You are correct that Dr Bob saved Cheryl Shuman's life.
This is patient 1 you are referring to. Patient 2 is the one waiting on the biopsy results.
Well said!
That it is. A safe, organic, non-addictive medicine. The God's smiled on us when the plant was brought to the world.
Through a public forum, quite by chance. I promised to protect his privacy which I will honour.
I just got an email from patient 3 with an update on his condition.
"Another section of the big tumor just fell off. My wife said it is a flat mushroom now and I'm not hitting my head when I lean into the fridge."
This is great news! Both for the patient and also of course for CBIS.
HEALED: How I Cured My Cancer with Cannabis
By Charmie Gholson
This story is the first in a series exploring the curative powers of marijuana, told from the perspective of the people who say they have used it to heal themselves.
These claims are not a part of a formal study and have not been evaluated by a scientific panel. They are documented observations of the patient and his treating physician. The American Cultivator believes in relaying these stories, with the hope that more research will be forced to fruition and assist in the reduction of patient suffering from chronic illness.
Mike McShane has endured five bouts of Squamous cell carcinoma cancer. He’s spent a million dollars and has been treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery by this team of doctors at the Detroit Medical Center. Today, he believes the invasive treatments were unnecessary. He says he’s cured his latest bout with the disease using a highly concentrated form of marijuana oil called Simpson Oil.
Michael McShane and Gersh Avery are hanging out in my office, chain smoking cigarettes and talking about Jesus.
“That may be why they hung him on that tree you know,” Gersh says, waving his hand and sending a cascade of ashes across my desk. “What do you think was in that oil he was healing people with? It was cannabis.”
Three years ago, I wouldn’t have believed the so called, “healing properties of cannabis,” but not today. Not with 51 year old McShane sitting across from me, grinning through the smoke and nodding his head. He’s a rapt audience of one, sitting in the front pew in the church of healing.
25 years ago, McShane was diagnosed with HIV. This was the late 80’s, when nothing was known about the disease. Doctors gave you an immediate death sentence.
“The opportunistic diseases that kill you with HIV are cancer and pneumonia,” he says. “I went in with breathing problems and asking what time I was leaving. They said, ‘you’ll be lucky if you get out of here in two weeks alive.’”
“I felt a wheelchair bump me in the back of the legs, and heard, ‘sit down sir,’ then they wheeled me into an ICU isolated unit. Everybody had space suits on. Anyone who came into that room was dressed up like they were landing on the moon or ready to fight chemical warfare. They looked like Robby the Robot coming at me.”
“There they were, my caregivers, all suited up and I’m thinking, ‘man I must be super messed up.”
The doctor came in and told McShane, “I’ll give you six months to live. Do you have any questions?”
“He was really sarcastic,” McShane says, adding that at that time, HIV was “The Gay” disease. “I was shaking and thinking what the hell? It was unbelievable.”
McShane’s first bout with cancer occurred a few years later. His doctors cut a wedge out of his lip. Soon after, he noticed a lump in his neck. He underwent radical neck surgery that removed part of his jugular vein. He also underwent radiation treatment.
“By the time they were done I couldn’t talk, plus they cut the nerve in my neck. I had to learn how to talk again. The radiation they used on me was so strong it burned my throat.”
A few years after the neck dissection, McShane experienced colon cancer, which resulted in surgery and chemotherapy. “The colon cancer was a pain in the ass,” he laughs, “but it wasn’t anything like the neck surgery.”
After the colon issue McShane had a major outbreak of cancer in four areas on his face. They performed surgery on his forehead, both lips and cheek in a surgical suite, using local anesthetic while McShane was awake. He says he could feel everything and asked for more anesthesia.
The doctor would first removed tissue, then send it to a nearby lab for testing while McShane waited in the chair. He repeated this process until all the cancer was gone. By then, he had removed a substantial amount of Michael McShane’s face.
He was rushed out through the back of the clinic. “I walked in looking normal and now it looked like a pipe bomb went off in my face,” he says, “From a marketing perspective, they had me go out the back door.”
