In this special episode, Robin Swan sits down with Ian Jessop to reflect on the journey of Cannabis Health Radio — how it began, the remarkable stories that have inspired listeners around the world, the legacy of co-host Corrie Yelland, and the people who made it all possible. Together, they look back on nearly a decade of sharing stories of hope and healing while looking ahead to the next chapter, as Robin prepares to carry the podcast forward with the same commitment to compassion, education and the power of personal stories.
- Ian Jessop's final episode as host of Cannabis Health Radio (episode 499), marking the handover of the podcast to Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary.
- Ian is stepping down approaching his 80th birthday to focus on personal wellbeing and time with his three-year-old granddaughter.
- Cannabis Health Radio originated from Ian's time as a Victoria talk show host, where a listener email from Corrie — a cancer survivor given 4–6 months to live — sparked the concept of a cannabis health story-based podcast.
- After being fired from radio on June 21st, Ian launched the podcast with Corrie, initially producing one episode every weekday for 11 months before pausing for two years, then relaunching on a weekly format.
- Recording challenges included a venue refusing them due to cannabis content; Ron Zahar's Victoria studio and later Dan Humiston's Colorado studio (still used today) enabled continuity, including through COVID.
- Story-driven content was a deliberate editorial choice from the start — personal testimonials over business promotions — cited as the key reason for the podcast's success and its ~100,000 followers across platforms.
- Robin's background spans structural integration neuromuscular therapy specializing in brain trauma and spinal cord injury, with extensive work across NFL, LPGA, and PGA athletes, where cannabis topicals and psilocybin became part of her therapeutic toolkit.
- Cannabis has been central to Robin's practice from topical applications with professional athletes to internal medicine for life-threatening illness, with Project Walk's spinal cord rehabilitation work further shaping her approach.
- Physical movement was emphasized as essential to longevity — Ian's use of kettlebells (swings with 60 lbs) and grocery store work cited as examples; Robin reinforced that health is accumulative and cannot be reversed late in life without consistent effort.
- Corrie's passing was identified as the greatest loss of the podcast's run — Ian described being in shock upon hearing the news and considered ending the show, but continued out of respect for her mission.
- Greatest gain highlighted was the breadth of life-changing stories, including ~30 brain tumor interviewees with 28 still alive, and parents who recovered and will see their children grow up.
- Robin committed to maintaining the platform's founding values of love, care, and kindness, while taking a firmer stance against scammers and haters; she warned listeners that unsolicited inbox offers of miracle medicine are always scams.
- Educating the community to self-regulate — through tools like muscle testing and informed product evaluation — was framed as a key strategic direction for the podcast going forward.
- Robin brings a reverend doctorate background and a 30-year, 30,000-client practice to the role, intending to use her title formally to convey reverence for cannabis as food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and enjoyment.
- Ian expressed full confidence in Robin's stewardship, thanked his wife Liisa for doing all the work behind the scenes, and signed off as a future listener.

- John Prinz shares his story of replacing 1,100 mg/day OxyContin with medical cannabis, positioning him as an early "patient zero" in opioid-to-cannabis transition.
- A 1992 workplace injury at Simpson Paper in Anderson, CA led to five spinal surgeries, hardware implantation, and a spinal cord injury diagnosis, setting the foundation for extreme opioid dependency.
- At peak dosage around 2004–2005, John was prescribed over 1,100 mg of OxyContin daily alongside 13 other medications — far exceeding the typical 20–40 mg average — before the opioid epidemic was officially recognized.
- Dr. Lester Grinspoon's book "Marijuana, the Forbidden Medicine" was the turning point, leading John to recognize opioids as legal heroin and motivating his decision to pursue cannabis as a replacement.
- Transition off opioids took approximately 18 months of withdrawal, during which John developed his cannabis olive oil formula "Fusatima" — progressing from smoking to edibles to concentrated olive oil infusions.
- Fusatima is made with 3 liters of Costco olive oil and 1 lb of high-quality cannabis, slow-cooked at 180°F; one tablespoon yields ~300 mg combined THCA/THC, with a full dose of 4 tablespoons twice daily reaching ~2,400 mg.
- Lower heat during preparation preserves more THCA (non-psychoactive), while higher heat converts it to THC — allowing dosage customization depending on whether patients want psychoactive effects.
- THCA capsules made from raw, unheated cannabis are recommended for patients who want pain relief without the high, broadening the formula's accessibility.
- Post-surgery use at UCSF in June 2025 demonstrated Fusatima's clinical viability — John used no opioids after his sixth back surgery, self-administering the formula four days post-op with his surgeon's awareness.
- John's pain doctor Dr. Michael H. Moskowitz documented cannabis use in monthly medical records from 2005 to 2021, and those papers have since been used to educate other patients and gain acceptance from Medicare and Social Security.
- Advocacy efforts included writing Senator Dianne Feinstein starting in 2009, which John credits as contributing to OxyContin's removal from the market by 2011–2015, and writing Senator Obama in 2007 requesting rescheduling.
- Fentanyl's rise on the streets is directly linked to forced opioid withdrawal — patients lost prescriptions without a sanctioned alternative, and cannabis remains underutilized due to stigma even among marijuana advocates.
- Trump's executive order rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III is seen as a pivotal moment, though pharmaceutical companies including Jazz Pharmaceutical (105 patents), Pfizer (25), and Bristol-Myers Squibb (36) are positioned to commercialize it.
- Getting Fusatima into pharmacies — regardless of who manufactures it, including potentially a Sackler-backed company — is the stated goal, as insurance reimbursement only becomes possible once it reaches the pharmacy system.
- Core takeaway: growing your own cannabis is the most reliable path to access and affordability — patients who don't grow will struggle to maintain supply, and self-sufficiency is framed as the foundation of medical freedom.

- Chronic pain originated from genetic degenerative disc disease after the birth of her second child, leading to muscle spasms, failed artificial disc implant (FDA trial), spinal fusion, and permanent nerve damage in both legs.
- At peak pharmaceutical use, Shelley was on approximately seven medications — including pain, antidepressant, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and panic medications — with five taken daily.
- Side effects from pharmaceuticals included nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, hair loss, poor nail and dental health, and chronic lack of deep sleep.
- Cannabis was first introduced by her Colorado chronic pain specialist, who permitted concurrent use with pain medication; she began with edibles primarily to address severe appetite loss and weight loss.
- Beyond appetite, cannabis progressively reduced anxiety, stress, and other symptoms, surprising Shelley given her Gen X perception of it as a "stoner drug."
- Her doctor's indictment for Medicare fraud in Colorado — abandoning 250+ patients overnight and destroying records — forced a pivotal choice; she opted to transition fully to cannabis rather than restart the pharmaceutical advocacy process.
- Going cold turkey off pain medication in 2020 was manageable partly because cannabis had already built mental resilience, contrasting with pharmaceuticals which she felt made her mentally unstable.
- Shelley noted it took approximately five years after stopping pharmaceuticals to feel chemically different — lighter and healed — underscoring the long-term impact of pharmaceutical residue.
- A spinal cord stimulator implanted roughly seven years into her chronic pain journey provided ~40% pain relief via leads and an internal battery; the leads are now burning out but she has decided against replacement surgery due to prior nerve damage risk.
- Current cannabis regimen: ~50mg hybrid edible (CBD/CBN blend) each morning plus smoking at night for relaxation and sleep, with the ability to self-regulate dosage by cutting down without withdrawal.
- Stigma encountered from her generation includes perceptions of cannabis as a lazy, unmotivated, or gateway drug — compounded by prior stigma as a chronic pain patient during the opioid epidemic.
- Cannabis is credited with delivering mental clarity and stability, directly countering the common misconception that it causes fogginess or impaired thinking.
- Chronic pain described as an all-consuming mental battle; cannabis enabled Shelley to stay present and mentally strong rather than constantly focused on pain — a key quality-of-life shift.
- Reflecting on her journey, Shelley's core message is to open the door to cannabis sooner, while acknowledging that everything happens in its own time.

- Ian Jessop interviews William Angolia about his 1985 construction site accident, subsequent chronic migraines and blindness, and his recovery through cannabis use.
- A falling sprinkler pipe caused blunt force trauma, a detached retina, permanent blindness in the right eye, and daily debilitating migraines that left William bedridden and unable to work for three years.
- Prescribed pharmaceuticals, including morphine-level medications, provided insufficient relief and prevented William from holding a full-time job.
- In 1988, a fellow patient suggested cannabis for migraines; William researched it, found documented evidence that THC lowers eye pressure in head trauma patients, and began smoking a couple of joints daily.
- Within three and a half weeks of starting cannabis and stopping pharmaceuticals, William experienced his first full migraine-free day, followed by weeks, months, and then years without significant headaches.
- Rehabilitation also addressed the practical challenges of monocular vision — learning to turn left instead of right, choosing seating positions at events, and compensating for the right-side blind spot.
- William became a cannabis legalization activist, sharing his story across the Northeast and contributing to Washington D.C.'s Initiative 71 in 2010, which he helped see through to fruition.
- Arbitrary THC blood-level thresholds (e.g., 0.04 microns) used to define impairment are flawed — no scientific test exists to determine actual cannabis impairment, meaning regular users can be convicted of DUI without being impaired.
- A pre-travel abstinence period before visiting Malaysia highlighted that stopping cannabis caused migraines to return, reinforcing its ongoing therapeutic role.
- Doctors in Thailand confirmed they had no pharmaceutical equivalent that could match cannabis for William's pain relief, and none discouraged its continued use.
- Cannabis access in Thailand is becoming more restrictive despite its 6,000-year history as an herb, driven by government desire for control within the monarchy.
- William advocates strongly for the right to home-grow, offering free grow classes and teaching tincture, oil, and extraction methods to reduce dependence on heavily taxed dispensary products.
- Replenishing the endocannabinoid system with cannabinoids allows the body to heal itself naturally — William argues this is straightforward science that pharmaceuticals and poor lifestyle choices undermine.
- Beyond migraines, William credits cannabis and healthy living for avoiding major health issues, surviving heavy COVID-era exposure, and managing hip pain without any pharmaceutical pain medication at age 69.
- Gratitude centers on being alive, self-sufficient, and healthy — with strong family longevity (mother lived to 99) and a goal of another 20 years — while his father's early death at 59 from lung cancer reinforced his lifelong commitment to avoiding bodily pollutants.

- Purpose of the episode: Jeff Krajnak, a combat veteran, shares how medical cannabis helped him reduce opioid dependency and how THC metabolite laws led to criminal charges despite no impairment.
- Military service with the Navy Seabees and SEAL teams in Iraq and Afghanistan left Jeff with severe PTSD, fibromyalgia, and ankylosing spondylitis, resulting in a medical discharge in December 2013.
- Post-discharge, Jeff was consuming 11 opioid and psychiatric pills daily, drinking a bottle of vodka a day, and described himself as detached, suicidal, and hospitalized in a psych ward for eight days.
- Switching to medical cannabis — an indica strain for sleep and a CBD cream for pain — allowed Jeff to reduce from 11 pills to just one, and eventually quit opioids entirely.
- A 2017 car accident occurred when another driver ran a red light; Jeff and his son were uninjured, he cooperated with police, passed three field sobriety tests, and showed no signs of impairment.
- Despite every officer on scene testifying he was not impaired, Jeff was arrested 32 days later by a SWAT team due to THC metabolites in his blood — 4 nanograms active, 40 nanograms metabolite — exceeding Nevada's 2-nanogram legal limit.
- Charges included two felony B counts — felony DUI resulting in death and felony child neglect — carrying a potential 16–20 year prison sentence.
- Jeff accepted an Alford plea to felony reckless driving and misdemeanor DUI; the judge acknowledged he was not impaired but stated the law left her no choice.
- Probation terms banned cannabis use, forcing Jeff back onto 22 pills daily — highlighting the legal contradiction that allows high-dose opioid use while prohibiting medical cannabis.
- Nevada's 2-nanogram THC limit dates to 1999 and is based on a 1986–87 study measuring residual THC in reckless drivers' urine — not impairment — making it scientifically unsound.
- THC can remain in blood for weeks in chronic users, and up to 90 days depending on testing method and consumption type, meaning the legal limit bears no relationship to actual impairment.
- Other states apply higher or more flexible standards — California, Washington, and Colorado allow 5 nanograms with rebuttal options, and Michigan does not prosecute medical patients — contrasting sharply with Nevada's near-zero-tolerance approach.
- Jeff advocates for impairment-based DUI laws rather than residual THC thresholds, arguing that trained Drug Recognition Experts can assess actual impairment without relying on metabolite levels.
- As president of the Coalition for Patient Rights, Jeff is pushing for federal cannabis de-scheduling — arguing Schedule 3 is insufficient — and working with NORML, MPP, and other organizations to advance legislative reform.

