CBD and Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer refers to any cancerous growth that begins in the ovary. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in women and the tenth most common cancer among women in the United States. Among the gynecologic cancers-those affecting the uterus, cervix, and ovaries-ovarian cancer has the highest rate of deaths. In 2017, around 22,440 women in the U. S. are expected to receive a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and around 14,080 are expected to die from this disease. Cannabis, particularly cannabis oil, is a popular topic. Understandably, many people want to try anything that may help treat their own, or a loved one's, cancer - particularly if things are not going well with conventional treatments. Cannabis oil is only one of a number of treatments people might come across. Cannabis oil can contain varying amounts of CBD and THC. Some of the diseases and conditions that cannabis oil has been used for include: Crohn's disease, diabetes, gout, pain relief, glaucoma, migraines, Dravet syndrome, asthma, Doose syndrome, epilepsy, anorexia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, opioid dependence, strokes, head trauma, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, HIV, dementia and - what I will be focusing on - cancer. CBD oil does not contain THC and therefore does not have any psychoactive effects. It can be sold in many countries of the world as long as it is sold as a food supplement and the sellers are not making any claim about its medicinal properties. There are a number of examples where people say that using CBD oil has had a dramatic effect on their health. These are testimony to the efficacy of CBD Oil as an alternative therapy.
