Cannabis Health Radio Podcast

Lynn's oncologist, initially dismissive of cannabis oil, shifted his position after her results — telling her "keep doing what you're doing" and suggesting they had considered a misdiagnosis before confirming the original diagnosis was correct. Diagnosed at 44 with glioblastoma multiforme and given 6–18 months to live, Lynn is now approaching 57 — a remarkable survival given the ~17% two-year survival rate for this cancer type. Chemo and radiotherapy were completed first — six weeks of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a six-week break, then oral chemotherapy — before cannabis oil was introduced. Residual effects from treatment include short-term memory problems and poor balance; hearing loss in the right ear (cancer side) was recently resolved by wax removal, which dramatically improved hearing. CBD oil was used during treatment, with full cannabis oil added approximately six weeks after completing conventional therapy. Maintenance dosing consists of two glycerine capsules of cannabis oil in coconut oil taken nightly, producing restful sleep without a pronounced high — described as a mellow, calming effect. Scotland's continued illegality of cannabis was noted, with Lynn expressing optimism that Scottish independence could bring significant policy change. Lynn continues to be contacted by others with the same diagnosis and advises them to do their own research, take supplements, and not simply replicate her exact approach. Diet was significantly changed post-diagnosis: only home-cooked, organic food from a local farm shop, eliminating processed and ultra-processed foods entirely. The journey prompted a deeper spiritual outlook, greater tolerance, gratitude for small things, and a new prayer practice — a transformation Lynn attributes partly to cannabis. If given the choice again, Lynn would not undergo chemo or radiotherapy, citing post-treatment research into its limitations — a view echoed by most guests Ian has interviewed. Cannabis is framed as effective prophylactic medicine that promotes homeostasis, not just a last-resort treatment for serious diagnoses.

Diagnosed at 34 as a highly active police officer with above-average vision and hand-eye coordination, Jason's condition was especially rare as it typically affects the elderly, organ transplant recipients, or those with AIDS/HIV. Cancer spread to the optic nerve destroyed one eye, which was removed via evisceration last year; a hand-painted prosthetic now tracks the remaining eye, and Jason reports being completely pain-free post-removal. Whole-brain radiation was firmly refused due to the risk of permanent cognitive and personality changes; targeted eye radiation (17 of 24 planned treatments) achieved remission instead. Fifth relapse in 2018 involved six brain lesions including one on the brain stem, a grand mal seizure lasting over five hours, and an inability to walk — Jason drove himself to the hospital and fell in the parking lot before receiving care. Radical lifestyle change followed the fifth relapse: eliminated alcohol, switched to organic produce, wild-harvested venison, exercise, yoga, meditation, and brain-training exercises. Cannabis oil use — oral, suppository, and vaping — is credited with reducing tumor spots on the left tricep within two months (spots were gone before conventional treatment began) and with providing neuroprotection against treatment-related brain damage. Doctors and medical staff were consistently unwilling to discuss cannabis on record, citing protocol restrictions and job security concerns, despite acknowledging Jason's survival as medically baffling. Autologous stem cell transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering New York was selected as the treatment for the fifth relapse; the procedure involves harvesting stem cells via centrifuge, freezing them, then reinfusing after eight days of high-dose chemotherapy. Jason's stem cell "rebirth day" coincided with his actual birthday (April 24th), Easter, and spring — an alignment no medical facility he asked had ever encountered before. Brain cancer's invisible long-term deficits — poor memory, balance issues, loss of depth perception, declining night vision, and seizure-related damage — are widely misunderstood; people assume remission means full recovery. Cannabis is considered neuroprotective by Jason; a single hit of a joint provided significant pain relief after eye removal when prescribed medications failed entirely. Growing up near a toxic landfill is identified as a likely environmental cause of the cancer cluster in his community, including his own brain cancer, his mother's fatal colon cancer at 56, and two miscarriages. Key advice for cancer patients: eliminate sugar and alcohol, prioritize high-quality food, maintain a positive mindset, cut out negative media, and seek community support — diet and mental state are the first areas Jason addresses when contacted by newly diagnosed individuals. Jason is developing a public speaking career and has two books in progress: Memoirs of Murray Road and Fifth Time's the Charm: The Remarkable Story of a Five-Time Terminal Brain Cancer Survivor.

