It’s hard to believe, but scientists have long claimed that marijuana strengthens the immune system and fights cancer.
Cannabis
Experiments on mice have shown that cannabis kills cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. Clinical studies of the effect of cannabis have never been conducted in people with skin cancer and other types of cancer.
People believe that this plant helped them cure cancer.
Expert says
“I have seen leukemia, lymphomas, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer and lung cancer treated with cannabis. I have seen its help with various forms of cancer, but I have also seen it end with no response at all,” says professor of biology Robert Melamed.
Cancer
It has been shown that marijuana reduces cancer symptoms – it eliminates pain, inflammation and nausea. The registry of the National Health Institute contains a sufficient number of scientific publications that confirm this.
The cannabinoids contained in marijuana attack cancer cells and force them to self-destruct, stop the growth of blood vessels supplying the cancer and increase the antiviral activity of the immune system.
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) play the most important role in cancer treatment.
THC and CBD directly kill cancer cells: they destroy the mitochondria in the cells, which blocks access to blood and nutrients. They die of starvation and lack of nutrients. CBD also inhibits an enzyme that causes more of the body’s defensive cells to act.
Other benefits
Cannabinoids also help regulate processes in the brain, the nervous, reproductive and cardiovascular systems, and metabolism. The antioxidant properties of cannabis can even slow the aging process.
Conclusion
Some experts recommend that patients who have undergone conventional treatments such as chemotherapy add cannabis to their list of medicines because it has a beneficial effect on the body – it is a healing and protective effect.