After eight hours of reconstructive surgery, and another six procedures for scar revisions and lip clefts, McShane’s oncology procedure was deemed successful.
In June of 2011, the cancer on his face returned, growing back in the same places where it had been surgically removed. By then he was growing marijuana, acting as a caregiver under the Medical Marihuana Act. McShane recalls a powerful, dawning moment of learning that marijuana cured cancer.
“There I was in the basement, with the plants growing, and the lights and fans humming. I couldn’t believe it. The thought of curing my cancer with this oil was almost too much.”
Avery lights another cigarette and laughs, as if not believing this oil cures cancer is just plain silly. He’s co-founder of the Michigan Cannabis Cancer Project, an educational program that promotes and provides Simpson oil to anyone who needs it, at no cost. “It works,” he says simply.
“I found out about this stuff through the medical marijuana community,” McShane says. “ I’ve made about 1,000 new friends since 2008. Without knowing you guys I would have never known about this oil and I would have died. That’s no bullshit.”
“I got Simpson oil and started putting it on and after ten days, ten days I saw it. The cancer started to break up before my eyes. It looked like a big white callous, and it started to fragment and break up.”
“I was crying. It was unbelievable.” He called his Dermotologist, told him the cancer was back and that he was treating it with marijuana.
McShane leaps from his chair in my office and starts dancing around, laughing. “Here I am, in my basement, with a 9th grade education and I’m healing my cancer, and I’m saying, ‘I‘m not going to spend 40 grand with you!’”
He went to his doctors office. “You’ve got cancer on your face,” he told McShane. “I know,” he responded. “That’s the reason I’m here. I want you to put it in my chart and note it because when I come back I don’t think it’ll be here. It’s going to be gone because I’m using this marijuana oil.” His doctor told him, “well ok, but get to Dermatology immediately. That’s cancer.”
McShane didn’t go to Dermatology. He continued using the oil and the cancer started to lose the battle very quickly. It took about three months to reach the underneath layer of live skin. During that time he went to see his doctor about four times who said he could see things were getting better.
After three months of Simpson oil treatment, the cancer had broken down and exposed a layer of live skin. During that time McShane saw his doctor about four times, who confirmed his condition was improving.
In late August, McShane appeared on WWJ AM Radio, and also on Fox News Let It Rip where he squared off with Dr. Steven Newman, President of Michigan State Medical Society. A few weeks earlier Newman had stood next to Attorney General Bill Schuette at a press conference, decrying the medical marijuana bill as, “hijacked by pot profiteers who threaten public safety…”
McShane’s dermatologist also interviewed with WWJ. He denied McShane was completely cured but said the cancer was 60 percent gone and that the results so far, “definitely warrant further scientific study for the use of cannabis for treating skin cancer.” But after this interview, when other reporters called, his office issued the following statement. “We’re not going to cooperate anymore.”
When McShane went to see his doctor for his last visit, he expected him to proclaim a miracle.
“He took a look at my face and was amazed, but made no comments whatsoever, as if he really didn’t know what to do. I think he got a phone call from Newman and had been ‘talked to’ because when he came into to look at me it was more of a political thing than a doctors exam.”
“I said to him, ‘Normally at this point you’d pull a knife on me. Is there any cause for concern?’ and he said, ‘No. You look great.’ He asked to follow up at 16 weeks.”
“He wasn’t being a doctor. He was protecting the medical industry.”
“It was the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me. I thought we’d be on Fox news and we’d have a parade down Woodward.”
“With cancer it’s a real fear-based system, a war based mentality, fueled by the fear of cancer and dying and the trilogy of the whole thing is your insurance; that’s what makes it all work. I’ve been diagnosed and cut on within hours. It’s all about coming at you with nuclear weapons and knives.”
“They’re sincere in their actions, they’re just misinformed.”
“They have known that this cures cancer since 1974, and all these things that have happen to me have been since 1974, which means I wouldn’t have had to do any of the things I’ve had to do with western medicine, or the costs that are associated with it, if they had allowed research on cannabis.”
