Man Cured of Cancer Applying Hemp Oil (Real Weed) Cannabis

http://RevolutionNews.US ~ Medical Marijuana Study in Colorado Springs - Maybe the cannabis cream cured Brett Strauss' thyroid cancer. Maybe it didn't. There's no proof either way.

All Strauss knows is that in January, tests on five tumors in his neck came back positive for cancer. Two months later, after regularly putting cannabis cream on his neck, the tumors were found to be benign in a post-surgical biopsy.

He's become such a believer in the medicinal properties of marijuana that he wants to give people who are terminally ill an affordable way to try it.

Beginning Wednesday, he'll pay for people with terminal illnesses to go to Colorado Compassionate Physicians for a medical marijuana recommendation, provide them with free or at-cost medical marijuana if they can't afford it, and even shuttle them to Denver so they can get a waiver for the $90 state fee, if they're eligible.

"It's really neat what happened with my cancer, but the real story is giving back and taking care of people who have cancer or AIDS or some other terminal disease," he says.

Strauss, 39, is no stranger to medical marijuana. He started using it not long after his first surgery for thyroid cancer in 2007, mostly for pain associated with the operation and for digestive ailments. He then opened a dispensary, and he and his fiancee started an investment company last year to invest in other medical marijuana enterprises.

In December, he moved his business, LAKK Investments, into a building near Centennial Boulevard and 30th Street, where Colorado Compassionate Physicians had already opened to serve patients needing medical marijuana recommendations. He soon made his pitch to the doctors to offer free visits for people with life-threatening illnesses.

"I think that when he came to our doctors and spoke with them, they just wanted to help," says Vicky Chase, office manager for Colorado Compassionate Physicians. "They want to help the community; they want people to see this isn't a bad thing."

Strauss says he has no financial ties to the doctors, doesn't require the patients to come to him for their medications, and won't make money from his offer. In fact, he says, the offer will likely cost him about $80,000 when the business is already operating at a loss. But he believes his investments will eventually pay off, and acknowledges that his gesture might eventually boost his business.

"Obviously, we get a benefit out of it — good PR — so hopefully our name grows," says Strauss, who plans to make a similar offer in Denver. "But it's also something we take very seriously. I'm a huge believer."

He also hopes that he and the doctors can better track patients who use medical marijuana to provide solid evidence that it helps.

"If we start tracking cancer patients — in fact, that's what I'm doing — we can put together something really good and scientific," Strauss says. "I want more stories so we can get real results with it."

Strauss makes it clear that his offer isn't a free-for-all for stoners. People must have medical records proving they have a serious illness, and they'll have to undergo an exam.

"The doctors are very strict; they don't want people taking advantage of it," says Strauss. "We're looking for really truthful patients."

For those who are skeptical that cannabis cream cured Strauss' cancer, you're in good company; his doctor in Denver doesn't believe medical marijuana can go that far. But Dr. Mark Solano confirms the results of both of his patient's biopsies, and backs him on the belief the marijuana has a place in traditional medicine.

"In my opinion, it's safer than a lot of prescribed drugs," Solano says. "One of the first people I gave it to was a guy with brain cancer -- he felt it was the only thing that helped with his pain and nausea. But I'm not a marijuana doctor; I'm a family doctor."

If these drug companies ever found a way to reverse disease they'd never in a million years give it to us. Just like our use of oil, the shit was obsolete many years ago, but they're not going to let us stop using it. What has happened to this country, no one holds these corrupt politicians accountable anymore. These drug companies are pushing shit now that does more damage than good to keep the profits flowing. They make billions, kick-back a few million for lawsuits & walk away w full pockets.

@TRYER25 It's a diverse group of people, actually. People up in Canada have cured their cancer with cannabis oil, and two little girls with brain tumors (one was progressing in size) inhaled the cannabinoids that led to a significant reduction in the size of their brain tumors. Even people in Colorado have reported successful treatments of carcinoma with using cannabis extracts and oil. Cancer cells have CB receptors, which is why THC can kill them. Nobody is signifcantly different.

Big pharma can't have that, now can they?

Vote Ron Paul 2012

[zekdom]

@simonv316 Actually, yes he is for state sovereignty. Ever heard him say "Let the state decide" concerning social issues? Let it sink in...Yeah, it makes sense now.

So quit just reading quotes on Facebook and watch a debate!

[simonv316]

@zekdom Actuall no Ron isint for state power because the corrupt government is only thinking about themselves and other ways to make money, there is going to be no jobs for the next generation and Ron is are only hope as if he was president he could set the income tax rate to 0%.

[zekdom]

@DTK5689 Continued... About Ron Paul, if you listen to all of what he's saying, then you can tell that he is for state power to the highest degree possible. For example, remember when Fox News moderated a Republican debate, and the blonde asked Ron Paul if he would federally interfere to regulate the morning after pill, if he would make that pill illegal? He didn't say that neither the state nor the government should not make it illegal, but he said "Let the state decide." as his final answer.

[DTK5689]

@zekdom I really don't think that his intention is to have an all-powerful state government because that serves no one. I think the small government mentality would catch on at the state level because more people would be aware of the tyranny big government has cultivated. Also, I think the view that if we didn't have government mandates to "provide" for people, we would have no compassion to help our neighbors. There's more good within us than we are led to believe by the media.

[zekdom]

@DTK5689 Ah alright, I will say that Ron Paul is an interesting candidate. I tend to enjoy his social idea of civil liberties and non-interventionalist foreign policy, but the only problematic thing is that he would not federally interfere if a government of a state would not allow a certain freedom to be exercised. But hey, as a paleo-conservative, he is fairly consistent with his ideas. I do believe that he is not a servant of the federal government or corporations, and that's cool.

[DTK5689]

@zekdom Jefferson did have faults, there's no doubt, but he was one of, if not the most important figure in our country's history. I'll not deny that he violated the Constitution in placing an embargo on trade to prevent ships from being pirated by the French and British, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't a great President. As for the slaves, he was bankrupt and had no ownership over them in reality. However, slavery was a huge stain on his legacy, I'll grant you that.
