Microdose, Man with a dropper pipette taking the micro dose medicinal cannabis.

Not too long ago, a 50-year-old man from Illinois was diagnosed with โ€œincurable inoperableโ€ lung and pericardial heart sac cancer. Doctors told him he only had one year to live, and that was only if he immediately began chemotherapy.

Unwilling to accept his death sentence, he started to do a little research into what he could do to see his life (since the doctors could not). Seven months later, Darren was officially cancer-free and had the hospital documents to prove it. Now, two years later, Darren Miller is still cancer-free, and has attributed cannabis oil as being the lung cancer treatment that cured him.

Curing Cancer Naturally

The survival rate of lung cancer, if you might not already know, is incredibly low. For a Stage IA non-small cell lung cancer, survival rate is less than 50%. As the stages increase, this rate drops dramatically. For a Stage IV patient, the likelihood of recovery is 1%.

As he was aware of the odds against him, Darren Miller decided to supplement his chemotherapy treatments with cannabis oil.

โ€œI have the medical records to show the evidence of what Iโ€™m saying,โ€ Miller said. โ€œNow itโ€™s going to be interpreted differently by people everywhere, but Iโ€™ve researched and there are thousands of testimonies that you can go on the internet and see every day people doing this and itโ€™s been going on for years (1).โ€

Initially unaware of alternative cancer treatments, Miller underwent chemotherapy while he started researching what else he might try. At the time of his diagnosis, Millerโ€™s brother told him about government studies he had heard about where researchers had cured cancerous tumours in rats with cannabis.

What these studies discovered was that cannabis caused lung cell carcinoma apoptosis (death), which eventually killed all the cancer cels in their bodies (2). After investigating further, Miller found that cannabis oil has been used by many people to cure cancer – including lung cancer (3). With nothing to lose, he decided to try it.

Millerโ€™s wife quit her job so they could qualify for medical assistance, and they moved to California, where he could supplement with cannabis legally (they lived in Illinois previously, but procuring it after it became legal in 2014 proved difficult and expensive).

Cannabis Oil for Lung Cancer

Miller started his cannabis therapy (by consuming Rick Simpson oil) and took it concurrently with chemotherapy.

He told an affiliate of CBS News, โ€œToday, which is seven months later, they tell me I am completely cancer-free โ€” not remission. Iโ€™ve cured my cancer. Now, am I giving credit to the cannabis oil? Absolutely. Am I giving credit to chemo? I would have to say yes, too. I did both.โ€

The chemotherapy caused painful blisters on Millerโ€™s hands, mouth and feet, but once he stopped treatment, they went away. He remains on cannabis oil to this day, planning to take a small dose every day to keep lung cancer from returning, or showing up elsewhere in his body.

When the journalist asks Miller, โ€œWhy havenโ€™t we heard of this?โ€ he responds:

โ€œโ€ฆthe plant is free but you canโ€™t grow it in your yard to save your life โ€” you still have to buy it. I think personally over the last 70 years, that Iโ€™ve been witness to one of the biggest genocides by the U.S. government because theyโ€™ve known this [cannabis cures cancer]โ€ฆitโ€™s been stigmatized since the 30โ€™sโ€ฆthe proof is out there.โ€

Now that Miller has returned to Illinois, he has started a โ€œcompassionate cannabisโ€ program to help others who find themselves in the same situation he was in. He currently makes small batches of cannabis oil for his own use, and teaches others how to do so. Medical cannabis seeds would be needed to grow your own marijuana plants in order to procure the oil (unless you purchase the bud from a reputable source. Growing your own, under legal circumstances, would allow you to control the conditions by which it is grown – without pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals that most companies treat their bud with).

Cannabis oil has been proven time and time again to cure a host of different diseases and illnesses. Itโ€™s time we wake up to the medical potential of cannabis and start utilizing it for what itโ€™s worth. Cannabis has been confirmed time and time again that it can cure:

– Epilepsy and seizures
– Cancers of the bowel, lung, bladder, brain, lymphatic system
– Multiple sclerosis
– Chronโ€™s and other immune-gastrointestinal diseases
– Chronic pain
– Neurodegenerative disease

      It depends on the legality and where you live, but cannabis can be purchased online if it’s legal where you live. Phoenix Tears by Purely Medicinal is a really great product.
