My mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in 2016 with no longer than a month to live 

We heard so much about cbd oil with nothing to lose she started taking it .at this point she had a driver fitted and didn't really know much 

My mum is still hear today no driver she doesn't take morphine on a daily basis she's on no medication if it wasn't for the cbd oil she would not be with us today.

    Hello Jacktroy04, 

    I am very pleased to hear your mum's condition has improved recently. 

    I just wanted to pop by and share this post which explains the difference between cannabis oil and hemp (CBD) oil.

    I also wanted to stress that it is really important for anyone considering using this product to let their GP or medical team know about it as taking these may impact on any conventional treatments. 

    Kind regards,

    Hi guys,

    doctors work with the information provided to them through research. As there have been no clinical trials to test whether CBD oil can cure cancer - they do not know if it does or not. Big Pharmo does most of the research - then develop (money-making) medicines to treat things. Did I say cure? no. Did I say 'treat'? yes.

     

    What I can tell you is there is enough people whose doctors cannot explain why they no longer have cancer that we know doctors do not know everything about cancer. They cannot explain why some people who take CBD oil no longer have cancer. My doctor said 'I have never seen this, it cannot happen'. 

     

    I strongly recommend you all to watch the new movie on netflix called 'Weed People' and inform yourself. Don't expect big phrama to come along and stop marketting their cancer medicines and treatments away (from which they make huge profits), because of a product widely available that might help....

    Hi Andy, I just wanted to respond to some of your points. You state that there are no clinical trials involving CBD. This isn't actually correct. Cancer Research UK has funded research into cannabinoids and we also support the only two UK clinical trials of cannabinoids for treating cancer, through our national network of Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres.

    There are many videos and anecdotes online claiming that people have been completely cured of cancer with cannabis, hemp/cannabis oil or other cannabis derivatives.

    Despite what these sources may claim, it’s impossible to tell whether these patients have been ‘cured’ by cannabis or not. There is usually no information about their medical diagnosis, stage of disease, what other cancer treatments they had, or the chemical make-up of their treatment. These sources also only publish the “success stories”, and don’t share how many people who used cannabis or its derivatives had no benefit, or worse, were potentially harmed.

    We’re supportive of properly conducted scientific research into cannabis and its derivatives that could benefit cancer patients. Many researchers are actively exploring this approach, and Cancer Research UK is supporting, and will continue to support, scientifically robust research into cannabis and cannabinoids that reaches the high-quality standards set by our funding committees.

    While we appreciate that this is just your opinion our terms and conditions do ask members to check their facts before posting. 

    Kind regards
