Cannabinoids Destroy Leukemia Cells, New Study Finds


cannabinoids destroy leukemia

New analysis from the University of London recommends compounds in marijuana could be used to fight leukaemia.

Written online in Anticancer Research, specialists at the Department of Oncology at St. George’s, University of London investigated six different cannabinoids and found each to have anti-cancer action on leukaemia cells.

Lead author Wai Liu, PhD described the results of the latest research in Monday’s press release.
“These factors are able to interfere with the growth of cancerous cells, preventing them in their tracks and stopping them from growing. In some cases, by using specific dosage patterns, they can destroy cancer cells on their own.”

The investigators were able to replicate previous conclusions on the anti-cancer effects of THC – the composite in marijuana responsible for the high.
Nevertheless, in the latest research, Dr Liu’s team chose to focus on cannabinoids that required psychoactive activity, including cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidivarin (CBGV).

“This research is a significant step in unpicking the mysteries of cannabis as a source of medicine. The cannabinoids examined have tokenish, if any, hallucinogenic side effects, and their properties as anti-cancer agents are promising.”

The non-psychoactive cannabinoids were shown to inhibit the growth of leukaemia cells at all stages of the cell cycle. Interestingly, the team perceived even greater effects when different cannabinoids were administered together.

Dr Liu says drugs obtained from cannabis are much cheaper to produce than traditional cancer therapies. He conjointly thinks they may be combined with existing treatments to boost their effects.
“Used together with existing treatment, we could discover some highly effective strategies for tackling cancer. Significantly, these composites are inexpensive to produce and making better use of their unique properties could result in much more cost effective anti-cancer drugs in future.”
Dr Liu’s next study can examine the potential of cannabinoids once combined with existing
treatments in addition as totally different treatment schedules that might maximize their anti-cancer activity.

The research was written ahead of print and obtained funding from GW Pharmaceuticals

Why Medical Marijuana and why now?

  More states are passing laws that allow people to use medical marijuana. So what does it treat, and who can and should use it? Pain is the main reason people ask for a prescription, says Barth Wilsey, MD, a pain medicine specialist at the University of California Davis Medical Center. It could be from headaches, a disease like cancer, or a long-term condition, like glaucoma or nerve pain. If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and your doctor thinks it would help, you’ll get a “marijuana card.” You will be put on a list that allows you to buy marijuana from an authorized seller, called a dispensary. Doctors also may prescribe medical marijuana to treat: Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis Nausea from cancer chemotherapy Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain Seizure disorders Crohn's disease The FDA has also approved THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, to treat nausea and improve appetite.

Everything You Need to Know about Rick Simpson Oil

  Rick Simspsons oil is now available .  For over a decade now, Canadian medical marijuana activist Rick Simpson has been educating people about the incredible healing potential of cannabis oil. In 2003, Simpson discovered three suspicious spots on his face and neck and was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer . When surgery didn’t work, he decided to explore an alternate route; using the same extracted cannabis oil he’d been making and taking orally for over a year on his newly discovered cancer. Simpson had been treating some health conditions from a previous injury with his cannabis oil when he recalled a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute stating that THC was found to kill cancer in mice . So, Simpson proceeded to apply the oil topically to the cancerous spots on his neck and face and covered them with bandages. In just four days, the skin underneath was healthy and pink. He was healing. Excited that he had disc...
