Can Hemp Oil really cure cancer?

No, there is no scientific proof that hemp oil has any effect on the progress of any cancer, much less cures it.
Those who claim it as a cure for cancer also claim it as a cure for every illness and condition – insomnia, overweight, you name it.
The evidence they present is not great. The testimonials in the film Run From The Cure are from people who underwent conventional treatment for cancer, and then tried hemp oil.
As often happens when people use ‘alternative’ (ie unproven) treatments, they have chosen to credit the improvemnt in their conditions to the hemp oil rather than the conventional treatment they have had.
How it works is this: a patient has chemo and feels crap, because chemo makes you feel crap. After the chemo is over, s/he takes some ‘alternative’ medicine; soon s/he begins to feel better. Well, that’s no surprise, you do begin to feel better when chemo is over. But s/he chooses to give the credit for feeling better, and for subsequent improvements in her/his condition, to the unproven alternative rather than to the conventional treatments, which have been rigourously tested and proven in double-blind clinical trials.
And that’s what’s happened with the people giving ‘hemp oil cured my cancer’ testimonials in RFTC.
There is no guaranteed cure for any cancer; and there’ll never be a single substance that cures all cancer because cancer is not a single disease, it’s an umbrella term for over 200 diseases different cancers, all caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them .They all respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them, so there isn’t a magic bullet that cures all cancers and there never will be.
