    Striking CT scan shows how ‘lung cancer patient’s tumours SHRANK within three months of him taking daily drops of cannabis-derived oil’

    • The 81-year-old, who hasn’t been identified, repeatedly refused chemotherapy 
    • Instead, the ex-smoker opted to take CBD oil for two months to tackle his cancer
    • Doctors have now published stunning pictures showing how it helped him 
    • The tale has been published in a medical journal by doctors in Stoke-on-Trent

    A cancer patient who accepted the disease would kill him saw his tumours shrink – by taking drops of cannabidiol (CBD) oil each day.

    The 81-year-old, who hasn’t been identified, repeatedly refused chemotherapy and other treatments to prolong his life.

    Instead, the ex-smoker, believed to be from the Stoke-on-Trent area, opted to take CBD oil for three months to tackle his lung cancer.

    Doctors have now published stunning scans, showing how doing so halved the size of his tumours and reversed the progression of his disease.

    The tale has been published in a medical journal, where doctors claimed ‘CBD may have had a role in the striking response’.

    However, experts have warned this is just one case. Claims that cannabis or any of its derived compounds could have any helpful impact on cancer are unproven.

    Instead, the ex-smoker, believed to be from the Stoke-on-Trent area, opted to take CBD oil for two months to tackle his lung cancer (pictured, a scan of his cancer in November 2017)

    CBD – which doesn’t cause a ‘high’ – is an extract of the cannabis plant. It is legal in the UK and can be sold on the high street.

    The anti-inflammatory compound is already backed for its plethora of benefits by the World Health Organization.

    However, the latest case report offers hope it could tackle certain forms of cancer, as well as combating pain, epilepsy and anxiety.

    Doctors at the Royal Stoke University Hospital treated the patient, who already survived a shave with prostate cancer 15 years ago.

    They pointed to an array of promising research which has suggested CBD may have the power to slow the growth of some tumours.

    Scientists believe CBD produces oxygenated chemicals in the body which may cause cancerous cells to kill themselves.

    Though, several other pathways have also been suggested – including stopping the tumour from recruiting cells that help them grow.

    Ian Hamilton, a drug researcher at the University of York, who did not treat the patient, told MailOnline the case report was ‘important’.

    He said: ‘This single case study adds to several that offer some promise in the use of CBD products in the treatment of cancer.

    But, in a bizarre twist of events, a CT scan in November 2017 (pictured) revealed the ‘near total resolution’ of the mass to just 1.3 by 0.6cm

    ‘I think there is real potential with CBD but there is also a lot of false hope being given. This kind of case study is important but is unlikely to change medical practice.

    ‘It will need a larger randomised control trial, which would help distinguish how much is down to the placebo effect.’

    The patient had already been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – a debilitating lung condition that causes breathlessness.

    As well as having COPD, he also used to smoke around 20 cigarettes a day when he was in his 20s and 30s. Both are risk factors for lung cancer.

    The man was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in October 2016, after going to his GP complaining that his breathlessness was getting worse.

    Scans showed a shadow in his left lung, which turned out to be a 2.5 by 2.5cm cancerous tumour. The disease had also spread to his lymph nodes.

    Lung adenocarcinoma is a form of non-small cell lung cancer, accounting for around 80 per cent of cases in the UK.

    Around 44,500 people are diagnosed with lung cancer as a whole every year in the UK. The figure is around 260,000 in the US.

    Only 15 per cent of patients with an adenocarcinoma of the lung survive for five years, according to statistics.

    Doctors at Royal Stoke University Hospital then offered him chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the hope of prolonging his life.

    However, he declined treatment because of his age as he did not want to suffer adverse side effects in the final years of his life.

    A CT scan conducted at the hospital in December 2016 revealed the lung mass had increased in size, measuring 2.7 × 2.8 cm.

    He was once again offered treatment – but declined, lead author Dr Josep Sulé-Suso wrote in SAGE Open Medical Case Reports.

    Another chest X-ray in July 2017 showed his disease was slowly progressing.

    But, in a bizarre twist of events, a CT scan in November revealed the ‘near-total resolution’ of the mass to just 1.3 by 0.6cm.

    Dr Sulé-Suso and colleagues also spotted a ‘significant reduction’ in the size and number of mediastinal lymph nodes.

    Doctors then asked the patient about his lifestyle, in order to understand what may have prompted the dramatic effect on his cancer.

    He revealed he had started taking CBD oil in September – just two months before the scan showed his tumour had halved in size.

    At first, he consumed two drops twice daily for a week, before bolstering his dose to nine drops twice a day until the end of September.

    The patient gave up taking the oil a week after his positive CT scan in November because he ‘didn’t like the taste and felt sick’.

    No other changes in diet, medication or lifestyle were noted, leading the medics to believe CBD oil was the key driver in the shrinking tumour.

    Dr Sulé-Suso and colleagues did not reveal the man’s condition now, or if he ever started taking CBD oil again.