- Connor McCrossan and his mother Tammy share their experience with Connor's brain tumour diagnosis, treatment decisions, and recovery — with a focus on cannabis as a therapeutic alternative.
- Connor began experiencing minor headaches and fatigue in late 2023 before travelling to Thailand in January 2024, initially managing symptoms with paracetamol without informing anyone.
- Symptoms worsened significantly in Chiang Mai by mid-February 2024 — severe dizziness, imbalance, violent morning sickness, and migraines — which a local Thai hospital attributed to a virus and treated with anti-dizziness medication.
- Connor flew home after instinct told him something was seriously wrong, enduring an 18-hour journey via Hong Kong to Manchester without disclosing the severity of his condition to Tammy.
- Back in the UK, Connor was repeatedly sent home by doctors despite continuous vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, and deteriorating condition over eight days.
- Tammy and her sister pushed persistently for an MRI scan, which hospital staff initially refused, attributing symptoms to an infectious disease in an otherwise fit 23-year-old.
- A partial MRI scan — completed before Connor had to press the emergency button due to projectile vomiting — revealed an abnormality, leading to a midnight transfer to neurology.
- Connor was told alone at 23, at midnight, that a large mass had been found on the rear of his brain; the diagnosis was later confirmed as a grade 4 medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive tumour not seen at Preston Hospital in 14–15 years.
- A nine-hour surgery successfully removed the tumour, with symptoms largely vanishing within days post-operation; Connor was discharged approximately one week later.
- On receiving the confirmed cancer diagnosis, Connor adopted a determined mindset — responding to the neurologist's "you're not out of the woods yet" with "yes I am, because it had me against the ropes and now it's my turn."
- Connor declined chemotherapy due to the risk of developing leukaemia and other severe side effects, opting instead for proton beam therapy at The Christie in Manchester alongside a cannabis-based protocol.
- Tammy researched and introduced a cannabis suppository protocol — half a gram in the morning, half a gram at night — sourced through Corey Yelland's network, later supplemented with oral CBD and THC tinctures.
- Cannabis also helped Tammy manage severe anxiety developed during Connor's illness; she later identified PTSD symptoms that emerged after Connor received multiple clear scans.
- Connor is now fully recovered — driving, working full-time, boxing training, and completing multiple 10K runs — with little to no lasting side effects, now on six consecutive clear scans.
- Connor advocates strongly for cannabis as a cancer treatment, arguing patients have everything to gain and nothing to lose, and calling for its legalisation as a therapeutic option.

- Cannabis Health Radio podcast episode exploring how cannabis helped Miranda May process grief after losing her husband, and how she now helps others through loss.
- Miranda's husband Lance died in a motorcycle accident in 2009, one year into their marriage — leaving her widowed at 27 while he was 36.
- Grief compounded by prior trauma: parents' divorce at age 5, abandonment issues, and a second marriage that ended in divorce one year after Lance's death.
- Nine years of suppressed grief, guilt, and depression followed — Miranda identifies avoidance of difficult emotions as the core reason healing was delayed.
- Cannabis first entered Miranda's life post-loss through weekly sessions with a close friend; even low-quality cannabis calmed her nerves and improved sleep, appetite, and emotional processing.
- Alcohol became a long-term coping mechanism after those cannabis sessions ended, eventually consuming a bottle of wine nightly before Miranda recognized it as a problem around 2022.
- A pivotal moment in 2018 — smoking with her third husband Michael, a veteran cannabis user and fellow widower — prompted an inner voice urging her to "do the work," launching her healing journey.
- Healing required revisiting unresolved emotions from her first marriage, including replaying unsettled arguments, and ultimately rebuilding a spiritual relationship with Lance.
- Miranda uses cannabis intentionally and in small doses — 2.5 mg is her sweet spot — emphasizing that paranoia or anxiety from overuse is a signal to breathe through it and examine what emotions are surfacing.
- Cannabis creates homeostasis physically and emotionally; finding one's personal threshold is key, and Miranda contrasts this with alcohol's negative effects on the body and emotional clarity.
- Heart-centered healing is central to Miranda's approach — aligning heart and mind, processing unsaid words, and helping clients reconnect spiritually with deceased loved ones.
- Grief support must be sequenced carefully: Miranda advises working through shock and prior trauma before attempting spiritual reconnection, noting that premature techniques like the "empty chair" exercise can be harmful.
- Cannabis can be a valuable grief tool but is not essential — Miranda recommends it selectively and intuitively, always suggesting low doses with a trusted person present.
- Miranda works as a funeral celebrant via MirandaMay.net and offers grief healing and spiritual reconnection sessions primarily through word of mouth.

- Purpose of the conversation: Ian Jessop continues his interview with Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary, covering product safety, scams in the cannabis market, success stories, and how cannabis supports cancer treatment.
- "Backyard alchemists" defined as home cannabis producers ranging from passionate plant medicine enthusiasts to dangerous unregulated sellers; once selling to hundreds online, safe handling protocols and regulatory compliance become non-negotiable.
- Scammers targeting desperately ill patients via Facebook and Instagram DMs are rampant in the unregulated cannabis market, often collecting thousands of dollars before disappearing.
- Robin Swan stresses lab testing as essential—third-party labs verify both potency and contamination levels; buyers should call the lab directly to confirm it is a real, legitimate facility.
- Swan Apothecary ships to the US, Canada, UK, Scotland, and Ireland; its 30,000 clients have all come through word-of-mouth and podcast appearances due to advertising restrictions on cannabis businesses.
- Of Swan Apothecary's 47 products, most are CBD, CBG, and CBC-focused with only trace THC; flagship product Fire Kitty—infused with frankincense, myrrh, calendula, cinnamon, rosemary, and cannabinoids—tests below 1% THC and is used for neuropathy, seizures, and arthritis.
- Education is Robin's primary tool against scammers; an informed consumer is far less likely to be defrauded, and she positions herself as an advocate for consumer protection in the cannabis space.
- A 2015 leukemia case at St. Jude's: a three-year-old's improvement on Swan Apothecary cannabis oil prompted her mother to arrange a live speakerphone call between Robin and a room of oncologists; the girl, now 14–15, is in remission and has become a backyard herbalist herself.
- A second pediatric case involved a two-year-old with an ocular tumor at Rady's Children's Hospital; suppositories made from cartel-sourced "El Chapo" flower (200 mg THC, 600 mg CBN per gram) caused the tumor to reduce and the eye to retract for hours at a time—the child outlived her prognosis by 18 months and visited Disneyland.
- A pivotal 2009 case involving a power company executive named Lisa: two grams of cannabis oil administered over 12–14 hours stopped an active brain bleed, moved her out of the ICU, and gave her 30 more days of life—this experience cemented Robin's unconditional commitment to the plant.
- Cannabis plays well alongside most chemotherapy (except immunotherapy), acting as a protective shield that helps target chemo more precisely and reduces damage to surrounding cells and organs, which is why patients using it report fewer side effects.
- Fire Kitty applied before and after chemo infusions, combined with a light soup-based diet for two to three days prior and a high-fat, high-protein meal immediately after the session, is recommended to reduce chemo-related neuropathy and sickness.

Key Points
- Cannabis Health Radio podcast interview with Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary, exploring cannabis medicine's evolution, therapeutic applications, and patient guidance.
- Over 20 years, cannabis shifted from stigmatized to mainstream medicine — doctors who once feared calling Robin now send referrals from around the world.
- Key breakthroughs were driven by public advocacy, Rick Simpson's 2005 film Run From The Cure, and social media amplifying real patient stories globally.
- Modern cannabis strains have been hybridized to reach 35–40% THC, far above the 16–20% of the 70s — Robin flagged this as harmful, as it diminishes the whole-plant profile.
- Spraying chemicals on high-THC crops is contributing to chronic illness in cannabis users, a growing concern in Western cultivation practices.
- THC (2 molecules) targets cancer cells via apoptosis, while the C-family — CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC (60+ molecules) — reduces inflammation, repairs the myelin sheath, and supports healing.
- For cancer treatment, Robin's 30,000-client experience points to 500–1,500 mg of THC daily for six to nine months as the effective therapeutic range, not the commonly cited 60g over 90 days.
- Rick Simpson's gram-a-day protocol was based on naphtha extraction (~90% THC yield), but a gram is a weight measure — cannabinoid content varies by plant material and extraction method, so not all cannabis oil is equal.
- Strains matter when smoking but become irrelevant in concentrates — multi-strain compounding creates a richer cannabinoid bouquet, and dispensary sativa/indica labels are driven by terpene profiles, not plant genetics.
- Suppository dosing allows patients to absorb high THC doses without psychoactive effects — it absorbs into the colon wall within 3 minutes but takes up to 6 hours to reach the bloodstream.
- Robin recommends combining a nightly suppository with an oral dose using a 4:1 THC-to-CBD ratio, while daytime low-THC oral formulas allow patients to function normally.
- Cannabis and immunotherapy cancel each other out — science shows they are contraindicated, with neither working effectively when used together.
- On diet, Robin has not seen a single client survive who pursued aggressive restriction protocols (fasting, juicing, 20+ supplements, enemas) — nurturing the body and eating whole, simple foods with fewer than 5 ingredients is the preferred approach.
- Family dynamics significantly impact outcomes — one patient stopped cannabis oil due to family pressure and died, while in other cases families push cannabis on unwilling patients; respecting patient autonomy is essential.

