Run From The CureAfter a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the hemp oil (with its high concentration of T.H.C.) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge, curing and controlling literally hundreds of people's illnesses... but when the story went public, the long arm of the law snatched the medicine - leaving potentially thousands of people without their cancer treatments - and leaving Rick with unconsitutional charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana!

Canada is in the middle of a CANCER EPIDEMIC! Meet the people who were not allowed to testify on Rick's behalf at the Supreme Court of Canada's Infamous Rick Simpson Trial on September 10, 2007... INCLUDING A MAN WHO WAS CURED OF TERMINAL CANCER USING HEMP OIL!

In January 20201 my father inlaw was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer. He was completely unable to eat and was dropping weight fast. We took him to a natural path who told us about phoenix tears. By summer the cancer was gone and the doctors were calling it a miracle. This works. Period. My only advice is make your own so you can control the quality. There are a lot of shady sites out there selling product that is made with god knows what.

Plenty of evidence if you seek you'll find that government has at least known that THC kills cancer.

I have stage 4 prostate cancer and I am NOT using RSO for two reasons: it's a rip-off on the cost and I still work. The loading dose of something like 9g of THC is debilitating; I've heard first-hand from another cancer patient (more later).

In my opinion, you should try RSO if you're sick and desperate or just believe in witchcraft or whatever rather than "western medicine". I would try RSO if I got beyond hope of other treatments, which I have not.

A physician friend of mine sent me a couple of medical journal articles that said 80mg of full spectrum CBD oil twice/day could help cancer cells to commit suicide by shutting off their blood supply. I have been doing that ever since my diagnosis and, to date, the tumors are not growing or spreading. (I am taking standard-of-care treatment as well.) I recommend anyone with stage 4 prostate cancer consider this.

I know a guy who did either RSO oil or homemade and is winding down chemotherapy from his prostate cancer. He's doubling the dosage of RSO after his chemo is over; is RSO doing him any good? Hard to say. He was also taking standard-of-care treatment. He said RSO completely disabled him for at least half the day. This is unacceptable to me right now.

Lol, some of these comments are so full of shit it's unbelievable! The fact that big pharma companies aren't using canabis Is because they can't claim it as 'there's ' or make a good enough synthetic copy of it. It's the mix of cbd and thc that's the natural mixture.
Why do you think thc is illegal???? Because it's the active ingredient.

Goodness. I love when people tell others to "do research," and claim that there are plenty of medical articles that show can avid cures cancer. If that were the case, medicine would use cannibis to cure cancer. The fact is, no where in scientific literature has any study shown that any component of cannabis cures cancer. Some show the need for further study about *possible* anti-tumour effects. Some studies actually show acceleration of tumour growth in certain types of cancer (but why would you mention that?).

The fact that no one doubts the credibility of a man you can't find a shred of information on, aside from on a website he made, is alarming to me. In what ways did Rick Simpson make the leap from "I have a minor injury that I decided to treat without modern medicine" to "this treatment cures everything." What proof does he have? What studies has he published? On what sample sizes has he conducted these experiments on? How did he come up with recommended dosage? All by himself, no less! He has no proof, no academic background, no professional authority, and yet no one questions this. He has mass hysteria, placebo effects, and, I realise this is a little rude, but he preys on the naivety of people with false hopes. It's dangerous.

I won't dismiss the benefits associated with any form of hemp/marijuana (I know there are many), but to claim one substance as a cure-all for every possible ailment - many genetically and chemically different in almost every way - is foolish. And to accuse an entire establishment of good men and women who literally dedicate their lives to helping others is incredibly disrespectful. Physicians and researchers go to school for a minimum of 8 years, then spend another 3-5 practicing under established physicians, just to start their careers. You seriously think they do that so they can watch some of their patients deteriorate? You honestly think they get pleasure out of being the ones to tell people they probably won't live much longer? To council patients and families on the trials that will need to be endured? Some of you need to wake up. And you can respond to me in whatever manner you deem appropriate. I question the validity of this man who seems to be using unsuspecting, desperate, sick individuals, for reasons I can't be sure of. Profit, recognition. Either is just as sad.

