Anti-smoking Ad: Smoking Causes Emphysema, Lung Cancer

http://www.nucleusinc.com Millions of people die each year from smoking. This 3D medical animation is part of an anti-smoking campaign ad, showing how smoking causes normal alveolar sacs to become enlarged and thinned over time from emphysema. Because the alveoli cannot contract, air is trapped in the lungs and the smoker cannot breathe out effectively.

Cancer Cure – Cannabis & Cannabinoids,by Robert Melamede,PhD

By koby On July 17, 2009 25 COMMENTs

*** Cannabinoids and tumor inhibition in the news again this week!:

http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v08/n076/a02.html

On this video filmed in 2006, Dr. Robert Melamede, Professor of Biology at the University of Colorado, explains how the body’s Endo-Cannabinoid system (and plant based Cannabinoids as suppliment) kills cancer cells and inhibits tumor growth.
Refering to 1974 U.S.government-sponsored study when THC was found to slow growth of cancer cells

http://projectcensored.org/publications/2001/22.html

and to recent research in Spain finding that THC stopped brain tumors in rats and protected surrounding nerve tissue, demonstrating neuroprotectant aspect of Cannabinoids.
PDF of Dr. Guzman’s research:

http://americanmarijuana.org/Guzman-Cancer.pdf

Refering to “Homeostatic Regulation” of several body systems by Cannabinoids, Dr. Melamede concludes that Cannabis is indeed a “Miracle Drug”, also recommending hemp oil as excellent source of EFAs the body needs to fight disease.
View Dr. Robert Melamede at 2004 Cannabis Therapeutics Conference:
“Holistic Biochemistry of Cannabinoids”

Dr. Guzman will be at the 2008 Cannabis Therapeutics Conference this April. More info:

How Cancer Rates in The United States Compare to The Rest of The Industrialist World?


Links please.

For Lung cancer the US ranks third highest.

Cancer rates for many cancers are declining in the US, and as treatments improve, cancer survivability is improving dramatically in the US.

When cancer specialists at Boston’s internationally renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute diagnosed Margie Levine with a deadly asbestos-related lung cancer, they predicted that she had only six months to live.

Cancer prognosis?


My mum recently passed away due to primary liver cancer. Unfortunately, i wasn’t at the hospital when they told her that she had liver cancer, she died within 2 months of being told. When I asked my sister if the doctor told my mum how long she had left, my sister said that the doctor didn’t, she said my mum asked but the doctor wouldn’t say, i think my sister is lying, surely if my mum wanted to know how long she had left, the doctor would have given her an estimate? What if she wanted to sort out financial affairs, funeral etc? What do people think? Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks
