The Endocannabinoid System and How THC Cures Cancer.. By Marco Torres
There are close to 20,000 studies on
cannabinoids in the pubmed database. Few
scientists who concentrate their work around
cannabinoids can deny the tremendous
therapeutic potential of cannabis. Dr.
The endocannabinoid system is a group of
receptors in the brain that are involved in a
variety of physiological processes including
appetite,
pain-sensation,
mood,
and
memory; it mediates many physiological
processes, including motor learning,
synaptic plasticity, and appetite.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
maintains our biological systems by
regulating each cell tissue. It uses
Arachidonic acid/Omega 6 to make EndoCannabinoids:

Cannabis mimics the ECS by providing
Cannabinoids when there is an Arachidonic
acid deficiency or Clinical Cannabinoid
Deficiency.

least in all vertebrate phyla, and present in
the structure of receptors and in their
function, also in invertebrates, thus implying
its participation in vital functions in almost
all organisms.

including the altered consciousnesses,
confusion and anxiety. Patients with several
different forms of cancer have been able to
use this oil topically and internally to force
cancerous cells to kill themselves. This often
had a higher success rate than chemotherapy
and radiation therapies. While these
traditional therapies destroy cancer cells,

indiscriminately. Medicinal cannabis kills
only cancer cells and leaves healthy tissue
intact giving the patient better chances of
recovery. Medicinal cannabis has also been
therapeutic for treatment of chronic pain,
inflammation, muscle spasms, intestinal
disorders and more.
