CANCER - MELANOMA & Cannabis studies
Overview
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer which forms from melanocytes (pigment containingcells in the skin). In women, the most common site is the legs, and in men, it's the back.
Whereas surgery and chemotherapy work only by killing the cancer cells, hemp oil treatment for melanoma works on three fronts. The CBD in the hemp oil: Allegedly Kills the melanoma cancerous cells. Manages pain and inflammations that accompany the cancer. Hemp Oil boosts the bodies endocannabinoid system, which enables the body to fight the cancer on its own.
Antioxidants, such as retinol, are important for a healthy immune system. Studies have found that higher intake of retinol-rich foods, such as fish, milk, eggs, dark green leafy vegetables, and orange/yellow fruits and vegetables led to a 20 percent reduced risk of developing melanoma.
