Breakthrough Discovered in Medical Marijuana Cancer Treatment

Researchers learned that cannabinoids have been associated with anti-carcinogenic effects, which are responsible in preventing or delaying the development of cancer.
A new study reveals that Medical Marijuana can be an effective treatment for cancer, that is the word announced by doctors in Germany who concluded that this clarification of the mechanism of cannabinoid action may help investigators to further explore their therapeutic benefit.
The medical article was originally published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute Advance Access and online on December 25th 2007.
Cancer cells that were treated with combinations of cannabinoids, antagonists of cannabinoid receptors, and small interfering ribo nucleic acid or 'siRNA' to tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) were assessed for invasiveness, protein expression, and activation of signal transduction pathways.
The biggest contribution of this breakthrough discovery, is that the expression of TIMP-1 was shown to be stimulated by cannabinoid receptor activation and to mediate the anti-invasive effect of cannabinoids.
In other words, they learned that treatment with cannabinoids, one of the active ingredients of the medicinal side of marijuana, has been shown to reduce the invasiveness of cancer cells. Prior to now the cellular mechanisms underlying this effect were unclear and the relevance of the findings to the behavior of tumor cells in vivo remains to be determined.
It is already known that marijuana can stimulate the appetite of patients, but researchers have learned that cannabinoids, in addition to having palliative benefits in cancer therapy, have been associated with anti-carcinogenic effects, which are responsible in preventing or delaying the development of cancer.
"Although the anti-proliferative activities of cannabinoids have been intensively investigated, little is known about their effects on tumor invasion," the article stated.

Cannabis doing a fabulous job. There is also another thing that can practicually cure breast cancer. It's safe, natural, and very simple. Linseed oil or flax seed oil. They did tests by giving women one muffin a day with flax seed oil in it and it reduced or eliminated cancer in the patients that got the linseed/flax oil.

So easy to just add to a pasta dish, I wrote in another thread I love olive oil, which I must say has quite a few views. Any way maybe mix Olive oil and Linseed oil or flax seed oil, and cook with that. |

Yup...great idea. Can't hurt to add something like that to the diet. Probably help with digestion too as most NATURAL oils do.
