CBD Oil and It's Role in Cancer Treatment

Since the mid-1970s medical scientists have known of the beneficial effects of cannabinoid compounds over cancerous cells. More recently there have been a growing number of papers published in scientific journals showing anti-tumor effects

in animals and on a cellular level.  It appears through these studies that the cannabinoid not only targets and kills cancer cells it does not affect or harm healthy, normal cells and may actually offer protection against cellular death.  As there has been no endorsement of these compounds as a cancer cure by the pharmaceutical companies and since there is no mainstream promotion not many people are aware of the benefits. CBD oil has none of the psychoactive properties of THC, the other component of the cannabis plant.  Some people have used THC oil and some have used a combination of CBD and THC oil in their treatments of various medical conditions. Although there have been stories of CBD oil having cured people’s cancer, since a cure means five years disease free, this cannot be substantiated as no one has been using it for that length of time.  The internet; however, abounds with stories from people claiming their cancer has been cured.  Some doctors don’t want to outright dismiss these stories they are just saying that more extensive studies need to be conducted.

One of the more interesting study findings recently has been researchers reporting that CBD acts as a more potent inhibitor of cancer cell growth than other cannabinoids, including THC, and noting that the compound is particularly good in halting the spread of breast cancer cells by triggering cell death.

Other potentially treatable cancers that have been shown to respond well to CBD oil extract are some forms of leukemia, lung, ovarian and brain cancers. -www.cbdhempoilproductbenefits.com
