CBD oil to help with cancer

[Thedolph]

Hi I'm wondering if any one can help me. I'm 6 yrs down the line on tamoxifen. I've had a totall hysterectomy 2 yrs ago. I really want to come off the tamoxifen as I've reduced my levels by having the hysterectomy, just want to ask if any one just takes cbd oil instead of taking tablets.

[buddyfan]

I've been looking too. Join CBD Consumers fb page, they have a wealth of info. Also, leave 2hrs between meds and CBD.

[Jasper]

My friend and I are both cancer survivors and I have had side effects from radiotherapy 9 months still ongoing. We are both wanting to start Cbd oil but are worried about it being tampered with. Did you look on internet where to purchase from. Any small amount will help both us, thank you for reading jo

[Linda Corinne]

Red Robbins where do you get cannabis oil from please as I can't pm you. Take.

Hi 

my partner has just had a mastectomy - the tumor was quite large 92 mm & of 16 lymph nodes removed 7 were found to be cancerous - she has just had a c t scan & marrowbone scan & if the results show the cancer has not spread then she should start chemotherapy next Friday. We have a supply of cannabis oil but my partner is reluctant to start taking it fearing the oil will compromise the effects of chemotherapy - do you have any advice that might help her to decide whether to take the oil alongside her chemotherapy treatment. She is 48 years old & is opting to use the cold cap during chemotherapy hoping this might help hair loss.

thank you in advance

kind regards

Jonathan

Hi Maria909

Some reports suggest that CBD oil might help some people who have cancer - it does seem to help with some of the side-effects of chemo for instance.   haven't seen any proper medical studies that suggest that it's a good idea to use it *instead of* Tamoxifen.  It's okay to try it alongside the treatment your doctor recommends, but Tamoxifen is a very highly researched drug and is proven to be effective for breast cancer.

Tamoxifen works by blocking the production of the hormones that were in effect feeding your hormone positive cancer.  Studies show that taking Tamoxifen (or similar, ie Letrozole)  blocks the uptaken and production of hormones, and people live longer and are less likely to have a re-occurance.   

I have been on Tamoxifen for 3 years now. I have to take it for ten years.  I took cbd oil when I was having chemo and I do think it helped a bit with the sickness.  Tamoxifen is estimated to be giving me a 25% increased  chance of survival over five years.  I had a 2.8cm lump , very hormone sensitive, and 6/17 lymph nodes positive. So for me, I think Tamoxifen will increase my chances of surviving.  And I hate taking tablets too!

Best wishes

I would avoid THC.  I've seen people swear that you need high THC but I've heard horror stories from women with estrogen receptor cancers who say THC was fuel to a fire.    I've been looking at a site called Realm of Caring for products they recommend and through them I found Charlotte's Web.  HIgh CBD/low to no THC.   I only JUST ordered it, can't speak to any healing properties, but I wish us all the best of success.

[hoonay]

From what I've been able to learn, if you are ER+, HER+ OR triple positive, then you do NOT want anything with THC.   There's talk of THC actually almost boosting estrogen, not the CBD.  I'm only newly diagnosed, but I'm looking at Charlotte's Web for my oil.

I  have just had breast cancer surgery, they can't at present give me radiation treatment because they found a shadow/nodule on my lung plus I cant have hormone treatment as I have osteoporosis, so I really want the oil that can help. Thank you

[Ziplizzie]

I have just had surgery for breast cancer and am awaiting scan results on my lung for a shadow/nodule. I want to get the oil used for treating cancer.

I am really interested in this grade A oil. How can I get it please and what is the cost. Thank you

[hayley.]

I would be grateful if anyone could get me some good and effective oil.  My husband has terminal cancer which has now spread to his brain.  Chemotherapy and radiotherapy have now failed to work and this is his last chance.  Please can someone help

[Shawniex]

Sharon glegg where can I get some that’s quite strong my grandad has terminal cancer and been give 12 m to live ?