- Purpose of the episode: Ian Jessop interviews Slavka Geary, a UK-based stage 4 HER2-positive breast cancer patient now in remission, about her use of natural therapies and cannabis oil alongside partial conventional treatment. 00:37
- Originally diagnosed at stage 2 in 2021, Slavka was restaged to stage 4 metastatic after a CT scan found cancer spread to her lungs within six months, with doctors giving her one year to live without chemotherapy. 02:55
- Skepticism toward chemotherapy was shaped by witnessing relatives and friends decline rapidly after conventional treatment, leading Slavka to question whether treatment accelerated their deaths. 04:25
- Initial natural therapies, including those recommended by a naturopathic doctor, were deemed insufficient against the fast-growing HER2-positive subtype; cannabis oil was not initially pursued due to UK legal stigma. 05:01
- Introduction to cannabis oil came through a church acquaintance, Joshua, who was battling brain cancer; oil was sourced from Czech Republic, but reached Joshua too late—two weeks before his death. 06:14
- After Joshua's passing, his wife offered Slavka the remaining oil; she began using it and found it effective, with her stage 4 lung metastases remaining stable and later reducing in size over two years without conventional treatment. 09:49
- Cannabis oil is taken as a nightly maintenance dose of 4 drops (1:1 ratio), down from 8 drops during active treatment; earlier protocol also included daily suppositories, which aided sleep, relaxation, and pain relief post-surgery. 10:55
- Slavka voluntarily stopped the palliative chemotherapy drug Enhertu (prescribed for life) after seven months, citing severe side effects including acute diarrhea, hospitalization, and feeling mentally and physically suppressed even at a reduced 60% dose. 13:16
- Residual effects post-treatment include neuropathy in the left arm and hand, linked to lymph node removal and mastectomy; fatigue persists, though Slavka returned to work after stopping chemotherapy to regain quality of life. 17:09
- Hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions were used alongside cannabis oil during chemotherapy; the combination likely mitigated the severity of side effects, as Slavka appeared visibly unwell during sessions shortly after chemo doses. 18:48
- Dietary changes included two years on a modified Gerson protocol—primarily vegan with weekly white fish or organic yogurt, daily fresh juicing, and one coffee enema per day; diet has since returned to a balanced, vegetable-rich normal diet. 24:02
- Mind-body connection was identified as central to recovery; Slavka emphasized that fear-inducing prognoses from doctors can negatively impact healing by triggering a cycle of anxiety that affects physical health. 27:22
- Cancer diagnosis fundamentally altered Slavka's worldview and emotional life; persistent background anxiety about recurrence and social isolation from non-cancer peers are ongoing psychological realities. 30:59
- Most recent scan showed lung metastases have reduced in size compared to the prior scan, with no conventional treatment since September 2024—only nightly cannabis oil and natural remedies. 33:19
- Slavka now informally supports one to two people per week affected by cancer, sharing her personal experience with natural remedies while being careful not to prescribe, focusing on emotional reassurance. 34:03

- Lynn's oncologist, initially dismissive of cannabis oil, shifted his position after her results — telling her "keep doing what you're doing" and suggesting they had considered a misdiagnosis before confirming the original diagnosis was correct.
- Diagnosed at 44 with glioblastoma multiforme and given 6–18 months to live, Lynn is now approaching 57 — a remarkable survival given the ~17% two-year survival rate for this cancer type.
- Chemo and radiotherapy were completed first — six weeks of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a six-week break, then oral chemotherapy — before cannabis oil was introduced.
- Residual effects from treatment include short-term memory problems and poor balance; hearing loss in the right ear (cancer side) was recently resolved by wax removal, which dramatically improved hearing.
- CBD oil was used during treatment, with full cannabis oil added approximately six weeks after completing conventional therapy.
- Maintenance dosing consists of two glycerine capsules of cannabis oil in coconut oil taken nightly, producing restful sleep without a pronounced high — described as a mellow, calming effect.
- Scotland's continued illegality of cannabis was noted, with Lynn expressing optimism that Scottish independence could bring significant policy change.
- Lynn continues to be contacted by others with the same diagnosis and advises them to do their own research, take supplements, and not simply replicate her exact approach.
- Diet was significantly changed post-diagnosis: only home-cooked, organic food from a local farm shop, eliminating processed and ultra-processed foods entirely.
- The journey prompted a deeper spiritual outlook, greater tolerance, gratitude for small things, and a new prayer practice — a transformation Lynn attributes partly to cannabis.
- If given the choice again, Lynn would not undergo chemo or radiotherapy, citing post-treatment research into its limitations — a view echoed by most guests Ian has interviewed.
- Cannabis is framed as effective prophylactic medicine that promotes homeostasis, not just a last-resort treatment for serious diagnoses.

- Diagnosed at 34 as a highly active police officer with above-average vision and hand-eye coordination, Jason's condition was especially rare as it typically affects the elderly, organ transplant recipients, or those with AIDS/HIV.
- Cancer spread to the optic nerve destroyed one eye, which was removed via evisceration last year; a hand-painted prosthetic now tracks the remaining eye, and Jason reports being completely pain-free post-removal.
- Whole-brain radiation was firmly refused due to the risk of permanent cognitive and personality changes; targeted eye radiation (17 of 24 planned treatments) achieved remission instead.
- Fifth relapse in 2018 involved six brain lesions including one on the brain stem, a grand mal seizure lasting over five hours, and an inability to walk — Jason drove himself to the hospital and fell in the parking lot before receiving care.
- Radical lifestyle change followed the fifth relapse: eliminated alcohol, switched to organic produce, wild-harvested venison, exercise, yoga, meditation, and brain-training exercises.
- Cannabis oil use — oral, suppository, and vaping — is credited with reducing tumor spots on the left tricep within two months (spots were gone before conventional treatment began) and with providing neuroprotection against treatment-related brain damage.
- Doctors and medical staff were consistently unwilling to discuss cannabis on record, citing protocol restrictions and job security concerns, despite acknowledging Jason's survival as medically baffling.
- Autologous stem cell transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering New York was selected as the treatment for the fifth relapse; the procedure involves harvesting stem cells via centrifuge, freezing them, then reinfusing after eight days of high-dose chemotherapy.
- Jason's stem cell "rebirth day" coincided with his actual birthday (April 24th), Easter, and spring — an alignment no medical facility he asked had ever encountered before.
- Brain cancer's invisible long-term deficits — poor memory, balance issues, loss of depth perception, declining night vision, and seizure-related damage — are widely misunderstood; people assume remission means full recovery.
- Cannabis is considered neuroprotective by Jason; a single hit of a joint provided significant pain relief after eye removal when prescribed medications failed entirely.
- Growing up near a toxic landfill is identified as a likely environmental cause of the cancer cluster in his community, including his own brain cancer, his mother's fatal colon cancer at 56, and two miscarriages.
- Key advice for cancer patients: eliminate sugar and alcohol, prioritize high-quality food, maintain a positive mindset, cut out negative media, and seek community support — diet and mental state are the first areas Jason addresses when contacted by newly diagnosed individuals.
- Jason is developing a public speaking career and has two books in progress: Memoirs of Murray Road and Fifth Time's the Charm: The Remarkable Story of a Five-Time Terminal Brain Cancer Survivor.

- Cannabis has been rescheduled from Schedule I to Schedule III drug status, allowing more research and testing while reducing social media restrictions on cannabis information sharing.
- Geri shared that she takes absolutely no pharmaceuticals at age 68 and believes hormone replacement therapy caused her triple positive breast cancer that was 100% estrogen and progesterone driven.
- Geri's husband was diagnosed with a 22-pound sarcoma in his belly that went undetected despite regular quarterly doctor visits for diabetes monitoring.
- Her mother's lung cancer stopped growing after taking cannabis oil for one month, causing her to look 15 years younger and be removed from the palliative care list.
- Despite seeing positive results, Geri's mother chose to stop using cannabis and died because her programming against the "devil's lettuce" from the 1950s was stronger than the evidence.
- Following Rick Simpson's protocol, Geri built up her cannabis oil dosage from a grain of rice to one gram daily while monitoring her tumor shrinkage through regular ultrasounds.
- Her doctor forced her into early retirement without sick pay and refused to provide ultrasounds unless she agreed to surgery, despite the tumor numbers consistently decreasing.
- Geri refused all conventional treatments including 26 rounds of radiation, 30 rounds of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, herceptin, and double mastectomy with reconstruction.
- Research shows $200 billion annually is spent on cancer research yet cancer rates have increased by 70%, while the endocannabinoid system serves as the master regulator of health that 99% of people have never heard of.
- A friend's 34-year-old daughter-in-law died two years after breast cancer diagnosis despite completing all conventional treatments including double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemotherapy, and radiation.
- Mineral deficiencies, particularly boron deficiency, contribute significantly to aging-related health issues including osteoporosis, arthritis, weak joints, and myocarditis.
- Geri currently takes approximately three grains of rice worth of cannabis oil nightly on a toothpick as a maintenance dose nine years after her cancer diagnosis.
- Her brother achieved prostate cancer clearance using cannabis oil suppositories combined with minimal conventional treatment after being threatened with denial of knee replacement surgery.
- Plant medicines including cannabis belong in the human body and mesh perfectly with natural cannabinoid systems, unlike pharmaceutical drugs derived from toxic petrochemicals and fluoride.

Keith Petty believes he would likely be dead from alcohol consumption if cannabis had not entered his life, as he consumed alcohol daily for years and engaged in destructive occasional drinking.
- Childhood trauma began early for Keith with his mother's incarceration and substance abuse problems, his grandparents' divorce when he was six or seven, and eventual placement in foster care at age 13 due to medical neglect.
- Foster care placement initially created culture shock as Keith moved from a chaotic household where his uncle sold marijuana to a strict religious family with no television and church three times weekly.
- Violence occurred in Keith's second foster home over sexuality issues and an AOL gay chat room incident, leading to his placement with a neighbor who became his permanent foster mother until age 19.
- Alcoholism escalated after Keith's first relationship ended, leading to ten years of reckless destruction including credit card fraud using his company's credit card for partying purposes.
- Legal consequences resulted in Keith facing jail time for credit card fraud and forgery at age 26, but he qualified for Virginia's first-time offenders program requiring two years of drug court and outpatient rehabilitation.
- Recovery through court-ordered sobriety was challenging as Keith had no family financial support system, forcing him to give up his leased home and handle legal consequences independently.
- A severe accident occurred in 2020 when Keith fell while day drinking during COVID quarantine, breaking his tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus bones, requiring surgery with rods and screws and causing permanent nerve damage.
- Blood alcohol content measured 0.34 the morning after Keith's accident, more than four times the legal limit of 0.08, highlighting the severity of his alcohol consumption.
- Pain management options were rejected by Keith due to family history with opiates, and high-dose ibuprofen consumption threatened organ damage, leading his doctor to suggest cannabis as an alternative.
- Cannabis treatment began with edibles and vaping cartridges, successfully managing Keith's pain while allowing his doctor to discontinue his Xanax prescription and break a generational cycle of benzodiazepine dependence.
- Mental health improvements from cannabis included reduced stress, better ADHD management alongside his Vyvanse prescription, and clearer thinking without sedation or brain fog.
- Business opportunity emerged when Keith was overcharged at a vape shop, inspiring him to convert his old party bus into a mobile cannabis dispensary serving farmer's markets, biker events, and local fairs.
- Sobriety from alcohol has been maintained for two years without AA meetings, as cannabis helped Keith view alcohol differently and removed its appeal entirely.

