Study: Brain Cancer Cells Can be Killed By CBD By Targeting Mitochondria
Researchers at UC Davis and Colorado State University have discovered that CBD can cause the death of brain cancer cells in both dog and human.
The researchers analysed the full-spectrum hemp extract, containing minor cannabinoids and THC, and CBD isolate for treating glioblastoma, a life-threatening and difficult-to-treat cancer.
Chase Gross, a student in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine/Master of Science program at Colorado State University, said in a statement “Further investigation and treatment alternatives are required urgently for patients affected by brain cancer. “Our work shows that CBD has the power to provide an effectual, synergistic glioblastoma therapy alternative and that it should be continue to be examined strongly.”
CBD was also coupled with hydroxychloroquine, anti-malaria drug. It is the same medication that got approval from FDA to be used in the emergency situation of COVID-19.
It had been found that the sensitivity of the CBD to the canine cancer cells would increase by adding hydroxychloroquine.
Gross said that their experiments revealed that cell growth of cancerous cells is slowed down by CBD. Moreover, CBD is also toxic to the glioblastoma cell lines of both the canine and human. However, there is very small difference in the anti-cancer effects of CBD extract and isolate.
According to researchers, the main mechanism of action of CBD to cause cell death, apoptosis, is through he mitochondria. Mitochondria is the component of the cell that manages cell’s metabolism and produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Mr. Gross said, “Over the last decade, CBD has been vigorously researched for its anticancer properties in cells.” Moreover, “Our study assists in completing the in vitro puzzle, allowing us to step forward in examining the effects of CBD on glioblastoma in a clinical works using live animal models. New treatment methods can be discovered that would treat both dogs and people suffering with this acute cancer.”CBD destroys cancerous cells is new research area.
A Complaint Is Files by The FTC Against CBD Company For Making A Claim That Its Products Can destroy Cancer cell
A complaint has been filed by The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Whole Leaf Organics, a CBD company, and its owner Marc Ching for making unauthorized claim that its CBD products can destroy the cancer cells.
FTC also stated that it was also claimed by the Whole Leaf Organics to treat the COVID-19 with their products.
Andrew Smith, Bureau of Consumer Protection Director, stated, that “There’s no proof of treating the COVID-19 and cancer with CBD products. It should be make clear that companies making such unauthorized claims can anticipate for legal action like that by FTC.”
A response was shown by the Ching by agreeing to initial command that would restrict him from claiming his products can prevent, treat, or decrease the risk of cancer and COVID-19.
According to the FTC, the way of marketing the CBD products by Whole Leaf Organics is here:
- “Our CBD-EX formulation is particularly produced to treat cancer and de-manipulate active cells. Our CBD-EX formulation filled with Curcumin, decrease cell inflammation, and at the same time specifically attacking the mutated nuclei.”
- “Carrying clinically tested constituents, CBD-EX is an effective force in anti-inflammation protocols, attacking manipulated cells while working to protect healthy ones. Formulated containing Coriolus Versicolor Mushroom, CBD-EX aims to hinder the expansion of mutated malignant cells by directly attacking the problem.”
- “The most powerful innovation in cancer and immune related proactive supplement assist in the past ten years. CBD-EX combines the best with cancer fighting elements, into one simple capsule.”
FTC in its complaint says that there is no evidence shown by the Ching to back up their cancer treatment claims, so the advertisements are deceptive.”
The warning letter had been received by the Whole Leaf Organics in November 2019, from FDA.
A hearing against the case will start on January 7, 2021, identifying the first legal action by the federal agency against a CBD company.
