Hi Backy, #cannabidiol and #lowdosenaltrexone combinations are something that is being discussed more frequently. The over-arching concern would be the effect of these on other drugs, as well as on liver function. I have DM'ed you a reply

For those who may have missed this last week. From the 31 March 2021, only #CBD products that have submitted a "Novel Food" application will be allowed to remain on the market (food.gov.uk/news-alerts/ne…)

I understand this study by Colorado State University could not be presented in full because of Covid-19. So for those who missed it... faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fa… A study providing further evidence that #CBD is capable of inducing cell death in a model of #braincancer

Two fascinating podcasts CannabisHealthRadio and @Mary_Biles highlighting further the experiences of Michelle Kendall, #CannabisMedicinal and #Cancer. To quote Michelle from her Schedule 1 Movie: science should never be illegal! "It may not be curative, but I know it has given me more time..."

A new study in Scientific Reports highlights an anticancer action of #CBD in a mouse model of #headandneckcancer. The article nature.com/articles/s4159…, supports our continuing work St George's, University of London (1752-2024) showing benefits in #combination therapies involving #cannabidiol youtube.com/watch?v=3duZmM…

The UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs @CND_tweets UN Office on Drugs & Crime have recommended a change in the classification of #cannabis. I hope this will help stimulate further #research in the field of #medicinalcannabis. Press release: unodc.org/documents/comm…

Please take a look at my latest video (youtube.com/watch?v=vMzXqf…) where my colleague Prof Angus Dalgleish from St George's, University of London (1752-2024) discusses how #COVID19 and can hijack #Immunity. In it, he also discusses why #VitaminD can be important. I hope to load more videos soon! Wai

New article in Scientific Reports describing a lab-based study of the effect of #CBD in a model of #inflammation. nature.com/articles/s4159… show #phytocannabinoids can exert both pro and anti-inflammatory effects depending on cell type. #confused

Thanks to all flagging pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33623076/ in British Journal of Cancer showing promise in using #THC, #CBD with #temozolomide in #GBM. Frustratingly, these exciting results were first reported in 2017 (ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.120…), yet there have been no updates re further studies 😤 #goodbad

Study supported by The Brain Tumour Charity investigating further the effects of #sativex in combination with #temozolomide in patients with recurrent #glioblastoma. More details at thebraintumourcharity.org/media-centre/n… #CBD #THC

Further lab-based evidence of anticancer activity of #CBD in a model of #ovariancancer. Seen in the journal Gynecologic Oncology (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…). Possible improved action if combined with other treatments. Interestingly, dose of CBD is important.

Thanks to Sarah Sinclair CannabisHealth for the write-up (cannabishealthnews.co.uk/2022/06/07/sto…). There is increasing evidence that show #CBD and other #cannabinoids are able to support the action of some treatments. I'm happy to answer questions via DM or by email St George's, University of London (1752-2024)

Crucial to stress limits of the data to prevent this important study being called out as exaggerated nature.com/articles/s4153…. Mouse study showed diet of 15% frankfurter resulted in 11 tumours; standard diet resulted in 7. Seen in theguardian.com/society/2022/d… dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

I've been asked about #ketamine as a potential #anticancer agent seen in dailymail.co.uk/health/article… by Chloe Louise in Mail Online The only dose that was #cytotoxic was 200x higher than the conc in blood when it is used as an #anaesthetic! Doses are clinically #irrelevant.
