Materials Containing Marijuana Killer Brain Cancer Cells

New York, some substances in marijuana are known to fight and kill the cancer cells of the brain. Substance in marijuana works as a disturbing penyelimut formation of cancer cells and destroying it. The research indicates the possible use of marijuana opportunity to cure brain cancer. But it does not mean that the patient can immediately use marijuana because the doses used in these studies is too large to inhaled like mengganja.

Researchers have long analyzed the material contained in marijuana, which is a cannabinoid as a material has good effects for health. Other substances contained in marijuana is THC which can make someone feel soar while sucking marijuana. The substance is used researchers to fight brain tumor or glioblastoma multiforme.

Results of study published in Molecular Cancer Theraupetic mention that two substances found in cannabis, cannabinoid and THC is proven effective in killing cancer cells and prevent it from growing back.

"Treatment with cannabis enables tumor cells removed from the brain. Rather than targeting tumor cell targets, a substance in marijuana works as that would interfere penyelimut formation of cancer cells and destroy," said Dr. Paul Graham Fischer from Stanford University and Packard Children's Hospital as reported by HealthDay, Tuesday (12/1/2010). Fisher said that the technique of brain cancer treatment with marijuana is estimated to begin on humans within 10 to 15 years. "We have to get out of the box and take it as a medicine in the future," said Fisher.


The method can be used in this treatment is to inject the material directly to the brain marijuana, but the method is quite expensive although the price of marijuana itself is not expensive. Further experiments need to be done in humans to determine the concentration and appropriate dosage marijuana use in fighting tumors or brain cancer.

Mobile Phone Radiation Caused Brain Damage

Mobile phone radiation is harmful to health, especially for the brain. For those who like to linger in the using a cell phone, should be wary. The reason is, a research revealed that radiation can produce cellular phone causing damage to memory, which can accelerate senile diseases.

The researchers explained, the damage occurs because they damage nerve cells in the
cerebral cortex and hippocampus, or memory can be called the center in brain. This nerve damage occurred after the six weeks after being given radiation. Researchers found the effect on a group of genes, not only individual genes.

Research conducted Lund University, Sweden, a rat was tested with suleler phone radiation given two hours in a week for a year. The result, mice were given radiation having a bad memory, rather than rats that were not given radiation.

When mice were given radiation released in a box with a different set of four objects. Rat it does not show an interest in the object. This different actually performed by rats who were not given radiation.