- Symptoms leading to diagnosis included progressively worsening headaches, tinnitus with pulsing in ears, dizziness, and immense head pressure during treadmill training that prompted an emergency eye exam revealing severe optic nerve bleeding.
- Surgery on November 1st, 2022 successfully removed 60 to 70% of the brain tumor, with the surgeon surprised Nathan didn't have a speech impediment given the tumor's extremely large size.
- Two weeks before diagnosis, Nathan heard a podcast about a man alleging to cure cancer with cannabis oil, and this person was providing the treatment free to cancer patients for seven years.
- Treatment protocol involved taking 10 pills daily containing 44 milligrams of cannabis each, combined initially with six cycles of chemotherapy and radiation, followed by six additional cycles of chemotherapy.
- Nathan's oncologist initially called the cannabis treatment a scam but later became encouraging about continuing the pills, stating Nathan was his best brain cancer patient at BC Cancer and that he never sees such results.
- Psychological impact included severe trauma for Nathan, his wife as caregiver, and 13-year-old son who witnessed Nathan crawling on floors due to extreme nausea and complications including a life-threatening blood clot.
- Cannabis provided multiple benefits including pain management, emotional regulation helping with depression, improved sleep for body recovery, and reduced inflammation which aided his athletic training recovery.
- Nathan was declared cancer free in 2023-2024 after continuous tumor shrinkage, with his oncologist stating he does not relate Nathan's success to the chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
- Multiple doctors have looked at Nathan's case and asked him to confirm his diagnosis, stating "you know you should be dead, right?" due to the rarity of his survival and recovery.
- Holistic healing approach included eliminating sugar, regular fasting for autophagy, sprouting broccoli for sulforaphane, taking vitamins C and D, and daily grounding by placing bare feet on earth for 30 minutes.
- A false positive scare occurred in November 2025 when an MRI showed what appeared to be recurrence, but December scan confirmed it was an artifact and Nathan remained cancer free.
- Nathan now coaches other cancer patients and has seen success with three people who experienced pseudoprogression (inflammation mistaken for tumor growth) that later showed actual shrinkage on subsequent scans.
- His dog was diagnosed with aggressive malignant melanoma in November 2025 with high mitotic count and given weeks to months to live, but is now being treated with the same cannabis oil formula designed for pets.
- Cancer experience completely transformed Nathan's perspective from being depressed and unmotivated before diagnosis to becoming extremely positive and passionate about helping others explore cannabis treatment options.

- Goldstein's frustration with the medical system included long patient wait times of four to eight hours in emergency rooms and having to argue with insurance companies about necessary patient transfers to higher acuity facilities.
- A friend's breast cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy struggles prompted Goldstein to research cannabis in 2008, leading her to discover the endocannabinoid system and eventually work part-time in a medical cannabis practice in Los Angeles.
- Epilepsy and autism represent the top two conditions treated in Goldstein's pediatric cannabis practice, with one-third of pediatric epilepsy patients not responding to any pharmaceutical medications.
- Treatment protocols utilize primarily non-impairing cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBDA, with THC used in medicinal doses that allow 70 to 80 percent of children to function without impairment.
- A remarkable case involved a nine-year-old patient with hundreds of daily seizures who progressed from being non-responsive in a stroller to saying "mama" at age 12-13, learning to crawl, feed herself, and use an iPad after years of cannabinoid treatment.
- Research demonstrates that longer treatment duration with CBD correlates with better outcomes, with patients showing optimal response rates at the two-year mark compared to one month or one year of treatment.
- CBD's effectiveness stems from its promiscuous nature, targeting over 75 different receptors including trip channels, adenosine enhancement, anandamide boosting, and GPR55 receptor blocking to reduce neuroexcitation and neuroinflammation.
- Different cannabis strains or chemovars contain varying amounts of similar compounds, requiring some patients to try 8, 10, or 15 different products before finding effective treatment, while others respond to any variety.
- Parents approach cannabis treatment with varying levels of apprehension, from immediate research after diagnosis to last-resort consideration after years of failed conventional treatments.
- Scientific literature now considers CBD an acceptable treatment for intractable pediatric seizures, with published research showing an 86% response rate for seizure reduction across multiple clinical studies.
- Environmental factors including increased chemical exposure, pesticide-laden foods like Cheerios, and processed foods contribute to the rising prevalence of childhood ailments compared to previous generations.
- Goldstein launched Goldstein Wellness in 2024, offering free comprehensive cannabis education to US licensed healthcare practitioners through 50+ videos and providing a free referral service connecting patients with educated clinicians in their states.
- Schedule 3 rescheduling will primarily benefit research opportunities and allow patients to cross state lines with their medicine, addressing the current problem where well children cannot travel to visit family members in other states.
- Research on autism patients revealed that children have lower levels of anandamide, an inner cannabis compound, and cannabinoid treatment can normalize biomarkers related to aggression, inflammation, and neuronal functioning while improving behaviors and family functioning.

- Mary Ellen began using cannabis at age 18 to manage PTSD symptoms from her brother's death by methadone addiction when she was eight, finding that cannabis smoothed out her restlessness, depression, and agitation.
- Stopping cannabis use in her late twenties led to everything going haywire in Mary Ellen's life, including doctor shopping for opiates, fibromyalgia diagnosis, postpartum depression, and five trips to rehab.
- After 11 months in a 12-step program following her fifth rehab, Mary Ellen read a book suggesting addiction was a choice and decided to reintroduce cannabis, which helped her life begin to simmer down and function properly again.
- During the years without cannabis, Mary Ellen's endocannabinoid system went into deficiency, and she believes seeking opiates was a sideways attempt to get rebalanced, though it only made everything worse.
- Cannabis creates homeostasis and balance by working through the endocannabinoid system's unique retrograde motion, where chemicals flow in the opposite direction from traditional neurotransmitters, acting as a regulator to slow excessive chemical signaling.
- Discovery of the endocannabinoid system's retrograde motion turned 100 years of neuroscience upside down, as it showed chemicals flowing from postsynaptic to presynaptic nerves rather than the traditional one-way direction taught in neuroscience.
- Mary Ellen was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer with no correlation to cannabis use, and received treatment from Dr. Gregory Weinstein in Philadelphia, who developed the surgical robot used for the procedure.
- Medical professionals at the treatment facility encouraged Mary Ellen to use cannabis during her cancer treatment, which she found unusual but supportive given her 40-year history with the plant.
- Five surgeries included endometriosis treatment, ruptured neck disc repair, breast reduction, hip replacement, and cancer removal, with the neck scan fortunately revealing the otherwise undetectable cancer.
- During cancer treatment, Mary Ellen took up to 60 milligrams of oxycodone per day but successfully tapered off following doctor's advice, using meditation principles and understanding that addiction thoughts are just thoughts that don't have to be believed.
- Cannabis continues to help Mary Ellen manage post-surgery symptoms including pain when swallowing, metallic taste from reduced taste buds, and lack of appetite, with small amounts motivating her to eat and care for herself.
- Remarkably, Mary Ellen's cancer surgery required significantly less intervention than planned, with surgeons avoiding skin grafts from her arm and leg that were originally scheduled, which she attributes partly to consuming CBG oils and RSO prior to surgery.
- People suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's likely have improperly functioning endocannabinoid systems that could benefit from cannabis intervention.
- Mary Ellen encourages people not to give up on cannabis if previous attempts didn't work, emphasizing that today's options are vastly different from 20 years ago, and even small amounts of CBD can provide significant behind-the-scenes health benefits over the long term.

- Robb experienced extreme fatigue, weakness, and dangerous bleeding episodes due to his condition, which required him to take up to 16 different medications daily including high-dose steroids and undergo multiple blood transfusions.
- Medical treatments included experimental procedures and a splenectomy, but doctors eventually told Robb his options were running out and suggested either an expensive experimental drug costing $600 per week or radiation therapy.
- A young man from Robb's church suggested medical cannabis as a treatment option, which initially angered Robb who questioned how marijuana could help when scientists and doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with him.
- Research into cannabis led Robb to discover Rick Simpson's story, Dr. Rafael's work from Israel, and most importantly US Patent 6630507B1 which lists cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for autoimmune diseases.
- After the splenectomy failed to improve his condition, Robb obtained his medical cannabis certification in Michigan in 2008 and purchased his first gram of Rick Simpson oil for $80 from a compassion club.
- Initial dosing began with tiny amounts using a toothpick to extract small portions of the oil throughout the day, as Robb considered himself a lightweight when it came to THC effects.
- Lifestyle changes accompanied the cannabis treatment including adopting an organic diet, eliminating processed foods, and studying the immune system to understand how nutrition affects overall health.
- Within one week of starting cannabis oil treatment and detoxing from prescription medications, Robb returned to work after being unable to work for over a year and a half.
- Robb became a licensed caregiver in Michigan, growing cannabis for five patients and eventually operating a 24/7 drive-through dispensary in 2016 with an on-site MD for patient certifications.
- Partnership with Dr. Calasperius beginning in 2020 created a comprehensive treatment approach combining traditional medical examinations with customized cannabis formulations based on patient needs and tolerance levels.
- Success story involved treating a six-month-old baby named Anastasia who was experiencing 100 seizures daily, using only CBD, CBG, and CBN without THC to eliminate her need for toxic narcotics.
- Frustration remains with public misconceptions about cannabis despite extensive patent evidence and 17 years of safe processing and provision in Michigan without any lawsuits or liability cases.
- Educational efforts continue to promote cannabis in all forms including hemp hearts for nutrition, emphasizing that the plant can provide food, housing, clothing, energy, and medicine while encouraging people to think independently about their health.
- Current operations focus on community wellness through the website communitywellness.life, offering various cannabis products including infused honey from a third-generation wildflower honey farm.

- Sasha Carr was raised by her father alone after her mother left when she was a baby, creating a unique upbringing where a 20-year-old male raised a female child.
- Her father was raised in an abusive, emotionless household which influenced how he raised Sasha, training her not to show emotion and lacking compassion in their relationship.
- After her father died of colon cancer in 2016, Sasha entered a destructive cycle of binge eating and taking handfuls of Tylenol PM to sleep because she didn't know how to process emotions.
- When Sasha visited her primary care physician for depression and sleep issues, she rejected the prescribed antidepressants and sleeping pills, choosing to explore natural holistic approaches instead.
- Cannabis entered Sasha's life when someone offered her a joint, and it helped her express emotions comfortably for the first time, calming the internal storm and enabling her to connect with people.
- Cannabis helped soften the edges of pain rather than dull it, allowing Sasha to experience and work through negative emotions instead of hiding them.
- Sasha taught herself to decarboxylate cannabis and make edibles, Rick Simpson oil, and other products, later attending St. Louis University's Cannabis Science Program where much of the curriculum she had already self-taught.
- Since Sasha had no friends who used cannabis, she created a local Nashville Facebook group for cannabis users that grew so large she eventually sold it, building a community from scratch.
- Women between ages 35 and 50 are becoming primary cannabis users for emotional regulation and trauma healing, taking control of their mental health with natural alternatives.
- Cannabis serves as a spiritual ally and meditation enhancer for Sasha, helping shut down her brain and achieve the calmness that meditation provides.
- For people experiencing deep loss, Sasha emphasizes they are not alone and can find welcoming cannabis communities through simple searches, even on platforms like TikTok.
- Sasha's father, who worked as a psychiatric RN, told her he felt like "a legal drug pusher" rather than someone helping people, which gives meaning to her natural healing approach.

Lindsay Gustafson was just 38 years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat forms of the disease. For two years, she endured conventional treatment. Then, in June 2024, everything changed. Scans revealed the cancer had spread to her lung, escalating her diagnosis to Stage 4. That moment marked a turning point, leading Lindsay to Corrie and to a cannabis protocol that would soon become central to her healing.

