There is no doubt that cancer can be a devastating disease both for patients and their families. Cancer still ranks as the second leading cause of death in the United States, right behind heart disease. Over half a million Americans die each year from some form of cancer, even with constant new advances and research.

Of course, millions also beat cancer each year and survive. But the battle against cancer can take a huge toll. Not only are cancer symptoms often severe and debilitating, but the side effects from treatment – chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery – can be even worse than the disease itself. For too long, patients have had to rely on addictive or sedative medications to control their symptoms. The problem is so great that Americans are now more likely to perish from opioid overdoses than car accidents.

With the arrival of cannabidiol (CBD) oil, cancer patients now have more and better options for mitigating the symptoms of oncological care.

CBD for Pain Control

Pain from both primary cancer and metastasis can be severe, so severe in fact that physicians often prescribe powerful narcotics to help manage the pain. Unfortunately, many of these drugs are habit-forming. Patients also often form tolerances quickly, necessitating higher and higher doses to achieve the same analgesic effect.

However, preliminary studies have shown that CBD can help with pain from cancer. One study even demonstrated significant pain relief with 2.5 to 10 mg of CBD. This is huge news, especially when you consider that a single bottle of MARK3 Full-Spectrum CBD Oil contains 1,000 mg of cannabinoids.

CBD for Nausea Reduction and Appetite Stimulation

Nausea and vomiting is another concern for many cancer patients. Nausea is usually not a direct result of cancer but rather typically stems from chemotherapy and other treatments. Not only is chronic nausea and vomiting unpleasant and frustrating, but these symptoms can also contribute to weight loss – another major problem many cancer patients face. There are several antinausea drugs available, but many of these cause extreme fatigue as a side effect.

CBD or cannabidiol oil can help. Evidence has shown that CBD reduces moderate chronic nausea as well as vomiting. This fact means that CBD oil can potentially help cancer patients retain fluids and nutrients. Also, the anti-nausea effect can be important in keeping down oral medications. Importantly, since CBD oil is not smoked like marijuana, it does not subject immune-weakened cancer patients to possible fungus found on marijuana plants which could lead to infections.

CBD Oil Is Effective and Exhibits Virtually No Side Effects

MARK3 CBD oil contains no THC and will not produce a high or any mentally altered state. CBD products may very well help with your pain and nausea, but always speak with your doctor before starting or discontinuing any medication or supplement.
