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..."
Thanks shitscaredmum, i'm looking forward to chatting with everyone at next week's brainstrust webinar. Hopefully will help answer questions that people may on this subject.
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

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.
