Why aren’t we considering more alternative cancer care options?
I eliminated Basal Cell Carcinoma using topical cannabis oils in less than a month.
Here’s the story:
It’s human nature to feel we are immune to the “things that happen to other people.” When reality comes to roost, we are faced with having to make informed decisions or to follow along with the protocols suggested by our medical team.
With an easy-to-tan Eastern European olive complexion, I honestly never worried about skin cancer. My father lived to 98 with no skin cancer issue — even though he spent decades under the sun in Acapulco following retirement, without ever using any kind of sunblock. I just assumed that I had inherited his “immunity” along with his olive complexion.
So I was shocked when the physician’s assistant asked me how long did I have that “brown spot on my nostril.” He took a biopsy, but warned me that he was quite certain I had a basal cell carcinoma. The lab report confirmed the same a few days later.
(Note: A carcinoma, unlike a melanoma, is non-life-threatening, but can spread and lead to skin loss. In severe cases, when left untreated, it can require amputation of an appendage like the nose or ear.)
On follow-up, my dermatologist suggested Moh’s surgery, which is typically an all-day appointment where, after excising the growth, they keep digging and examining the dermal layers to make sure there are no cancer cells remaining. There is discomfort, potentially disfiguring facial scars, and then skin grafting (usually from ear cartilage) to fill in the cavity.
The doctor then offered a prescription for a chemotherapeutic ointment to apply, which she said might work by ulcerating the skin and removing the carcinoma.
I declined both options and told her that I would like to try an alternative treatment. My plan was to topically apply Rick Simpson Oil, aka RSO, every day and recheck three months later.
Created by a Canadian named Rick Simpson to treat his own skin cancer, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a thick, resinous, form of high-purity, cannabinoid and terpene-rich full-spectrum hashish that has effectively treated a variety of ailments including cancer, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, MRSA, inflammation, high blood pressure, depression and insomnia.
Mr. Simpson does not sell RSO; instead, he encourages patients to make their own using his formula at https://phoenixtears.ca/producing-the-oil/ . You’ll find a wealth of valuable information on his site. Less adventurous souls can usually find RSO at their cannabis dispensary.
In addition to the RSO or FECO (full-extract cannabis oil, a slightly different extraction and preparation method that can also be used topically and taken internally), I incorporated two additional treatments into my daily care that were recommended by graduates of the Natural Wellness Academy’s Medical Cannabis Coaching Certification — (1) a homemade astringent (made of fresh eggplant and apple cider vinegar and (2) applying directly to the spot organic pure Frankincense oil from Plant Therapy, a reasonably-priced and high quality brand.
I applied all 3 of these faithfully, each one 2X per day. First, the astringent, a drop of RSO, and later on, a drop of Frankincense oil.
On the 10th day, when I blotted that inner nostril area with the vinegar/eggplant astringent on a cotton pad, I felt a stinging for the first time. I looked in the mirror every which way and did not detect the presence of the brown spot. It was gone! But well aware that there could be cancer cells underneath, I continued the protocol every day until my 3-month follow-up with the dermatologist. I told her what happened, and she verified this by looking at it with a magnifier and confirming that there was no visible carcinoma.
I feel very fortunate that I avoided uncomfortable surgery and the aftereffects of a chemo ointment. However, I also wonder how many people could be getting these same results if they only knew about the incredible healing power of medical cannabis.
The University of Indiana says 40.000 American lives could be saved every year with medical cannabis. But sadly, there is very little mainstream information (or US-based research) about medical cannabis.
Florida, where I reside, offers medical marijuana through prescription, but most prescribing physicians as well as the sales clerks at the dispensaries lack comprehensive training regarding the confusing variety of products, delivery systems, and cannabinoid composition called terpenes, which vary in each plant and product. We described this “gap in care” in a blog on this site, where we agree that with the right education, adults and seniors can take the mentoring they receive from their coaches and use it to become their own greatest advocates.
Inspired by a friend who had been helping cancer patients using an extremely concentrated form of cannabis oil, with impressive results, I realized the need for more awareness and education around natural and effective treatments for both topical and internal forms of cancer.
In 2017, the Natural Wellness Academy (NWA) launched one of the world’s first Medical Cannabis Coaching Certifications and has since graduated a wealth of passionate and qualified advocates for Medical Cannabis. We’re proud to say many consider NWA the world’s top medical cannabis training program.
As a relatively new field, Medical Cannabis research is constantly developing new treatments, applications, and protocols. Though the United States is gaining ground as legal restrictions regarding marijuana change, Israel leads the way in medical Cannabis research, and medical cannabis is an integral part of their health care system.
Natural Wellness Academy students and graduates are continuously updated on the latest cutting-edge research and developments in the field.
Curing skin lesions (carcinoma/melanoma) with cannabis is only the tip of the iceberg in the many ways this miracle plant can improve one’s life.
