Research & Studies
Our goal is to educate the public on the benefits of CBD usage. We are not Dr's and will not make medical recommendations on how to treat specific conditions. We just want to educate and update you on all the new emerging data in order to save you time and help you make better health decisions. We will post the data here and on our Facebook page to help keep you informed. We recommend that you continue to research the benefits of CBD and also to talk to your health care provider.

Cancer Control
There’s solid evidence supporting the idea that cannabinoids can reduce tumor growth in animal models of cancer. CBD may also enhance uptake or increase the potency of certain drugs used to treat cancer. There are some human studies as well as ongoing trials so follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter to stay informed.
Here are some promising studies:
A 2019 study of in vitro and in vivo studies focusing on pancreatic cancer found that cannabinoids can help slow tumor growth, reduce tumor invasion, and induce tumor cell death. The study authors wrote that research into the effectiveness of different formulations, dosing, and precise mode of action is lacking and urgently needed.
A 2019 study indicated that CBD could provoke cell death and make glioblastoma cells more sensitive to radiation, but with no effect on healthy cells.
A large, long-term study of men within the California Men’s Health Study cohort found that using cannabis may be inversely associated with bladder cancer risk. However, a cause and effect relationship hasn’t been established.
A 2014 study in experimental models of colon cancer in vivo suggests that CBD may inhibit the spread of colorectal cancer cells.
A 2014 review of 35 in vitro and in vivo studies found that cannabinoids are promising compounds in the treatment of gliomas.
Research from 2010 demonstrated the efficacy of CBD in preclinical models of metastatic breast cancer. The study found that CBD significantly reduced breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion.
There are many more studies easy to find on the internet if you search CBD and Cancer. One thing to keep in mind is the research is fairly new and is continually ongoing and being updated. We are here to help sift through all the information and data to help you interpret and understand it better. We are not making medical recommendations. We will just present the data and let you talk to your health care provider on what is best for you, especially if you are dealing with cancers of any type. *** The information is very promising on the benefits of CBD and cancer BUT you still need a Dr to make the recommendation on what procedure or treatment is best for you.
Can I Use CBD Oil for Skin Cancer?
So, where does the connection between CBD and skin cancer begin? A number of studies have found a link between CBD, the body’s endocannabinoid system, and gene regulation that prevents cancer growth. Here’s an overview of the pertinent research.
CBD contains substances known as cannabinoids, natural compounds that interact with the receptors of the endocannabinoid system. This network of receptors is scattered across the body, where it regulates a wide array of functions that include mood, pain and inflammation, and cell growth. When the abnormal cells that cause skin cancer grow, the endocannabinoid system isn’t functioning properly.
Studies have shown that CBD can help endocannabinoid receptors return to normal function and halt the progress of skin cells that are turning cancerous. Early evidence indicates that cannabinoids work to “regulate cell-survival and cell-death pathways differently in tumor and non-tumor cells,” suggesting that compounds like CBD can possibly be used to target cancerous growths without damaging healthy cells. A 2013 study reported that 90% of skin cancers could be mitigated using synthetic cannabinoids. In this preliminary research, CBD has shown promising results in preventing the growth and metastasization of cancer cells, providing a potential alternative to traditional treatments like chemotherapy without harmful side effects.
It’s important to note that many of these studies have been conducted on animals, and research on the link between CBD and skin cancer remains in the very early stages of development. One 2017 report noted that “preliminary studies have suggested cannabis and its derivatives might have use in acne, dermatitis, pruritus, wound healing, and skin cancer. Further well-controlled studies are required to explore these potential uses.”
CBD Treatment for Skin Cancer
Because research is not yet definitive, CBD should not be used as an alternative to more established cancer treatments. However, thanks to its minimal side effects and limited interactions with other drugs, it could be a beneficial supplement to traditional treatment options.
If you have interest in incorporating CBD into a skin cancer treatment plan, it’s best to start by consulting your doctor. He or she can make sure CBD is safe for you to use, review the latest research, and help you find a place for CBD in your cancer-fighting arsenal.
For most patients, a CBD salve for skin cancer may be the most direct treatment option. A CBD balm for skin cancer can be applied to the affected area, delivering the highest possible concentration of cannabinoid-rich CBD. In addition, you may consider an ingestible form of CBD, which can be taken in the form of oil, pills, or gummies. While there is no set serving size of CBD for adults, experts recommend 10 to 20mg per day, or a ratio of 1 to 6mg per 10 pounds of body weight, as a safe starting point. You can also consult the packaging of most commercially available CBD products for recommended serving sizes.
While current research has not yet established CBD as an alternative to traditional skin cancer treatment, early studies suggest that it may have valuable potential to arrest the growth of cancer in many patients. While further research is being conducted, CBD can be used as a supplemental treatment for those diagnosed with skin cancer.