[Livelife]

Hi I have HER2 + Breast cancer and am looking for the best oil I can get.
From what I understand cbd is legal but you need to make sure you are getting at least 30% cbd in the oil you are buying so the ones on eBay and in Health shops are not strong enough.
I think I also need THC but that’s what is illegal to buy and to take but I would break the law to save my life.
If anyone could give me any info I will be so grateful.
Thank you 😊

[Alibobs]

Does cbd oil encourage the development of oestrogen?

[Peardrop]

Hi there,

I'm really interested in getting some good quality CBD oil to use for my breast cancer. Could you give me details of where you got it from?

[Mai7]

This site gives some advice on dosage and suggests starting lower and increasing slowly:  https://www.cureyourowncancer.org/dosage.html

[Mai7]

I buy mine from here https://canabidol.com/
Top quality manufacturer. Obviously sold as a health food with no medical claims as products have to be licensed for medicinal use. There is positive research on CBD oil but no clinical trial/ medical investment.

[Butchie]

I would be grateful of any help with good CBD oil ,  a good friend of the family has terminal cancer and has been given 6 months to live.

I have been diagnosed with LCIS and am looking into the use of CBD oil. I went to Amsterdam recently and asked there about CBD oil. The good news is that cannabis oil does seen to have a positive impact on health...I totally get that there is not enough research to give assurances.... the bad news though is that to be effective the CBD needs to be at least 20% and in the UK the maximum is only about 3%..Of course you can buy the seeds- the really helpful people in the cannabis seeds shops told me exactly which ones....but it's illegal in the UK to grow it....and having looked into this...it all seems complicated and it's not like you can nip to your local "growing weed?" Shop to ask for advice.....I have decided therefore to use the 3% CBD oil which can be bought in the UK.....continue with my health regime - I also take Reishi mushrooms, exercise & don't drink alcohol....and keep my fingers crossed.....

Hi Mai7

You're right that article is all a bit mixed up on the info it gave on Tamoxifen and CBD oil receptors. Dropping it under the tongue and vaping it doesn't make any difference, the receptors are not in the digestive system.   The receptor they are talking about is an enzyme that is secreted by your liver - enzyme CYP2D6 is responsible for the metabolism and removal of approximately 25% of clinically used drugs.   So any drug that you take by any means, meets up with the liver receptor enzymes eventually.   

The 'conflict' they're talking about is how fast, or how slow a drug is removed from your system by this enzyme.  

If you go to the wikipedia article on CYP2D6 you can see a list of all of the drugs that speed up or slow down based on these enzyme levels.  CBD oil is down as an inhibitor, which means that using it would slow down the speed that Tamoxifen is removed from the body.  I'd be more worried if it super speeded it up.  

If you're at all concerned go have a chat with your local pharmacist about it, you could show him or her the article on CYP2D6 and ask him or her to explain it.  My brother is a pharmacist and that's how I got my head around it all. 

My take on it all is that it seems okay to take CBD oil by any means, drops or vape.

I believe there are already a number of serious studies into the effect of CBD and cannabis on cancer, so hopefully they'll work out whether it has any serious benefits in the not to distant future. 

[Raz89]

Can anybody tell me how much mg per day of cbd a cancer patient should be taking? Or the range.

[Mai7]

Here is a recent article about CBD oil followed by the website I've purchased from: https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/grandmother-says-cancer-almost-gone-967552

https://canabidol.com/

I put a couple of small drops under my tongue so it absorbs quickly into the blood stream. I also vape it to get it into the blood stream. I read somewhere that there may be a conflict in the liver between tamoxifen and CBD oil trying to compete for the same receptors and the CBD oil may block the tamoxifen. Dropping it under the tongue and vaping it avoids it entering the digestive system and the liver processing it into the bloodstream, it gets in direct instead. I only read about the tamoxifen clash on one website which wasn't a particularly reliable source so it could be complete garbage.

Hello, I just wanted to know how many mg do you take of the cbd oil?

