Can Cannabis Oil Cure SCLC And PLE With Anti Hu Antigen?

My wife has SCLC and Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis with the Anti Hu Antigen. Although the cancer has reacted well to the chemo she is continuing to mentally and physically deteriorate. IVIG treatments are of no help. Question: Have you heard of anyone trying Cannabis Oil to suppress the antibodies from attacking her system. She is presently on 4 anti seizure medications and still has occasional seizures as well. Don t have much time left and are willing to try anything including the Cannabis Oil to get some relief.

Hi,

Based on this particular medical history you can try Cannabis oil. Make sure you discuss this with your treating doctor though. It depends on the medical association cannabis legal state. For cancer patients cannabis oil can be used to help relieve the pain. However, It is not documented that it can help suppress antibodies attacking her system.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
