Cannabis has gained fame recently for its ability to treat seizure disorders in children with otherwise “untreatable” conditions. But despite the pharmaceutical industry’s attempts at keeping the benefits of this plant medicine hidden from the general public, a growing number of people are turning to cannabis for cancer treatment, too.
In Case Reports In Oncology, the case study of a young teenage girl with an aggressive form acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a Philadelphia chromosome mutation details how cannabis extract came to be the cure of choice. In a nation where plant medicines are maligned as pseudoscientific “woo” and Big Pharma’s toxic medicines continue to reign supreme, the fact that doctors even bothered to document such a reality is an astounding feat.
Teen with “incurable” cancer: A cannabis success story
In the case study, the researchers explain that ALL is usually easily treated with conventional cancer treatments — but that determining the severity and aggressiveness of the cancer is ultimately dependent on chromosomal testing, to see what cells are involved and if the cancer is myeloblastic.
In this case, it was determined that the 14-year-old had ALL with a Philadelphia chromosome mutation. After 34 months of treatment with standard measures, including bone marrow transplants, aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy, treatment of her cancer was considered a “failure.” The patient’s oncologist and hematologist said her cancer was “incurable” and that she “suffers from terminal malignant disease.”
Palliative care (also known as hospice care) was the only option left — or so the doctors thought.
With no other alternative forms of conventional treatment to turn to, the family began giving their daughter cannabinoid extracts orally. As the case report states, “Cannabinoid resin extract is used as an effective treatment for ALL with a positive Philadelphia chromosome mutation and indications of dose-dependent disease control. The clinical observation in this study revealed a rapid dose-dependent correlation.”
The researchers noted further that “spontaneous remission” wasn’t a feasible explanation due to the overt dose-dependence that was observed. “These results cannot be explained by any other therapies, as the child was under palliative care and was solely on cannabinoid treatment when the response was documented by the SickKids Hospital,” the team wrote.
After 78 days on cannabis therapy, it became clear that cannabis extracts were stopping the cancer. But unfortunately, as Green Med Info reports the child passed away “as a consequence of bleeding associated with bowel perforation, and ultimately the lasting adverse effects of the original 34 months of aggressive treatment she had underwent previous to cannabis.”