    The oil he was taking contained 200mg of CBD in every 10ml.

    What Exactly Is CBD Oil & How Can It Fight Anxiety?

    You’re seeing it in supplements, beauty products, and even chocolate bars, but what the heck is CBD oil, and could it help with anxiety, so what is all the fuss about? You know it has something to do with marijuana, so is the wellness world just a bunch of potheads? Well, not exactly.

    The basics of CBD oil: hemp vs. marijuana.

    CBD is short for cannabidiol, a cannabinoid compound that is found in hemp and marijuana. Both hemp and marijuana are part of the plant family known as Cannabis. The main difference between marijuana and hemp is the level of THC in each. THC, like CBD, is a cannabinoid compound. There are 60 different known cannabinoids, but THC is the most well-known—the Beyoncé of cannabinoids if you will. The reason THC is so famous is that it’s associated with the psychoactive high that people experience after smoking or ingesting weed.

    The definitions of hemp and marijuana can get pretty confusing, but for basic purposes, marijuana contains high levels of THC, and hemp contains low levels of THC. The ratios of CBD to THC in hemp oil can vary, depending on the product and the specific plant the oil was extracted from. CBD oil, a concentrated version of the cannabidiol compound, is typically derived from hemp but can be extracted from marijuana as well. CBD oil products on the market have varying levels of CBD and THC. Many have little to no THC, while some contain small amounts.

    The health benefits of CBD oil.

    OK, so CBD oil won’t get you high, turn you into a drug addict, or give you the munchies, so why is everyone talking about it? If THC is the Beyoncé of cannabinoids, then CBD is the Adele: Both you and your grandma will love it. CBD is just as talented as THC but safe for the whole family. CBD oil can provide amazing health benefits naturally, and there is a growing body of research to support it.

    While there are many different pathways driving the positive health benefits of CBD, the centre of its awesome abilities seems to be that CBD is a very effective natural anti-inflammatory. Chronic inflammation is really the commonality between most (and by most, I mean basically all) chronic health problems that we face today as a modern society. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, and hormonal problems are all inflammatory in nature. What the heck, right?

    Despite this, it’s important to know that inflammation is not inherently bad; in fact, it’s a brilliant aspect of our immune system. When balanced, inflammation heals wounds and fights off infections. The problem with inflammation arises when it increases and never calms down. Like a forest fire burning on in perpetuity, people get hurt. Same goes with the fiery squall of insidious, chronic inflammation. As a natural anti-inflammatory, CBD can help quell the flame and fight chronic inflammation.

    CBD oil, inflammation, and anxiety.

    Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States. An estimated 30 percent of adults in the United States (that’s 66 million people) and an estimated 25 percent of teenagers and preteens are affected by anxiety. As a functional medicine practitioner, I see many people who struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, and from these statistics, it should be no surprise. But just because something is common doesn’t make it normal. Fortunately, new insights into the cause of anxiety may help with the development of more effective treatment options.

    Most people do not associate cognitive health issues like anxiety, depression, brain fog, ADD, ADHD, and autism with inflammation, but it turns out that is exactly what the research is finding. There is actually a whole field of research known as the cytokine model of cognitive function studying how inflammation messes with our brains and may cause anxiety disorders. One finding is that elevated levels of NF kappa B (NFkB), an inflammatory bad guy, is associated with anxiety while people with lower levels of NFkB often have lower rates of anxiety.

    Enter CBD oil: an anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety compound. I have seen in my own life, and many of my patients’ lives, the positive impact CBD oil can have on anxiety. Studies have found that CBD oil is a natural anxiolytic (anxiety calmer) and is effective in treating social anxiety. CBD calms anxiety naturally without the potential side effects of pharmaceutical anti-anxiety medications.

    In addition to fighting inflammation in the body, CBD oil may reduce anxiety by directly affecting the brain. Studies have found that CBD actually lowers activity in the amygdala and increases prefrontal cortex activation, two parts of the brain involved in anxiety. There is also evidence that CBD is able to activate hippocampus neurogenesis, aka regenerate new neurons! This activates CB1 receptors, which has a positive balancing impact on GABA and glutamate levels, associated with reducing anxiety.

    CBD Oil: How much should you take?

    The studies done on CBD oil have a pretty wide dose range (anywhere from a few milligrams to hundreds of milligrams). I suggest starting at the lower end (around 10 milligrams) and slowly increasing over a few weeks or months to see what works for you. Some people also do well with splitting the dosage throughout the day instead of taking the dose all at once. As with everything, it is always a good idea to talk with your prescribing doctor if you are on any medications. CBD is generally very safe, but there are some pharmaceutical medications CBD oil could potentially interact with and increase or decrease the pharmaceutical drugs’ effectiveness.

    There are a growing number of quality CBD oils on the market. Just make sure the product you buy is getting third-party tested for quality and potency—and that the hemp was organically grown.
