1:1 to 1:20 (THC:CBD) with the intent to reduce cell viability, inhibit cell growth or reduce tumor volume,” according to a statement issued by the company. GW’s patent application was originally filed in 2009, which detailed the company’s invention of the “use of a combination of cannabinoids in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of cancer.” Yet, it is believed the verbiage was revised at some point, noting more specific information, including THC and CBD ratios and the fact that the treatment is used against brain cancer. Justin Gover, GW’s Executive Chief Officer, says that the company recently initiated its first wave of clinical trails to study glioma, a disease that accounts for nearly 50% of new brain cancer diagnoses in the United States each year. “The treatment of glioma is part of our exciting new orphan drug program which includes a number of therapeutic targets and demonstrates the flexibility of GW’s proprietary cannabinoid platform in treating a broad range of disease types.”

Cancer Patient Removed From Hospital After Using Medical Marijuana Angel Raich is a marijuana activist. She is also a cancer patient, suffering from a terminal inoperable brain tumor. Her condition is difficult– she suffers from severe headaches, pain, and frequent seizures. At 46 years old, Raich is coming to terms with the fact that she is reaching the end of her life. She has worked to ensure her life concludes with both dignity and purpose. Despite her desire to live peacefully for the rest of the time that she has left, Raich was removed from her hospital room at University of California San Francisco’s Parnassus campus on Monday for using medical marijuana. Ironically, UCSF is one of the leading teaching hospitals in the United States that researches marijuana’s benefits in treating both pain and cancer symptoms. While the details of the situation have not been fully released, it seems as though Raich was using a vaporizer to smoke marijuana at the Parnassus campus when someone who worked at the hospital told Raich that they would “call the feds” unless she stopped. Raich’s primary physician, Dr Frank Lucido of Berkley, CA, says that Raich needs to use marijuana every two hours that she is awake, and that denying her this medication amounts to “malpractice.” In a statement to the press, UCSF said that, “any particles from vapor and odor could have an impact on other patients and hospital employees. Under federal and state law, a physician is at legal risk related to any activity that could be construed as prescribing medical marijuana to a patient.” http://news.nuggetry.com/medical-marijuana/cancer-patient-removed-from-hospital-after-using-medical-marijuana/ Trix

Cancer Patient In Colorado Found Not Guilty On All Marijuana Charges Jul 02, 2012 A Leukemia patient in Colorado charged with the cultivation and distribution of marijuana has won an important court victory, not only for him, but for patients all over the state. Bob Crouse was found not guilty of all charges by a jury of his peers on Friday. The folks at the Cannabis Therapy Institute sent out an email alert this weekend, and it provides us with some background on the case. Crouse had been charged by El Paso County District Attorney Dan May of felony cultivation and distribution of marijuana. Crouse had been treating his leukemia with a preparation of cannabis called “Phoenix Tears”, developed by Canadian cancer patient Rick Simpson. http://phoenixtears.ca/ Blood tests showed that in the months when Crouse has been able to obtain and ingest a consistent supply of Phoenix Tears, his leukemia cell count has decreased by HALF since his original diagnosis in 2007. http://coconnect.me/...d-his-leukemia/ Crouse’s treatment required him to cultivate up to 75 plants at a time. At his trial, his physician testified that this was a reasonable number of plants for Bob to use to produce his treatment. The Colorado Constitution states that medical marijuana patients can have as much marijuana as medically necessary and that it is up to the patient to decide what that amount is. How heartless do you have to be to charge someone who is trying to save their own life with cannabis with a crime? If they had measurements for that type of thing, Dan May would be off the “heartless” charts. Are there no other pressing criminal issues in El Paso County, CO for Mr. May to deal with? Has crime ceased to exist in that county, so Mr. May is free to prosecute Leukemia patients for growing marijuana that is allowed under state law? Is it that hard just to leave sick people alone to choose what is best for themselves? http://the420times.c...ijuana-charges/ Trix
