Cancer protocol
Preclinical studies indicate CBD protects normal cells and has these anti-tumor effects: anti-spreading, anti-metastasis, anti-angiogenesis, (new blood vessels for cancer) anti- inflammatory, anticancer growth, and it promotes apoptosis (cancer cell suicide). This protocol combines several established supplements and approaches with good evidence and results.
• Dose: I recommend at least 90 mg per day of tincture as a standard anti-cancer dose. Definitive studies on CBD dosage are lacking. For Liposomes the suggested dose is 10 pumps twice per day. For cancer pain and nausea, adjust the dose to control the symptom.
• Formulations: Elixinol comes in several forms but there is no evidence that one is better than the other. All products can be used topically for pain, inflammation, or injury. 5 drops of tincture is a good topical application. Product availability varies by country. Vaping with Respira delivers CBD directly to the lung and brain immediately in effective doses.
•Frequency: Two or three times daily for anti-tumor effects. Adjust as needed to enhance benefits or reduce any perceived side effects. Best taken with fatty foods.
•Side Effects: CBD has few if any side effects. Occasional: vivid dreams, fatigue, mild headache. The fatigue appears related to high doses. CBD has no psychoactive effects, no loss of cognitive function, coordination, memory or strength.
•Interactions, CBD can potentiate or make some drugs stronger in their effect on the body. If that happens reduce the dose of the other medication. In cancer AVOID anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and Tylenol because they could interfere with the cancer killing effects of CBD.
• Endocannabinoid support: CB2 oil. Activation of this receptor has been anti-cancer in many preclinical studies. CB2 oil comes from hops (caryophyllene) appears to enhance results without adverse effects. The best product (91%) is found through Cannatreehouse.com website. Apply this oil to any skin surface 5 drops (150mg) 2x/ day.
• Sulforaphane SFN is a dietary phytochemical in broccoli, cabbage, and can be considered a food, dietary supplement, or a drug. Preclinical studies have shown it effective in cancer of breast, lung, prostate, brain glioma and lung. Avmacol® is a highly absorbed form of SFN that has been well studied from https://www.avmacol.com/Avmacol.php (protective system). Four tabs per day.
• Nutritional support: Food supplements: Everyone should have adequate levels of Vit D above 60 ng/mL. Iodine is another often neglected dietary substance easily available in kelp tablets. Omega-3 oils help CBD by stimulating the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) in the body. Vitamin K2, unlike plain K, may reduce cancer occurence as much as 80% and is essential for calcium regulation. Best product is Vitamin ADK with 500mcg of K2 by Naturals (https://amzn.to/2Mu21VE).
• Diet: Avoid all processed foods. 1. Fasting: Overnight fasting for ≥13 hours improved outcomes in breast cancer by 36% (https://is.gd/ptcHUM). 2. Nutritional Ketosis diet: very low carbohydrate style like Atkins induction program. Atkins.com and DietDoctor.com (https://is.gd/OXfTzq). 3. Food supplements: Everyone should have adequate levels of Vit D above 60 ng/mL. Iodine from kelp tablets. Vitamin K2 from liver pate', bacon or natto (Japanese food).
• Chemo-radiation-surgical therapy: CBD protects normal cells but enhances cancer killing effects of these, furthermore it reduces the side effects due to this therapy including pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, stomach pain. Some notable cures have occurred with this combined approach, so I encourage a hybrid approach using chemotherapy and CBD whenever possible because I have seen excellent response without injury.
• Course of CBD: 3 months is suggested for minimum anti-cancer effect then a maintenance dose of 30 mg per day or equivalent is suggested thereafter to prevent recurrence. -see product recommendations for more details.
