Study Accidentally Finds Chemotherapy Makes Cancer Far Worse

Full Article @ http://www.naturalsociety.com/chemotherapy-makes-cancer-far-worse/

"A team of researchers looking into why cancer cells are so resilient accidentally stumbled upon a far more important discovery. While conducting their research, the team discovered that chemotherapy actually heavily damages healthy cells and subsequently triggers them to release a protein that sustains and fuels tumor growth. Beyond that, it even makes the tumor highly resistant to future treatment.

Reporting their findings in the journal Nature Medicine, the scientists report that the findings were ‘completely unexpected’. Finding evidence of significant DNA damage when examining the effects of chemotherapy on tissue derived from men with prostate cancer, the writings are a big slap in the face to mainstream medical organizations who have been pushing chemotherapy as the only option to cancer patients for years.
The news comes after it was previously ousted by similarly-breaking research that expensive cancer drugs not only fail to treat tumors, but actually make them far worse. The cancer drugs were found to make tumors ‘metasize’ and grow massively in size after consumption. As a result, the drugs killed the patients more quickly.
Known as WNT16B, scientists who performed the research say that this protein created from chemo treatment boosts cancer cell survival and is the reason that chemotherapy actually ends lives more quickly. Co-author Peter Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle explains:

“WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumour cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy.”
​

The team then complimented the statement with a word of their own:

“Our results indicate that damage responses in benign cells… may directly contribute to enhanced tumour growth kinetics.”
​

Meanwhile, dirt cheap substances like turmeric and ginger have consistently been found to effectively shrink tumors and combat the spread of cancer. In a review of 11 studies, it was found that turmeric use reduced brain tumor size by a shocking 81%. Further research has also shown that turmeric is capable of halting cancer cell growth altogether. One woman recently hit the mainstream headlines by revealing her victory against cancer with the principal spice used being turmeric.

This accidental finding reached by scientists further shows the lack of real science behind many ‘old paradigm’ treatments, despite what many health officials would like you to believe. The truth of the matter is that natural alternatives do not even receive nearly as much funding as pharmaceutical drugs and medical interventions because there’s simply no room for profit. If everyone was using turmeric and vitamin D for cancer (better yet cancer prevention), major drug companies would lose out."

 

[Sat X RB]

so what these fellows have found is that the outer visible effects of chemo are mirrored INSIDE.

surprise! surprise!

no way was I going to hospital and be given methoxatrate or whatever other nasty the specialist decided was THEORETICALLY appropriate for my erythrodermic psoriasis. I went home and took hemp oil.

worked for me!

 

[yesum]

I decided a while ago that if I get cancer I will not do chemo. If I die so be it.

Go on a low fat high fiber diet and do tumeric, that's it.

 

[Blaz3]

Sat X..do yoo feel that hemp oil did indeed cure your psoriasis?..i have heard many rumors that hemp oil can cure cancer,prevent it,aw well as many other diseases..do you feel the same way?

what were your methods of not only making the hemp oil..but taking it?..were you taking ANY other medicine..is your disease 100% cured,in remission..has it improved?

Have you ever taken hemp oil for any other diseases..if so,how did it work out for you..

and finally,what other diseases do YOU feel hemp oil can cure/and or prevent...

thank you.

Cannabinoids and Cancer: Some brief overviews of different forms of cancer
(Overview from 2008 - Many new discoveries involving cannabinoids and medical issues have been made since then)

(Click on the Numbers after each finding to see the full Scholarly Primary Article)
Cannabinoids and Gliomas
Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most dreadful forms of cancer and the most frequent class of malignant primary brain tumors. Antitumor action of two cannabinoid receptor agonists, Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol and WIN-55,212-2 (a mixed CB1/CB2 agonist), was shown to be mediated through accumulation of ceramide, which resulted in sustained activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2; ref. 2 and references therein). It was also reported that cannabinoids down-regulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and ERK signaling pathways, and activated proapoptotic function of Bad protein, leading to the induction of apoptosis ( 9). It has also been shown that that selective activation of the CB2 receptor by JWH-133 mediates apoptosis in glioma cells via enhanced ceramide synthesis de novo (ref. 4 and references therein). In addition, a role for stress-regulated protein p8 (also designated as candidate of metastasis-1) and its downstream targets such as activating transcription factor-4 (ATF-4), CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein, and cell death–inducible kinase (TRB3) was shown as a mechanism of the antitumor action of cannabinoids ( 2). A phase I clinical trial in nine patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme reported a fair safety profile of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol together with antiproliferative action on tumor cells ( 10). Contrary to these findings, Massi et al. ( 11) showed that cannabidiol treatment induces apoptosis in glioma cells in vitro and tumor regression in vivo through activation of caspases and reactive oxygen species via receptor-independent manner. Although there are few contradictory studies on the mechanism of action of cannabinoids, they all underline the importance of cannabinoids for the treatment of cancer. Hence, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of action of cannabinoids in cancer treatment.

