Natural Therapy SA has put this article together to highlight how cannabis oil works to kill cancer. Cannabis is a trending topic and for good reason. More countries by the day are now adopting cannabis friendly policy that allows for mainstream integration of the cannabis plant for medical purposes.
Apoptosis is a natural process that occurs in our bodies. Whereby cells are actively destroyed as part of a particular organism. Cancer cells reproduce in an abnormal way because they no longer adhere to the bodies signals that encourage or destroy a cell.
As these mutated cells grow and divide, they become even more unstable these cells grow and divide. Since these mutated cells no longer respond to apoptosis, we see a situation where the mutated cell grow is out of control.
As cancer cells reproduce at a rate that the Endocannabiod system cannot handle, these cancer cells start to invade through normal tissues and ultimately spread throughout the body.
THC is the active compound in cannabis that binds to the CB1 receptors and is responsible for mood, behaviour, and other cerebral functions. On the other hand, CBD latches onto the CB2 receptors and tells these receptors if there are? Invaders? That are detrimental to the body.
Once they bind together, the receptor activation can then help the endocannabinoid system in signalling an antitumorgenic warning. Which means, it impairs cancer development through inhibiting reproduction, metastasis, and tumour angiogenesis.
Conclusion
Chemotherapy patients have also turned to cannabis oil for alleviating their post-chemo side effects. Such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, inflammation, neuropathic pain, immune suppression, and loss of appetite.
