Exocannabinoid treatment of cancers
Internet is rife with stories about winning the battle against cancer with the help of exocannabinoids.
What does the science say?
4 points how cannabis works against cancer compiled by herb.co
- Anti-proliferative - cannabis is against tumor growth
- Anti-metastatic - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity
- Anti-angiogenetic - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor
- Apoptotic - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves (apoptosis). Cannabinoids are however harmless to healthy cannabinoid receptor containing cells.
Additionally anecdotally true are
- Cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer
- Cannabis can help maintain a good appetite, chemo or no chemo.
