Question in relation to cancer..

    My dad was recently diagnosed with brain cancer and he has just started his radiation and chemo treatments. When I driving home from the hospital the night we all found out, the first thing that came to my mind was "when, not if, can I cure my dad of this?" He is a strong man, and his recovery has been phenomenal.

    Anyway, I'm well aware that cannabis and DCA have been proven to stunt cancer growth and even starve it to death in some cases, but do not know where to go with this. This is something I would love to "prescribe" to my dad but don't know how he would take it, considering his hatred for the plant. But, he's not an idiot. Him and I have talked for hours about numerous methods of fighting his cancer, but not once has be brought up cannabis or DCA. It's obvious he's done his research and probably read up on cannabis curing cancer, but probably doesn't believe it or is scared because it's illegal.

    My question is this: Is there anyone on GC who is using cannabis or DCA to cure cancer or knows someone who is/has done it? Any help is appreciated.

    Currently, he is on a strict all organic, vegetarian diet with no glucose. He eats flaxseed oil several times a day and juices carrots almost 10 times a day. He also stays away from his cell phone, because we all believe the cell phone is what caused his cancer. I'm very happy that he's taking this on with full force, but part of me believes this may not be enough to fully cure him.

    A place to start is flax seed vs hemp seed! Legal and non-psychedelic! Hemp as a better balance of Omega3 to Omega 6 than flax! :hello:

    Please look at using hash oil orally (Rick Simpson Oil). I have a patient with a brain tumor that was sent to palliative care (end of the line) with maybe a week left. It is six months later. He is eating, sleeping, and able to joke with his family. He has gained 20 lbs. and is feeling much better. There is no doubt in my mind he would not be with us if not for this treatment.

    There are other patients with cancer that are undergoing chemo and taking the oil. One is young guy who relapsed. This was his second time undergoing cancer treatment in his life. He feels that the hash oil has made a huge difference. He is able to eat, get adequate pain control without narcotics, and handle his nausea without more pharmaceuticals. He says the oil has allowed him to feel more like a normal person even though he is undergoing chemo therapy.

    Here is a link to a thread that another GC user made. He is making the oil for his fiance.

    Good luck. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
