Cancer: Trying to Understand Why Full THC Hemp Oil Works for Some and Not Others
September 13th, 2012Warning: No information that appears on Cryptogon should be considered medical advice.
Most Cryptogon readers will be aware of Rick Simpson, his story and his phoenixtears.ca website. If you’re not, you can head over there and get up to speed.
A few weeks ago, actor Tommy Chong went on CNN and announced that he had prostate cancer and that he was using hemp oil in attempt to cure himself.
He posted some initially encouraging tweets:
16 Jul Tommy Chong ?@tommychong
Did I mention I am 99% cancer free? Thanks to my “medication”. Hemp oil
works but you have to believe…..I believe….tc
13 Jul Tommy Chong @tommychong
Got my blood test results back…the hemp oil is working! PSA down to
2…..yes!
But then, on his 12 September 2012 Pot Cast #3 – A Nice Healthy Stream, he stated:
I went on CNN and I announced to the world that I was going to cure it with pot, with hemp oil. And I want to tell you that after three months of using hemp oil, it hasn’t done a god damned thing. In other words, it’s not working. So, back to the drawing board.
Now, check out the Dennis Hill story:
Biochemist Dennis Hill graduated from the University of Houston and did his Graduate Work at Baylor Medical School. Dennis worked as a Cancer Researcher at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. When Dennis was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer, which had metastasized to other parts of his body, he started researching. Since Dennis has a family history of prostate cancer, and he often witnessed ineffective results while working in cancer research, he felt a new approach was in order.
After researching possible alternatives Dennis ran across information about Rick Simpson using cannabis concentrate, which is an extract of the essential oil which is extracted from marijuana and contains cannabinoids. Simpson was using the oil to treat a wide variety of illness, including cancer. The more Dennis researched, the more he understood how cannabis worked on cancer. He has included 2 papers for the review of anyone interested that go into the science of how cannabis kills cancer. He was determined to give it a try, and decided to tell his doctor that he would be using cannabis concentrate alone for his treatment. He did not want to risk more damage to his body from chemo, so he chose to start the cannabis oil regime without any other treatment.
Dennis is educated, with a sound background in science, and a background in the cancer industry. He stated that the Cannabis Oil killed the cancer, and he is now cancer free. He never underwent any of the standard treatment ie chemo, or radiation. He maintained a healthy diet, and exercise as part of his healing and after care. Dennis worked two jobs while he was treating himself, and never experienced any of the side effects typically associated with standard cancer treatments. He administered 1 tiny dose of the cannabis oil in the AM, and 1 tiny dose of the cannabis oil in the pm, just as Rick Simpson suggests.

What’s going on here?
Why is full THC hemp oil an apparent miracle cure for some and ineffective for others? Unfortunately, there’s zero consistency in terms of what people are actually taking. The illegal nature of the therapy in many places forces people to do the best they can with whatever material they can obtain.
As far as cancer alternatives, all I know for sure is what worked for me: Black salve (bloodroot) cured occurrences of basal cell carcinoma on my body. SunSpotES cured occurrences of basal cell carcinoma on my body. The medical industry has unleashed a jihad against black salve and, to a lesser extent, Lane Labs, the makers of SunSpot ES. The PSYOP against black salve is one of the most vicious that I’m aware of on any topic, including 9/11. In my experience, the main differences between black salve and SunSpotES is that the SunSpotES costs more, goes slower and is much less painful than black salve.
That’s the extent of my personal, first hand knowledge of successfully curing cancer with alternative therapies.
You don’t know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes with my private contacts with people, but Cryptogon readers are dying of cancer, right now, as you’re reading this. The medical industry is as full of quacks as the alternative side. So, let’s just focus on what has worked for you, or what has worked for someone that you know in real life.

Update: Rick Simpson’s Response to Tommy Chong Situation
I went over to Rick Simpson’s Facebook page and posted the following comment:
Hello Rick,
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on Tomy Chong’s prostate cancer situation?
He just stated on his podcast:
http://sideshownetwork.tv/shows/tc/3357
“I went on CNN and I announced to the world that I was going to cure it with pot, with hemp oil. And I want to tell you that after three months of using hemp oil, it hasn’t done a god damned thing. In other words, it’s not working. So, back to the drawing board.”
