Treating cancer with cannabis and psilocybin - Nicole DiMonda & Jaime Brambila

Many of us have heard about how the anti-tumoral effects of cannabis and anecdotal accounts abound of patients who've successfully treated their cancer with cannabis oil.

But combining cannabis and psilocybin is a potentially exciting combination using a two pronged approach: targeting the cancer cells with cannabis while healing the emotional trauma and discord with psilocybin (although psilocybin may have its own anticancer effects).

This is the courageous route Nicole DiMonda took when she discovered she had breast cancer: up-titrating to high doses of a full spectrum cannabis extract, abundant in not only THC and CBD but also the acidic cannabinoids, alongside heroic doses and microdosing psilocybin. This until now, has been alongside standard cancer treatments.

So far, Nicole's results have far exceeded her physician's expectations, and her case history has been highlighted in a recent paper published in collaboration with Drug Science and Imperial College London.

Sadly, Nicole's cancer is terminal but the couple hope they can continue to beat the odds using their cannabis/psilocybin protocol. In the meantime, they continue to spread the word about this unique approach to healing not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well.
