A new case report has suggested that cannabis oil and magic mushrooms may have helped halt the spread of a woman’s cancer.
The 49-year-old unidentified woman was diagnosed with stage four cancer in August 2018. Scans revealed that it had spread to her bones, liver and lymph nodes.
She underwent chemotherapy and was given monoclonal antibody drugs. The patient also started self-treating with cannabis oil.
In November 2018, she had her first psychedelic therapy session, which involved her ingesting magic mushrooms under supervision.
By January 2019, scans showed her cancer had completely gone with "no evidence of residual or recurrent disease".
The patient said, "When one is diagnosed with cancer, the mental, physical and emotional events which consume and slowly chip away at one's humanity become a daily routine. Everything changes in a heartbeat, and suddenly death becomes your daily counterpart. It’s dehumanising, demoralising and just plain horrific."
She added, "Cannabis changes all of this. It will ease the suffering of so many, as it eased mine. Cannabis provides hope. It provides help when you feel you can’t go on."
"I was able to eat. I was able to sleep. The nausea was almost non-existent. I could function. I could work. I was no longer slave to my disease," she further said.
"This highlights in the first phase of treatment the possibility of the therapeutic adjunctive effect of both psychedelics and cannabinoids in treating metastatic breast cancer," the medics said.
Eventually, the woman stopped having chemotherapy and continued to use cannabis oil daily alongside magic mushroom microdoses.'
In September 2019, scans showed her cancer was still in remission. The woman halved her cannabis intake and stopped taking mushrooms completely.
She remained cancer-free for 18 months after which tests in June 2020 revealed that the disease had returned.
Following this, the woman upped her doses again, restarted chemotherapy and began radiotherapy.
Her disease was stable, as of her last appointment in October. Doctors even claimed there was evidence it was 'receding' once more.
The case study was published by experts from Imperial College London in the journal Drug Science.