Cannabis has been rescheduled from Schedule I to Schedule III drug status, allowing more research and testing while reducing social media restrictions on cannabis information sharing. Geri shared that she takes absolutely no pharmaceuticals at age 68 and believes hormone replacement therapy caused her triple positive breast cancer that was 100% estrogen and progesterone driven. Geri's husband was diagnosed with a 22-pound sarcoma in his belly that went undetected despite regular quarterly doctor visits for diabetes monitoring. Her mother's lung cancer stopped growing after taking cannabis oil for one month, causing her to look 15 years younger and be removed from the palliative care list. Despite seeing positive results, Geri's mother chose to stop using cannabis and died because her programming against the "devil's lettuce" from the 1950s was stronger than the evidence. Following Rick Simpson's protocol, Geri built up her cannabis oil dosage from a grain of rice to one gram daily while monitoring her tumor shrinkage through regular ultrasounds. Her doctor forced her into early retirement without sick pay and refused to provide ultrasounds unless she agreed to surgery, despite the tumor numbers consistently decreasing. Geri refused all conventional treatments including 26 rounds of radiation, 30 rounds of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, herceptin, and double mastectomy with reconstruction. Research shows $200 billion annually is spent on cancer research yet cancer rates have increased by 70%, while the endocannabinoid system serves as the master regulator of health that 99% of people have never heard of. A friend's 34-year-old daughter-in-law died two years after breast cancer diagnosis despite completing all conventional treatments including double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemotherapy, and radiation. Mineral deficiencies, particularly boron deficiency, contribute significantly to aging-related health issues including osteoporosis, arthritis, weak joints, and myocarditis. Geri currently takes approximately three grains of rice worth of cannabis oil nightly on a toothpick as a maintenance dose nine years after her cancer diagnosis. Her brother achieved prostate cancer clearance using cannabis oil suppositories combined with minimal conventional treatment after being threatened with denial of knee replacement surgery. Plant medicines including cannabis belong in the human body and mesh perfectly with natural cannabinoid systems, unlike pharmaceutical drugs derived from toxic petrochemicals and fluoride.

Keith Petty believes he would likely be dead from alcohol consumption if cannabis had not entered his life, as he consumed alcohol daily for years and engaged in destructive occasional drinking.Childhood trauma began early for Keith with his mother's incarceration and substance abuse problems, his grandparents' divorce when he was six or seven, and eventual placement in foster care at age 13 due to medical neglect.Foster care placement initially created culture shock as Keith moved from a chaotic household where his uncle sold marijuana to a strict religious family with no television and church three times weekly.Violence occurred in Keith's second foster home over sexuality issues and an AOL gay chat room incident, leading to his placement with a neighbor who became his permanent foster mother until age 19.Alcoholism escalated after Keith's first relationship ended, leading to ten years of reckless destruction including credit card fraud using his company's credit card for partying purposes.Legal consequences resulted in Keith facing jail time for credit card fraud and forgery at age 26, but he qualified for Virginia's first-time offenders program requiring two years of drug court and outpatient rehabilitation.Recovery through court-ordered sobriety was challenging as Keith had no family financial support system, forcing him to give up his leased home and handle legal consequences independently.A severe accident occurred in 2020 when Keith fell while day drinking during COVID quarantine, breaking his tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus bones, requiring surgery with rods and screws and causing permanent nerve damage.Blood alcohol content measured 0.34 the morning after Keith's accident, more than four times the legal limit of 0.08, highlighting the severity of his alcohol consumption.Pain management options were rejected by Keith due to family history with opiates, and high-dose ibuprofen consumption threatened organ damage, leading his doctor to suggest cannabis as an alternative.Cannabis treatment began with edibles and vaping cartridges, successfully managing Keith's pain while allowing his doctor to discontinue his Xanax prescription and break a generational cycle of benzodiazepine dependence.Mental health improvements from cannabis included reduced stress, better ADHD management alongside his Vyvanse prescription, and clearer thinking without sedation or brain fog.Business opportunity emerged when Keith was overcharged at a vape shop, inspiring him to convert his old party bus into a mobile cannabis dispensary serving farmer's markets, biker events, and local fairs.Sobriety from alcohol has been maintained for two years without AA meetings, as cannabis helped Keith view alcohol differently and removed its appeal entirely.

