the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and women especially need to know that they have choices when it comes to their health and conquering one of the biggest enemies of our modern world. In closing remarks, consider these statements from Dr. Sircus, author of Cannabis Cures Cancer:

“Cannabinoids are found to exert their anti-cancer effects in a number of ways and in a variety of tissues by:

1. Triggering cell death, through a

mechanism called apoptosis

2. Stopping cells from dividing

3. Preventing new blood vessels

from growing into tumors

4. Reducing the chances of cancer

cells spreading through the body

by stopping cells from moving or

invading neighboring tissue

5. Speeding up the cell’s internal

'waste disposal machine’ – a

process known as autophagy-

which can lead to cell death

All these effects are thought to be caused by cannabinoids locking onto the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Almost daily we are seeing new or confirming evidence that Cannabinoids can be used to greatly benefit in cancer treatment of many types.”
