crackpot or cure?

if the above has credit, then a lot of cancer patients should be allowed access to medical herb; and firstly they should know what is the truth rather than what we were told growing up, that "ganja kills!!!". death penalty for selling a plant is ridiculous. a plant that has anti-inflamatory properties, anti-cancer, helps with nausea, pain and increase appetite, not to mention make a person feel better. and plus is a lot less addictive than morphine which the hospital use for 'pain relieve'. why? why so many people suffer when there is a natural herb that can (at the very least) ease the living time of cancer patients?

yes, big pharma don't give a damn about a person's life, patients are just cash cows until they expire. And some of you know that conventional doctors got 3 option - cut, burn or poison. basically when it comes to cancer, doctors are like the salesman for the pharma companies, and i don't trust them. don't tell me they are thinking about The Hippocratic Oath when the are prescribing treatment costing thousands of dollars a month.

please read up and google "marijuana, cancer cures". i know in this country is maybe life in prison/death penalty for marijuana/ganja but people have to see that a medical herb alternative may offer an option that normal pharma 'drugs' cannot. and more importantly, to slowly change the mindset of people. in future, maybe cancer patients don't have to suffer they way they do now. maybe years from now, the law and people will be sensible enough to allow for medical marijuana, assuming a 'cure' remains absent.

my mum died of liver cancer years back. reading this thread today made me recall my emotions, feel so......monumentally f***ed up. like maybe some others, i was so blind. my mum took transfer factor and chemo. i thought she would recover and then start cooking dinner for us again. stoopid stoopid stoopid!!! i don't know if medical herb could have cured my mum (nothing can stop death, right?) but at least it would have made her remaining days more comfortable, definitely.

also, my family have cancer record (grandma gone already, mum gone already, sis) and all don't drink, smoke or eat all kind of processed food or crap stuff. is it genetics? but i know my mum had a lot of stress and emotional baggage. i read about this from the cancercare link someone put, think it may help for someone

and what myremi wrote here "....my only advice is that you would have to be positive for your mother. You can try drawing her attention away from the cancer by bringing her magazines, books, telling her what's happening in your life, etc. Anything to distract her mind and behaving it's a normal day because they would like normalcy. Touch her - this more than anything else will show that you love her. Hug her often. Occasionally have meals together with her just like it's a normal day. Even if she protested hard, deep down the appreciation is there that you are eating with her together. With stomach cancer, I'm not sure what kind of food that both of you can share together but drinks also helps. Eating alone can be extremely depressing." sure wish you had written this years earlier. i didn't thank my mum for all the things she did, aye karamba.....yes, a lot of should have, ......but i cannot turn back time.

one thing though, i didn't talk to my mum about her cancer because scared bring 'swei', but on hindsight i feel people should talk about the condition, or the possibility of passing on, not in a morbid way, but in a way to reassure the other person that things will be ok, that you & the family will be ok even after, even if you miss them so much. Of course, some people you cannot mention 'dying' in front of them, or you get the blame if anything happens but i guess personally i feel it's important to deal with life, as well as death.

And sometimes easy to take a lot of things for granted, moody or bad mood because you think you had a bad day or your life or job 'sucks'. but imagine if get a disease like cancer, straight away all the things that were 'so important', not important already, all very petty and you just want to get better. i want to thank you, whoever contributed to this thread, for reminding me not to take things for granted too much, and yes, i have started to pray to god when i wake up to 'remind me to stay humble, and enjoy the rest of the day given to me'. cheers!
