New study suggests the drug contains a chemical compound that could encourage cancer cells to kill themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at North-West University in South Africa found marijuana has anti-carcinogenic properties potentially effective for cervical cancer treatment. They found cannabidiol (CBD) triggered the process called apoptosis or cell death on cancer cells.<\/p>\n<p>Cervical cancer remains a widespread threat to women. The researchers said it\u2019s currently the \u201cmost lethal cancer for black women\u201d and the world needs an effective treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Previous studies already showed cannabis can help treat symptoms of cancer and the effects of chemotherapy. And some found the drug can even treat cancer.<\/p>\n<p>MEDICAL CANNABIS &amp; ITS POTENTIAL AS CERVICAL CANCER TREATMENT<\/p>\n<p>One study shows cannabis reduced inflammation in the body. Another research suggests it has anti-cancer effects that prevent tumor growth.<\/p>\n<p>One research team also found cannabis smoke has anti-cancer effects. A study in Switzerland suggests cannabinoids can soon lead development of \u201cnovel potent anticancer drugs\u201d because of the various health benefits they offer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, French researchers discovered marijuana smoking was safer than cigarettes. Their study shows the drug did not increase risks of lung or colorectal cancer, reports Motherboard.<\/p>\n<p>To date, doctors offer medical cannabis in capsules, tinctures, vaporizable oils, and other non-smokeable products. If health authorities approve the drug as a cervical cancer treatment, scientists are yet to decide in what form the drug should be taken as it could be in whole plant or cannabinoid therapy.<\/p>\n<p>However, researchers of the new study noted more studies are needed to verify the potential of cannabis as a cervical cancer treatment. The team published the study in the BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/cervical-cancer-treatment-cannabis-triggers-cancer-suicide.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"> <\/p>\n<p>News Moderator: Katelyn Baker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\" target=\"_blank\">420 MAGAZINE \u00ae<\/a><br \/>\nFull Article: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthaim.com\/cervical-cancer-treatment-cannabis-triggers-cancer-suicide\/66584\" target=\"_blank\">Cervical Cancer Treatment &#8211; Cannabis Triggers Cancer \u2018Suicide\u2019<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: Darwin Malicdem<br \/>\nContact: <a href=\"mailto:enquiry@tunemedia.biz\">enquiry@tunemedia.biz<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto Credit: Flickr<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthaim.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Health Aim<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women may soon use marijuana for cervical cancer treatment.