I planted in 2006. a couple of hemp in a few flowerpots behind my house,
the police came and measured with the root and soil in the flowerPOTS, a total of 7 kg (hemp with roots and soil out of the flowerpots), I was sentenced two years in prison, of which I was kept ( in the prison of course) investigate 7 months, to say that I would not repeat the offense: planting marijuana.

If the Government was truly concerned for our health and well being then why would they quickly arrest us for the personal use of something that can cure a sickness that many people have?
It doesn't matter to them as to why you are using it, what does matter to them is that you are using it. There is only one logical reason why and that is a complete cover up of the truth for reasons of money.
Pharmaceutical companies do not want us to be healthy and well. There is no money in that. However, there is plenty of money in feeding sick people with drugs that only make you sicker in the long run. There is also plenty of money to be made by arresting people for illegal drugs and sending them through the court systems and mandatory drug testing.

Charlie Blue,

You are naive.

Yes, your government is willing to pay exorbitant fees for conventional cancer treatments. What makes you think that your politicians aren't bought and paid for, as are most politicians around the world?

Aside from the profit motives of the Health Care industry itself, we live within a monetary-economic paradigm that requires perpetual growth. With the exception of the Health Care sector, the economy is mostly floundering.

So you work in the public health sector as an Oncology Pharmacist, but claim that you have no private interests? Well, let's get past the semantics here. You certainly have personal interests in perpetuating the medical status quo!

What a crock.

I don't have a problem with cancer patients with extensive and/or palliative disease dipping into THC, as it IS extremely good for pain control, anxiety, and anorexia. I do however, know that THIS STORY ABOUT HEMP OIL CURING CANCER IS BULLSHIT. And what's more, this 'documentary' is dangerous bullshit. Dangerous, unsubstantiated bullshit with no credible evidentiary support.

To those of you are buying into it, I can't blame you for being intrigued. Unless you've studied for years to understand this area of medicine I can see how this video would have you believe that chemo and other treatments are a sham created by pharmaceutical companies to make money. But I live in Australia, where, unlike in the US where people largely pay for all their medical care themselves or through their insurance, our government foots the bill for cancer treatments. Do you really think the Australian government, and so many others around the world for that matter, are going to finance the exorbitant amount of money required for chemo/radiotherapy without there being an extraordinary amount of unbiased, credible evidence for it? Haven't you noticed that compared to ten, twenty, fifty years ago people with cancer are not just 'dying from wasting disease', but living far longer, sometimes going into full remission?

People need to understand that yes, current treatment regimens ARE barbaric. Surgeons cut out pieces of flesh, most chemo is effectively poison and radiation therapy too has its bad points... but they kill or remove cancer cells, which in turn increases survival times. The difficult part is, the more aggressive the treatment, the worse the side effects are likely to be, but the better the chances are of beating the cancer. The aggressiveness of the treatment is partly determined by a patient's 'performance status' - patients who have more reserve and are otherwise quite well have a higher status and are able to be treated more aggressively. In other words, patients who are in pain, are not eating well, are stressed/depressed etc. are not only less likely to survive their cancer on their own, but they are less able to tolerate the aggressive treatments. They are therefore treated more 'gently' with treatment regimens that have much lower success rates. The supposed benefits of hemp oil and other THC products are almost definitely due to the effects of these drugs on improving symptom management and quality of life, subsequently increasing a patient's 'performance status'. THC products are likely to be linked to improved survival simply because patients may be better physically and psychologically equipped for the most aggressive and therefore the most effective treatments available.

Oh and as for the claims that THC products actually cure the cancer itself... There isn't anything out there that 'CURES' cancer, because we never know if we have ever completely eliminated the cancer cells from the body. Have you noticed that people don't bounce out of medical appointments and say they're CURED of cancer? Their doctors instead say they're IN REMISSION. This is as good as it gets in the oncology world. REMISSION means the cancerous cells have been reduced in numbers. To be in full remission often means the cancer cells have reduced to a 'less than detectable level'. The cancerous cell count MIGHT be zero, but unfortunately it MIGHT be anywhere between zero and up to half to one billion cells (roughly half a cubic centimetre), which is generally understood to be the detection limit of tumours with modern day technology. Those remaining cells continue to grow and spread, which is why those who have been IN REMISSION can often 'relapse' with further growth and/or metastases later on. There are surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic treatments available that can be used to fight cancer, but there is no such thing as a cure!