“I cured myself in 90 days in my basement in Ferndale as a patient, come on we can get there in 10 years with labs. We did this! The potheads did it with a rice cooker.” He and Avery are both laughing now. “Come on,” he says, “that’s crazy.”
When I last saw Mike McShane, he was working on healing his HIV with an intense 90 days treatment of Simpson oil. He says he has stopped taking his HIV treatment, which cost about $2000 for one month. He said the only aspect of the treatment he was struggling with was sensitivity to light.
His cancer has not returned.

I saw patient two's arm not 4 weeks ago and I could see no sign of the Squamous lesion. In fact, all I saw was fresh new pink skin and hair growing once again where the lesion was once. I took high res pics of her arm to confirm what my eyes were telling me. Once the biopsy is done and if CBIS release that info, I am sure it will confirm the cancer has been killed off. I have every confidence that CBIS will use the data from the biopsy wisely.
The photos really don't do it justice. I saw with my own eyes how the cancers on patients one and two had been killed off. Quite amazing! Both patients now have fresh new pink skin where one grew a nasty cancer.
The biopsy results for the second patient will be in March.
Darcy Stoddard makes it. She is a grandmother living in California. There is science behind this. Some time back Blair Van Pelt did a study on hemp root healing. See here http://archives.hempembassy.net/hempe/resources/blairvanpeltcannabisroot%20_NXPowerLite_.pdf

I don't run the Nimbin Hemp Embassy, in any way shape or form. I am however on the organising committee for MardiGrass, the biggest cannabis and drug law reform festival in the southern hemisphere. MardiGrass is but one of the many projects of the Nimbin Hemp Embassy.
See http://www.nimbinmardigrass.com/
And I am an honorary member of the Polite Force, a group of Aussie activists who politely take the message of drug law reform to the populace.
The second patient with the Squamous Cell Carcinoma does NOT live in a metropolitan area, hence her need to travel to a major regional hub to get the follow up biopsy done. I would expect the biopsy at the end of the month. There are long delays here in Australia for specialist appointments! How do I know this? Well, I went and visited with the patient 3 weeks ago.
To think that CBIS is manipulating the biopsy is quite wrong, and to suggest otherwise is mischievous.

I know both the first patient and the third patient, who have had success with the cancers. In fact, two weeks ago I met with the gal who had the squamous cell carcinoma on her arm. I saw with my own eyes that the cancer on her arm was gone, with nothing but fresh new pink skin remaining. Also at that meeting was the first patient, another gal with the BCC on her nose. It was quite clear that her cancer was also gone! Quite amazing actually. Both patients are in Australia by the way.
Cannabis Science: How it talks to shareholders
OK, get all the Cheech and Chong jokes out of your system now. Cannabis Science, which develops medicines based on marijuana, just retained Robert Kane, formerly a retail broker at Stifel Nicolaus, to provide IR management.
Cannabis Science is a very real, if small, over-the-counter small-cap company that does R&D in medical marijuana. CEO Robert Melamede is the retired chair of the biology department at the University of Colorado.
Last year, Cannabis Science bought a private company that had both an organic medical marijuana facility and a patented medicine delivery system – a vending machine – that allows patients to purchase medicine in a verified way that provides regulatory documentation.
Work in the medical marijuana industry is currently a thorny pursuit. The efficacy of some of the dozens of substances called phytocannabinoids – found in marijuana – as treatments for pain relief, nausea, glaucoma and some movement disorders is well known in the medical field. Many social and legal pressures can make it difficult to do business with it, however.
For example, just about a third of the states in the US have medical marijuana laws but these are in conflict with federal law. There are a number of countries that have legal medical marijuana use, if not full legalization.
This helps outline the difficulties facing Cannabis Science, even though its research doesn’t involve THC, the active psychotropic substance that governments are trying to regulate.
‘I’m doing the financial projections, rewriting everything for the firm in 2012 to come out with a solid financial plan,’ Kane says. ‘We are a global company, and the global picture and opportunity is huge compared with the domestic. Israel just legalized. A lot of countries in Asia and Europe [have legalized medical uses].’
