There is a clinic in Mexico called, "Oasis of Hope" that I have heard many good things about. They have a website as well. Good luck to you!

where was that clinic, I believe in Mexico that had success with this type of illness?

Thank you so much,

Subject: Cancer and THC

Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74

Cushing, AlterNetMay 31, 2000Viewed on June 6, 2000

------------------------------------------------------------------- The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February when researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain cancer tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.

The Madrid study marks only the second time that THC has been administered to tumor-bearing animals; the first was a Virginia investigation 26 years ago. In both studies, the THC shrank or destroyed tumors in a majority of the test subjects.

Most Americans don't know anything about the Madrid discovery. Virtually no U.S. newspapers carried the story, which ran only once on the AP and UPI news wires, on Feb. 29.

The ominous part is that this isn't the first time scientists have discovered that THC shrinks tumors. In 1974 researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice -- lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia.

The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research, according to Jack Herer, who reports on the events in his book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes." In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out -- unsuccessfully -- to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the "high."

The Madrid researchers reported in the March issue of "Nature Medicine" that they injected the brains of 45 rats with cancer cells, producing tumors whose presence they confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the 12th day they injected 15 of the rats with THC and 15 with Win-55,212-2 a synthetic compound similar to THC.

"All the rats left untreated uniformly died 12-18 days after glioma (brain cancer) cell inoculation ... Cannabinoid (THC)-treated rats survived significantly longer than control rats. THC administration was ineffective in three rats, which died by days 16-18. Nine of the THC-treated rats surpassed the time of death of untreated rats, and survived up to 19-35 days. Moreover, the tumor was completely eradicated in three of the treated rats." The rats treated with Win-55,212-2 showed similar results.

The Spanish researchers, led by Dr. Guzman of Complutense University, also irrigated healthy rats' brains with large doses of THC for seven days, to test for harmful biochemical or neurological effects. They found none.

"Careful MRI analysis of all those tumor-free rats showed no sign of damage related to necrosis, edema, infection or trauma ... We also examined other potential side effects of cannabinoid administration. In both tumor-free and tumor-bearing rats, cannabinoid administration induced no substantial change in behavioral parameters such as motor coordination or physical activity. Food and water intake as well as body weight gain were unaffected during and after cannabinoid delivery. Likewise, the general hematological profiles of cannabinoid-treated rats were normal. Thus, neither biochemical parameters nor markers of tissue damage changed substantially during the 7-day delivery period or for at least 2 months after cannabinoid treatment ended."

Guzman's investigation is the only time since the 1974 Virginia study that THC has been administered to live tumor-bearing animals. (The Spanish researchers cite a 1998 study in which cannabinoids inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, but that was a "petri dish" experiment that didn't involve live subjects.)

In an email interview for this story, the Madrid researcher said he had heard of the Virginia study, but had never been able to locate literature on it. Hence, the Nature Medicine article characterizes the new study as the first on tumor-laden animals and doesn't cite the 1974 Virginia investigation.

"I am aware of the existence of that research. In fact I have attempted many times to obtain the journal article on the original investigation by these people, but it has proven impossible." Guzman said.

In 1983 the Reagan/Bush Administration tried to persuade American universities and researchers to destroy all 1966-76 cannabis research work, including compendiums in libraries, reports Jack Herer, who states, "We know that large amounts of information have since disappeared."

Guzman provided the title of the work -- "Antineoplastic activity of cannabinoids," an article in a 1975 Journal of the National Cancer Institute -- and this writer obtained a copy at the UC medical school library in and faxed it to Madrid.

The summary of the Virginia study begins, " lung adenocarcinoma growth was retarded by the oral administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN)" -- two types of cannabinoids, a family of active components in marijuana. "Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size."

The 1975 journal article doesn't mention breast cancer tumors, which featured in the only newspaper story ever to appear about the 1974 study -- in the Local section of the Washington Post on August 18, 1974. Under the headline, "Cancer Curb Is Studied," it read in part:

"The active chemical agent in marijuana curbs the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice and may also suppress the immunity reaction that causes rejection of organ transplants, a Medical College of Virginia team has discovered." The researchers "found that THC 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."

