At the conference presented by
Dr. David Hepburn entitled "Cannabis and Cancer: the Promise,
Potential and Practical Possibilities" Dr. Hepburn presented different points of view and promising
advances in science on how cannabis could help against cancer. At the beginning
Dr. David Hepburn established that
has been several studies from serious institutions like The National Cancer
Institute or NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse)
Dr. David Frederick Hepburn mention “In June of 2015 cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells that
is from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institute of Health
United States” as well as a study of NIDA Dr. Hepburn quote “they have even
said that the whole plant of marijuana can slow the growth of cancer cells one
of the most serious forms of brain tumors.
Dr. Hepburn is aware
that in terms of research and development there is still much to be done to
give medical cannabis the relevance it deserves in the world of cancer, but
emphasizes that all these conservatives institutes “are acknowledging the fact
that there have been a lot of preclinical and experimental studies with animals
and now some clinical that are showing the promise potential and the
possibilities that exist with cannabis in the world of cancer”
During his participation in
Cannabis Life Dr. David Hepburn also
stressed that "it is important to know that every one of us has cannabis
in our bloodstream and that is an important concept to understand if you want
to know how cannabis works as a medicine" This is in fact our
endocannabinoids.
Dr. David Frederick Hepburn explains:
“The endocannabinoids system
is a series of what we call
neurotransmitters receptors and enzymes that work together to make to bring us
to a balance to homeostasis to a middle ground where we are healthy it helps us
to eat, sleep, relax protect and don´t forget important things, it also helps
us to avoid vomiting all day long” so if you do not understand the
endocannabinoids system then you do not understand cannabis
In this way Dr. David Hepburn stressed the
importance of continuing to investigate the benefits of medicinal cannabis, in
particular for cancer treatments.