He points to Sativex, a cannabis-based treatment for multiple sclerosis symptoms from GW Pharmaceuticals, as an example of the increasing business opportunities in the field.
Another challenge for the company is that the vending machine can generate some revenue now, but the real product line will be drugs – and that means clinical trials and FDA approval. Even with the new federal fast track and accelerated approval programs to get drugs to market more quickly, the process would still take some years.
Cannabis Science is looking to restructure its current stock organization to help create more value for shareholders, according to Kane. Even then, however, he admits that sustaining a stock price will require more revenue than the company currently generates.

Mahmoud A. ElSohly, 62, a research professor at the School of Pharmacy at the University of Mississippi, presides over a farm that grows nearly a hundred varieties of marijuana plants. As director of the Marijuana Project, he oversees the only federally approved marijuana plantation in the country. We spoke for two hours in September at his laboratory in Oxford, Miss., and later again by telephone. An edited version of the conversations follows.
Q. WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE MARIJUANA PROJECT DO?
A. Though cannabis had been used by man for thousands of years, it wasn’t until 1964 that the actual chemical structure of the active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol — THC — was determined. That stimulated new research on the plant.
At this laboratory, which began in 1968, we often investigate marijuana’s chemistry. We also have a farm where we grow cannabis for federally approved researchers. Our material is employed in clinical studies around the country, to see if the active ingredient in this plant is useful for pain, nausea, glaucoma, for AIDS patients and so on. For these tests, researchers need standardized material for cigarettes or THC pills. We grow the cannabis as contractors for the National Institute on Drug Abuse — NIDA. And the only researchers who can get our material are those with special permits. We have visitors at the building now and then who ask, “Oh, do you give samples?” We say, “No!”
Q. WHY BOTHER CULTIVATING YOUR OWN MARIJUANA WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATIONS SEIZE BRICKS OF IT EVERY DAY?
A. The most obvious reason is that with confiscated marijuana, you don’t really know what you have. When researchers are performing clinical tests, they must have standardized material that will be the same every time. And it must be safe. You certainly wouldn’t want to give a sick person something sprayed with pesticide or angel dust, substances we’ve detected in some illicit marijuana.
When this project first started in the late 1960s, people thought, “Oh, we’ll get materials for testing after a big bust happens.” So the first batch was acquired that way. They made an extract out of the seized material, and it turned out to be contaminated with tung oil. That brought home the point: if you’re going to do clinical trials on humans, you’d better know what you’re using and where it came from. Hence, our farm.
Another thing: pharmaceutical researchers are often looking at something they call “the dose response.” They want to know what happens to a patient smoking a marijuana cigarette with 1 percent THC versus 2 percent or 8 percent. Without standardized material, you can’t accurately test which produced the best or worst result.
Q. ONE OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AGRONOMY IS TO START WITH GOOD SEEDS. WHERE DO YOUR SEEDS COME FROM?
A. That’s a very good question. Most of the illicit material in the 1960s came from Mexico. So, in collaboration with the D.E.A. and the Mexican government, we acquired those seeds. Later, we acquired others from Colombia, Thailand, Jamaica, India, Pakistan and places in the Middle East. That permitted us to study chemical and botanical differences. By 1976, we were growing about 96 different varieties.
Interestingly, that led us to see that there was only one species of cannabis. It had always been thought that there were many. But you could see that the chemistry of this plant is the same qualitatively no matter where it comes from. What makes each different is the relative proportion of the different chemicals in there, which doesn’t make a different species. It’s really the same species, but different varieties of it. The different types of varieties hybridize very easily.
Q. DOES THIS MEAN THAT ONE COULD MAKE GENETICALLY MODIFIED CANNABIS?
A. Yes. Absolutely. That actually has been the trend over the years in the cultivation in the illicit market, and also in the legal market, where we are doing genetic selection, where we select specific materials that have the genes that produce higher levels of THC or some of the other ingredients.
Q. SO OUT THERE IN RURAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, HAVE THEY BEEN IMPROVING THEIR CROPS WITH MODERN GENETICS?
