Chemotherapy combined with CBD triples the survival time with pancreatic cancer

Chemotherapy combined with CBD Against pancreatic cancer New research shows that combined chemotherapy with CBD triples the survival time of mice with pancreatic cancer, compared to chemotherapy alone. A new study published in the journal Oncogene examined the effects of combining chemotherapy with CBD (cannabidiol - the non-psychoactive component of cannabis) for mice with pancreatic cancer. Survival time - up to 3 times One group of mice received chemotherapy alone, in the form of the drug gemcitabine, a chemotherapy drug given to treat several cancers. The second group received a combination of gemcitabine and CBD. The summary of the study found that the survival time for the group that received both gemcitabine and CBD was 3 times longer than the group that received gemcitabine alone. In other words, the combination of CBD and chemotherapy was more effective than chemotherapy alone. "Cannabidiol is already approved for clinical use in the UK, so we may soon be able to review t...

What is Corona Virus and how the virus affects our body

Step by step: This is how the corona virus affects our body What is the crown that surrounds the new corona virus, and why is it the key to its action in the body? This is how the infectious virus spreads at a dizzying pace in the world - and thus it takes over the human body The medical world continues to investigate the violent corona virus, which has become one of humanity's most infectious and infected so far Hundreds of thousands of people. Just weeks after the spread of the pandemic in the world, scientists have been able to learn quite a bit about the virus, crack its structure and understand how it penetrates the human body and causes severe morbidity. The new corona virus, called COVID-19, is the seventh in the corona virus family. The SARS virus also belongs to the Corona family, causing a global epidemic in 2003 and 2004. COVID-19, like others, has a crown of spider-like proteins around it, which is the key that allows it to easily penetrate human body cells Unli...

CBD allows chemotherapy to kill cancer from inside

Research: CBD allows chemotherapy to kill cancer "From the inside" Introducing chemotherapeutic drugs directly into cancer cells without harming healthy cells is the latest word in cancer research - but there are chemotherapy drugs that cannot penetrate the cancer cell easily. Combining the chemotherapeutic drug with cannabidiol (CBD) allows it to penetrate and kill the cancer cell from the inside - according to a new Israeli study conducted at the Hebrew University. A new study from the Hebrew University published last month in the Frontiers in Pharmacology Journal found that combining chemotherapy with cannabidiol (CBD), the major non-drug ingredient in cannabis, allows it to be injected directly into the cancer cells to improve its efficacy and reduce its side effects. Researchers have developed a new method for injecting chemotherapeutic drugs directly into cancer cells, through small channels that exist in them, called "TRP channels." In their previou...