Thank you,
Kevin
Rick Simpson (or someone with admin control of that page) responded. Here is what was posted:
Look, I told him what to do but he did not listen and I doubt he did the treatment properly. Too much work and business, you know, why would he take the time off and do the treatment right from day 1? I also don’t know who he got the oil fr
om and whether the oil was made exactly according to our instructions.I don’t think he took it three times a day, certainly not 60g as instructed, I’d say judging by how played with it in the beginning instead of doing it right. I think he just took some oil at night and thought it is enough. No, it is not.
And I doubt he ever ate a gram of high grade oil a day. I also doubt he took suppositories with the oil, as he was told.That’s what you get when you do not follow the instructions. The medical system has nothing better to offer and if he goes their way, he will get killed sooner or later and the oil will be blamed. Up to him.
He should do the treatment properly and eat another 60g or more, with no experiments like he did. And definitely no surgeries or ultrasound, it is not necessary.
The way I look at it, he did not take the treatment properly. To me he is just another guy who thought he can do it ‘his way’, which he did. Plus, I don’t know what his doctors told him and if he got his PSA readings from at least two sources in one day – he would not be the first one to get false data from them.
Anyway, it is up to him what he does. I would continue to pound the oil in me three times a day, plus I would use the oil in suppositories. Dennis Hill cured his prostate cancer with very low doses of the oil, and there is no reason why it should not work for Chong. Unless he is not doing something right. JB
—End Update—
A few of months ago I was diagnosed with indolent follicular lymphoma, stage 3. I knew Chemo wasn’t for me, but wasn’t quite sure what to do. I wrote you, you pointed to links on DiChloroAcetate and RSO.
I am fortunate to live in Mendocino, CA, the source of most of this State’s marijuana supply (along with Humbolt), and some top quality product and researchers in the field. Dr. William Courtney has a good reputation and works in this area.
I started on hash oil about 3 months ago (homeade, and legal in my area). Also DCA, a bunch of Vit D3, and a few other things like turmeric.
Because one of my tumors was large, the docs scared me into taking one dose of Rituximab/Bendamustine. At that point i’d been on RSO for about 3 weeks. Within 1 week of taking the R-B dose, the tumor by my ear was completely gone. I like to believe the RSO ‘weakened’ it and the poison knocked it down fast. The larger tumor in my intestine still seems to be there a tiny bit, but i can’t really tell, haven’t had another scan, and have no symptoms (great appetite and all).
I’m up to about half-gram of RSO after several months — his advice of a full gram per day is REALLY DAMNED DIFFICULT. I have a serious incentive to comply, and lemme tell you that much is *tough*.
I’ve refused further chemo (bendamustine) but will continue to take monthly Rituximab for a few more months. Meanwhile I feel *perfect*, and can no longer detect anymore than the littlest bit of the last tumor. I think the hash oil is slowly working, even at the lower dose i’m taking.
I think i’m incredibly fortunate that I have access to essentially unlimited amounts of the best product in the world, and i’ve grown pretty good at making top quality oil. I’ll keep ya posted when I come back with a fully clean scan.
But to answer the question regarding Tom Chong, i see some possibilities:
* he hasn’t taken it long enough (it works slowly)
* he may not be following the protocol: top-quality oil, taken in volume (gram a day)
* he may have also taken poisons (chemo), which would mean he should triple the oil intake to repair the damage from the poison – and even then it may not work.
Thanks very much for telling us what’s happening.
In case anyone doesn’t know what west’s references to RSO mean: RSO is short for Rick Simpson Oil.
This is why I will always be a Cryptogon reader. Real talk. Thanks for doing what you do, Kevin.
PS I live in Humboldt county and love Mendocino. So beautiful down there. Too bad beer can’t cure cancer because the best beers come from Mendo, too. Makes me happy to know there are local-ish Cryptogon readers.
My hopes and best wishes to all that are facing cancer. It’s an outrage that real cancer research is probably next to impossible with all the huge profit flows tied up in the industry currently surrounding it.
that 2nd link (cytokines) seems busted…
@west
Thanks, I fixed it.
