Cannabidiol Inhibits Tumor Cells Without Side Effects, Says New Study

A new study published by the National Institute of Health has found that cannabidiol – a cannabis compound – attacks tumor cells, inhibiting them from further growth, by affecting “multiple tumoral features and molecular pathways”.

“In the present study, we found that CBD inhibited U87-MG and T98G cell proliferation and invasiveness in vitro and caused a decrease in the expression of a set of proteins specifically involved in growth, invasion and angiogenesis”, claims the study’s researchers.

“In addition, CBD treatment caused a dose-related down-regulation of ERK and Akt prosurvival signaling pathways in U87-MG and T98G cells and decreased hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1α expression in U87-MG cells.”

They continue; “Taken together, these results provide new insights into the antitumor action of CBD, showing that this cannabinoid affects multiple tumoral features and molecular pathways.”

The study concludes; “As CBD is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid that appears to be devoid of side effects, our results support its exploitation as an effective anti-cancer drug in the management of gliomas.”

The study – which can be found by clicking here – was conducted at the Centre of Neuroscience at the University of Insubria in Italy.

    I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2010. I am 55, African American, female with no family history of multiple myeloma. My doctor is an MD and does not feel cannabinoids will assist me with my issue. I am healthy but have been on 5 different medications due to meds not working. I am currently on oral chemo, subQ Valcade and dex.
    How can or if cannabinoid can help me? I want to live a long quality life, so what form will help me if it will help me?

    Thanks

      Do not listen to you MD. Get on an edible cannabis oil ASAP and take your health into your own hands. Your doctor will not suggest a treatment that in no way benefits the medical field. Meaning if they don’t make money from it, it’s not a viable treatment option. I know this sounds very ” conspiracy theoryish” but remember, no one cares about your life more than you. Good luck with your treatment.

      Cannabis kills cancer. Follow the money and you will learn why doctors
      do not want anyone to know why cannabis is not prescribed.