Cannabinoids and Prostate Cancer
The presence of cannabinoid receptors was shown in the prostate tissue and in prostate cancer PC-3 cells. However, it was shown that treatment of PC-3 cells with Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol induced apoptosis via a receptor-independent manner ( 12). Interestingly, another study from the same group reported that activation of cannabinoid receptors in PC-3 cells stimulated the PI3K/Akt pathway with sequential involvement of Raf-1/ERK1/2 and nerve growth factor induction (ref. 13 and references therein). We have recently shown that the expression levels of both cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 are significantly higher in human prostate cancer cells compared with normal prostate epithelial cells. Based on this observation, LNCaP cells were treated with WIN-55,212-2, which resulted in inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis (ref. 4 and references therein) with an arrest of the cells in the G0-G1 phase of the cell cycle. This WIN-55,212-2–induced cell cycle arrest was associated with a sustained activation of ERK1/2 ( 4). To establish in vivo relevance of our in vitro findings, we showed that in CWR22Rν1 xenograft model, WIN-55,212–treated mice exhibited significant inhibition in the tumor growth with remarkable reduction of prostate-specific antigen secretion in the serum ( 14). Nithipatikom et al. ( 13) showed that increasing endogenous 2-arachidonoylgl and its stable analogue noladin ether inhibited invasion of androgen-independent prostate cancer PC-3 and DU-145 cells. Antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of endogenous cannabinoids anandamide in human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP, DU145, and PC3 were found to be mediated through down-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and accumulation of ceramide ( 15). Interestingly, anandamide analogue (R)-methanandamide was shown to have a mitogenic effect on LNCaP cells at very low doses ( 16).

Cannabinoids and Breast Cancer
It has been shown that anandamide, potently and selectively, inhibited proliferation of human breast cancer cells. This antiproliferative activity of anandamide was accompanied by a reduction of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle and suppression of prolactin receptor (ref. 5 and references therein). Ligresti, Moriello, and colleagues ( 5) have shown antitumor activities of five natural cannabinoids, cannabidiol, cannabigerol, cannabichromene, cannabidiol acid, and Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, and suggested that cannabidiol was the most potent inhibitor of breast cancer cell growth. Both cannabidiol and the cannabidiol-rich extract also inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells in athymic nude mice. In another study, (R)-methanandamide reduced the number and size of metastatic nodes, and this effect was reversed by CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716A. (R)-methanandamide–treated cells also showed decreased phosphorylation of focal adhesion–associated protein kinase and Src, and tyrosine kinases involved in migration and adhesion, suggesting that CB1 receptor activation might represent a novel therapeutic strategy to slow down the growth of breast carcinoma and to inhibit its metastatic diffusion in vivo ( 17). Contrary to these findings, McKallip et al. ( 18) have earlier shown that Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol enhanced breast cancer growth and metastasis specifically in cells expressing low levels of cannabinoid receptors by suppressing the antitumor immune response, suggesting that cannabinoid exposure may increase the incidence of breast cancer as well as other cancers that do not express cannabinoid receptors.

Cannabinoids and Lung Cancer
Lung cancer survival figures argue powerfully for new approaches to control this disease by agents that could reverse, suppress, or completely halt tumor development. Guzman (ref. 1 and references therein) reported for the first time that Lewis lung adenocarcinoma growth was retarded by the p.o. administration of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, and based in vitro studies, inhibition of DNA synthesis was identified as a mechanism for these effects. Another study showed that concentrations of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol comparable with those detected in the serum of patients after Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol administration accelerate proliferation of lung cancer cells (ref. 8 and references therein). Treatment of lung carcinoma cell line NCI-H292 with nanomolar concentrations of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol led to accelerated cell proliferation that was dependent on EGFR-mediated activation of ERK1/2 as well as PKB/Akt signaling (ref. 8 and references therein). Recently, it has been shown that Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol treatment inhibited epidermal growth factor–induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, c-Jun-NH2-kinase1/2, and Akt in A549 human lung cancer cell line as well as suppression of metastasis and s.c. tumor growth in severe combined immunodeficient mice ( 8).

Cannabinoids and Skin Cancer
Melanoma is responsible for the greatest number of skin cancer–related deaths worldwide. It was reported that CB1 and the CB2 receptors are expressed in normal skin and skin tumors of mice and humans. In vitro studies showed that activation of cannabinoid receptors induced the apoptotic death of tumorigenic epidermal cells, without affecting the nontransformed epidermal cells. Administration of WIN-55,212-2 or the selective CB2 agonist JWH-133 was shown to result in growth inhibition of malignant tumors in nude mice (ref. 6 and references therein). Another study showed that activation of these receptors decreased tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis of melanomas in mice, and inhibited proliferation via inhibition of Akt pathway and hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma in melanoma cells ( 6). These two studies offer an exciting opportunity to further explore the use of cannabinoids for the treatment and management of melanoma.

