📋 Overview: Cancer
Cancer occurs when cells mutate, grow, and divide more quickly than normal. If malignant, tumors can invade healthy cells and metastasize throughout the body.
🌿 How CBD & Cannabis Can Help
Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells while protecting healthy cells in laboratory settings. Studies show that cannabinoids inhibit tumor growth. Cannabis can help ease the symptoms of chemotherapy: nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, and pain.
💊 Recommended Treatment
Cannabis should be consumed both topically and sublingually on a daily basis to help fight off abnormal cell growth and manage treatment side effects.
