@hippyjoe1955 there are studies showing that it has antibioticterial as well as viruscidial effects

@Miram I agree more research is needed, but the extract of pure thc was applied in a suppressed study to often cure all forms of hepatitis. I can only conclude they are refusing to conduct the necessary studies because the current model is so profitable.

@jehova It doesn't cure all forms of hepatitis. : / It's used as an anti-inflammatory only. I ll appreciate a link if I am wrong.

@Miram it was deleted "removed" within 10 minutes of having been posted thus it will never be found again, but in a citizen scientist experiment it was found that direct contact of thc on all forms of hepetitis infected cells killed those cells instantly. This was applied in getting thc to 80% thc for five straight days. It was found to be 98.2% effect on all forms of hepetitis. I read it within that 10 minutes of it being posted 7 of 9 of the researchers involved were dead within two weeks. You tell me is it that profitable?
You know I have begun to think that revenue, as in all things, is what the medical system is based on. Someone who can't pay, simply isn't treated. Sadly, this is the world we live in.

@jehova Which eliminates any choice you have in your care. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Here in Canada we have a single payer system with no choice except go to the US for alternate treatment. If you are on the list you stay on the list sometimes for years before your medical needs are met. If you don't die first. Yes Canadians are dying on waiting lists. A young woman was diagnosed with bone cancer. She was put on the list and a year later she was dead. She was never treated. Her diagnosis was that a wait was not fatal for her. The diagnosis was wrong and she paid for it with her life.

@hippyjoe1955 Well damn if they had implemented [u]The Dr. Sebi Nutritional Guide[/u] she'd be alive and well.

or the bryzinski diet, but instead the research is never done in the name of profit, or it gets done and the researchers killed. We need to get the information to Canada/the rest of the world so we can end this. Fuck!

Recreational marijuana will increase medical costs not reduce them. Our human bodies were not designed for the ingestion of cannabis whether smoked or swallowed. I have a soon to be ex son in law who smoked too much 'weed' we had him institutionalized the other day since he has had a marijuana induced mental break down.

@hippyjoe1955 True, I don't think our bodies were necessarily designed but cannabis is not a magical drug that works for everything and has no side effects. Besides the fact that it can affect mental health, even related to psychosis, it disables the immune system making the person vunerable to infections. There have been several reported cases of minigitis (not sure if I spelled it in English) which are also likely attributed to its use.

@Miram certainly if it's medical benefit were fully understood and utilized as well as the potential for self medication with fewer symptoms than prescription drugs, but i appreciate your point. I had not heard the meningitis thing so that's a product of haphazard sharing, I'd expect.

Healthcare became an industry long ago.

Diseases were created many times, policies encourage long term coping strategies rather than projects offering solutions; either because they gain more money from existing treatment, or because the effective ones cost more, or because they haven't made enough money from the old ones to cover all their needs.