Cannabinoids and Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer ranks as one of the most fatal forms of cancer, and therefore, new strategies aimed at improving the prognosis of this deadly disease are warranted. Recently, it was shown that cannabinoid administration leads to apoptosis of pancreatic tumor cells via CB2 receptor and ceramide-dependent up-regulation of p8 and ATF-4 and TRB3 stress–related genes ( 7). Another study showed that CB1 receptor antagonist AM251–induced cell death in pancreatic MIAPaCa-2 cells occurred via receptor-independent manner ( 19). Although the two studies describe contrasting mechanism of action of cannabinoids, both underline the importance of cannabinoids for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In depth studies are therefore warranted to identify the mechanism of action of cell death induced by cannabinoids in pancreatic cancer.

Cannabinoids and Lymphoma
Studies show that exposure of murine lymphoma tumors EL-4, LSA, and P815 to Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol in vitro led to a significant reduction in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis, and EL-4 tumor–bearing mice led to a significant reduction in tumor load, increase in tumor-cell apoptosis, and increase in survival of tumor-bearing mice (ref. 20 and references therein). Similar observations were made by Flygare et al. ( 20) who treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells with cannabinoid receptor ligands and found a decrease in cell viability, whereas control cells lacking CB1 were not affected. Recently, Gustafsson et al. ( 3) reported that cannabinoid receptor–mediated apoptosis induced by (R)-methanandamide and WIN-55,212-2 in MCL was associated with ceramide accumulation and p38. These data suggest that targeting CB1 and CB2 receptors by their agonists may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of lymphoma.

I am not a scientist My.BioHazard,perhaps you can help me udnerstand some of this terminologly..and if indeed you can,explain what effects more or less THC has on present tumors,and future ones.

What I mean by this is,by reading this,is it safe to consider that THC both prevents and treats different kinds of cancer growth?

I am particularly interested in lung cancer,as most smokers should be,both tobacco and marijuana.Perhaps using a vaporizer daily is the best way to both combat and prevent lung cancer,as it ensures a safe,non combustiable way of inhaling THC,thus leading it straighth into the blood stream,without the dangers of combustion?

 

[dansbuds]

Chemo makes ya worse ? ....... why am i NOT surprized !!!

 

[homebaked]

Great post and great find!!!

As with most of their medicines, they cause more harm than good. I wouldn't be surprised if the drug used for chemo is some waste product that they have a hard time getting rid of, like fluoride.

I came to the conclusion when my mom battled breast cancer, the methods these doctors are being taught are one sided and that side is in favor of the pharmaceutical companies.

[guest59452]

wouldnt it be great if we could all just grow pounds and pounds and pound and make our own oil and all live freely and have prosperous lives without depending on the government for food money and electricity.

Hmm

 

[Blaz3]

Well..yeah in our dreams..we can grown all the pot we want..where will the food,and money come from..even medicine..not everyone has land to farm food and livestock..or the skills necessary..

what will happen to the hippies..once EVERYBODY becomes a hippy?...same problem that plagues us today....too many humans..not enough resources

 

[guest59452]

wait, since when was there not enough resources?

 

[GP73LPC]

This why doctors office are called practices...

Because they are practicing to get better...

 

[GetUpStandUp]

Phoenix tears the run from the cure, its been two years since I learned of Rick simpson, and not one ounce of proof has debunked the oil, but the last year we see how much the Health care, and medical system is a scam, yes we need doctors, but not what we have today. A 5000 year old chinese mummy was found, he was a medicine man, he also had a medicine pouch fully preserved as well, in it amoung other herbs for healing was marijuana, or maybe he just keep his smoke in it, lol Either way the world is waking up faster than the MAN trying to keeps us asleep.

I have found these two videos to be most detailed, and most informative on the entire issue let alone being legal. Another way to really see the scam is to research the pharma companies, and their profits, then research our own education on both Marijuana, and medical in our country, and its clear why people die over cancer, which is only a symptom of something else, its as easy to understand as PH testing our plants water, we have PH that allows cancers to thrive in our bodies, cancer loves acidic bodies, so no wonder all our foods, and fast foods, and GMOs and corn sugars which have high acid levels????

So when you see how many corperations profit and are in the loop, then you see a pattern of citizens being used for profit, and testing over the past decades. I just think ppl need to get past the pain, and the lies to really start to grow in understanding the works of ppl who value money rather than lives. I pray for those who are sick from any illness, my words go out to inform you, not to create confusion, or lay all facts at conspiracy, the proof is out there, you just got to grasp it, enjoy the videos and I hope you see clear afterwards.