A. They have been doing genetic selection for years. You can see the potency keeps going up. In the 1970s, the seized marijuana had probably 1 percent or less of the active ingredient. Now, it’s about 8 percent, on the average.
Q. HOW DID YOU COME TO YOUR UNUSUAL SPECIALTY?
A. The honest truth is that it began out of necessity. In 1975, while I was in my last year of graduate school in natural products chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, the Lord provided me with twin daughters. My graduate student stipend was already over, and my adviser said, “You need to quickly find a job.”
So he recommended me for a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Mississippi’s Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. My first job here had to do with poison ivy. Then a better-paying position opened up at the Marijuana Project, and I moved to that. I liked the research, and I got on well with my supervisor and mentor, Dr. Carlton Turner, who later became the director of drug abuse policy in the Reagan White House. So, this work, it just happened.
Q. DO YOUR NEIGHBORS EVER KID YOU ABOUT YOUR JOB?
A. My daughters, when they were in grade school, the teachers would ask them, “What does your father do?” And they’d say, “He grows marijuana.” And the teachers’ eyes would grow wide. After a while, my daughters said: “He works at the University of Mississippi. He’s a professor.”
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: December 24, 2008
A question-and-answer interview on Tuesday with Mahmoud A. Elsohly, who grows marijuana for research purposes, overstated the role of one government agency in the research. Although the National Institute on Drug Abuse does indeed contract with Dr. ElSohly’s laboratory to grow the cannabis for federally approved researchers, it does not issue permits to the researchers. (As the article noted, the Drug Enforcement Administration does.)
Yes mate, I agree. I will go back to simply reading posts here. I appreciate your advice.
Yes he is - in Colorado.
lol I sorta chuckled at those old posts of mine. And yes they could be deemed immature. I have no justification other than to let you know I have a rare recessive gene, shared by most stoners, called The Peter Pan Gene. I am just a big kid at heart and an old hippie to boot. I am human and I goof too lol
Look folks, this forum can be helpful and it works best when flaming and personal attacks do not take place. Everyone has differing opinions and I like to see folks use some intellect when sharing or debating. At the end of the day, I hope CBIS does well. I bought in before I knew Dr Bob, and my investment was always going to be a speculative investment.
Namste.
ps I still do not trust Kubby. He messed over a friend of mine.
But I ask you, what purpose does it serve to make outrageous comments like what you have said. It is simply mischievous and quite immature. Sure, justify however you wish, but comments such as yours disgust me. I have seen too many people have good reputations tarnished by faceless individuals on obscure websites, to sit by and see it happen to a friend of mine.
Perhaps if you posted YOUR real identity here and let's have it out n the open. I stand by my open activism and have not hidden behind anonymous user names for some years now.
If you have something to say about Bob, do it under your own name. That gives a fair playing field IMO.
I was never asked to be a mod. I see myself as a novice investor. So as to pls you I have happily removed myself as a mod.
I have always been open about my friendship with Dr Bob. I brought him here to Australia to assist us with a push for mmj in Oz. We never talk internal CBIS business. That is a fact.
I'm not going to delete this post but I suggest you are on unsafe ground legally to be making such accusations about the CEO and company expenditure on sexual activities. You may be a nameless entity here but you could well be charged with libel.
li·bel/'lib?l/
Verb: Defame (someone) by publishing a libel.
Noun: A published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation
Eccentric folks who can not spell have been doing wondrous things for mankind for many many centuries. Don is doing something that NO other person is doing in the world, and there is no model to follow on how it should be done. We are dealing with an Asian culture here that has been using industrial hemp and high THC strains for thousands of years. Queen Sirikit is determined to restore what the US Government took away. TCC and CBIS are now part of this process.
We can either sit and nit pick about how Don spells or what he posts about HAARP, or simply support the man and his dream. Damn, I post some out there stuff myself at FaceBook.
I do not take your moral inventory, and I do not expect others to take mine, or Don's.
I have it on good authority from Don Land that meetings did in fact take place with Thai Government officials at the very highest level. Also, this venture in Thailand has the endorsement and patronage of Queen Sirikit.
