The following presentation of RUN FROM THE CURE: The Rick Simpson Story was made possible by Rick Simpson and video producer Christian Laurette. It is given free to teach us how to heal ourselves of chronic disease and serious illness using cannabinoids (from cannabis, a form of hemp).
Those who have been cured are are not asking anyone if it works. They are telling us it works. It is not a debate about would it work, might it work, could it possibly work? It has worked and continues to work.
Many inexperienced, uneducated people speak with minds full of bias about a life-saving plant they actually know nothing about. As a result they give bad advice and, in many cases, make horribly ignorant remarks. They decry the people who bring forward controversial information as if having a choice or hearing an alternative were a bad thing.

The Buddha spoke of Five Precepts as a means of avoiding suffering for ourselves, others, and society. The fifth precept is, "I undertake the precept to abstain from intoxicants." There are strains of the cannabis plant people abuse as an intoxicant.
This makes it all the more remarkable that the plant has legitimate medicinal properties. Its seed is a healthy protein and its oil is a miracle. Neither are intoxicating. Both are available at every health food store in the country. Now a mixture of the plant and its oil has been found to heal cancers and other ailments. But this is not a new discovery.
In the past doctors carried Cannabis indica (Indian hemp) in their black medical bags and used it liberally as a safe cure for treatment for many ailments. People will go on abusing this plant, just as they abuse far more toxic substances without concerning themselves about the physical and spiritual harm they are doing.
This is no reason to continue to criminalize and ignore a substance even Harvard University has to admit heals disease.
(IAMHEMP420) Cannabis oil cures cancer, according to Rick Simpson.
This is the oil, protein, and fiber without the THC (healthfulpursuit.com). What Harvard Found (RevolutionNews.US) Researchers at Harvard tested one of the active substances in cannabis, THC, in both lab and mouse studies. They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer.
The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.
Although a synthetic substitute of THC, known as Marinol, has been used as an appetite stimulant for cancer patients and other similar treatments, few studies have shown that THC might have anti-tumor activity.
The interesting part is that the only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment for cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study. For three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells.
They found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression. PhoenixTears.ca

Cannabis stops cancer (Harvard). Cannabis stops breast cancer (UCSF). Cannabis grows brain cells in mice (Princeton). Cannabis is a cousin of the hemp plant.
Hemp cannot get anyone high, yet it is illegal. Hemp is illegal because it is the most useful plant in the world. Before petroleum it was recognized and used in England and the Colonies (the nascent United States) as the strongest and most versatile fuel, medicine (Cannabis indica) paper, fiber, food, shelter...
The first US flag was made of hemp, and hemp paper was used for an early draft of our constitution. But since corporations cannot patent a plant, it was systematically discredited and criminalized.
"Hemp can't get you high unless you smoke a joint the size of a telephone pole!" according to Dr. Ron Paul.
No one should get high or use a craving for intoxication as an excuse for promoting this plant. It has legitimate medical uses the chemical-medical industry does want people to have. It is time for a new American Revolution? ♥☠✿☮❀
(Len Richmond) Could the naturally occurring chemicals found in marijuana prevent and even heal several deadly cancers? Discover the truth.
The true history of marijuana (the medicinal herb Cannabis indica) indicates that it was once in every medical bag and safely used as a treatment for many common ailments. But no one would know that thanks to corporate interests wishing to profit from dangerous cancer "treatments" involving costly carcinogenic radiation, chemicals on par with mustard gas, and potentially deadly surgical invasions and excisions. These treatments are now the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, not the cancers themselves. Iatrogenesis is, in fact, now the leading cause of death in America.
What if Cannabis Cured Cancer? Len Richmond Could the chemicals found in marijuana prevent and even heal several deadly cancers? Discover the truth about this ancient medicine as world-renowned scientists in the field of cannabinoid research illustrate their mind blowing discoveries.
"What if Cannabis Cured Cancer" explains how we are all born with a form of marijuana already in our bodies. When pot is consumed, the "endocannabinoids" inside us, along with any cannabinoids we ingest, fit together like a key in a lock -- thereby promoting the death of cancer cells without harming the body's healthy cells.
This is an eye-opening film about the future of cannabis, perhaps about the future of medicine itself. It is narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Coyote.
"What If Cannabis Cured Cancer summarizes the remarkable research findings of recent years about the cancer-protective effects of novel compounds in marijuana. Most medical doctors are not aware of this information and its implications for prevention and treatment. This documentary presents compelling evidence that our current policy on cannabis is counterproductive and foolish. An excellent film." -Andrew Weil, M.D.
"A hugely important film." -Julie Holland, M.D., NYU School of Medicine
"What If Cannabis Cured Cancer brings to light a host of recent findings that have potentially game-changing implications for the future of marijuana as a medicine. A must-see film." -Marijuana Policy Project Washington, DC

Scientists Hint at Why Laughter Feels So Good Text by James Gorman (New York Times, Sept. 13, 2011)
Laughter is regularly promoted as a source of health and well being, but it has been hard to pin down exactly why laughing until it hurts feels so good. The answer, reports Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford, is not the intellectual pleasure of cerebral humor, but the physical act of laughing.... ha, ha, ha... endorphins... “Laughter is very weird stuff, actually”... laughter contributes to group bonding and may have been important in the evolution of highly social humans. Social laughter, Dr. Dunbar suggests, relaxed and contagious, is “grooming at a distance,” an activity that fosters closeness in a group the way one-on-one grooming, patting and delousing promote and maintain bonds between individual primates of all sorts.

