This is taking place all over the country. People are seeing their cancers going away and doctors are afraid to notice.

taken from forum.grasscity.com

I have basal cell skin cancer which is one of the most common cancers (1 in 5 Americans develop it). Non-melanoma skin cancers are not particularly dangerous. If you have melanoma, I am sorry. I beg you not to try this. Melanoma is serious shit and while it is not necessarily a death sentence, you do NOT want to play with it.

Anyhow, what happens is i go to the dermatologist, he finds a lesion, and then i have a choice. I can spend a pile of money getting it removed (excised) using plastic surgery techniques, or i can have the guy cut it off and then cauterize the wound. I use the (brutal) slash and burn technique because I would rather have the scar and some money in my pocket than go through the hassle of getting the plastic surgery and still end up with a scar. This fall the dermatologist found three fresh ones.

Early in December was on-line and found this article: J. Clin. Invest. 111:43–50 (2003). doi:10.1172/JCI200316116 (JCI - Inhibition of skin tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo by activation of cannabinoid receptors). It is a study on in vivo treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer that shows a very positive effect on skin cancer from the use of cannabinoids. It is an animal study using rats, but what the heck.

Long story short I read and re-read the article, and then contacted one of the authors who said basically that I should give it a try. I tried several methods, but this is what works:

1. Get a valid diagnosis. If you can get the doc to do a punch biopsy great. If he will do the biopsy and leave the wound open, better yet. That is what my guy did on one of the lesions.

2. Get some hash oil. I used both alcohol extracted and butane extracted oil and like the alcohol extracted hash oil better. If it is too pure, it is more of a solid and is hard to work with.

3. Make sure the cannabinoids can get to the cancer. On one of the lesions, the doc did a biopsy, on the others my wife poked holes in my skin with the pointy end of a scalpel. Yes, it is kind of barbaric since we had no lidocaine, but its no worse than a tattoo.

4. Cover the holes with the hash oil and cover the hash oil with a band-aid. Keep hash oil on the lesion (24/7) until the holes (or biopsy) heals.

5. One of my three lesions were healed in about 7 days. Thats right, when the biopsy or self-inflicted holes were gone, the cancer was also gone!

6. I had to retreat two of the cancers - dunno why.

Despite our wishes, I will no doubt have more cancers to work with by this fall, but i would rather not wait to get more evidence. Plus, if someone else would be willing to try this alternative, the evidence that we gather would be much stronger.

So, if you are in Colorado and have a NON-melanoma skin cancer that was diagnosed by a Doctor, please PM me. I'm obviously not a doctor, and so i'm not offering to treat you. All i can offer is some hash oil left over from my fall crop and moral support. Oh, i can take the pictures too.

Updates to come.

I went to the Dr. finally, the skin cancers are officially gone. I'll have more this fall (as usual) and will post the result of treating them.

Did you tell the doctor what you did so that he could recommend it to other patients or investigate it further?

He was very clear that he had a lot to loose. If the DEA came down on him as they could he would loose his license, his home, his office, and everything else they could get ahold of.
