Cannabis may help slow cancer growth

Icannabis_leaf_WEB_300sraeli scientists have found that cannabis can help slow the growth of some cancerous tumours, according to the preliminary results of new research.

Researchers at the Technion Institute in Haifa decided to consider whether the plant, in all its forms, could have counteractive properties, reports the newspaper Haaretz.

Initial findings show potential for effectiveness in brain and breast cancer.

Research began a year ago under the direction of Professor Dedi Meiri and focuses on the cytoskeleton and cell division processes in both healthy and cancerous cells.

Early readings indicate that cannabis activates a of self-destruct mechanism in cancerous brain cells, although Dr Meiri says it’s early to draw any definitive conclusions.

A good innings

Richie Benaud
Richie Benaud at the Blind Cricket Ashes, Hornsby, 2008

We are sad to hear the news of Richie Benaud’s passing, and our commiserations go out to his family, and to all those who enjoyed his company over the years. Richie was a great supporter of Blind Cricket, and the Patron of the Inaugural Blind Cricket Ashes held in Sydney in 2008, where we had the pleasure of meeting him several times.

Gone is the voice of cricket, but never to be forgotten.

RIP Richie Benaud.

Been everywhere and tried everything?

Repeatedly over recent weeks we have been hearing stories of people who have “been everywhere and tried everything” with no demonstrable results or relief from their pain. If you know someone in that category, please let them know to check out our therapists. It is our pleasure to ease their pain.
