Hemp Oil/Marijuana Chemotherapy interaction?

Hello. Does anyone know a doctor who can let my mom know that Hemp Oil is not going to interact with Chemo treatments in a negative way? She is currently on Camptosar, Cisplatin, Herceptin, vitamin 12, Hydrocodone, Protonix, and Bethanechol. We are thinking about Rick Simpson's alternative treatement in conjuction with regular chemo to completely rid of the cancer. We plan to use high CBD strains of cannabis to counter the psychoactive effects of high dosages.

She has slightly lower blood pressure, acid reflux, nausea, and some numbing of the hands. Other than that, she is fine.

Any open minded doctors here or know of one?

    I agree with TonyMoe... I'd put them off on the chemo for a few weeks to try the hemp oil first.

    I don't know if Rick's treatment works or not, but I've been talking with some people who seriously believe it works.

    Try contacting Phoenix Tears and see if they can recommend someone. Or get in touch with Dr. Robert Melameade at the U of Colorado @ C.S. He teaches a class on cannabinoids. Maybe he knows someone.

    One thing is for sure...

    Chemo no good for you.

    Ok first of all hemp is NOT pot/cannabis/marijuana, they are not even the same plant. It does have THC in it but no matter how much hemp you eat or smoke you can NOT get high. Industrial hemp has a THC content of between 0.05 and 1% and THC is what gives you a buzz. If hemp could get you high they would not sell hemp in the US, but I will say smoking it CANT be good for your lungs. You can find hemp milk in the Kroger's health section. A lot of people do not know this...

    Marijuana and hemp have been used as medicine for who knows how long and HEMP is so good for you in just one 8-Ounce glass of organic hemp milk there is:

    900mg Omega-3 Fatty Acid

    2800mg Omega-6 Fatty Acid

    All 10 Essential Amino Acids

    4 grams of Digestible Protein

    46% of RDA of Calcium

    0% Cholesterol

    Potassium

    Phosphorous

    Riboflavin

    Vitamin A

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin B12

    Folic Acid

    Vitamin D

    Magnesium

    Iron

    Zinc

    And more…

    So after saying all this I would really encourage you and your mom to look in to it more and also take a look at these.

    I have a friend undergoing yet another round of horrible chemotherapy for squamous cell cancer - started in head/neck, now is covering lungs. Going thru MD Anderson for 3 chemo treatments to see if this mix of chemo makes a difference. This particular chemo is causing great pain issues, inability to walk, seizing of muscles, etc. Loss of potassium and magnesium is being addressed by doctor with fluids before and following chemo treatment, which is once every 3 weeks. Each time, the after-effects are worsening. He takes Percocet for pain, but has RSHO Hemp CBD oil and wonders if this may help him with pain issues, as opposed to going to morphine-based product. Has not asked his physician as he feels physician may deride him for even thinking of this. I see it as a possible alternative, but would be as hesitant as him in trying in WITH chemo treatment. My question is: Has anyone experienced use of this to relieve pain issues using Hemp CBD oil? What, if any complications arise from this, if you did use? If you did use, what levels of relief did it give you?

    I suggest your mom gets off chemo and starts the hemp oil treatment. Chemo is meant to take life not to increase chance of beating cancer

    Obviously Tonymoe has never had cancer and may not even be all that intelligent when it comes to having to actually make this decision for himself one day. The govt isn't out to bury a secret cure, as many are claiming. Mention Hemp oil to your mom's doctor and watch his face as he tries not to snicker at the foolish suggestion. Best to your mom.

    Like I said before, she's gonna make herself more prone to secondary infections and diseases which she's already susceptible to because of the chemo. Talk to her and see why she's drinking again, call her oncologist's office and ask a general question about chemo and alchohol. Then let them know that your MIL is drinking heavily. They might give you more info.

    I have NEVER heard of pot as a cure for any cancer(I research cancer therapy as a hobby). It is ok to help with nausea in some people(It didn't help mine).Have the efficacies of the hemp oil been shown to treat the breast cancer in any legitimate studies? If they have done surgery (resection of the breast /tumor excision) and now administered the chemo what is the need for further treatment beyond some followup radiation? I would focus more on good nutrition and getting her strength back up.

    Source(s): I have a close family member dying right now from using an "alternative" breast cancer treatment. I am a survivor of advanced cancer and a biological researcher.
