How Cannabinoids Kill Cancer Cells
This clip is from the recently-aired PBS documentary, ‘Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis,’ which explores the scientifically proven fact that cannabinoids kill cancer cells in test tubes and in laboratory animals.
Cannabinoid receptors exist throughout organs of the human body, especially in the brain and in the immune system. These act like targets for cannabinoids. Once they bind to the receptors, peptides are released that tell the cancer cells to die, i.e., to commit suicide.
One doctor interviewed has been so encouraged by the laboratory results that he has begun cannabis trials with his own leukemia patients.

(Reuters) – Half of the experts involved in writing recent treatment guidelines for heart patients reported a conflict of interest, U.S. researchers said on Monday, raising worries about whose interests are being served.
Even though the experts are disclosing their ties to companies that produce heart drugs and devices, the phenomenon is important because the guidelines they produce are used to help train new doctors, thus can have long-lasting impact on the way patients are treated…
Of the nearly 500 people studied, 56 percent reported a conflict of interest. The most common conflicts included being a consultant or serving on a company advisory board, followed by getting a research grant, taking money for serving on a speakers’ bureau and owning stock…

Please support me as I take an amazing journey. The Out of the Darkness Overnight Experience is a 18-mile walk over the course of one night. Net proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, funding research, education, and awareness programs – both to prevent suicide and to assist those affected by suicide.

FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION:
On the night of June 4-5, 2011, I will join thousands of other people on an 18-mile walk as part of the Out of the Darkness Overnight, an event that raises money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The goal of this journey, which will begin at dusk and finish at dawn, is to raise funds for suicide prevention, erase the stigma surrounding suicide and its causes, to encourage those suffering from mental illness to seek treatment, and to show support for the families and friends of the 30,000 Americans who die by suicide and the 20 million people that suffer from depression each year.
I am asking for your support of this effort.
I know from my own experience of losing my dear friend Steve Snyder to suicide that serious depression and other mental illnesses can be fatal. Steve struggled with depression and tried very hard to overcome his illnesses and move forward with his life. He was loved by many, many people who were devastated by his death and his suicide. I can say with confidence that had you known Steve, your life would have been enhanced by his friendship, intellect and character. Steve’s family and friends have been forever changed by his passing. They will continue to miss him deeply for the rest of their lives and they wrote a few words I’d like to share with you:
Mr. Rogers once said, “Anything that is human is mentionable. And if it is mentionable, it can be more manageable. When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” Too few people were willing to talk about Steve’s depression and his suicide. That’s why I’m walking in Out of the Darkness Overnight, to raise awareness and let people know it is ok to talk about suicide and mental illness. I want to do my part to prevent this tragedy from happening in other families.
By participating in this event, I hope to raise awareness of the serious threat that mental illness can pose and the treatment options that can help people overcome it. If one person can be saved from the illness that killed Steve, my efforts to walk 20 miles and to raise money for this cause will be worthwhile.
Please take a moment to read the enclosed fact sheet about suicide and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of many research, education, prevention and survivor initiatives. I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP. Checks should be made payable to AFSP and are 100% tax-deductible. Donations can also be made online at www.TheOvernight.org (select “Support a Participant” and search for my name). Your employer may augment your donation through a matching gift program – please check your company’s policy.
Please think about how much you can give to this cause and complete the enclosed donation form today.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for being a part of my life. You have been a source of strength and support for me both when Steve was alive and in the long months since he died. It is only through the love and support of family and friends that we all survive.

In a significant step toward combating male infertility, researchers at Yokohama City University have grown mouse sperm in a dish and used the sperm to produce pups that were themselves fertile in adulthood.
Researchers started with small fragments of tissue containing sperm stem cells, called spermagonia, collected from the testes of baby mice. They then grew those cells into functional sperm, using various chemicals to simulate the natural environment of the testes. The results of the study, published in this week’s issue of Nature, may eventually benefit infertile men and boys undergoing chemotherapy.

Three years ago, Vlada Kravchenko attended a party as a strong and healthy teenager but left in an ambulance, paralyzed after a lighting structure collapsed on her.
Today, the 19-year-old is organizing her own party to show everyone how stem cell treatment has begun changing her life, and pleading with the Maltese to help her “finish the job”.
After three trips to receive, which cost more than €30,000, Ms Kravchenko – who is of Ukrainian origin – is already showing huge signs of improvement.
Standing up with the help of a walking frame – something she could not do before the treatment – the former gymnast and aspiring model addressed a press conference yesterday to thank all those who helped her in her quest to dance again.
“When I decided to make my story public and launch the campaign, I wanted to create awareness about how stem cell treatment can help spinal cord injuries. Now my research has been backed up by my own experience,” she said, pointing out that the treatment must be supplemented with determination and motivation. Ms Kravchenko said the experimental treatment, which uses her own stem-cells, had enabled her to stand up and she was slowly regaining strength around her body, even though she still needs a wheelchair to get around comfortably.
Though she is still fighting for compensation in court (one of the companies responsible for the lighting structure has since liquidated, making this more difficult), all her expenses have had to be covered through donations.