Symptoms leading to diagnosis included progressively worsening headaches, tinnitus with pulsing in ears, dizziness, and immense head pressure during treadmill training that prompted an emergency eye exam revealing severe optic nerve bleeding.Surgery on November 1st, 2022 successfully removed 60 to 70% of the brain tumor, with the surgeon surprised Nathan didn't have a speech impediment given the tumor's extremely large size.Two weeks before diagnosis, Nathan heard a podcast about a man alleging to cure cancer with cannabis oil, and this person was providing the treatment free to cancer patients for seven years.Treatment protocol involved taking 10 pills daily containing 44 milligrams of cannabis each, combined initially with six cycles of chemotherapy and radiation, followed by six additional cycles of chemotherapy.Nathan's oncologist initially called the cannabis treatment a scam but later became encouraging about continuing the pills, stating Nathan was his best brain cancer patient at BC Cancer and that he never sees such results.Psychological impact included severe trauma for Nathan, his wife as caregiver, and 13-year-old son who witnessed Nathan crawling on floors due to extreme nausea and complications including a life-threatening blood clot.Cannabis provided multiple benefits including pain management, emotional regulation helping with depression, improved sleep for body recovery, and reduced inflammation which aided his athletic training recovery.Nathan was declared cancer free in 2023-2024 after continuous tumor shrinkage, with his oncologist stating he does not relate Nathan's success to the chemotherapy and radiation treatments.Multiple doctors have looked at Nathan's case and asked him to confirm his diagnosis, stating "you know you should be dead, right?" due to the rarity of his survival and recovery.Holistic healing approach included eliminating sugar, regular fasting for autophagy, sprouting broccoli for sulforaphane, taking vitamins C and D, and daily grounding by placing bare feet on earth for 30 minutes.A false positive scare occurred in November 2025 when an MRI showed what appeared to be recurrence, but December scan confirmed it was an artifact and Nathan remained cancer free.Nathan now coaches other cancer patients and has seen success with three people who experienced pseudoprogression (inflammation mistaken for tumor growth) that later showed actual shrinkage on subsequent scans.His dog was diagnosed with aggressive malignant melanoma in November 2025 with high mitotic count and given weeks to months to live, but is now being treated with the same cannabis oil formula designed for pets.Cancer experience completely transformed Nathan's perspective from being depressed and unmotivated before diagnosis to becoming extremely positive and passionate about helping others explore cannabis treatment options.

