Cannabinoids, High and Mighty Fight against Cancer
Cannabis has been used, at least ritually, for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. It is for this reason that many studies have researched the actual clinical uses the plant could possibly have. Being illegal in many countries, this has opened the door for synthetic cannabinoids, commonly associated as being the active ingredient in herbal blend, to be tested in similar studies. With rumors that cannabinoids can aid in the prevention of the spread of cancer, the reduction of tumor size, the prevention of cancer altogether, and even in the side effects of cancer treatment (i.e. nausea and vomiting), there is obviously much to test.
Luckily, many of these experiments have actually already taken place, although most results have been silenced, dismissed, or covered-up in in fear of the negative stigma associated with cannabis and marijuana. A publication in a 2005 issue of Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry asserted that “cannabinoids possess … anticancer activity and may possibly represent a new class of anti-cancer drugs that retard cancer growth and the metastatic spreading of cancer cells.” This study was published more than 30 years after a study at the Medical College of Virginia found that “cannabis inhibited malignant tumor cell growth in culture and in mice. The primary cannabinoid in marijuana, THC, also slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers, and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”
More specific, and more recent, studies have shown further benefits of cannabis and cannabinoids in battling the entire cancer spectrum. These studies are explained in great detail in the Cannabis and Cannabinoids PDQ on the National Cancer Institute official website. Cannabinoids, when tested on mice, have shown antitumor effects – they appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their “nontransformed counterparts and may even protect them from cell dealth.” Further research showed that cannabinoids are likely to “protect against colonic inflammation and thus it has been hypothesized that cannabinoids may be useful in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer.”
Nausea and vomiting, weight loss and anorexia, and general pain and discomfort are very common side effects of current cancer treatment. The National Cancer Institute’s Cannabis and Cannabinoids PDQ also goes into the treatment of these side effects. It has been found that cannabinoids not only reduce nausea and vomiting, but are actually “more effective than many conventional antiemetics.” It was found in two studies that THC significantly helped increase the appetite of cancer patients. Lastly, in terms of an analgesic, or the management of pain, two studies, one double-blind and one observational, have shown pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and “improved management of nausea, anxiety, and distress when compared to untreated patients.” Needless to say, the research of cannabis and cannabinoids offers hope to cancer patients and the future of cancer prevention studies.skyhiblend.com just wants to put out imformative info for people to read and see that its not all bad!!!
