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. It's ava...

The Extraordinary Properties of Rick Simpson Oil

In 2008, RSO creator Rick Simpson revealed a documentary entitled Run From The Cure, which recounted his experience and discovery of how cannabis could treat cancer with concentrated cannabis oil (aka RSO). Since then, many Cannabis oil patients have used the oil to treat cancer. It is all anecdotes, and anecdotes are not science, but due to the hostility of the U.S. government by making it illegal to do research on cannabis, a scientific inquiry into the purported cancer curative potential of cannabis has never been undertaken. Nevertheless, there is a peer-reviewed scientific study recommending that cannabis be an effective anti-cancer agent. Published in the Journal of Cannabis Research 2004 by Dr Manuel Guzman of the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain, he found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inhibited the development of brain tumours in laboratory mice. Additionally, in 2006, Dr. Donald Tashkin from the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los...

Vegetarian Diet and It's Effects

This type of cancer is normally affects women as the name suggests,it attacks the female reproductive tract specifically the cervix which is the neck of the  uterus;the bridge between the birth canal (vagina) and the uterus. Studies have linked cervical cancer to HPV(Human papilloma virus), a sexually disease infection. The HPV is normally transmitted from men who are largely unaffected(they are carriers)during unprotected sex. The disease takes time to grow and when it happens, the cells of the cervix grow abnormally and invade other tissues and organs of the body. When it is invasive,the disease affects the deeper tissue of the body like the vagina,lungs,liver,bladder and rectum. Cervical cancer is slow in progression at its early stages and as such,it is possible to prevent if detected early and treatment commenced immediately . A majority of the patients diagnosed with precancerous changes in the cervix are in their 20s and 30s while the average age of women when they are d...
