slide 1: Cannabis May Kill Cancer Cells in Leukemia Patients
When the discussion of medical Marijuana takes place the advocates have pointed to the
effectiveness of cannabis in treating pain and epilepsy. So can CBD or hemp oil and other
products fight cancer
Effects on Leukemia
In the disease the person’s body produces excess white blood cells. These are abnormal and
don’t have the infection-fighting properties of the regular white blood cells. These leukemic
cells lack the infection-fighting features of the regular white blood cells.
When the bone marrow increases the white blood cell production in the bone marrow these
stop the other vital cellular activity which results in fewer cells that carry out their regular
functions e.g. blood clotting and supplying oxygen to the body. The medical condition
eventually reduces the ability of the body to fight dangerous infections.
Use of Cannabis in Leukemia Treatment
There are different kinds of cannabis treatment for Leukemia and the chosen way of remedy
depends on the severity of Leukemia the person has. Chemotherapy is the way ahead for acute
Leukemia which might have come out from nowhere. Chronic leukaemia on the other hand
may be treated with surgery or chemotherapy stem cell transplant and some other type of
therapies.
The latest research shows that cannabis has substantial benefits for Leukemia patients who are
undergoing chemotherapy. The study published that CBD and THC have proven anti-cancer
effects when they are taken on their own. But when these compounds are administered after
undergoing chemotherapy the cancerous cells are killed more efficiently.
slide 2: What Does The Research Means For Leukemia
Those who are not familiar with leukaemia may wonder why cannabis would be needed as the
chemotherapy kills the cancerous cells on its own. The chemo has the side effects that can
make the person miserable than cancer itself.
Some common side effects of chemotherapy are severe pain vomiting damage to nerves
sexual disorders and it also damages the vital organs. But these are just a small portion of the
side effects. The main benefit of the CBD hemp oil is that it can reduce the amount of
chemotherapy needed to get the same effects as higher chemo doses.
Finally
The cannabis treatment for Leukemia means lower doses of chemo are required and there are
fewer side effects. But the effects of THC or CBD are best when taken after the administration
of chemotherapy.
