RELIEF for Cancer Treatment Side Effects

I hope you and your loved ones never have to battle cancer. But if you have witnessed it firsthand, you know how rough standard cancer treatment is.
Chemotherapy often comes with pain, fatigue, sleeplessness, overwhelming nausea, and devastating brain fog. In fact, many patients say the treatment side effects are so debilitating that they’re WORSE than the cancer itself.
Talk about a classic necessary evil.
But IS it actually necessary?
Ease Cancer Treatment Side Effects NATURALLY
As it turns out, a solution exists that could help ease, or in some cases nearly eliminate, some of the worst cancer treatment symptoms.
Recent research published in the journal Exploration in Medicine CONFIRMS the benefits of cannabis (marijuana) for folks going through cancer treatment.
According to the new study, cannabis can ease troubling chemotherapy side effects.
The researchers tracked the experience of cancer patients who self-prescribed cannabis by going to legal dispensaries in Colorado.
The study participants chose whatever cannabis products they felt would help them most.
Because this wasn’t a controlled study, participants tried a wide variety of products, including cannabis-infused chocolates, gummies, tinctures, pills, and baked goods with a wide range of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabinol) potencies.
The cancer patients reported their cannabis use…
- helped with pain management,
- improved sleep quality,
- and boosted mental clarity.
Talk to To Your Doctor About Cannabis
Unfortunately, the government made the puzzling decision to list cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug in the 1930s. That labels it “highly addictive” with NO medical uses.
And ridiculously, that classification also means it’s considered riskier than Schedule 2 drugs like cocaine, meth, oxycodone, and others classified as highly addictive but with medical uses.
The truth is the safety profile of cannabis is MUCH lower than those Schedule 2 drugs. In fact, limited cannabis use is FAR safer than other legal drugs (like alcohol and cigarettes).
If you or someone you care about is battling cancer treatment side effects, talk to your doctor about the possibility of using cannabis to ease your symptoms.
Currently, 37 states regulate some form of medical marijuana sales, and approximately 11 have state-regulated cannabis dispensaries. Your doctor should be familiar with the laws in your area.
Be prepared to try a few different products to find the one that works best for you. Dispensary staff are typically very knowledgeable about the products and can help you decide which ones to try and how to use them.
