Can medical marijuana help infants with terminal brain cancer? Dr. William Courtney says he has witnessed it happen. He exclaimed he was “quite a skeptic 5 or 6 years ago”, and that, “my youngest patient is 8 months old, and had a very massive centrally located inoperable brain tumor.” The child’s decided to ergo unconventional treatment by administering cannabis oil.
“They were putting cannabis oil on the baby’s pacifier twice a day, increasing the dose… And within two months there was a dramatic reduction, enough that the pediatric oncologist allowed them to go ahead with not pursuing traditional therapy.”
The tumor had shrunk significantly after eight months of treatment. Dr. Courtney pointed out that the success of the cannabis approach means that “this child, because of that, is not going to have the long-term side effects that would come from a very high dose of chemotherapy or radiation… currently the child’s being called a ‘miracle baby,’ and I would have to agree that this is the perfect response that we should be insisting is frontline therapy for all children before they launch off on all medications that have horrific long term side effects.”
