The Cannabis Cancer Connection: How to use cannabis and hemp to kill cancer cells

Book Synopsis: Dr. Joe Goldstrich provides patients, doctors, healthcare professionals, and researchers with everything they need to know about the cannabis-cancer connection, including best practices and protocols, through a comprehensive review of the scientific research and the lessons learned from his patients' anecdotal success and failure stories. In addition to cannabis, current information on psychology, diet, exercise, and off-label drugs as powerful complementary therapeutic tools for increasing the odds of beating cancer are also included. Over 400 references support the science behind cannabis’ ability to act as a cancer-killing medicine. The research is presented in easy-to-understand language enhanced by case histories and insights from personal experience. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap between traditional cancer care and what patients are learning about and doing at home without the guidance of medical professionals. The goal is to inform patients and their doctors about the potential of cannabis to fight cancer and achieve the best possible outcomes. The reader will learn how preclinical research can be translated into clinically useful strategies. Where human research is available, it is also presented. Combining cannabis with traditional chemotherapy is discussed as an alternative strategy, as this may also improve the odds.“All the current evidence points to a future where cannabis-derived treatments can be an effective adjunctive, and in some situations, first-line strategy for killing cancer... This book also recognizes that patients with cancer are not willing or able to wait for a decade of forthcoming research – they need a compendium of today’s most relevant information, distilled by a medical expert with real-world experience and translated into a guide accessible to both clinicians and lay people. Fortunately, you hold such a book in your hand.” –Dustin Sulak, DO“Rare is the ability to speak to both doctors and patients, but Dr. Joe threads the needle. This book is a must-read for every medical cannabis provider.” - Barry Gordon, MD Read more