Wow BoneQuicha..thanks for my very first neg rep..glad to see your so mature and understanding of other people's opinions and way of thinking..

Before I even BEGIN to contemplate writing a lenghty article explaining why I said what I said,why don't YOU,being the more mature of us,explain HOW everyone growing "pounds and pounds" of weed give us not only money,but food,free electricty,hell free everything?

Tell us your FABULOUS reason why 6.97 BILLION people,that are allowed to grow "pound and pounds" of weed,can possible live without ANY help outside of their own "commune"????????????

Can pounds and pounds of weed be bartered for RESOURCES..can pounds and pounds of weed make itself into edible food,or free electricty and natural gas??....can pounds of it magically desalinate and/or filter water into safe drinking water....

Tell us your MAGICAL view on this utopian,smoke filled society...

Backward thinker??...nah,I think someone's just kinda naive....

 

[Bi0hazard]

Blaz3,

I didn't write the comment about growing "Pounds and Pounds" but I've done years of research on this subject.

Yes, An outside community would still be helpful....

However, I want to point you in the direction of exactly what you were asking about. So you never read Jack Herer's book The Emperor wears no Clothing, it's ok it's really old - but all this was covered in depth by Herer =) It was even known back then that Cannabis/hemp crops could be turned into Ethanol Fuel, more efficiently than corn.
Multiple cars have been designed that easily run on ethanol fuel alone, and most gas at the stations has 10-15% ethanol in it already. .

1) Cannabis seeds have all the essential vitamins and minerals - there have been many studies showing that people can live very healthy only eating hemp seeds. It's actually recommended that you replace 1/3 of all the flower you use with pressed/powdered hempseed, to increase Omega-3 levels and other healthy benefits.
Source: 1 of the many sources on this... @ http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/the-nutrition-of-hemp-seeds.html

2) Cannabis can very effectively be used to make Ethanol Fuel for cars. It a negative emissions fuel, which means there is no carbon build up (black soot) and healthier for our environment too.
Source: 1 of the hundreds of articles on how Cannabis has been made into Ethanol for over a decade @ http://fuelandfiber.com/Hemp4NRG/Hemp4NRGRV3.htm

3) Aren't pounds of weed bartered for resources everyday? How do growers and dealers afford their houses, electricity, cars and all the stuff they buy? A corporate retail 9-5 job?
Cannabis will always be in demand and bartered for cash -> which can buy anything on the market.

Also - There was an article that said if the US designated 7% of it's national forestland to THC-Free hemp (which grows twice as big since it doesn't have to put energy into THC production) - the whole US energy needs could be handled by the use of Hemp made Ethanol. I have the link somewhere I gotta locate it through my hundreds of bookmarks.


I don't assume you are against cannabis or think it would be a bad thing to realize it is a wonderful food source in seed form, and that from the plant you could create energy that systems for houses, cars and society could easily run off of.

1) Moderate Marijuana Use Does Not Impair Lung Function, Study Finds

Full Article: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/11/marijuana-smoking-does-not-harm-lungs-study-finds/

"The new research is one of the most extensive looks to date at whether long-term marijuana use causes pulmonary damage, and specifically whether its impact on the lungs is as harmful as smoking cigarettes. The researchers followed more than 5,000 people over two decades and found that regularly smoking marijuana — the equivalent of up to a joint a day over seven years — did not impair performance on a lung function test. The test, a measure of pulmonary obstruction that looks at the amount of air a person can force out in one second after taking a deep breath, is typically worsened by smoking tobacco.

In something of a twist, the researchers found that compared to nonsmokers, marijuana users performed slightly better on the lung function test, though the improvement was minuscule. “Even with this tiny increase in airflow, I have to admit that I really doubt that there’s any real increase in lung health,” said Dr. Stefan Kertesz, an associate professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham school of medicine and an author of the study. The finding may merely reflect marijuana smokers’ years of “training” in taking deep inhalations and holding the smoke, the researchers said."

BioHazard..good points..and A.S..grow up??Why?For having my own opinion..its not twisting someones words when they leave you a douchbag negrep without giving you a chance to explain yourself,or better yet,engaging that person with a smart,respectful battle of debate..that we can ALL learn from...you dont just leave someone a negrep..and thats what pissed me off..

BioHazard,I have read all about the nutritious qualities of hemp seed..and yes it can make: rope,food,paper,ethanol,medicine,etc,etc..

Believe me,you think I like living in a world where you have to watch what you THINK,lest you be thrown into a 8x8 cage for a few years...

However,It would be VERY naive to say that if cananbis was legalized tomorrow,that it would solve all of modern societies problems..let alone "have prosperous lives without depending on the government for food money and electricity."

I will not engage in further debate on the matter,and wouldnt have even bothered coming here making myself look like the bad guy..had it not been for the immature negrep left by BoneQuicha...this started with that..nobody else...that's all I will say on the matter...
