Cannabis and cancer

E-mail Print PDF

This documentary discusses more than cancer relief, but the information regarding cancer is worth highlighting.

Dr. Donald Tashkin, a professor of Pulmonary Medicine at UCLA, discusses the results of various studies:

The THC actually has an anti-tumor effect. And these are studies that are done, both in experimental animals and in cell culture systems, and for different kinds of cancer, for lung cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer..and brain cancer - the growth of the tumor is suppressed by THC, and metastasis is also suppressed.

    just the facts

    Marijuana has been a mainstay herb of choice for the human race over tens of thousands of years, possibly millions of years.
    Cannabis contains over 1500 different alkaloids, many of which have never been fully researched against the many diseases that plague humans, in and effort to realize any and all beneficial effects to be found. Unfortunately with the introduction of and alien culture over the last 110 years, the use of such a beneficial plant has been virtually outlawed globally to such an extent that in some countries anyone found to possess marijuana can receive the death penalty.

    It is truly time to stop the madness of the drug war along with the act of waging war on other people and begin and era of peace and self activation through total legalization of any and all herbal remedies that have and continue to benefit humankind in our new found age of high technology and revision of how clean we want our planet to become, for not only ourselves but for our children and their children, forever!
  • robert  - drugs for dopes
    l am aware of the medicinal advantage of grass,however there remains the spiritual damaged that is done to the etherical body.Thousands of years ago it was changed from a good drug into an evil one by dark energies that changed its root system.The continual use of the drug will tear rips in your aura,that are very difficult to repair if not at all.And you leave yourself open to dark forces that can enter and effect your mind and your life.lf you smoke,give it up if you can,life will be much better for you in the long run and because of a clearer mind you will be a lot happier.Have a pipe once a week after church and relax,and you will remain healthy,good luck.
  • Acharya S
    After church? Some might argue that churchgoing rips open your aura.

    Hemp is a "god-given" plant that has many purposes, including as a medicine.
  • Learned things the hard way  - our body adapts, requiring more for a similar high
    because it's illegal, I have often put myself at great risk and met some unsavoury characters in order to get my bud.
    We now have legal smoke from plant matter sprayed with a synthetic thc
    this cost s 20 bucks a gram, as opposed to 25 bucks for hydro.

    The other problem is the way our body adapts, requiring more for a similar high. Chasing the rush ends up with you being unable to achieve the sensation as your tissues are saturated with thc.
    Spend more money, with less tO show.

    The craving for a stone, is the only motivation that works to actually. Produce movement. ;-) once you are hooked.

    On the other hand, in moderation tis fine.
  • Catherine Sloan-Rhys
    I am on board with the moderate approach. As with many things..."less is more"!
  • David Bruno  - To much LSD for you !
    Instead of trying to put your own twisted theory of aura's, perhaps you should due the research on the medical benefits scientifically proven to work! My wife has MS and greatly benefits from not taking vicodin, perks, or morphine. I hope you never require this type of medical treatment, or maybe I do, so you better understand that aura's really have nothing to do with this subject!
  • one woman
    :s Poor Patrick S., the actor, I remember seeing him on TV (Oprah-??), where he just slammed alternative suggestions that he had received from many well-meaning fans who cared about him and others in similar predicaments. That's how powerful brainwashing can be....... Say, does anyone know what happened to the two sons of William Clark Quantrell's neice, Mrs Anderson. She lived in Cleveland, Oh for awhile at least, on Teideman Rd. , north of Brookpark Rd. She died in a county east of Cuyahoga County , and was buried with her husband, Lawrence-?, and some of his male siblings in the West Park Cemetery in Cleveland's west side. I believe Mrs. Anderson's name was Gertrude and her sons were/are, John and Lawrence Jr.(?). Don't know the parents of Mr. Anderson, but did notice that at least two of his brothers are buried at the same plot, but their graves are unmarked, unlike Mr. and Mrs. L. Anderson. On another note, don't know the fate of Gertrude's sister, Mrs. Crawford. Geterude's other 2 sisters were buried together in Tuscarawas County in a Cemetery other than where the parents of the 4 Quantrell sisters were put to rest. William Clark Quantrell (also, partially buried in 2 other states): HIS parents, M/M Benjamin Franklin Quantrell (parents of the above 4), and some others were buried at the same plot, some of which are unmarked graves.

  • eldon  - Missouri cannabis law in process
    Missourians are working on a pretty good cannabis freedom law, maybe the best in the US if enacted. Text provided in the link below, I just found out about this a few days ago, being the man-in-the-know that I am!~

Christ in Egypt

What people are saying about Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

"Your scholarship is relentless! ...the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration." —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock... I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations..." —Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com

"Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya's penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity. Those who espouse Christianity beware! After digesting the evidence, you will never again view your religion in the same light." —Dr. Robert M. Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

"Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

"In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results." —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson

"...I have found her scholarship, research, knowledge of the original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating." —Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX

"Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit." —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada

"The Christ Conspiracy—very, very scholarly and wholly researched—is a book for today..." Rev. B. Strauss, ex-Catholic Priest, Chicago, IL

"Amidst the global chaos of George Bush's War on Terror, largely founded on religious intolerance and simplistic notions of good and evil, Acharya S is the voice of reason." —Joan D'Arc, Paranoia

"D.M. Murdock could well be the most brilliant, insightful and rigorous theologian writing today." —Robert Tulip

"Acharya S is the ranking religious philosopher of our era." —John K.