And to anyone who may be wondering, I work in the public health sector as an Oncology Pharmacist - I have no private interests or kickbacks from anything. How cancer treatments work is kind of my thing. Unlike this pathetic excuse for a documentary, I'm not just making shit up to sound intelligent.

This is typical of the big pharmaceutical companies and BIG gov't. They don't want a cure for cancer,as it is big business or money.This is why government needs to be downsized.We have been lied to and brainwashed for years and the general public believe and accept it.Everyone should view this video.Another thing,why is the FDA so involved with natural healing or the taking of vitamins.The minimum daily requirements they've made for the vitamin companies are way too low. Again,do they not want us to cure ourselves ? Its a question we all need to ask ourselves.Their isn't one documented case of someone dying from an overdose of vitamins.Further,how many people die from flu vaccinations(which is a hoax),and why are their so many warnings of these drugs if you get certain symtoms.Watch TV and doesn't it seem like we are getting more and more drug commercials.Its not a coincidence.Hemp Oil-if it heals,legalize it !!

I am a 21 year old female and I have hip dysplasia, which is a condition where I was born with neither of my hip sockets connected and, though it was corrected when I was an infant (with the use of physical therapy, surgeries, and a cast that covered my entire bottom-half of my body, disallowing me to move freely or walk at the same time as other children). I began having problems again with my hips when I was seventeen. These problems have increased slowly over time, eventually making it nearly impossible to walk. Recently, I had a surgery to correct this. Despite what I told my doctor, he believed that my pain had nothing to do with dysplasia, and merely fixed a fracture that, later, turned out to have happened due to my dysplasia and my hips literally coming apart from my body. After the surgery, I was in extreme pain. Though the surgery was performed on my left hip, my right hip became my crutch, and, soon, I was experiencing just as much pain in my right hip as my left. I was prescribed two or more Percoset every 4 hours. At one point, I remember not having eaten for a day and a half, hallucinating, incapable of sleep, though I also never felt fully-awake. I told the doctor that I thought that this was too strong and they told me that it was what I needed and that they knew best. Finally, I stopped taking it and decided to smoke a joint before going to sleep. Instead of being kept awake by the pain of my hips, while being dazed by the side-effects of the drugs, I was able to sleep. I still felt the pain in my hips, but only enough to let me know that it was still hurting. What really helped was that it calmed my mind and got me to eat again. Months later, I still have much of my prescribed Percoset. I continue to smoke marijuana for health problems such as migraines, which I get regularly, and my continuing hip dysplasia problems.

If this isn't the most ironic bit of news I've ever heard, I don't know what is.

I mean seriously. After all these years of false, negative propaganda about marijuana, we find out not only is marijuana not that bad for you... it's actually good for you and may offer the cure to cancer.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

This is truly a SICK, TWISTED world we live in.

"It is clear from the available data that cannabinoid receptors do exist and that they are present in mammalian tissues in high concentrations. Particularly important factors in the discovery of these receptors, have been the detection of large amounts of specific, high-affinity cannabinoid binding sites, appropriately distributed in the brain, and the cloning of a functional cannabinoid receptor. These findings are backed up by evidence that cannabinoids show a remarkable degree of chemical selectivity and stereoselectivity, that many of them are highly potent agents, that cannabinoids can interact with certain classical second messenger systems, and that the structural and geometric features of cannabinoid molecules governing their ability to interact with cannabinoid binding sites or second messenger systems closely resemble those thought to account for their characteristic pharmacological properties. That the cannabinoid receptor is a new class of receptor is indicated primarily by the finding that its amino acid sequence differs significantly from that of any other known type of receptor and by evidence that its recognition site shows a high degree of selectivity for cannabimimetic agents."

Hey Vlatko,

Thank you for posting this one. I really think that whether people agree or disagree with alternatives to Big Pharma, they should all have an opportunity to see all the options. And I think that Canadian Media, should have done a much better job, reporting the Supreme court case.

