CBD - Cancers New Nemesis
When cancer patients first learn of their diagnosis, they often experience fear, followed by anxiety, and then rage! “I don't have time for this bullshit”; “I've got a life to live”, and “what did I do to deserve this”, are all legitimate responses!
As they begin treatment, those feelings and thoughts are further exacerbated as their cancer disrupts even the simplest of routines. They may also struggle to deal with the side effects of cancer and its treatment; However, there is hope!
CBD is increasingly becoming one of the most promising solutions for cancer-related pain and its side effects in years. Aside from its pain-relieving capabilities, CBD may have a positive effect on anxiety, stress, nausea, depression, and the side effects of chemotherapy, and… one of the most promising reports on Cannabinoids is their ability to effectively modulate tumor growth!
Reassurance in Uncertain Times
One of the most significant developments in recent years has been the legalization of CBD and its potential benefit for cancer patients. Extensive clinical and pre-clinical research exists, which demonstrates CBD's effectiveness in managing not only pain but its ability to help navigate the myriad of physical and psychological complexities of this disease in a wonderful and amazing way!
Yet, despite CBD’s amazing potential, there are some individuals who remain hesitant about CBD, due to the misconception that it will get them high, or that it's unsafe and untested. The truth is, CBD is completely safe and 100%, non-psychoactive!
The anti-drug effort over the past several decades had always focused on the potential hazards of cannabis, (Marijuana) and CBD, while completely ignoring the medical benefits! Yes, there may be negative effects and potential hazards associated with marijuana use. And, even some minor issues with the use of CBD. However, these concerns must be balanced against the proven advantages that CBD possesses.
While a bit outdated today, these short YouTube videos continue to offer compelling proof of CBD's capacity to enhance the lives of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients but also to save some as well!

Cannabinoids in Cancer Treatment:
Cannabinoids are a large and important class of complex compounds that have a promising therapeutic potential for the treatment of variety of diseases, including cancer. In this review, we focused on studies that provided evidence for anticancer effects of plant-derived and synthetic cannabinoids and their potential mechanisms of action. Cannabinoids were able to effectively modulate tumor growth in different Vitro and in vivocancer models, however, these anticancer effects appear to be dependent on the cancer type and drug dose.
CBD May Reverse or Even Eliminate Tumor Growth
CBD has great potential to improve the lives of cancer patients both by alleviating the symptoms of pain, sleep disturbance, and anxiety, but also by synergistic activity with anti-cancer treatments to reverse or eliminate the growth of tumors causing these symptoms. Pre-clinical evidence in cell and mouse models supports the use of CBD as an anti-cancer therapy

Anti-Cancer Potential of Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Flavonoids Present in Cannabis
Cannabinoids display anticancer effects in several models by suppressing the proliferation, migration and/or invasion of cancer cells, as well as tumor angiogenesis.
However, the therapeutic use of cannabinoids is currently limited to the treatment of symptoms and pain associated with chemotherapy, while their potential use as cytotoxic drugs in chemotherapy still requires validation in patients. Along with cannabinoids, cannabis contains several other compounds that have also been shown to exert anti-tumorigenic actions. The potential anti-cancer effects of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, present in cannabis, are explored in this literature review.