It is entirely appropriate to respect the confidentiality of these meetings until the Thai Govt says it is ok to go public with more details.
Further, some 10 years ago Queen Sirikit decreed that Thailand should return to a hemp based economy, including the implementation of a medical cannabis program.. Sadly, there was not the infrastructure in place to bring this into fruition. It has only been in recent years, and with the help of TCC and CBIS that this decree from Queen Sirikit can now become reality. There are many issues to deal with, not the least being disentangling Thailand from restrictive UN treaty obligations.
See here:
I take your point and I will be very careful with my words. It was my intention to stop posting here but that would be a negative action on my part, as I feel I do have something to contribute here. My reputation as a mod is one of being fair and patient and honest.
Re the Trinidad Scorpion, that is one mean chili lol. I know Neal very well, the owner of the Hippy Seed Company. He makes some of the hottest sauces in the world. Neal and I were both ordained in the Cannabis Ministry at the same time. Bet you didn't know I was a reverend lol
There is a series of terrific videos on his Youtube site that show him doing tests on these super hot chillies.
My fave is this -
This is the first CORRECT observation of the true facts. Thank you mate.
I was not asked about being a mod, although I am honoured to be listed as one. I would prefer to simply be a poster here. I already mod at several cannabis sites and simply don't have the time.
A magic moment in cannabis law reform.
You will find Dr Bob in this large group in Australia. Free the weed and change the law.
Regards to you from MardiGrass in Australia
You have to understand that where I am is 17 hours ahead of you in North America. When a press release is made on my side of the world it takes time for the wire services to pick up the press release. It was co-incidental that I saw the news on facebook first (posted from Thailand), and it is sad that due to time lags twixt countries in Oceania, some folks then make claims of inside knowledge. That is simply untrue.
Further, while Bob is a friend of mine, we simply do not discuss internal company business, so that we do not compromise the friendship. When Bob was with me in Australia he was here to help us educate folks about mmj, not to promote CBIS.
Yes, that is the post I saw and posted here.
News just in re CBIS and Thailand. This was just posted at Facebook in advance of the formal press release from CBIS.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBIS), a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, is pleased to announce meetings with Thai Cannabis Corp. and senior government officials and advisors regarding environmental and commercial benefits of medical cannabis.
Robert Melamede, Ph.D., Cannabis Science’s CEO stated, “It was amazing to meet with enlightened government officials who recognize the health, environmental, and commercial benefits of hemp and medical cannabis. Thailand now leads the world in having created intelligent policies so that the Thai people, and others from around the world, will benefit from the health promoting properties of the cannabis plant that have been so foolishly suppressed by American led policies of fear and ignorance.”
Cannabis Science and our associates in Thailand are constructing a business relationship that will allow for clinical trials to take place in Thailand with approval of the Thai governmental. The intent is to formalize a mutually beneficial partnership that will create a medical cannabis tourism industry. Concurrently, Thailand will serve as a staging ground for Cannabis Science to test and develop our products as we move towards our ultimate goal of U.S. FDA approved cannabis-extract-based medicines. The Thai people will benefit from our collaborative effort. Income and knowledge generated by medical cannabis tourism will offset medical costs for the Thai people. It should be noted that Thailand, with a population of approximately 68 million, already has a first class medical system that draws patients from around the world. By establishing a medical cannabis tourism industry anyone from anywhere in the world will be able to benefit from the integration of medical cannabis into a modern health care system. Cancer patients will be able to stay in resorts where they will receive holistic care that will include special diets and exercise in a physically and mentally supporting, health promoting environment.
Exactly! Keep the faith is what I say.
Dr Bob arrives back in Australia today and flies into Canberra tonight.
I agree mate. I will say that there may be other significantly good news coming out of Thailand before the Aussie news ;)
Well, I have to say that really focuses things doesn't it lol. Keep in mind that the Health Minister has 28 days to respond to Amanda's questions in the ACTLA. Until there is a response from Katie Gallagher (Health Minister), nothing can move forward but I would assume that there is a strategy to move forward with.
