Breakthrough! New Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Patients
No one wants to hear they have cancer.
But a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is especially devastating.
Even when it is caught in fairly early on (stage 1A), the 5-year survival rate is only 14%. And if it’s diagnosed at stage 4, the survival rate drops to 1%.
For some folks, it’s practically a death sentence.
But all that could be changing.
Because scientists have found an unconventional treatment that can help individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer live THREE TIMES longer.
This is one breakthrough you won’t want to miss.
There is a controversial treatment making waves in the cancer community: cannabidiol (CBD) oil.
CBD oil is the non-psychoactive component of marijuana, meaning it doesn’t give you the notorious high associated with the plant.
But there’s plenty of other things it DOES give you… like relief for symptoms of depression, arthritis, migraines, and more.
Now, one of the most recent studies on CBD shows its incredible potential for people with pancreatic cancer.
Researchers treated mice with pancreatic cancer with either a standard chemotherapy drug, or chemotherapy plus CBD oil.
Those given the CBD oil + chemo lived three times longer than those given the chemo alone.
This is a remarkable finding for pancreatic cancer patients, given the dismal life expectancy associated with this particular cancer type.
And since the life expectancy of pancreatic cancer patients hasn’t changed much in the past 40 years, it also represents a remarkable advance in treatment.
CBD oil has been shown to have beneficial effects in other forms of cancer as well, including breast, brain, bladder, lung, and prostate cancer.
And as an added benefit, it can help relieve the side effects associated with standard treatments, like nausea.
Imagine that… a treatment that helps you live longer AND helps you feel better at the same time.
Is it any wonder I keep singing the praises of CBD oil?
If you or someone you love is suffering from pancreatic cancer, talk to your doctor about adding CBD oil to your standard chemotherapy treatment. It’s now legal in most states.
To a brighter day,
Dr. Richard Gerhauser, M.D.