Goldstein's frustration with the medical system included long patient wait times of four to eight hours in emergency rooms and having to argue with insurance companies about necessary patient transfers to higher acuity facilities.A friend's breast cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy struggles prompted Goldstein to research cannabis in 2008, leading her to discover the endocannabinoid system and eventually work part-time in a medical cannabis practice in Los Angeles.Epilepsy and autism represent the top two conditions treated in Goldstein's pediatric cannabis practice, with one-third of pediatric epilepsy patients not responding to any pharmaceutical medications.Treatment protocols utilize primarily non-impairing cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBDA, with THC used in medicinal doses that allow 70 to 80 percent of children to function without impairment.A remarkable case involved a nine-year-old patient with hundreds of daily seizures who progressed from being non-responsive in a stroller to saying "mama" at age 12-13, learning to crawl, feed herself, and use an iPad after years of cannabinoid treatment.Research demonstrates that longer treatment duration with CBD correlates with better outcomes, with patients showing optimal response rates at the two-year mark compared to one month or one year of treatment.CBD's effectiveness stems from its promiscuous nature, targeting over 75 different receptors including trip channels, adenosine enhancement, anandamide boosting, and GPR55 receptor blocking to reduce neuroexcitation and neuroinflammation.Different cannabis strains or chemovars contain varying amounts of similar compounds, requiring some patients to try 8, 10, or 15 different products before finding effective treatment, while others respond to any variety.Parents approach cannabis treatment with varying levels of apprehension, from immediate research after diagnosis to last-resort consideration after years of failed conventional treatments.Scientific literature now considers CBD an acceptable treatment for intractable pediatric seizures, with published research showing an 86% response rate for seizure reduction across multiple clinical studies.Environmental factors including increased chemical exposure, pesticide-laden foods like Cheerios, and processed foods contribute to the rising prevalence of childhood ailments compared to previous generations.Goldstein launched Goldstein Wellness in 2024, offering free comprehensive cannabis education to US licensed healthcare practitioners through 50+ videos and providing a free referral service connecting patients with educated clinicians in their states.Schedule 3 rescheduling will primarily benefit research opportunities and allow patients to cross state lines with their medicine, addressing the current problem where well children cannot travel to visit family members in other states.Research on autism patients revealed that children have lower levels of anandamide, an inner cannabis compound, and cannabinoid treatment can normalize biomarkers related to aggression, inflammation, and neuronal functioning while improving behaviors and family functioning.

Mary Ellen began using cannabis at age 18 to manage PTSD symptoms from her brother's death by methadone addiction when she was eight, finding that cannabis smoothed out her restlessness, depression, and agitation.Stopping cannabis use in her late twenties led to everything going haywire in Mary Ellen's life, including doctor shopping for opiates, fibromyalgia diagnosis, postpartum depression, and five trips to rehab.After 11 months in a 12-step program following her fifth rehab, Mary Ellen read a book suggesting addiction was a choice and decided to reintroduce cannabis, which helped her life begin to simmer down and function properly again.During the years without cannabis, Mary Ellen's endocannabinoid system went into deficiency, and she believes seeking opiates was a sideways attempt to get rebalanced, though it only made everything worse.Cannabis creates homeostasis and balance by working through the endocannabinoid system's unique retrograde motion, where chemicals flow in the opposite direction from traditional neurotransmitters, acting as a regulator to slow excessive chemical signaling.Discovery of the endocannabinoid system's retrograde motion turned 100 years of neuroscience upside down, as it showed chemicals flowing from postsynaptic to presynaptic nerves rather than the traditional one-way direction taught in neuroscience.Mary Ellen was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer with no correlation to cannabis use, and received treatment from Dr. Gregory Weinstein in Philadelphia, who developed the surgical robot used for the procedure.Medical professionals at the treatment facility encouraged Mary Ellen to use cannabis during her cancer treatment, which she found unusual but supportive given her 40-year history with the plant.Five surgeries included endometriosis treatment, ruptured neck disc repair, breast reduction, hip replacement, and cancer removal, with the neck scan fortunately revealing the otherwise undetectable cancer.During cancer treatment, Mary Ellen took up to 60 milligrams of oxycodone per day but successfully tapered off following doctor's advice, using meditation principles and understanding that addiction thoughts are just thoughts that don't have to be believed.Cannabis continues to help Mary Ellen manage post-surgery symptoms including pain when swallowing, metallic taste from reduced taste buds, and lack of appetite, with small amounts motivating her to eat and care for herself.Remarkably, Mary Ellen's cancer surgery required significantly less intervention than planned, with surgeons avoiding skin grafts from her arm and leg that were originally scheduled, which she attributes partly to consuming CBG oils and RSO prior to surgery.People suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's likely have improperly functioning endocannabinoid systems that could benefit from cannabis intervention.Mary Ellen encourages people not to give up on cannabis if previous attempts didn't work, emphasizing that today's options are vastly different from 20 years ago, and even small amounts of CBD can provide significant behind-the-scenes health benefits over the long term.
