I love being away for awhile and coming back to this thread. At least there was the appearance of a small bit of defense in the form of Richard Parker, although it’s clear he doesn’t agree with me. I was kind of enjoying the fully one-sided assault though.
I’ll address some issues. Someone found faults with the synergy statement - that some compounds may inhibit others, and for that reason, it’s best to isolate the ones that work best. The experience has shown that in the case of cannabis, it is best to use the whole plant. With the miraculous results achieved, you really couldn’t get much better through isolation, it’s already amazing.
However, there is indeed no one magic cannabis bullet. Different strains with different levels of different cannabinoids, as well as varying terpene contents, seem to affect diseases differently. At the Conference I recently attended, a producer was saying how for something like epilepsy you want a CBD:THC ratio of 30:1, and for cancer you want 6:1, or something like that. They’d arrived at those estimates through testing.
It was also mentioned that medicine is different from food, and that’s why we isolate medicine, so it can achieve desired effects. People need to realize that food is medicine. In fact, one of the most well known statements from the father of medicine, Hippocrates, says, “Let food be your medicine and medicine be for your food.” That couldn’t be more true. The bottom line is that humans did not evolve using single chemicals. Humans evolved eating foods with a complex array of compounds. When we started synthesizing single-chemicals for use as medicine, then you get these problems with side effects, overdoses, toxicity. When nearly every single pharmaceutical commercial has 85% of its content describing a long-list of side effects, you know something is wrong.
The science supporting cannabis medicine is overwhelming. For every negative study you find, there are 20 positive ones. The list I attached contains mostly peer-reviewed articles, although several are also news reports reporting on peer-reviewed articles. Cannabinoids have been shown to kill cancer or inhibit nearly any type of cancer, and inhibit nearly any kind of disease. And in terms of a “gold-study” that shows cannabis works against something, here’s a quote from a NORML page (I know, I know, but it’s referring to peer-reviewed stuff!) regarding cannabis and neuropathy:
"The results of a series of randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials assessing the efficacy of inhaled marijuana consistently show that cannabis holds therapeutic value comparable to conventional medications, according to the findings of a 24-page report issued earlier today to the California state legislature by the California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR).
Four of the five placebo-controlled trials demonstrated that marijuana significantly alleviated neuropathy, a difficult to treat type of pain resulting from nerve damage.
http://blog.norml.org/2010/02/17/‘gold-standard’-studies-show-that-inhaled-marijuana-is-medically-safe-and-effective/"
And this is only INHALED marijuana. It is absurd that smoking something would be so effective, and comparable to conventional medications. That means people smoking marijuana are experiencing relief comparable to drugs with billions of dollars and years of research invested into them. But smoking is so inefficient, yet still works so well. It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that extracting the essential compounds from cannabis and then ingesting them orally, the proper way to take medicine, would work a lot better.
You all say the experiential results are worthless. That everything I’ve collected is completely dismissable because I didn’t follow the exact scientific protocols. This is a perfect example of the evil of science… for as much good as it has done and will continue to do, it has blinded people to what’s in front of them, to their own power, and to higher-level truths. Science is like humanity itself - both have the potential to be divinely good and terribly evil.
In any case, if anybody actually reads the report, it’s clear the scientific literature strongly supports the therapeutic use and safety of cannabis. But what matters most are the experiences. I’ve had people cry to me over the phone telling me about how cannabis saved their lives. Just getting home today, I saw a post from someone treating terminal lung cancer. Doctors said he had no hope, he was going to die for sure, and that chemotherapy could only potentially prolong his life, but even that was unlikely. He ended up doing one round of chemotherapy, then stopped and used 2/3 gram of oil a day for a little over a month. The next scan showed all tumors had reduced, and the doctors said he is the FIRST person with his stage of cancer to have had this type of response to chemo, not knowing he was also using oil.
I’ve been seeing stuff like this for years. All evidence from everyone I’ve spoken to, and everything I’ve seen, suggests these results are the norm, not the outliers. I didn’t cherry pick good testimonials from bad ones; I tried to include a good mix of the very good testimonials with the good testimonials. There just aren’t many bad ones out there, the ones I remember were from a long time ago.
Someone said awhile ago that when this is not vindicated, I’ll blame the pharmaceutical companies or some other obscure reason for its failure. If that was the case, I would not do such a thing - I would simply admit I was wrong, and accept whatever just punishment there should be for promoting a false cancer cure. But that’s not going to happen. Soon the world, and all of you, will learn just how real this is.
I want to reiterate something that nobody addressed, and this is serious. If there’s one thing I want you guys to address, it is this fact. The case of Charlotte Figi, who went from 300 grand mal seizures a week to less than three minor seizures a month, prompted dozens of families to move to Colorado to try this oil. They didn’t wait to see any peer-reviewed studies - basically off just one case, they risked their lives to try this medicine. And it’s actually paying off. 9 of the 11 patients Dr. Margaret Gedde is tracking have experienced 90-100% reductions in seizures, when no other pharmaceuticals were working. If these parents acted as you would have instructed, they should’ve stayed in their states, and waited YEARS for this to play out. How many seizures would those children have had, how many would have died in that waiting? But instead, these families took a chance, and their children are now healing and experiencing miraculous results.
That’s the whole point here. We can’t wait. The people who aren’t waiting are moving this forward, and nothing can stop this. That’s why, despite the very insulting remarks to my character, I have maintained the demeanor I have at the start of this thread. Because you will all learn the truth soon, and we will all celebrate together and laugh about this.
I understand where you all are coming from. If someone is purporting a miracle cure, and telling people to use an alternative treatment, that’s not just philosophical, there are real consequences. If people forego traditional treatment for the alternative and then die, that’s serious. It’s not a game. And so many people make wild claims based on such little evidence, it is indeed ridiculous that some people put so much faith into things with so little.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That’s true, and the evidence that exists is more than extraordinary.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a man once considered to be Surgeon General of the United States, once believed that cannabis had no medicinal value. Based on his experience with the Stanley brothers, who are a big part of my report, he changed his mind and publicly apologized to America for misleading them about cannabis. Doctors of his caliber don’t apologize to the country in support of a fake medicine. He did it because he saw it’s really working, and he put his credibility on the line because the experiences were so marvelous to him. You won’t find someone like him promoting MMS or essiac tea, but he promoted high-CBD cannabis oil because it works.