- Lynette experienced severe symptoms before diagnosis including inability to walk short distances without collapsing, constant coughing that prevented speaking, and extreme fatigue that made basic activities impossible.
- Medical professionals initially prescribed antibiotics three times before ordering urgent X-rays and MRI scans, which led to immediate referral to a lung cancer specialist and hospitalization.
- Hospital procedures included draining 1.5 liters of fluid described as "porridge-like" from Lynette's lung cavity, followed by surgery to fuse the pleural lining, but the left lung had completely collapsed making the cancer inoperable.
- Doctors determined chemotherapy was not an option and sent Lynette home for palliative care with an estimated survival time of 12-18 months.
- Monica Hayes, Lynette's daughter and a registered nurse, developed a comprehensive treatment protocol inspired by her partner Craig Burrells who had survived cancer using similar methods.
- Treatment protocol consisted of THC oil administered rectally three times daily at seven-hour intervals, combined with a complete alkaline plant-based diet eliminating sugar, dairy, and meat.
- Monica initially administered the THC suppositories herself as a nurse before teaching her mother to self-administer, noting the confronting nature of the intimate medical care.
- Improvements became visible within the first two weeks including elimination of coughing, reduced shortness of breath, increased energy levels, and Lynette's ability to work in her garden.
- Additional treatments included ivermectin, fenbendazole antiparasitic medications, alkaline water, and CBD oil to counteract the psychoactive effects of THC while maintaining therapeutic benefits.
- After three months of treatment, scan results showed 80% cancer clearance, prompting Lynette to perform a celebratory tap dance for her oncologist.
- Lynette's oncologist was thrilled with the results and noted perfect blood work, though the medical team was not informed about the cannabis treatment due to legal concerns in Australia.
- Family members, initially skeptical, became amazed by the transformation and now call Monica a "miracle worker" after witnessing Lynette's complete symptom reversal.
- Lynette's next scan is scheduled for Friday to determine if further improvement has occurred, with hopes that her partially collapsed lung may have self-corrected.
- Both women advocate for cannabis legalization and encourage others facing terminal cancer diagnoses to consider THC oil treatment as a source of hope when conventional medicine offers only palliative care.

- JR Richardson expressed overwhelming disbelief at his cancer-free diagnosis, stating he had been mentally prepared to die and was still recalibrating his mindset about surviving for his two children aged 15 and 17.
- Medical misdiagnoses occurred from 2018-2021 when JR's symptoms including pressure in his taint area were attributed to a fistula, fissure, and prostatitis rather than recognizing his PSA level of 21 as a cancer indicator.
- Healthcare providers failed to communicate the significance of JR's PSA level of 21, simply recommending a blood test without urgency, leading to a delayed diagnosis when his PSA reached 85.6 by the time of proper testing.
- Oncologist provided a grim prognosis of two to five years with palliative care options including abiraterone, steroids, and hormone blockers, offering no alternative treatment choices.
- JR declined conventional treatment initially, having been familiar with cannabis oil since Phoenix Tears and connected with Valerie Corral from WAMM, the first cannabis cooperative in the United States.
- Valerie Corral was identified as the pioneer who developed the 4:1 cannabis ratio and successfully sued the federal government after a farm raid, winning her case with Santa Cruz County support.
- Cannabis oil treatment began with JR taking a gram of oil he had made, but Corey Yelland advised switching to 4:1 ratio rectal administration for better effectiveness.
- PSA levels dropped dramatically from 85.6 to 29 within one month of starting 4:1 rectal cannabis treatment, and further decreased to 3.82 after receiving one hormone injection.
- Continued cannabis treatment brought PSA levels to normal range, with readings of 2.33, 1.82, and stabilizing around 1.72, demonstrating sustained improvement.
- Stanford Medical provided a second opinion contradicting the initial oncologist's palliative approach, recommending the Stampede Study protocol with pinpoint radiation on lymph nodes and two small spinal spots.
- Radiation treatment decision was made after consultation with a knowledgeable technician who explained advances in precision radiation technology, addressing JR's concerns about radiation damage based on his aunt's experience.
- Daily cannabis dosage consisted of at least one gram of CBG orally and two grams rectally with 10-20% lipid addition, plus additional oral THC, prioritizing survival over psychoactive effects.
- Valerie Corral's experience indicated that long-term cancer survivors in her practice had used both Western medicine and cannabis oil, influencing JR's decision to combine treatments.
- Recent scan results showed no metabolically active disease in previously affected areas including nodes and spine, confirming complete remission and validating the combined treatment approach.

- James McConkie represents the first guest from Northern Ireland on the podcast, discussing how cannabis laws differ between Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland.
- Medical cannabis is legal in the UK only by prescription, requiring patients to have one diagnosed condition and try two treatments before qualifying for medical cannabis access.
- James began selling drugs including cannabis and cocaine after his father's death at age 13, followed by his mother's cancer diagnosis six months later, leading him into illegal activities throughout his teens.
- Police intervention at age 20-21 served as a wake-up call for James, prompting him to completely change his life direction and stop selling drugs while facing potential prison time.
- Isolation and self-reflection became key strategies for James to distance himself from criminal associates and rebuild his life through meetings and personal development.
- ADHD and autism diagnoses came at age 25, explaining lifelong challenges James experienced with concentration, food textures and colors, and social interactions that he hadn't understood previously.
- Cannabis provides significant relief for James's ADHD symptoms including impulsiveness, inability to concentrate, and autism-related issues with appetite and sleep disorders.
- Medication reduction from five prescriptions to two occurred after James began using medical cannabis through private clinics in the UK.
- UK law requires medical cannabis patients to use only dry herb vaporizers rather than smoking, despite allowing cigarette smoking which is known to be harmful.
- James's mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and he has served as her primary caregiver since age 23, adding complexity to his personal challenges.
- Night terrors and sleep disturbances from traumatic experiences during his drug-dealing years have been significantly improved through cannabis use before bedtime.
- Private medical cannabis treatment costs up to 750 pounds per month in the UK, with premium flower costing 160 pounds for 10 grams.
- James now works as a cannabis advocate, collaborating with Life clinic in Northern Ireland to help others understand medical cannabis options and transition away from traditional medications.

- Craig identified his lymph nodes as the most difficult area to treat after the squamous cell carcinoma metastasized into his neck and spread rapidly through his body almost overnight.
- Black salve treatment was used successfully on two to three dozen skin cancers over several years, with one recurring lesion in the jawline requiring multiple treatments through the soft tissue.
- Craig's wife noticed a suspicious mole with irregular pattern and color changes, prompting her to urge him to seek medical attention despite his reluctance to visit doctors.
- Inspiration came from a friend named Mick from Port Lincoln who had laser skin cancer that progressed through multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation before doctors said they would remove his cheekbone and upper jaw as a final measure.
- Craig maintained a positive attitude throughout treatment, stating he was confident the natural protocols would work and never feared for his life, unlike many other cancer patients.
- Multiple lesions appeared simultaneously after waking one night with a line running from a head lesion down to his lymph nodes, creating a half golf ball-sized mass in his neck.
- Internal bloodroot capsules were taken as part of the treatment protocol, causing approximately 30 lesions to emerge on his back, arms, and legs all at once several weeks later.
- Rick Simpson oil was consumed at a dosage of two grams daily, taken as suppositories during daytime to maintain functionality and orally before bed mixed with coconut oil for better sleep.
- Family members expressed resistance and concern about the alternative treatment approach, with some calling him an idiot for thinking he knew better than doctors.
- Cannabis access in Australia has become easier through decriminalized status in some states and a government medicinal cannabis program, with much product imported from Canada.

- Surgery successfully resected approximately 85% of the brain tumor located in Jesse's left frontal lobe, but complete removal would have caused permanent paralysis on his right side.
- Conflicting medical opinions emerged as the neurosurgeon recommended watch and wait approach while the radiation oncologist insisted on immediate radiation and chemotherapy treatment.
- Decision was made to postpone standard cancer treatment in favor of holistic approaches including cannabis oil after learning about a promising trial drug called voracitinib.
- Contact with Corrie Yelland was established through a Facebook group recommendation from another astrocytoma patient who had success with RSO cannabis oil treatment.
- Initial cannabis protocol included one gram of RSO daily by suppository, CBD-CBG oral combination, eight-strain mix with 20-25% CBD, nasal spray, and comprehensive vitamin supplements.
- Remarkable improvement occurred within six weeks as MRI scans showed complete disappearance of tumor enhancement areas and one crescent-shaped tumor section, leading oncologists to unanimously approve watch and wait approach.
- Growing and producing cannabis oil became necessary due to cost considerations, requiring significant learning curve for indoor and outdoor cultivation within legal medical license framework.
- Medical team acknowledged Jesse's inspiring approach to taking health into his own hands, though they did not request documentation of the successful holistic protocol.
- Final MRI results showed no evidence of disease after over 900 days, which Jesse processed emotionally over the course of a week before feeling significantly lighter and more optimistic.

Key Points
- Rod describes his transformation from opioid addiction as "night and day" explaining that he now has hope, a house, and family whereas previously he had nothing.
- Medical complications began in 2015 when Rod developed gallstones stuck in his pancreatic duct, leading to gallbladder removal surgery followed by seven months of hospitalization with fentanyl, lauded, or morphine administered every four hours.
- Hospital discharge resulted in doctors prescribing 250-500 pills at a time with instructions to return for more if needed, leading Rod to take twice the recommended dosage without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
- Rod died on the operating table during April 2015 surgery with doctors calling his children to say goodbye, but he survived and spent another seven months in the hospital bed receiving intravenous drugs every four hours.
- Five years of cycling between hospital admissions and discharges followed, with Rod spending 15 months out of two years hospitalized, yet no doctor ever suggested he might be addicted to the medications being administered.
- Recognition of addiction never occurred to Rod during this period, as he genuinely believed he was sick and had no awareness of his dependency on opioids.
- A friend's suggestion to try marijuana came after Rod's girlfriend left and he had deteriorated to 150 pounds, appearing gaunt and pale, despite his initial 35-year abstinence from cannabis due to anti-drug beliefs.
- Cannabis immediately eliminated the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that characterized Rod's opioid withdrawal symptoms, which doctors had been misdiagnosing as pancreatitis and treating with more opioids.
- Additional health improvements from cannabis use included elimination of atrial fibrillation, cessation of cigarette smoking, and complete sobriety from alcohol since 2014.
- Rod's lowest point involved suicidal ideation until his two-year-old granddaughter sat on his lap and fell asleep, making him realize he couldn't leave her to deal with his death.
- Multiple family members and friends have died from opioid-related overdoses, including his best friend's son from heroin in 2015, a cousin from fentanyl-laced cocaine on Christmas morning, and two nieces currently struggling with methadone or heroin addiction.
- Transition from opioids to cannabis occurred overnight without difficulty, and Rod has not required hospitalization since beginning cannabis use, contrasting sharply with his previous constant medical interventions.
- Rod argues that cannabis serves as a "gateway drug" away from harmful substances toward better health, citing his own experience and noting that marijuana withdrawal causes only temporary irritability without life-threatening complications.
- All of Rod's current doctors are aware of his cannabis use and none have advised him to stop, though they have recommended against alcohol consumption, suggesting medical professionals recognize cannabis benefits despite legal restrictions.

Key Points
- Deborah's symptoms began in 2013 with weakness in her legs and lower extremities, initially misdiagnosed by her family doctor who recommended exercise and weight loss for two years.
- A CAT scan revealed the AVM was located in the very pit of Deborah's spinal cord inside the cord itself, requiring immediate hospitalization due to risk of catastrophic paralysis.
- Deborah underwent her first eight and a half hour neurosurgery while positioned face-down with electrodes monitoring her body, but the surgeon was unable to remove all the problematic veins.
- Following the incomplete first surgery, Deborah was told she would need additional operations and that her condition would worsen without further intervention.
- After four years of deterioration, Deborah underwent a second eight-hour operation at Johns Hopkins where surgeons successfully removed the remaining vein.
- Prescription medications including opioids, tramadol, oxycodone, gabapentin, and baclofen provided minimal pain relief while causing significant side effects and dependency.
- Megan Hall, working in film in Los Angeles, began researching cannabis health benefits as an alternative to help her mother avoid opioid dependency and early death.
- Al Marenton of My Fit Life offered to help Deborah after meeting Megan at a cannabis event in 2016, creating a CBD-dominant RSO with no THC to avoid medical benefit complications.
- Initial CBD usage was inconsistent due to Deborah's concerns about saving the product, until Megan and Al established a regular dosing regimen.
- Deborah successfully discontinued tramadol while continuing CBD treatment, experiencing complete elimination of her thoracic back pain and improved mobility including riding a three-wheel bike.
- Medical professionals initially discouraged CBD use due to insurance and testing concerns, but Deborah's pain management doctor recently expressed approval of her CBD-only pain management approach.
- Deborah now lives independently using only CBD for pain management, drives, and uses a walker for mobility assistance while remaining completely free of opioid medications.