Your cool Johnny Thumbs gawd knows none of us knows what the people behind the post go through and I think it sux that you're ill - we've been using it as prescribed and as far as pain and mobility (not sure if it was supposed to help that or not) there is a noticeable improvement, especially with Joe who has some very bad arthritic hips (he's 6'6" and worked very hard his whole life) and I didn't tell him what this should/would or could do - I just suggested he take it and do a little research on it. He hasn't taken any Aleve since. We were just talking about it tonight and where I used to have to help him tie up his boots in the morning because he couldn't bend - now he's back to dancing jigs and lacing up his own boots - I've gotta believe there is some serious benefit here - as with most of mother natures flora & fauna - I wish you well and really appreciate the self appraisal - peace to you too (and all that :>} )

Hello again.

I was just sitting thinking of this thread and what was said and well ... I already mentioned I am ill myself and I think it would be the honest thing to come back and tell of my thoughts.

I do not know if this stuff does or will in future be shown to be able to 'cure' cancer or treat cancer or many other illnesses. I do know that it CAN have amazing effects on health and that goes for so many ailments that I won't bother trying to list them here.! I didn't mean to come off sounding so arrogant and harsh and well, a bit of a prick to be honest. Hehe. Let me just say that life was pretty difficult on the days I wrote!

Not an excuse - an explanation! Of course being in pain or whatever doesn't make me write things I absolutely disagree with, it just influences my erm, attitude towards others when I think they are trying to give people false hopes as I spoke of already. so I just want to be clear:

If you are wanting to, or trying this oil in the desperate hopes that it may help or cure whatever it is that you are suffering with, then PLEASE DO try it! I will try just about anything to benefit my suffering and pain and I am sure most people are like me. I wasn't trying to say this is a load of crap, my initial statement was meaning 'to say it is a cure' is a crock. That doesn't mean the stuff will not help or benefit anyone.

On the contrary, I tend to think it will have SOME beneficial effect on anyone who consumes it. Yes, I really do believe in the stuff that much :)

Like Tjo said to me, Let everyone try it for themselves and I am 110% behind that statement. Also I wish you reading this, that you get some benefit and we can all reduce or end our personal suffering and pain from illness one day.

I know, I've gone from 'sarcastic Mr angry', to 'corny almost christian'...hehe

Well I'm neither. OK then I'm sarcastic. And angry sometimes. I like to think it's in context at least 75% of the time. Anyway...what do I know, we are all irrational humans. Read 'Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland'. So yes, that was an apology of sorts to the people I've been speaking to here!

Peace and all that.

I happen to know that what Rick says is truth because I use the hemp oil medicine. Rick Simpson sells nothing, he just tells people about the medicinal properties of the marijuana plant. Those who are using it know the truth, it doesn't take smarts to see it... just the time it takes to do it. Prove it to yourself or not, who cares what you do?

jonny thumbs

Hmm very very good. The thing is, firstly I said Rick Simpson is spreading disinformation, that still stands. I was kindly sent a lot of documents written by him, by someone here. NOT ONE OF THEM contains ANY evidence at all and yet, every single one of them has Simpson claiming the document WILL contain such info.

Here is a quote from one article he wrote entitled: 'WHAT THE OIL DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT.docx' ... of course I thought this would finally tell me what I was looking for. Of course, it doesn't. If the guy knew this information would this not be the document he would use to put that information out there? Apparently not.

Here is some of what this useless over-generalising document says 'Over the years people have come to me who after years of treatment by the medical system did not even have a diagnosis for their conditions. But the oil exercised its amazing healing power and their medical problems were solved.' OK but how does it work again...?

'Another aspect of the use of hemp as medicine is its anti-aging properties. As we age, our vital organs deteriorate and of course this impairs the function of these organs.' I see, but how does it work? 'Hemp oil rejuvenates vital organs even in small doses it is very common for people to report to me that they feel 20 to 30 years younger after only ingesting the oil for a short time.'

It rejuvenates vital organs? That is nothing more than CAM speak for nothing at all. It probably 'boosts the immune system' too I bet But getting back to the point of his article, by it's title... So, how does it work rick?

'Many people who have taken the oil have stated that they thought it to be the fountain of youth. From my own experiences with the oil I believe this to be true.'
OK. we get the point there Rick but you are STILL not even close to telling us how it works!!!

