Cancer Oil for Cancer treatment - Advice needed

The reason for taking cannabis oil daily is to get the medicine up to therapeutic levels.  I wouldn't think, if it was just for a few days, he would have to start the regiment over completely but important he get right back on to it asap until his 60 mils are done.  This is according to everything I've read.  Perhaps add another week to the regiment just to make sure.

 

I suppose the question is why would he consider | need to abstain while in hospital? Is this the NHS? If so, I really would not be overly concerned. I am aware of patients whose oncologists are quietly advocating this course of treatment and giving it a thumbs up (off the record, however). In my case, my cancer is incurable, and I have not received any negative sentiment from anybody. After all, I'm doing this to save my life, and for no other reason. I'm not taking a drug, I'm taking a potentially life-saving medicine.


There are many closed oncology forums (e.g. Facebook) I am also aware of, where nurses and doctors are openly talking about medical cannabis oil in private, but obviously they cannot advocate this publicly given its legal status. You have to ask what's more important - taking the medicine and trying to put the cancer into remission, or hiding it from the hospital (who, for the most part, have the patients best interests at heart)? Unless they specifically test for this (they cannot test for things they do not have consent for) or had suspicions (perhaps he has keen munchies?), they are probably unlikely to know. I have taken up to 1.5g of high-THC medical cannabis oil a day (as a suppository - the only way people should really be ingesting it for cancer) with no real side-effects, and have continued work throughout (albeit not easy with the cancer), with nobody any the wiser. Not even a suspicion. I appreciate it's easy to become concerned about these things, and I'm not underplaying them. I've been there myself. The law is not currently on our side, and it can be worrying.


Two Macmillan nurses I also talked to on the phone some months' ago quietly supported this route, both saying they have heard positive stories and anecdotal evidence and essentially telling me to get on and try it. After all, I had no other alternative.


No withdrawal from coming off it, but I really would not recommend to stop taking it, no matter what people say. I have spoken to people with aggressive stage four cancers who had to increase their dose afterwards to get the same effect, as the treatment became resistant. Some people say hammer the oil, then come off it, then go back on it. This is a high-risk strategy to me and it's just not worth playing around here. Perhaps these are isolated cases of resistance, we just don't know, but it's not worth it in my view. Remember that he'll need a maintenance dose for the rest of his life, too (0.3g per day or thereabouts), to keep it at bay, and assuming he has success with remission. Fingers crossed for you. Hope he is doing OK.

Also remember that the 60g therapeutic dose is only a guide. It's based on arguably older information from Rick Simpson as one of the forefathers of this movement from 10+ years' ago. He might well need more for remission. I'm hitting 150g over 160 days given my diagnosis and prognosis.
