Meet Our Members: Bruce

Bruce, a current King Harvest member, recently battled Prostate Cancer. He was diagnosed last year and went through radiation therapy which Bruce says, “Hurt a lot”. Radiation therapy was what his family wanted and what the doctor suggested, but a friend of Bruce’s had another idea. Bruce’s friend is a member of King Harvest and thought cannabis oil would be beneficial. Bruce called King Harvest and ordered a Speck Pack along with 60 grams of FECO. 

Confessions of a Dosing Specialist: Osteosarcoma

Susie is a 6 year old Lab who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, found in one of her hind legs. Her family was devastated, especially since Susie was not very old. For many dogs who get this type of cancer, the prognosis is not very hopeful. For many dogs, Osteosarcoma can be a death sentence. It is not uncommon for dogs to require a leg amputation, in an attempt to keep the cancer from spreading.

Cannabis Can Help with Insomnia

The ability to have a good night’s sleep is crucial for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being, yet for so many people it can be frustratingly elusive. As reported by researchers at the American Sleep Association, up to 70 million adults suffer from sleep disorders in the U.S. alone (sleepassociation.org) and the numbers of those affected are rising.

Cannabis Treatment for ALS

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, informally known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord, brain, and motor cortex that control voluntary muscles. Patients suffering from ALS can eventually lose their ability to eat, move, speak, and breathe.

Cannabis for Asthma

For the millions of people suffering from asthma worldwide, daily coughing fits and shortness of breath are an unpleasant reality. An estimated 1 in 12 people suffer from asthma, a chronic respiratory disease that usually begins to show its symptoms in early childhood. While the symptoms are mild for some patients, for others it is a serious concern that can lead to a possibly life-threatening asthma attack.

Lymphoma and Medical Cannabis

As with other types of cancer, lymphoma is an illness which can negatively impact a person’s life. In addition to the symptoms and side effects that are common with other cancers, lymphoma has the added strain of affecting the body’s immune system. This opens up the patient to the increased risk of other diseases.

Treating Glioblastoma With Medical Cannabis

Glioblastoma is a destructive and aggressive form of cancer affecting the brain and spinal cord with a grim prognosis. Even after treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, most patients only live an average of 15 months (abta.org). There is no cure for gliomas (brain tumors) and the current treatment provides only minor relief.

Medical Canabis for Multiple Sclerosis

Medical cannabis has had overwhelming success in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis for patients all over the world.

It affects the spinal cord, optic nerve, brain, and the body’s immune system.