'Throughout our lives the system has told us they want preventative medicine. Now what greater preventative medicine could there possibly be than hemp oil? Judging from what I have seen, if children were given tiny doses of oil each day like a supplement, diseases like cancer diabetes MS and many other conditions could be eliminated entirely.'

Wow! That is quite a statement Rick. I assume you are now going to take us through what leads you to make such fantastic claims...? 'Myself and many others have gone through realms of so-called scientific studies which I found to be mostly doubletalk and most of these studies were about synthetic THC which bears little resemblance to natural THC and its associated cannabinoids found in the hemp plant.'

Wow. OK Rick that is all well and good but would you care to list these so called studies so that the reader may judge them too, or, as I suspected, are you assuming absolute trust in YOU and no need for any reader to question you, therefore you leave out the studies you speak of!? 'After studying all this scientific jargon, I had learned what amounted to nothing. But the oil continued to work the miracles so who was I to question it.'

That says it all really. yes, WHO ARE YOU Rick? 'I had just about given up hope that we would ever find out why the oil worked so well [Yes, me too Rick!] for all these different medical conditions. But recently a lady named Batya Stark has provided me with what I think is all the missing pieces to the puzzle.' Oh Oh is this it, finally...? 'She has sent me a great deal of information about melatonin and the pineal gland which produces it. It seems that the pineal gland is in the driver’s seat when it comes to healing our bodies.'

Scientific revelations! 'Studies have been released that show people suffering from cancer have low levels of melatonin in their bodies. Also studies have shown that just smoking hemp can raise the melatonin levels in our bodies. So one can only imagine what the oil that is in a concentrated state can do to increase melatonin levels.'

OK two points here. One: What studies?! Don't you understand, rick, that you can't just shout about studies and then say nothing of them. If you write an article like this then you have to have the guts to put all the information into it. Unless it doesn't exist? Second thing here: Correlation IS NOT causation. the fact that cancer patients have a changed melatonin level, plus that a cannabis smoker has a changed melatonin level (taking your 'facts' as facts) then that does not amount to any data that you can extrapolate a figure from that relates to the relationship between cannabis smoking and cancer!

Even a 1st year student will know that. So you can imagine yes, but don't go around saying 'how the oil works' and 'the oil is a cure all for all diseases' when it quite clearly, isn't.

He goes on, digging a deeper hole of pseudo-scientific fallacies and absolute codswallop.. ''As we age we acidify and cancer thrives in an acidic environment. So bringing the body´s PH level up is very important when you are suffering from cancer and many other conditions. The oil works to do this but also other things can be of great benefit. Simple things like baking soda and lemon juice can raise the body´s PH very rapidly. HAHAHA so let me get this right, baking soda, being alkaline, will change the body PH?

I think not. How do we know the oil works to do this? Just because Rick says so? This is turning into more of a farce than I imagined...and I was sent this document as PROOF?! And finally, as I can hardly write the whole document out here, a choice quote from Dr Scientist Rick Simpson:

'Tumours are simply the symptom of an underlying condition that is present in the bodies of people who are suffering from cancer. Indeed this underlying condition must be treated to cure the cancer and prevent it from returning.'

Yes Rick, it's that condition known as cancer.

Oh he then goes on to talk of mobile phones and the dangers of the radio waves they put out. He talks of other various conspiracy stuff. Not once does he offer ANY kind of evidence at all. He thinks the pineal gland is the main problem area and he also thinks that cannabis oil (He calls it HEMP for some reason, I think to try to get it more accepted by people...again, dishonest! It is CERTAINLY NOT HEMP) is an absolute cure-all.

Think of this for a second will you: a cure all. it cures everything. Every disease we have, every sick child, old person in pain and all the suffering the world over can all be stopped by this amazing plant. I am the first to say the plant is amazing and I believe it but this is, as I said at first, an absolute crock.

To the people asking ME for studies...the law has stopped the study of this plant for so long, as you well know(!) so I am very glad at last to see that situation changing. Then you will get your studies. In fact if it shows cannabis to be able to cure cancer I will be here apologising you can count on that. I look for truth, I don't just discount things for no reason...what would be the point? I want a cure for things as much as anyone else.

