This could help

The man that can

 

R2R already posted this in their last nfo. Good that you started a thread here though because I was thinking of starting up a collection for him at the forums.

 

No need to start collections.

Just buy some Nomad Factory products.
They are ALL on sale at Don't Crack.

I'm thinking of buying MAGMA.

 

Yeah but whereas someone might not want or be able to spend $20 dollars on a product $1 they could swing easily.

 

Better start a collection for the Philippines, then.

They have no plug-ins to sell.

 

That is indeed sad news, and I do hope he can make a full recovery. I'll be donating something over there soon.

Lukie - sorry but that claim of cannabis curing cancer is totally unproved. See this, a real foundation doing cancer research, not some guy growing plants in his back yard; http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2012/07/25/cannabis-cannabinoids-and-cancer-the-evidence-so-far/

Here's a link to some articles that show that yes actually it can in addition to a slew of other benefits. The first article has links to 20 studies and then I've also included some other information as well:
20 Medical Studies That Prove Cannabis Can Cure Cancer

National Cancer Institute

Marijuana And Cancer: Scientists Find Cannabis Compound Stops Metastasis In Aggressive Cancers

Study: Cannabis Compounds Can Kill Cancer Cells

Concerning the warning I was actually just going to tell you that I'm removing it but remember what I told you before. You can have a different opinion about something and we can discuss it like adults but don't come to conclusions about someone you don't know and insult them (especially a staff member) over a news article you didn't like, especially on a subject that many members appreciate me posting. Honestly I didn't intend to leave the warning for so long but because there is no way at the moment to see a list of members with warnings and you never post I forgot about it.

 

I wonder why this information is in Don't crack website and there is nothing about it in Nomad Factory website.
I feel sorry for this man.
When I see this situation, I cannot stop thinking that North Americans should fight for their social rights. I cant understand how a long time tax payer may be in danger because he don't have enough money to pay the cure he needs.

Next time think twice before posting offenses. And then instead of that "stupid" signature, may be you could use the PM function, or is this too "stupid" for you?

 

I'm a chemist (fo' real) and no, the tetrahydrocannabinol doesn't cure cancer, but it helps to reduce the pain and stuff from the chemotherapy that people receive to reduce the cells with cancer, and i can tell you this, because a teacher from my school, recently (like 1 year ago) discovered how to eliminate those cells (or something like that), with a protein (i think).
If someone wants to know more about it, I'll be glad to search the link and post it in here, but it's in spanish peace!
Everyone have a great weekend!! :dancing:

And if I had the money, i would buy something.. But sadly i don't have it...

Did you even look at the studies I posted or did you assume that just because you happen to be a chemist and don't believe it's possible that this is the end of the debate? There was a story about a British chemist that has worked on this problem for 20 years and still doesn't know all the details so how can you with a cursory glance?

 

Read it

 

Yeah I've actually read this elsewhere as well and also it matters how the THC is ingested but that doesn't mean it can't be a viable consideration, maybe it can be refined. All I know is that the marijuana plant has about a million different uses, it even used to be used as a fuel back in the day. If you read through even half of the studies you will find some compelling information worthy of review and consideration. And on that webpage the guy's photo kept getting in the way of the text.
