CBIS News just Out - Cannabis Science Updates Second Medical Cannabis Cancer Patient Suffering from Squamous Cell Carcinoma Photo-documents Cannabis Extracts Killing Cancerous Tumor
Business Wire "Press Releases - English"
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) a pioneering U.S. biotech company
developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products, is very pleased
to announce that the second patient suffering from basal cell carcinoma
(skin cancer) has self-administered cannabis extracts that appear to
have eradicated the cancer.
Following up on the December 12, 2011 news release regarding a second
cancer patient self-administering cannabis extract, this patient has now
given the photo-documented dramatic results of treatment process. These
images can be viewed on the www.cannabisscience.com
website. While the treatment has been completed and the cancer seems to
be gone, Cannabis Science is waiting for a full biopsy report from the
physician to confirm the patient is free of cancer cells.
Currently it appears that the aforementioned patient will be able to
avoid any surgical procedures such as, standard surgical excision (Mohs
Surgery), and other various types of treatment for skin cancer, like
chemotherapy, radiation, and cryosurgery, by using the cannabis
extracts, just like the first patient mentioned in our March 9, 2011
news release.
While other treatment options may be effective for many, few patients
would choose to go through a surgical procedure, and endure the side
effects of radiation, or chemotherapy if a simpler and safer alternative
were available. Patients self-administering cannabis extracts in the
convenience of their own home appear to be effectively resolving their
cancerous lesions over a period of a few weeks to a few months.
Cannabis Science is committed to making cannabis-based medicines
available to the public as rapidly as possible. The Company is taking
multiple approaches to accomplishing this aim in the United States. The
science of cannabinoids has exploded over the past decade, laying the
scientific foundation for the many medicinal uses of this unique plant.
Endoannabinoids are a class of biologically active lipid compounds
produced by all vertebrates (endocannabinoids) the Cannabis plant
(phytocannabinoids), and more recently patentable synthetic compounds
produced by chemists. Todays modern peer-reviewed science supports the
many historical uses that were discovered over thousands of years of
medicinal use by herbalists.