Key Points
- Kyle Ring experienced a severe health crisis in November 2015 at age 36, starting with what appeared to be a cold that progressively worsened, leading to multiple emergency room visits where doctors initially misdiagnosed his condition.
- Medical professionals repeatedly gave Kyle fluids during his visits, which was counterproductive since his body was retaining water, and he experienced extreme fatigue where walking to the mailbox became exhausting.
- Kyle's condition deteriorated to the point where he passed out at the hospital, his body went septic with all organs shutting down, and his ejection fraction dropped to a critically low 8-12%.
- Doctors immediately blamed Kyle's condition on alcohol consumption after he honestly disclosed his drinking habits on medical forms, with three different doctors telling him the heart failure was his fault despite not knowing the actual cause.
- Medical team required Kyle to have a defibrillator surgically implanted and wouldn't allow him to leave the hospital without this life-saving device due to his high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Kyle was sent home with a battery-powered IV system that delivered medication directly through a line from his arm into his heart, while doctors could only diagnose him with viral heart failure.
- Doctors informed Kyle he would need an LVAD mechanical heart pump and eventual heart transplant to survive, requiring him to abstain from all substances for six months before being listed for transplant.
- Kyle began using cannabis on April 20th, the same day he was placed on the heart transplant list, after multiple prescription sleep medications failed to address his severe insomnia caused by heart medications.
- Cannabis provided Kyle with the first quality sleep he had experienced in months, and he continued using it despite initially hiding it from his wife who gradually became more accepting as she saw the positive results.
- Beyond sleep improvement, cannabis helped Kyle with anxiety, exercise performance, and managing pump pain from the LVAD device in his chest, which he could feel constantly and caused significant discomfort.
- Medical team discovered Kyle's cannabis use through drug testing after 6-12 months and removed him from the heart transplant list when he refused to stop using it, stating it was the only treatment that effectively helped his symptoms.
- Kyle's ejection fraction began improving within 1-2 months after the LVAD installation, and he regained a pulse within three months, indicating his heart was gaining strength through cardiac rehabilitation and exercise.
- Kyle currently takes only Eloquis blood thinner medication and has lost approximately 50 pounds from his original weight of 215-220 pounds, now maintaining 178-179 pounds and describing himself as being in the best shape of his life.
- Kyle advises people facing hopeless medical diagnoses to not give up, do their own research, and question doctors' recommendations, emphasizing that cannabis likely saved his life by enabling the sleep necessary for his body to recover.

Key Points
- Seadon experienced his first Grand mal seizure at age three, lasting over 20 minutes, with medical staff initially believing he would suffer brain damage from the prolonged episode.
- Medical professionals prescribed benzodiazepines which reduced seizure frequency and severity but required continuous dose increases as Seadon continued having seizures for four years.
- By age seven, Seadon was taking the maximum benzodiazepine dose equivalent to an 18-19 year old but still experiencing seizures, prompting consultation with alternative neurologists.
- Memory impairment was identified as a significant side effect of the benzodiazepine medication, causing Seadon to forget basic daily tasks and potentially creating permanent cognitive damage.
- Research into natural alternatives consistently pointed to cannabis as the only viable option, though specific dosing and cultivation information was extremely limited at the time.
- Pharmaceutical shortage crisis forced an immediate decision when Seadon's medication became unavailable, with Health Canada offering three replacement drugs including ones with suicide risk and irreversible liver damage.
- Cannabis treatment began with a one-to-one CBD-THC tincture obtained from a veteran's prescription, starting with low doses while simultaneously weaning off benzodiazepines.
- Seadon achieved complete seizure freedom for 11 years using a customized cannabis regimen of 20-to-1 CBD-THC ratio during daytime and 1-to-1 ratio at nighttime.
- Memory function significantly improved after transitioning from pharmaceuticals to cannabis, contradicting common misconceptions about cannabis effects on developing brains.
- Legal prescription acquisition took over 18 months due to reluctance from healthcare providers to treat pediatric patients, eventually obtained through a questionable cannabis clinic charging $2,000 annually.
- Medical establishment resistance continued even after successful treatment, with neurologists refusing prescription renewals despite 100% seizure control and excluding Seadon from cannabis epilepsy studies.
- Family doctor refused to write cannabis prescriptions despite supporting the treatment results, ultimately involving legal counsel when challenged about patient rights violations.
- EduCanNation nonprofit was founded in 2020 to standardize cannabis education and provide proper guidance to patients, addressing the lack of reliable information and support systems.
- Organization connects certified cannabis educators who are primarily former patients, aiming to share evidence-based knowledge and prevent others from experiencing similar healthcare navigation challenges.

Key Points
- Robin Swan explains her indigenous background and lifelong experience with psychotropic substances through the Native American church, having used peyote since childhood and incorporating psilocybin into her apothecary practice since 2014.
- Psilocybin mushrooms grow on every continent making them an open practice for humanity, with mycelium mapping similarly to the human central nervous system and representing the first life form to emerge from water according to creation theory.
- Depression and brain cancers became the primary focus for incorporating psilocybin into Swan's practice because cannabis wasn't adequately addressing these conditions, particularly given that mushrooms create neuroplasticity and open new neural pathways.
- Working with NFL players and pro sports athletes for 15 years revealed that psilocybin significantly helped traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery where cannabis had limited effectiveness.
- One unnamed NFL commentator client with 12 concussions showed dramatic improvement within three weeks of psilocybin microdosing, regaining speech clarity, eliminating blank stares, and completely stopping massive migraines that pharmaceuticals couldn't treat.
- Different psilocybin mushroom varieties serve distinct therapeutic purposes, with cubensis being electric and external for traditional psychedelic experiences, while azurescens provide internal experiences that create neuroplasticity specifically beneficial for brain cancer patients.
- Clinical studies from Johns Hopkins University, Harvard, and Emory University have documented psilocybin's therapeutic potential across 170 studies covering treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and immune system modulation.
- Parkinson's disease treatment with psilocybin shows remarkable results in reducing shakiness and mood swings while helping patients navigate daily challenges, while Alzheimer's patients become more fluid and maintain better memory connections.
- Psilocin, the active ingredient in psilocybin, remains active for only three days once extracted and requires specific ingestion methods, with lemon juice extraction providing faster onset within 15 minutes compared to capsules taking up to four hours.
- Swan Apothecary offers various psilocybin products including capsules, chocolate bars, lemon-extracted psilocin products, and a "hero dose" journey product containing 3.5 grams, all requiring two years of research and development before market release.
- Cannabis and psilocybin produce completely different experiences, with cannabis providing cannabinoid profiles while mushrooms maintain individual properties and create visions, heart-opening effects, and consciousness expansion that may have driven human evolution from apes.
- Common misconceptions about psilocybin include fears of wall-melting hallucinations and bad experiences, though the substance is safer than LSD as a natural fungus lasting 4-6 hours with potential weeks-long afterglow effects.
- Proper dosing and timing matter significantly for psilocybin effectiveness, with insufficient doses or full stomachs preventing activation, while the substance helps end-of-life patients live longer and have meaningful conversations with loved ones.
- Swan emphasizes that mushrooms help people embrace living in the present moment rather than fighting for future life, citing client Sally who lived nine years beyond her initial diagnosis and taught the importance of conscious, empowered living during terminal illness.

Key Points
- Zoe was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 17 after experiencing symptoms for four years, which was considered fortunate since the average diagnosis period for women is typically eight years.
- Medical professionals initially dismissed her severe pain as heavy periods, with male gynecologists showing less empathy than female healthcare workers, and doctors wanting to induce early menopause through injections rather than natural surgical menopause.
- Treatment protocol included multiple contraceptive methods like implants, injections, coils, and hormone replacement tablets that caused negative mental side effects, followed by laparoscopic surgery for definitive diagnosis.
- Psychological impact was severely negative, especially during her formative years, leading to lifestyle changes and the realization that lifestyle factors can minimize endometriosis pain and symptoms.
- Heavy pharmaceutical dependency developed with doctors prescribing tramadol eight times daily for two years, morphine, and gabapentin, creating withdrawal issues that required gradual tapering under medical supervision.
- Six operations were performed over the years, with endometriosis affecting her bowel, uterus, and tubes, including the controversial removal of her left ovary despite right-side pain and ongoing right-side cysts.
- Decision to pursue holistic alternatives occurred around COVID-19 after her husband advocated for proper hospital treatment, leading to research into detoxing and healthy lifestyle implementation.
- Medical cannabis journey began with recreational use that showed benefits, progressing to obtaining a UK can card for legal protection, then transitioning to a proper medical cannabis clinic three years ago.
- Cannabis treatment includes THC and CBD capsules for bowel-related symptoms, THC drops taken sublingually, and flower consumed through a Mighty Medic vaporizer, with monthly prescriptions and quarterly reviews.
- Remarkable recovery occurred post-surgery with no nausea or sickness, appetite restoration, and four kilograms weight gain after losing eight kilograms over three months of severe illness.
- Family support system including her husband with PTSD, two children aged 11 and 12, and her father who raised her from age five provides the primary motivation for maintaining health and recovery.
- Victoria, a woman who achieved 11 years of pain-free living through magnesium, supplements, yoga, and lifestyle changes, inspired Zoe's holistic approach combined with positive mindset training.
- Encouragement for newly diagnosed women emphasizes personal strength, connecting with online endometriosis communities, open family communication, independent research beyond doctor recommendations, and daily gratitude practices.

Key Points
- Roxanne's 78-year-old mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer at the end of 2023, featuring a 14 centimeter tumor on her ovaries that required immediate medical intervention.
- Before starting chemotherapy, the mother began a regimen of 80-100 milligrams of CBD four times daily, low-dose THC through micro-dosing, and methylene blue twice daily to repair mitochondria and oxygenate cells.
- Tumor markers dropped significantly from 593 to 473 points during the month before chemotherapy began, demonstrating the effectiveness of natural medicine alone without any conventional medications.
- During chemotherapy treatment, the mother experienced minimal side effects compared to other patients, maintaining her appetite, getting sick only three times, and living life normally rather than being bedridden.
- After completing chemotherapy and a total hysterectomy, the mother's tumor markers reached 17, dropping faster than doctors expected throughout the treatment process.
- When a new CT scan revealed a spot on the liver and hypermetabolic lymph nodes, Roxanne insisted on a PET scan instead of a biopsy, which the gynecological oncologist ordered after the first oncologist cited insurance cost concerns.
- Cannabis oil suppositories at 80 milligrams twice daily were introduced when the mother started a second round of chemotherapy, following the standard protocol for systemic delivery without psychoactive effects.
- After three months of suppository treatment, the PET scan showed no evidence of disease with the liver spot completely gone, leading to the discontinuation of chemotherapy despite the oncologist's initial resistance.
- Following a confrontational meeting where Roxanne questioned the necessity of continuing chemotherapy as a non-preventative treatment, the mother chose to stop chemo and continue with cannabis-only treatment.
- The final scan after three months of suppository treatment combined with high-dose CBD and methylene blue showed no evidence of disease, with the oncologist acknowledging uncertainty about which treatment was responsible.
- At nearly 80 years old, the mother maintains excellent health on a reduced maintenance dose of one 50-milligram suppository nightly, 100 milligrams of CBD with 10-15 milligrams of THC daily, reporting improved sleep and feeling fully like herself again.
- Roxanne's grandson with autism showed significant improvement after starting 50 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD three times daily at age two and a half, progressing from nonverbal with sleep issues to sleeping through the night and beginning to speak.
- Now nine years old, the grandson has transitioned to public school, achieved reading milestones, and continues taking CBD with sustained improvements in sleep and reduced meltdowns compared to his early autism symptoms.
- Education and overcoming financial interests from big pharma and alcohol industries represent the biggest challenges to cannabis legalization, despite clear evidence of its medical benefits and law enforcement preference for cannabis over alcohol-related incidents.

