Cannabis against cancer

Description

This book offers a factual and well-founded overview of the current state of science on the therapeutic potential of cannabis ingredients in various cancers and their practical medical application.

Scientific studies have shown that the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.) and many cannabis compounds have anti-cancer properties, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), but also some other lesser-known cannabinoids and terpenes. Many cancer patients are looking for alternatives and complementary natural treatment methods to standard medical procedures in cancer therapy and are pinning their hopes on treatment with cannabis products. However, the information on the subject in the media is often contradictory and misleading. This book provides answers to the questions of which cannabinoids can be used, which doses should be used, which preparations are useful, which combinations with standard therapies are promising and why different types of cancer require a different approach.