"Be gentle with me, oh oh, be gentle with me...please be gentle with me, handle with care, be gentle with me...or I shall kick your teeth in."
Breaking up is hard to do, they say. But it depends. It certainly is if one repeatedly reflects on the appealing qualities of the lost person.
However, if one were to from to time consider and reflect on the unappealing aspects, that clinging and pining would vanish.
One would become disenchanted, disillusioned, dispassionate. And then it would be possible to be freed. There is, of course, a trap. If one pushes away from the pain, that is just as dangerous as clinging to the pleasant in the first place. Aversion is as hard to deal with as undue attraction.
"Garden of Love" (Benny Hill)
Hate quickly replaces love -- without displacing it. One is then attached and angry, hurt and seeking some way of ridding oneself of the pain, the memory, the intrusive thoughts.
Wise reflection (yoniso manasikara) sees things as they truly are -- neither ignoring the bad nor exaggerating the good.
With freedom comes laughter again. Everything is funny. Everything is light. Everything is fine just as it is, because fine/not-fine is all in the mind that judges it so. With a different decision, the world seems to change. There is no out there without an in here.
Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you. Cry, and you can cry alone. (Misery loves company, but the company soon wearies of les contagious miserable).
Healing with light and sound is the medicine of the future (energymedc.com).
The Reasonable Persons Guide to Strange Ideas next examines one of the most astounding claims on the Net.
Overview of Claims
Some claim that Dr. Royal Raymond Rife (1) developed a super microscope, (2) was able to see live viruses, (3) which gave off their own unique light [frequencies], by which he found that (4) all the forms of human cancer he studied were caused by the same viral infection (BX virus), and that (5) these cancer viruses will shatter both on microscope slides and in living animals when exposed to certain frequencies. (6) His 1934 Rife Ray Equipment at the University of Southern California cured 14 helpless cancer cases after three months and eventually 100% of the 16 cures attempted. (7) Rife worked with top people in medicine at his time including doctors at the Mayo Clinic. (8) Rife won scientific awards. (9) Drug companies and electron microscope competition suppressed him and all others who succeeded in duplicating his work.
Was Rife a scam artist? Or did he cure cancer?
The Rife Microscopes No one doubts that Royal Raymond Rife was a real individual who did indeed create several unique microscopes. Some very fine pictures of his scopes exist today. The one below is the Universal Microscope, one of five scopes purported to have been capable of seeing living viruses.
One microscope expert reading this article wrote that Baush and Lomb offered Rife "a ton of money" in the late 1930s. But B&L ran because the microscope was a fraud. So far my request for documentation of this claim has gone unanswered as has the question: If no Rife scope worked, how does one explain the nice photos of Tetanus spores and Typhoid Bacillus taken by Rife's Universal Microscope published in the 1944 Smithsonian Report?
Goal of This Article This author hopes to entice readers to think, to learn, and to explore science. This article (still a work in progress) will walk through various Rife claims from the perspective of an open minded independent scientist. The aim is to make this intelligible to anyone with a basic high school or college education. To understand the claims, a few terms must first be defined. More
Medicine’s Great Divide — The View from the Alternative Side The relationship between conventional and alternative medicine is wary at best. What is needed is expanded medicine, which encompasses the best that both kinds of medicine have to offer.
I might as well begin by being blunt. There is no love lost between the medicine I was taught in medical school and the kind I practice now, which used to travel under the name of "mind-body medicine."
It acquired Ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India) along the way and now incorporates influences from many other strains of healing. The relationship between conventional and alternative medicine is like a bad marriage, only in reverse: It began with a divorce, has moved to the stage of wary mediation, and holds some prospects of reaching a shy courtship some day in the future.
The grounds for the divorce are bitter. Conventional medicine is offended that alternative medicine even exists. For the average physician, to hear that an allergy patient is taking extract of the herb Nettle to treat his symptoms or that a breast cancer patient is being treated with coffee enemas and a macrobiotic diet arouses scorn.
Over a decade ago, when the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Americans pay more visits annually to alternative practitioners than to MDs [1], the attitude of the editorial writer was barely disguised dismay and disbelief. It was as if the whole country had turned its back on jet travel to return to the horse and buggy.
Yet at bottom no one could really object to the aims of alternative medicine, which are to bring relief to the whole patient. Sick people come to us in hopes that their suffering will end. More