What I despise is people giving others false hopes and spreading half truths... So cannabis can shrink a tumor, it can have effects on cancer. It DOES NOT automatically mean cannabis CURES cancer. It is a HUGE leap of faith and I am not wiling to jump blindly into it like the majority of you here seem to do. Go on then, just count me out. oh and if you really want to read the absolutes of evidence and facts from Rick then why not get a hold of the same documents I have been sent.

Oh, BTW, I have no connection what-so-ever to Mr. Simpson et. al.

-A gentleman had 2 weeks to live, weighing 82 pounds & wasn't eating anything. Was given a (Cannabis) brownie & within 30 min. said "where's the pizza".
JoAnna LaForce, Clinical Director, The Farmacy
-While THC may get you high, that opens the discussion as to why people prefer to drink wine instead of just grape juice!
-If Politicians, Doctors & Lawyers were tested for THC, Cannabis would be legalized in nano second because ... "The human body has the capacity to store large quantities of THC and it may remain stored for many weeks, months or even years."
Dr. Jonathon Arnold, Bosch Institute, Australia

THC (Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) achieves this wizardry by binding to protein receptors on a cancerous cell's surface. Once attached, the THC induces the cell to make a fatty substance called ceramide, which prompts the cell to start devouring itself. "We see programmed cell death," Velasco says. What's more, noncancerous cells don't make ceramide when they come into contact with THC. The healthy cells don't die.

"I believe that it's very possible that some people are in fact getting cured (using Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) in 30-60 days from being treated with Cancer. I think that's a distinct possibility again in animal studies & in tissue culture it kills Cancers. Do I believe that it's possible absolutely, but no nobody's going to do the studies. Because none of these drug companies are going to make money, because they can't patent the plant."

Well well well it would seem we have an alias amongst us!
Christian Laurette is none other than the great Rick Simpson!
Or, a huge fan of his who is determined to further the website of his, that DOES earn money(look it up!) and is NOT a non profit charity!
who ever this christian is, I click the link in his name and it takes me to Rick Simpson.
Hehe.
The plot thickens.

Hmm. Hey christian that was clever. You really added to the discussion there with that apparently witty comment.

The problem with people like you, that spread DISinformation without a care or a thought for the people you are really affecting, is that you're assuming superior knowledge (amazingly that no one can actually find in any kind of reasonable or scientific format, just anecdotes and whispers!) and berating or dismissing ALL who say otherwise, who cares if they actually have evidence for what they say!

Why don't you do some REAL research.

Run from the Cure is NOT SCIENTIFICALLY VALID!

IT DOES NOT STAND UP TO SCRUTINY.

In my opinion after many hours of research, put together with that fact, this means the case is closed until further NEW evidence is found.
If YOU and others like you cannot ACCEPT the TRUTH then that is your problem.

What a crock of sh*t.
Sorry people but you are ALL kidding yourselves.

This guy has NO scientific backing, his own studies, if you can call it that, are horrendous and the figures he has been quoting for years are just crap. He prefers to shower you with soundbytes, anecdotes, film of people who tell a moving story about being 'cured' of just about everything.

Well I have an illness and I am also a fan of weed, hemp, call it what you will and I can guarantee you that, today, as we are with all the knowledge we have right now, there is NO benefits to be taken from ingesting large amounts of weed oil.

Apart from the obvious benefit of course!!

Yes I know weed has it's medical benefits and I am not condemning those or saying they do not exist. Far from it. I get amazing help with increased appetite - from feeling severe nausea, and it means I am less likely to waste away with my illness getting aggressive. I won't even say what illness - it is not relevant in this discussion.

Just do your research properly and you will find that, like me, you will have to conclude that the great Mr Simpson is erm, incorrect.

I am not saying he is out and out lying and scamming (but remember people - IT IS A POSSIBILITY!) I tend to think more of the possibility that he really does BELIEVE what he is doing and in what he is saying.

The FACT is, he is incorrect.

It makes me sadder to have to accept this, so please don't be accusing me of being a nay sayer or a shill for this or that. If you wish to respond to what I say then please be serious or I won't bother entering into it.

I have looked into this for years and I am absolutely satisfied with my conclusion.

If all you have done is watch his movie and read the sites that support it then you have done almost no research at all!

I wish everyone who needs medical or emotional help, via cannabis or otherwise, peace.
