Cannabis can cure cancer
Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana seeds, prevent tumors and destroy cancer cells. The U.S. government knows this more than 35 years, but the media are withhold to bring out this remedy. The U.S. war on drugs has been a war against their own country.
In 2003, a study published in Nature Reviews Cancer where an historic and detailed explanation is given of how THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and natural cannabinoids destroy cancer cells (but normal cells retain). Manuel Guzmán of Madrid found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana seeds can occur tumors. Reaction Paths of the tumor will be transformed so that the growth stops and the tumor cells die. In addition, the growth of blood vessels to the tumor stops too.
According to Dr. Ethan Russo, a neurologist and an authority in the field of medical cannabis (cannabis seeds), the Guzman study is very important. "Cancer occurs because cells become immortal, they no longer respond to signals to stop growing. Normally, cells die off on command. This process is called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The process does not work in tumors. THC stimulates apoptosis so that gliomas, leukemias and melanomas disappear. "
Cannabinoids may therefore be very well used against cancer. They are tolerated by the body and do not produce the toxic side effects of conventional chemotherapy. When there is a possible cure for cancer discovered, this would normally widely reported in the media. However, when it comes to marijuana leaves the mainstream media fails. News about the relationship between cannabis and the disappearance of tumors appeared in 1974. Researchers from the Medical College of Viriginia were funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana affects the immune system. Instead, they saw how THC slowed growth of three kinds of cancer in mice.
In 1974 The Washington Post reported the study. The newspaper added that the active ingredients in cannabis seeds supressed the reaction of the immune system that may cause the rejection of organs after a transplant.
Media blackout
After the discovery in Madrid this news was kept quiet in the United States. On 29 February 2000, information came out when MarijuanaNews.com editor Richard Cowan have complained that he could only find the article via a link that was shortly on the website of Drugde Report. "The New York Times, The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times all ignored the story, even though it is newsworthy: a benign substance that occurs naturally and destroys deadly brain tumors," added Cowan.
It's hard to believe that the healing effects of cannabis is suppressed for over 30 years and will probably not change. Why?
Because it is a threat to cannabis prohibition. There’s clear evidence that the suppression of medical cannabis has led to the failure of the institutions of a free society, the medical profession, journalism, science, and our fundamental values, says Cowan.
We can safely say that millions of lives could have been saved if there had been no ban on cannabis. Meanwhile, families spend all their savings on dangerous, toxic and expensive drugs.
