THC initiates brain cancer cells to destroy themselves

WorldHealth.net - more evidence of the anti-cancer properties of cannabis hemp.

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, causes brain cancer cells to undergo a process called autophagy in which cells feed upon themselves, according to a study conducted by Guillermo Velasco and colleagues at Complutense University in Spain. Using mice designed to carry human brain cancer tumors, the researchers found that the growth of the tumors shrank when the animals received THC. The study also involved two patients with glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer. Both patients had been enrolled in a clinical trial designed to test THC's potential as a cancer therapy. The researchers used electron microscopes to analyze brain tissue taken before and after a 26- to 30-day THC treatment regimen. They found that THC eliminated the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact. In addition, in what they described as a "novel discovery," the specific signalling route by which the autophagy process unfolds was isolated.

The human brain is the most complex and relevant organ of our body. Brain is responsible for every actions and thoughts of an human being or an animal. The composition and functions of the brain is really complicate. Earlier brain cancer was a word which was frightening but currently it is taken as an disease which can be cured without much effort. Most of the brain cancer patients dies because of negligence and unawareness. Brain cancer is a curable disease if treated at the right time.

You should also check out Longevinex for cancer and age-related illness. My mom and her friends take it. Her breast cancer has not returned and it killed one of her friends breast tumors. The combination of resveratrol and Vitamin D3 are able to kill tumors. Not sure if it works for brain cancer, but it did reverse deteriorating memory loss in another friend.

It also gives you a tremendous boost in energy. I'm hoping to film some of the success stories and post them up. Most of the people it benefits are not tech savvy, so that is why it's hard to hear about these things.