Guzman, writing from Madrid, was eloquent in his response after this writer faxed him the clipping from the Washington Post of a quarter century ago. In translation, he wrote:

"It is extremely interesting to me, the hope that the project seemed to awaken at that moment, and the sad evolution (lastimosa evolucion) of events during the years following the discovery, until now we once again Œdraw back the veil' over the anti-tumoral power of THC, twenty-five years later. Unfortunately, the world bumps along between such moments of hope and long periods of intellectual castration."

News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in this country. The news broke quietly on Feb. 29 with a story that ran once on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article. This writer stumbled on it through a link that appeared briefly on the Drudge Report web page. The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times all ignored the story, even though its newsworthiness is indisputable: a benign substance occurring in nature destroys deadly brain tumors.

Hi

I wrote here a while ago about my father having cancerous brain tumor. He isnt

doing well at all. Has had radiation 2x's.His balance is getting worse by the

day and falls 1 or 2 times aweek. His walking is like baby steps. He isnt eating

much now.Dad still says that he is in no pain of any kind. It is so sad to see

him deteriorating day by day.

I was reading on the internet about a 58 yr old man who like my father had

cancer of the brain.He also had cancer of the blood and was given 6 to 10 months

to live.At this point he also couldnt walk.

He immediately started take MSM (organic sulphur),an increasing dosage of Oxy

E,changing his diet to an alkaline based diet and drinking lots of water

everyday.Within 2 wks, the results were phenominal for him.

I would love nothing more than to have my dad have a success story like this man

did. Can anyone give me some imput on MSM,Oxy E, has anyone had success using

this or knows someone that has.I know sometimes one cant believe what they read

on the internet.

My Husband has Lung Cancer and not a brain tumor so I am not answering your

question exactly as you would like. BUT there are so many alternative

treatments that people are using but not everything works for everyone. Each

person is different and even if the cancer is the same type it manifests itself

differently in different people. So if you want to learn about alternative

treatments you need to do your own research. Some good sites that are full of

useful information are:

www.cancertutor.com

http://www.caring4cancer.com/

http://curezone.com/diseases/cancer/faq.htm

http://www.americancanceradvocates.com/American_Cancer_Advocates.html

There are also many cancer support groups on the internet where people share

information so if you are willing to do the research you will find the answers

that seem best suited for your particular situation.

[Guest guest]

I've only ever heard good about MSM, and have read of a number of

orthodox treatments that don't involve radiation or chemo. Plenty of

minerals besides sulphur could only be positive, one would expect, which

could be drunk if he isn't doing much eating. Kind of a water cure.

When one looks at a list of natural mineral water, there are things

there that one could duplicate, including bicarbonate of soda. Borax.

Magnesium.

Vegetable juices when he is able - more minerals there too. Support

kidneys, perhaps with appropriate herbal teas. Clear colon, perhaps with

magesium, vitamin C, herbs. Simplest for now, while researching the

more advanced methods people here talk about.

Who are you?????

I've looked into your mushrooms before. Can anyone enlighten us on who this

I am so sorry to hear what you and your sons have gone and are going through. I

don't have much to offer on the topic except that when I lived in South Carolina

my friend and co-worker was dealing with her husband and his brain tumors. He

and his group had worked on cleaning off machines in the Gulf War and at that

time I think it was 9 of the 15 had died and the ones that hadn't had all dealt

with brain tumors. While I worked with her he went through 3 different surgeries

removing parts of his brain. While no official recognition was given by the

military, the loved ones of those men thought they were exposed to something on

the equipment.

Also, I have read and heard about all of the shots those in the military are

given and the harmful effects they can have. Maybe some heavy metal

detoxification and chelation therapy would be beneficial along with whatever

else you are pursuing. I have also read about hydrogen peroxide being used to

shrink tumors and other things, if it is cancerous here is an informative

website of options:

http://cancertutor.com/

My last thought would be to continue to do what you are doing and be his

advocate...have someone there at every meeting to speak and listen and be by his

side.

I recently read this book: http://www.doctoryourself.com/realstory.html

I think it talked about cancer therapy quite a bit.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi166.html

An interesting chart near the bottom: Effects of antioxidants on cancer.

I heard about the book here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi144.html

" ... using a special liposomal form of oral-dose vitamin C, researchers in

Britain demonstrated it is possible to achieve cancer-killing blood

concentrations of this vitamin without undesirable side effects. "

I'm now trying out the Livon Labs vitamin C. It contains a substance derived

from soy lecithin ... I'd be interested in people's opinions about how dumb I am

for eating that. ;-)