[Honey]

I see a lot of people using charlottes web. I am considering this, but have seen that it is very important to make sure that ratios are correct. In view of this - is it really safe to be taking? ER positive and HER2 receptive

[Gabbles]

Hi!!

My mother has been diagnosed with GBM GRADE IV.

She was taking the charlottes web cbd oil but was told to come off it now she’s started chemo tablets (temodal)

Does anyone know if she can carry on using cbd oil with chemo? As I feel our oncologist didn’t know much about ir.

[Gabbles]

Hi msgooner,

Did you find out?? My mother has just started chemo tablets temadol. She has GBM brain tumour. She was taking Charlottes web cbd oil before but the doctor said not to
Take it with the chemo tablets???

Did you find out any info? As if it helps we would like her to continue the cbd oil along with the chemo.

Hope you can help

Hello. I need a oil frim my father.he has lung cancer stage 4. I really appreaciate from where i can order a good one. I do not woant to order from a doggy website. Please pm me. Thank you

[Bnopse]

Hi - I'm also confused about the labelling of CBD:

to a layperson what does this actually mean:

10ml = 500mg Whole Plant Extract >30% CBD = 150mg CBD (1.5%)

To me it's saying that in every 500mg of dried extract the cbd content is at or greater than 30%, thus in a 10ml bottle it's 150mg, and in a 30ml bottle it's 450mg cbd (3x 150mg).

But why does it indicate in brackets 1.5%? 1.5% of what?

And what is the carrier oil (if there is one)? 

Am I correct in saying that a 10ml bottle contains an extract of cbd oil that is 30% strength but that it is mixed in a solution of a.n.other oil and is so diluted that the bottle contains now 1.5% actual cbd oil?

Clarification required to assist me through this minefield of purchasing please.

Many thanks

[Ktkat]

Hi Zena, I'm looking into taking cbd oil. But I don't know if it is safe to take with tamoxifen. Are you taking tamoxifen as well?
Thanks

[Caroll511966]

Hi red robin, im having 8 cycles of chemo fect for bc, 3 down 5 to go. My next one is 22nd Nov. Did you say you waited until you finished your chemo until you took the oil. I've purchased some from HB but not sure if I should take it now until ive finished my treatment thanks

Could anyone recommend a website that I could buy cbd oils from that would target breast cancer? Highly rated type place that offers delivery within the UK?

[Maria909]

I have just had a small tumour removed from my breast and am awaiting radiotherapy. I have also been advised to take tamoxifen for 5 years but am worried about the side effects. I have heard that cannabis oil is good for reducing the risk of cancer. Would this be better to take than tamoxifen and where do I get it?

[cm1]

Hello

Try using the " black edition" from CBD brothers, 3 droplets under tongue every morning...do not swallow, at least allow to metabolize under tongue for 30 seconds or more, then swallow.

Hi, I just wondered if anybody would know if any of the products sold at CBDbrothers.com would be suitable for topical use?  I was considering applying it directly to my skin instead of taking it orally where the breast cancer is on my chest wall (I have just completed radiotherapy).  I would obviously leave it for a little while until the skin has settled before applying anything but I was interetsed in trying this as I had been reading about topical use of CBD oil.  I have got a CBD oil cream through amazon but that is only 1% CBD oil - I am not really sure what strength I should be using topically but that seems very low and somebody said that it is better to use pure oil rather than a cream but I am not sure about that.   If anybody had any additional information about topical use of CBD oil and what might be suitable I would be very grateful.  Thank you very much.

[cm1]

https://cbdbrothers.com are the very best....and the white edition is suitable for post operative/chemo/herceptin as a natural anti proliferative 

[SB1]

Thanks for the advice! I'm glad CBD is helping. Where do you buy your CBD oil? I have found a few places online. I thought this place looked good - https://www.healthrack.co.uk/health-supplements/vitamins/cbd , but I have no idea what I am looking for and at what prices.
