In studies, CBD has shown promise in disrupting the endoplasmic reticulum of cancer cells. Why is this important? This is where the cell receives its nourishment for sustained living from synthesizing metabolites and proteins. CBD does two things in the cell. First, it pushes calcium into the cytosol, the aqueous part of cytoplasm that is critical to cell health, which always results in the death of the cell. Another way it can kill a cancer cell is through a Caspase (“killer protein”) Cascade, which breaks down the peptides and proteins in a cell resulting in its death. CBD Oil does not impact the healthy, non-cancerous cells.

Here’s the beautiful thing, after the cancer is destroyed, CBD stays in the body to help it heal. CBD shuts down the gene that causes metastatic lesions to form, the Id-1 gene. This slows down the cancer’s aggressiveness and prevents it from spreading into other areas of the body.

CBD oil is a non-toxic treatment option for cancer patients as many treatment methods are degenerative and destroy healthy cells in addition to cancer cells.
