In my middle of the night wanderings last night I took to reading an ebook entitled "Medicinal Cannabis Therapy" by Radic-Al Conscious, and stumbled onto this great passage in a longer discussion of the importance of diet in the healing process. The cannabinoids will repair and heal, but if you continue to abuse you should expect complications in the future, IMHO. I offer the good doctors thoughts.
The structure of the diet is an individual affair and can vary with different seasons and stages of a person's health. A certain amount of experimentation is necessary. One suggestion would be a hemp seed green smoothie for breakfast, vegetable juices and herb teas during the day with a raw salad, followed by a cooked meal if desired in the evening. Being overweight is detrimental to healing so a gradual but progressive weight loss by elimination of all processed food is necessary.
Cancer is a word, not a sentence.
A few closing suggestions are in order. Lemons and limes are an ideal start to the day, squeezed into a glass of water. A mixed vegetable salad in season is an ideal meal in itself and an excellent first course to a larger meal. Eating an adequate amount of raw food before a cooked meal aids digestion significantly. Charts of ORAC (oxygen radical absorbency capacity) give an indication of the antioxidant value of the food and are a useful planning aid. Such charts are available on the internet. Bear in mind this data is indicative only, because the antioxidant effect of a food depends not only on the type of food, but its quality and state of ripeness and preservation
Don't be intimidated by the fear mongering and negativity used by allopathic practitioners to frighten people into toxic and dangerous therapies.
There is growing evidence that X ray and chemotherapy treatments can induce the formation of resistant cancer stem cells. Thus, while most patients will see an initial response to allopathic treatment, this treatment actually drives the cancer into generating resistant cells that produce a relapse, with metastases that become resistant to the treatments used. In the event of receiving a cancer diagnosis the first decision to be made is whether one will take responsibility for one's own health or abrogate that responsibility and allow the pharmaceutical industry to direct treatment.. It can be a daunting prospect to untie oneself from the umbilical cord of hospital based treatments and seek healing by natural methods. This decision can be made more complicated by the multiplicity of programs and often conflicting advice on offer. There are certain cases where surgery should be considered as a first option. A bleeding bowel cancer is best excised as soon as practical, in my opinion, as this will stabilize the situation without compromising the immune system and its natural healing capacity. However, one thing appears certain. Both diet and cannabis based treatments will be more effective as a first line of action. Too often, patients will turn to these methods after their third or fourth relapse, when the chances of success are much reduced.
The body requires a certain amount of activity, so be as active as your condition will allow. Yoga practices of various forms can assist.
The CBD and THC have a synergistic effect against cancer and the CBD moderates the psychotropic effect of THC, allowing higher, more effective doses to be used. Some are advocating juicing cannabis, but this requires growing capacity beyond most patients.
I hope these few comments are of value and I wish you well Sincerely
Dr Andrew Katelaris MD
