Underground Cure KNOCKS OUT Cancer Pain
Knowing you have cancer is bad enough.
Living with cancer is even worse.
Cancer causes debilitating pain that will destroy your quality of life.
Adding insult to injury, the drugs used to treat cancer – like chemotherapy – are notorious for making you even more MISERABLE.
But the state of Minnesota has begun a program to identify ways to alleviate pain in cancer patients.
And you’ll never guess which underground cure was able to put a huge dent in cancer pain.
I’m still getting used to the concept of medical marijuana. Not from a medical standpoint, but from a legal one.
But this medical cure-all is finally being taken seriously, and I couldn’t be happier.
That’s why I was excited to see that Minnesota actually has a state medical marijuana program that provides cannabis to cancer patients and tracks their improvements.
According to their results, cannabis works remarkably well for combatting cancer pain — plus seven other common symptoms of cancer and cancer treatments.
The program included 1,120 cancer patients who received medical marijuana over a four-month period.
The researchers found that medical marijuana led to improvements in all eight symptom categories that they tracked, which included:
- Reduced appetite
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Disturbed sleep
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- And Pain.
Interestingly, the improvements didn’t just last while the patients were using medical marijuana—but for four whole months afterward.
The severity of vomiting, for example, dropped by 30%.
On a 10-point scale, pain dropped from 8 to 6.7.
And the percentage of patients reporting a maximum pain score of 10 dropped from 25% to less than 10%.
Minnesota’s medical marijuana program extends beyond treating cancer patients and includes other conditions like PTSD, severe muscle spasms, and intractable pain.
These are all conditions that medical marijuana has been proven to have a beneficial impact on. I’m glad to see a state-run program utilizing one of nature’s miracle cures.
Hopefully, this will encourage other states to follow suit.
In the meantime, you don’t have to wait for your own state to catch on.
If you have cancer and are experiencing the life-altering pain that can be caused by cancer (and the treatments), talk to your doctor about adding legal cannabis to your regimen.