Episode 415 Transcript:
Welcome to Cannabis Health Radio, a podcast where we share stories from people around the world who are using cannabis as medicine. The information is meant to raise awareness about the health benefits of cannabis,
which should not be taken as medical advice. Now, here are your hosts, Ian Jessop, and Corrie Yelland Welcome to the cannabis health radio podcast.
I'm Ian Jessop. And I'm Corrie Yelland. In the years we've been doing this program, we've only had one interview related to neuroblastoma, which is a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. It most commonly affects children aged five or younger. Our guest today is going to tell us the story of her son diagnosed with neuroblastoma as an adult.
And joining us from London in the UK is Catherine who doesn't want us to use her last name so we won't. Catherine thanks for doing this and you know in reading the write -up you sent us I can't imagine what your son has gone through and you along with him.
Now it's been nearly five years since the original diagnosis. What is the journey being like for him and and yourself? Wow,
that's a big question. Well, when he was first diagnosed, it was such a shock because the tumor started in his smell nerve and it had eaten away at the sinus bones behind his eyes, wrapped around his eyes and it was as big as a small orange. It was enormous and we just couldn't believe it. He went into hospital and was kept in because of his saline levels and a nose bleed and we were so blessed because an amazing ENT surgeon was doing rounds the next day after his admittance and she simply said to us is the nose nosebleed always on one side and she sent him straight for a scan and she brought us into a side room and showed us the images and and it was really she said she you know like looking at the literature they tried to find people with this situation and it was as you say it's normally in children it had also eaten away through the base of the skull and the tumor had pushed up into the brain.
So from the imaging they didn't know if it was entangled with the brain, they didn't know if it was entangled with the eyes. So we had, she had a month to stabilize his condition and he spent quite a while in intensive care because of the salt levels in his body and then was was prepared for surgery.
Now I work with Reiki and I have a lot of friends who are complementary health practitioners and we kind of got on the case so everybody started sending Reiki, he went immediately on homeopathy, we tried to get cannabis at that point but in England we didn't have the capacity to get it at that point and then he had a very like the operation line.
About seven hours and they went in through his nose, cut out the tumour through his nose, another surgeon they cut out a diamond shaped out of his forehead, went in through his brain so he had an ENT surgeon and a neurosurgeon and they basically spent eight hours cutting out that tumour. Now it turned out it hadn't gone into the brain and it hadn't hadn't he didn't lose his eyes and it didn't damage his brain so that was the prognosis that that they could both happen and I really think that was a miracle at that stage that and neither of those things happened and when he went just for listeners how old was your son at that stage 20 22,
- Thank you. Yeah, so they didn't know how long it had been growing for because normally it's quite a slow -growing tumor and they reckoned it could have been you know since probably the age of 16 or 17.
Now I do remember when he was 16 he fell down a stairs head first, face first and smashed up his nose and and all of that kind, like, you know, ended up quite battered. And, you know, that could have been a shock that started it at that stage. That was the, you know, who knows, it could have been latent there from when he was a child.
I don't, you know, nobody knows that kind of thing. But yes, it's very rare and very rare in adults. So for him,
it was like they felt they had got all the tumor out but they wanted him to do what's that word like radiotherapy just in case you know even though there was no visible sign of any cancer left and that in itself was a miracle that they'd managed to remove so much tumor from such a tricky area.
So now he has no smell nerve, they managed to make a seal between the brain and the sinuses. He did suffer a period of brain inflammation. And you know, we had a few tricky days, very tricky days in intensive care where he was, you know, hallucinating and brain fever and all of that kind of stuff. And funny, when he went for the radiotherapy a few months later. later the oncologist said oh right hello so I didn't I wasn't expecting such a cosmetically pleasing result when he read Sean's case and I thought it was amazing that I mean it really felt like he was blessed and that he was blessed that he didn't lose his eye I mean losing your smell is one thing you know he'll never get that back and But losing your eye is
you know quite a different scenario. So, yeah Catherine what was his response to getting this diagnosis because he's a young man when he gets this diagnosis and Last thing you're thinking about in your early 20s is getting sick.
It's about you want to get out there and have some fun Yeah, I mean he's quite incredible Corey He he was he really is he's kind of very inquisitive by nature, so he was really into the whole process of what the surgery was. He got the surgeon to take photos of the operation and then they were, because she was doing it as a lecture operation and there was lots of people watching because it was quite a complex operation.
So I remember she and he going through all the photos of the operation afterwards. Now I couldn't look at them. I mean, I just, it was just ghastly. But he kind of approached it, well, this is just something I've got to get through and I've got to get on with it. And, you know, he was so grateful to all the staff at the hospital. And, you know,
we met some amazing people and we met some incredibly kind people. And he had this experience. experience that he never imagined he'd have and it was just well,
I'm just going to get on with it. So he was in the middle of his second year of his degree and they said to him to stop studying and he said I can't if I haven't got something to hang on to I won't get through this.
So he carried on doing his studies. I remember when he was having his radio therapy he was getting the having a treatment then getting the train down to sit an exam,
then coming back to have his treatment the next day, and that he was having them timetable his treatments around his exams. And now we're talking at two opposite ends of the country, you know.
So it was really extraordinary. He was just so determined that this wasn't going to stop him and impact on his life. you know, so yeah.
And they really felt that the chances of a recurrence of a neuroblastoma are apparently quite low as well, so and fortunately for him,
the neuroblastoma doesn't react with chemo, so they didn't suggest doing chemo with him at that stage either, so come kind of...
January, so he was diagnosed in August 2019, come January 2020. He was ready for his term abroad, he went off to Italy,
and he wanted to work at the Ferrari faculty in Modena University. That has been a dream of his, because they have this amazing wind tunnel,
and he came back two weeks later. later for a medical appointment on the Friday And on the Sunday, Italy went into lockdown with coronavirus So, I mean,
I felt he was very blessed that he wasn't locked down in a city where he didn't know anyone and uni was Stranded and everything and I felt really blessed. He was here The fact that he didn't have any of his possessions was tricky.
Um, but yeah, so he he kind of got off with it, to be honest. And he hoped it was done, but they had told him that if he doesn't have a recurrence for two years,
he's got a much stronger chance of staying free of cancer. So his second diagnosis was a month before that two years was up. So that was really good.
So he got his results of a biopsy. on his left lymph node the day that he got his results of a first in his masters and his degree.
So it was a really bittersweet day, but that was a tumor in his left lymph node,
much less scary surgery, much more straightforward operation. and again the medical model was go in,
we'll take out all your left lymph nodes, fortunately they decided not to do the right ones as well, at the same time I was really saying like God you need those lymph nodes,
you know they're just so important for keeping your body clean and everything, but yeah so he went in for surgery in so that was I think 21,
and radiotherapy again to the whole neck area. And I think at that stage,
that was much more difficult for him because it was like, well here I am, I want to get started with my life. And actually he couldn't face. he went to Whistler in Canada,
he went skiing and he just didn't feel confident enough to go out into the employment market, he was just like I just want to have some adventures,
I just want to kick back, it's been really grim, so he did ski season in Whistler that winter. winter and then stayed on that summer and then again The next year again,
just couldn't think about the future and he said I don't I just can't think about a future So I don't know if I have a future, you know, I think when you face death like that So,
um, yeah, so he did two years in Whistler and he was just coming to the end of his time in Whistler This was 2023 and we went out to see him just shortly before he came back and he was starting to look for jobs and starting to feel that maybe he could do that and he started to lose the capacity to speak and his words were slurring and he couldn't get his mouth to form around a word and I remember we were
sitting, we were on Sunday Sunshine Coast staying with some friends and he was like, "Well, I've looked up and it's either like some form of neurological disease or it's a brain tumor." And we were like,
"Okay, Mr. Google, you know, his first person used to say to him, "Get off Google," you know. So, yeah, so the next couple of days later,
he was really bad at work and he went to the doctor in Whistler and because of ski accidents and everything, they had a CT scanner there, so they put him in the CT scanner. Massive,
massive brain tumour. A large plumber, a small satsuma was the definition of it and I've seen images of it and it was huge.
So that was in the end. and I'm talking about a guy who's still cycling, still skiing, still hiking, you know, doing all of that kind of stuff. He'd had a checkup in January,
full scans in January. He's on annual checkups at this stage and there was nothing. So it had grown from nothing to that size in,
well, less than nine months. - Mm -hmm. - And, yeah. So it was... really massive. So he was rushed straight to hospital in Vancouver and surgeon,
amazing surgeon. Like really, I have to say, I thought that the whole team there were incredible. And there was a lot of risk to his speech,
his movement, the whole movement of his upper body, his cognitive skills. It was in the, the left sylvian fissure between the two lobes, between the frontal lobe and the side lobe.
Fortunately it was growing out of one point and because it was in the fissure it hadn't actually connected to either side of those two lobes. So again, you know,
as soon as I found out about it, I got an email sent. sent friends, so many people sending him Reiki. He was in Buddhist prayer, you know, temples. He was,
you know, just had like all the Irish were, you know, had him on the altar and, you know, it just so many blessings coming towards him. He had the surgery.
They couldn't take out all of the tumor because part of it was under a major blood vessel and the surgeon judged it too risky. to his brain health, you know, to dig any further.
And I think that was a really good call. I remember when he came up to intensive care after surgery, he just put Sean through this kind of really quick fire, a series of tests of reflexes and words and everything, and just his face, the relief that there was no... brain damage from the operation. So there was a one centimeter piece of tumor left.
And because we're in Vancouver, I had a friend of mine rang me and said she knew someone on the East Coast to clear themselves of cancer with cannabis.
So I said, "Can you tell me?" who it is?" So they said, "Well, the best person to speak to is Corrie, but I don't know if you'll be able to get hold of her." So I was Googling Corrie.
I tried to get it in 2019, hadn't been able to get it. And then the next morning, I sent Corrie a message, and the next morning Corrie had an appointment to do an interview,
and they had technical difficulties. difficulties so she sent me a message and said if you can jump on the phone now I can talk to you so I just felt it was all again more blessings you know more miracles coming so yeah so I think we you know this was all really difficult for him this third tumor and and this is the first time he was told that he could die.
He'd never been told he could die before you know so this one was quite major. It's funny because the other one was in the brain as you know pushed up into the brain as well but somehow I mean he felt this surgery was much easier but then I think he wasn't aware of all the times he he was in delirium and in and out and stuff,
you know. But I think it was difficult because he didn't know if he could keep going on with just being ill, just being ill, feeling like I'm talking a sportsman,
you know, who he doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he eats well, you know, he's a really sweet guy. Yeah,
so it was just like, "How can I stop this happening?" So he wanted to come home and he needed to wait until he had permission to fly because they needed to make sure his wound site had healed up enough and stuff like that.
So we got him on some oils in Canada. thanks just, yeah that was really good and that was helping him,
but then he had to come back here and by the time he came back in November and they scanned him,
the tumour had massively grown again. It was, I mean it was really... very aggressive, growing really,
really aggressively. It was not quite half the size it had been when it was first operated on. It was filling the cavity, the brain cavity was still there.
And they referred them back for further surgery, which was ruled out as being too dangerous. And And they put him,
started him ready for radiotherapy. So at this stage, we'd been in touch with somebody here. We'd got cannabis oil and a load of detoxing stuff.
