First let me first say this is something I find fascinating as I live an alternative lifestyle, and with that said the information here is composed of various online articles and resources I have personally studied, researched and reviewed for information and educational purposes only. I am not a medical expert in any way at all, however I strongly believe in the healing power of cannabis.
My journey towards better understanding the healing power of cannabis started over three years ago with a unfortunate heart attach at the age of 30. I have suffered with hereditary anxiety for most of my life and this apparently was the cause of excessive stress coupled with work stress and ect.. My heart attach was what they apparently called a "Stress induce arrhythmia" . This caused my heart to not pump properly, my heart rate to rise and my heart eventually exhausted itself.
For a year or so after my episode I was on many different prescription anti-anxiety medications and heart medication. I hated it, I cant explain how awful it made me feel! I took this one thing called 'Cylift' , it made my entire existance feel plastic and I lost my need for self preservation while taking prescription Urbanol. I decided to kick the prescription med's and rather chose to deal with the anxiety. Exercise always helps so that was the best solution I had for some time. While exercising helped for less frequent anxiety attacks, I would still need to deal with the occasional episode now and then.
One day while having a panic attach a friend handed me a joint and said "Don't think just smoke the thing, it will help you I promise!". I can remember thinking, I am busy dying and you are offering me pot!!!! Well I took a hit and the rest is history!
I am proud to say I have now with the use of medical cannabis, not been back to the dock for almost 2 years. I have made a 100% full recovery. Currently I run 5 km every morning after smoking a joint. Once a month I will do a 10 km just to see if I still got it!
Cannabis has also helped me study and educate myself. When I was a child I was considered hyper active with "ADHD" and would have much preferred controlled regulated cannabis as medicine rather that a DOUBLE DOSE of Ritalin every day.
Well enough about me let's continue....
Recently a elderly family friend told us he has pancreatic cancer, and as a user and grower myself I decided to see if it would be possible to help him medicate with cannabis extract. Obviously there is a lot to consider, strain, dosage and making the actual oil extract itself. With the use of some strategic keywords and a simple google search I ended on a site calledhttp://www.cureyourowncancer.org/ and found a good starting point for my research and a valuable resource I would like to share!
Today I would like to cover "How cannabis oil works to kill cancer cells", for me personally this is amazing because when I here "kill's cancer cells" I think possibly a cure? I believe we might be onto something and the world is catching on fast. This is my first step in my quest to understanding and a way to possibly help others. It's probably worth mentioning cannabis is illegal in my country but we are working hard busy fighting for medical legalization.
Bio-chemist Dennis Hill started off with a very interesting point, what keeps cancer cells alive?
Dennis explains, when THC connects to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site on the cancer cell, it causes an increase in ceramide synthesis which drives cell death. A normal healthy cell does not produce ceramide in the presence of THC, thus is not affected by the cannabinoid.

With all my research I am currently doing I have come to realize one of the most important factors of using cannabis effectively for cancer treatment is a regulated controlled dose, This is so important! Cannabis has many different medical properties and growing in a controlled environment is essential.
