The THC in cannabis causes apoptosis (cell death) and also provides antioxidants for cellular health.
Despite its controversy, full extract cannabis oil (FECO) is one of the most powerful natural substances when it comes to improving your health and the reversal of cancer. Therefore, it is very important to incorporate this key into any solid cancer protocol. Knowledge of this plant medicine has been known for centuries by indigenous American, Asian, and African people, yet only in recent times has this knowledge been rediscovered. Nonetheless, stories of anointed healing oils have been told for thousands of years, and evidence of its use in ancient times has been found more in recent times.
Even though natural health practitioners have been using this oil for many years to reverse cancer, the official rediscovery of its potential was research conducted in 1974 funded by the National Institute of Health. Researchers were tasked with finding evidence that cannabis damages the immune system, but instead found that THC, a substance found in cannabis oil, slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice — lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia. The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research, and very few additional studies have been undertaken up until very recently.