So he was taking that three times a day. He was going seeing a counselor, which was the first time he'd seen a counselor. So here and I just it and it was like you have to deal with physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. You have to go at this with all levels because otherwise, you know, if you really want to know whether you can be in control of the cancer or not,
you know, you need to do this. So he's been amazing, you know, he's done the oil. diligently, he's done his detoxing,
he's been on turkey tail mushrooms, he's been having reiki every day, he's been on homeopathy, he's been having acupuncture three times a week,
he's been on a totally vegan alkaline diet since, like he was vegetarian before but he was eating a lot of dairy produce and you know he was eating occasional eggs and stuff so it's just everything got cut out you know every scrap of sugar got cut out every everything and the oncologist said to him in November that it was asking a lot of radiotherapy to clear the tumor that he felt that a good result would be if
it stopped growing basically. basically. And he was wonderful. We've lost Milla Karyankar.
Yeah, he was wonderful. Like the consultant was really treated Sean like a human being, you know, just really fantastic. And we just thought,
well, no, we're, you know, we're going to do everything and see, see what happens. And so the whole way through radiotherapy, they wouldn't do a scan until,
like they weren't going to do another scan until I think three weeks after the radiotherapy finished. So it started, so the diagnosis where it was growing and growing and growing was November,
2023, last November. And then radiotherapy started at the beginning of December, radiotherapy all through December. December into January, and then they scanned him the middle of February.
And when they did the scan, there was like the brain had all closed up and the tumor, it looked like there might be a tiny element of the tumor left,
but it was completely like you know from where it was before it was like just all gone. And he didn't know. whether it was tumour still, but I've seen so many scans of cancer at this stage.
It didn't have the bright white look that cancer has on a scan. It was kind of blurry around the edges, you know, didn't have defined digest.
So they spoke with us about chemo at that stage because they said this is chemo is the only thing else that we have, but we wanted to adopt a wait -and -see policy,
so they said they'd scan again in another month, so they scanned them in the middle of March and there'd been no change in that little blob that was left, so they think it's just scar tissue from the original wound site,
from surgery and everything. So, it's been a miracle. It's been an absolute miracle. And I have to say, you know, the oncologist was stunned,
stunned. And the biggest impact, Corey, is that Sean knows now how to stay cancer -free because he knows it wasn't just the medics.
He knows it was everything else that he did. You know? know. Right, right. When he, when he was just talking a little about the dosing of his oil. So how much was he doing and what method?
I mean, I know he was on a multi -stream four to one ratio that much. I know. But was he doing it all rectally? Yes, absolutely, all rectally.
And one of the things, one of the reasons he didn't, this is really important. One of the reasons he didn't want to do. do the oils before is he wasn't prepared to take anything orally because he can't bear that feeling of loss of control or high or anything.
So when you advise that he could take it rectally, that was such a game changer for him. You know, it was just like, yes, I can do this. So he was having one meal three times a day rectally.
(mumbles) November. So that's every day and now he's gone on to a maintenance dose of eight drops a day and he's going to experiment between,
he's still taking rectally rather than taking orally and what he did is he got a narrower syringe like a very narrow syringe.
because he ended up at one stage. The biggest impact, and we think it was the steroids, not the cannabis, was he had to do a poo frequently.
So he would do his treatment, then he wanted to go for a run and then he was needing to go for a poo. and this was really impacting on him.
But it turned out was the steroids that he was on to stop the swelling in the brain while he was having radiotherapy had impacted on the muscles in his anus and his buttocks so much that that's why he couldn't stop.
But anyway, he ended up using a smaller syringe. syringe which he found easier to insert and then you know,
he could still do the one mil with that. So yeah, that was that was that's still his preferred method. And I think we'll see whether he goes to having it under the tongue as he goes along because he's only been on this maintenance dose now for three weeks.
or something like that, you know. So, yeah. And he's very happy to continue taking that for the rest of his life. And he said to me, you know, it was funny, because he was doing so many things.
And some people were saying to me, well, how do you know what's working? And I said, I don't need to know what's working, because everything's working together, you know, like everything's working holistically together.
So, he said, but I do know know that the cannabis oil is the most important thing that I'm doing and if I miss anything that is the thing I don't miss you know so I thought that was really interesting because I was so pleased this time to be able to get it because I thought now he just has a way of keeping the cancer at bay you know so he's going to stay on his vegan alkaline diet that's an brainer for him,
no alcohol, no brainer, no sugar. And he's finding ways to live, and as you can imagine living in London, where eating out is such a big thing and night -slubbing are such a big thing,
you know. But he's wanting to find people to have outdoor adventures with. And, you know, he's been hiking on the South Downs and he's been, you know, doing some wild camping and he's training for a marathon.
You can believe it. So yeah, I mean, he's pretty determined. And when he got the diagnosis that he was clear, he walked out and he said,
now I know I will live to see another summer. So I was crying. I mean, you know, 26 year old, you know,
nearly five years with cancer and yeah, yeah. An extremely aggressive, you know, as it turns out to me, it's extremely aggressive in this case.
And what he's accomplished is nothing short of a miracle. I mean, it's absolutely amazing. Yeah, in such a short time. Yeah,
to turn around from having a tumor that's re -growing so aggressively in November and then by February, it's gone. I'd say that's pretty good.
Catherine, did this change your attitude about cannabis? Oh, well, yeah. Listen, I work as a healer.
healer. So, you know, and I met Charmin and, you know, I work with Reiki and it's incredible plant medicine. I just, what's so frustrating to me is,
you know, the value of what he had with the multistrains and the whole product and all of that. And they think, oh, well, this compound and this compound and then they strip it out and they take it,
all these different, elements and separate them. To me you don't understand, like they don't understand what they're doing, they don't understand how topically the whole plant works together and all the different strains work together.
So it's kind of nature creates this incredible product and then you mess around with it and you take out half compounds, you know it doesn't make any sense. So that's why I'm on orchestra.
this the UK company GW pharmaceuticals who does does that is it GW pharmaceuticals yeah I think so yeah but I think it's the same in Canada now I mean my friend who I was staying with in Vancouver her son is growing on the roof and all the rest of it but when she talked about the medicinal stuff she said since the new legislation it's just got so much worse because now you can't get the whole product you know
yeah so it's like well we legalize this proper not this part and that's just because you don't understand you know and I think just because you don't understand doesn't mean you you can mess with it you know yeah yeah you know you know Catherine I have a I have a saying that God what the Creator Creator,
whatever your belief system did not put that plant on the earth with all these properties in it for it to all be separated, period. Yeah, yeah. And I have to say one of the things the homeopathy has been doing is working to counteract all the like the radiotherapy and the steroids and doing a cleaning from that.
And it's like, I feel we've got one thing that's helping clean up. up all the drugs. And, you know, the medical companies will say, well, there's nothing in homeopathy. There's, you know, but it's energy medicine.
Yeah. And with cannabis, I think you've got the energy medicine element as well as the physical. You know, for me, it's working on all the levels, which is one of the real gifts that it has,
because not every plant has that. No, absolutely. Catherine, you remember when we started this interview, I asked you how these five years have been for you? And you said it was a good question,
but you kind of, you didn't answer it. Okay. I'm used to interviewing politicians. So I saw you slide by that one.
How is it being for you and your son? Let's start with you first. I Have to say it's been really intense one of the things that's been difficult is because I work as a healer I Immediately had a role to play and for my husband.
He felt he didn't have a role to play and that was difficult You know that was difficult for him and it was difficult for our marriage. I think it was difficult balancing.
I have three sons, so it was difficult remembering, okay, I need to, I need to be here for all of them. Um, and it was difficult to let him go when I needed to let him go and hope that he was well and,
you know, let him get on with his life. It's also been such a profound gift to me. get to know somebody so well and to have such a deep relationship with my eldest son,
you know, that's been an extraordinary gift. And I've seen things I would never have seen in life. I mean, I've seen incredible things in hospitals that I've become so intimate with hospitals in a way for someone who's never been ill.
you know, just witnessing things that go on when people are really unwell has been a gift and it's been, I think one of the biggest gifts Sean has given many people is the capacity to give to him because he's just the first night in intensive care after the diagnosis.
He said, "Mom, you must contact everybody you know and ask." them for help and ask them for Reiki." And I promised him that and that was so challenging for me because normally I'm quite a private person but I contacted everybody and I mean in excess of 100 people were sending him healing and then people were just coming up going,
"I heard about your son and can I help and I can do this. Would you like me to do that for him? I can do this. Would you like me to do that?" and he was so open to being helped this whole journey.
The openness and the exploration was just so rich. I can't explain it.
And he will say he doesn't view it as a bad thing at all. It's just been a very enriching journey. Yeah. And when he looked like he might die in November,
he said, I have no regrets. He said, I've done everything I wanted to do. And if I go now, I have no regrets. You know, he'd had his two years in Whistler,
he'd jumped off mountains, he'd been up in a helicopter and jumped off a mountain, he'd gone hiking overnight out in nowhere. You know, he'd just just had all of these adventures and he never let his health stop him having adventures,
you know, because he said, "If I can't live, there's no point in being here," you know. So yeah, and he's really shown all of us how to live.
Well, he certainly has. I mean, what you said, "If I can't live, there's no point in being." being here. I mean, that is a great comment about most of the world who just exist from day to day.
And without any appreciation for life itself. And when you get into a life -threatening situation like that, you do have an appreciation for life, a renewed appreciation. And I think that's what he has.
And you yourself I imagine, have been given renewed appreciation for the life, his life, and you look at your life differently,
do you? - Oh, absolutely, absolutely, yeah. Yeah, I mean, both my husband and I are working part -time where planting trees and making time in nature and all of that kind of stuff.
And we've just trimmed our financial outgo. to match our incomeings and just gone, no, we can't wait for some future Nirvana point,
you know, we need to live now. Yeah. Yeah. And that's interesting, because so many people spend so much of their life being afraid to die,
that they don't live, you know. And I think we have completely flipped that and actually, you you know, if I was to go tomorrow, I have no regrets You know, there's lots of things I still want to do But I feel that,
you know, we're having adventures in the moment Just not putting things off anymore, you know, because that's a very big thing. I'll do that next year I'll do that next year, you know,
and next year never comes. So damn it. Catherine do it now. Yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Catherine, it's a wonderful story you've told us about your son and what he's gone through and what the two of you,
what you've gone through as a family. And I think other people listening to what you said will be inspired. And I know that somewhere in the world you will change a life or a number of lives from what you've told us.
We greatly appreciate it. - Thank you so much. Thank you. And no, there's always hope. If you have a will to live, the universe responds to that and will tell you how you can do it.

Mandy researched natural methods for treatment, including cannabis oil, and got in touch with Corrie Yelland. The improvement in Cheyenne's health after starting cannabis oil treatment was rapid and dramatic. Now 4 years old, she continues cannabis oil treatment and has boundless energy and a normal life. Her tumours are calcifying and her prognosis is very promising.
Almost five years ago, Corrie Yelland was given a death sentence by doctors: undergo radiation for your cancer (with devastating side effects) or you will be dead within months. She refused conventional treatment, researched cannabis oil and started taking it. The next time she saw her doctor, she was cancer free. Since then, Corrie has helped thousands of people around the world with their health issues by sharing information about medical cannabis.
