David Burton has esophageal cancer and has been given 10 months to live.

His cancer, diagnosed in July, was too advanced. He was told it was incurable and inoperable.

“The chemotherapy I was getting was to slow it down and hopefully prolong life. But I was so sick. I nearly died. I couldn’t even lift my head up,” he said.

Then he began taking hemp oil and within a few days he noticed a marked difference.

“There was no blood, no pain, and I could eat anything.”

He asked to leave hospital and go home. “The doctor thought I wanted to go home to pass away. But I’m a totally different man. I’ve got quality of life.”

“The doctor says it’s making me feel good but masking the symptoms.

“To me it’s a miracle. I feel better today than I have ever felt in my life.

The sad thing is:

Specialists in NSW can prescribe medical cannabis products(TGA approved Pharmaceutical products) to patients under strict conditions, if they have exhausted other options, but this does not include the use of cannabis oil.

Now it doesn't say in the article from the Telegraph what the "hemp oil" actually is, not in detail. Is it a 1-1 THC/CBD oil, a tincture (mixture of oil and glycerine)
Does the doctor who said " it’s making me feel good but masking the symptoms" know of the human bodies endo-cannabinoid system?
There are published studies of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD killing cancer cells, this has been proven. Scientists such as Dennis Hill (bio chemist) who swear they cured themselves or stage 3 prostate cancer using just cannabis oil and didn't miss a day of work (he actually worked two jobs) Dennis also supplied his biopsy reports.
Of course the above mentioned studies are pre-clinical and the sad fact is, pharmaceutical companies are uninterested in funding clinical trials when there is no monetary reward at the end of it.
If they can't patent, control and profit from it, they're not interested.
So where does this leave those like David Burton? The pharmaceutical companies can't and won't help and the TGA only deal with pharmaceutical companies.
Around and around we go whilst our loved-ones die.



What a sad state the world is in when the law prevents a dying man, a father, the right to try and cure himself without fear of prosecution.
