Deryn was genezen van leukemie, maar door complicaties als een ontsteking bleef hij pijn lijden, ook maakte hij geen nieuwe witte bloedcellen aan. De artsen hadden de jongen opgegeven en ook de jongen zelf was al met zijn begrafenis bezig.
Vanwege de pijn kreeg Deryn de zware pijnstiller fentanyl toegediend. De moeder had intussen gehoord over de kwaliteiten van cannabis extracten en wilde als alternatief voor fentanyl een middel hebben dat uit cannabis wordt gewonnen. Echter de artsen weigerden dit, daar het middel niet was toegestaan voor kinderen. Daarop richtte de moeder zich tot een cannabis dealer en kon uiteindelijk haar zoon een cannabisextract toedienen.
Al binnen een uur was Deryn veel minder bang voor de naderende dood. De artsen hadden de moeder gewaarschuwd, dat de witte bloedcellen niet terug zouden komen, echter na 5 dagen het cannabis extract te hebben gebruikt, kwamen de witte bloedcellen terug! Iets dat volgens de artsen onmogelijk door het extract kon zijn veroorzaakt, maar na het stoppen met dit cannabisextract, namen de witte bloedcellen weer af!
Radio1 liet gistermiddag verslaggever en flapdrol de luxe Lammert de Bruin, n.a.v. deze zaak uitzoeken, of cannabis inderdaad kanker kan genezen......... Werkelijk ongelofelijk dat de Bruin niet eerst even de berichtgeving erop na heeft geslagen, immers dan had hij geweten, dat Deryn niet met een cannabis extract van leukemie was genezen...... Tenenkrommend te horen hoe de Bruin door het programma heen, telkens weer dit nepnieuws herhaalde.........
Het is overigens al lang bekend dat cannabis een groot aantal aandoeningen ofwel kan genezen, of processen van degeneratie vertraagt en zelfs de groei van bepaalde soorten kankers kan stoppen.
Doctors Gave Boy 3 Days to Live, Then His Mom Secretly Gave Him Cannabis

(ANTIMEDIA) Both
anecdotal evidence and clinical research are beginning to show the
promise of cannabis in treating a variety of health issues. According
to one family in the U.K., cannabis helped a dying teenage boy
recover fully from complications from leukemia. The family recently
appeared on the British talk show, This
Morning, to
discuss their experience.
Callie
Blackwell’s son Deryn had been fighting leukemia followed by
Langerhans cell sarcoma for four years — since the age of ten.
Following doctors’ fourth and final attempt at a bone marrow
transplant, they warned the family it was the last opportunity to
save his life.
Though
the surgery was successful, Deryn’s mother says he contracted an
infection in the hospital. He grew extremely ill, and according to
Callie, “He was literally being kept alive by antibiotics.
That’s what they told us.” Doctors estimated he had
three days to a week left to live following the turbulent aftermath
of his transplant.
Deryn
says he was ready to give up and had started planning his funeral.
“After four years of treatment, it [was] enough,” he
told This Morning.
In
the meantime, however, his mother had been researching cannabis
treatments. She says she kept hearing about it through word of mouth.
However, because his cancer was technically already gone – he was
succumbing to complications in the form of hand and stomach issues —
she didn’t think it was a viable option.
Cannabis
has recently been found,
at least in preliminary laboratory testing, to shrink cancer cells.
This early research is increasingly backed up by anecdotal evidence.
Still, Callie didn’t think it applied and rejected cannabis as a
potential treatment.
“The
cancers [were] gone,”
she said. “This
[was] now a completely different issue. I would dismiss it and
dismiss it.”
Nevertheless,
Deryn remained sick and in hospice care, taking large doses of
fentanyl, the strongest opiate painkiller on the market. He was still
expected to die.
Callie
asked doctors about Bedrocan,
a cannabis-based pain relief product popular in Europe. “I
wanted to go through the proper measures,”
she said. However, she doctors told her it wasn’t an option because
it hadn’t been approved for use in children.
That’s
when she decided to obtain cannabis illegally and give it a chance.
“He’s dying anyway,” she said.
Deryn, too, was open to the alternative treatment. “I was happy to [try it],” he said.
The New
York Daily
News explains that
Deryn’s parents “met
with a dealer to buy marijuana. They then found a recipe online that
showed them how to turn it into a liquid form so they could give it
to their teenage son.”
Callie
clarified on This
Morning that
they did not use CBD (cannabidiol) or THC oil, the oils currently
gaining popularity for treating everything from Parkinson’s disease
to epilepsy to anxiety —
and potentially cancer.
Rather, they simply used a tincture.
“The
effects of it blew my mind. It wasn’t what I expected,”
she said.
Within
half an hour to an hour, Deryn, who had been overcome with anxiety
over his impending death, “was chilled out, just relaxed.”
Deryn’s
condition improved not just emotionally, but physically. For example,
when doctors removed bandages from his hands, expecting little to no
progress, his fingers showed signs of recovery.
Further,
doctors had warned that his white blood cell count would remain
nonexistent, but after just five days of taking cannabis — 75 days
after his final bone marrow transplant — they returned.
“All
of a sudden his white count [had] appeared. Doctors were running
around frantically”
to do more testing, Callie said, though she added that at that time,
Deryn’s white blood cell count was still very low.
To test the effectiveness of the tincture, Callie says she withdrew the treatment and the white blood cell count “started to go down again.”
Though
Callie made it clear that she doesn’t endorse cannabis as a
treatment that will cure cancer or work for everyone who tries it,
she has no regrets about giving it to her son.
Experts
are optimistic about the potential of cannabis, though they caution
it is difficult to discern exactly what dynamic helped restore
Deryn’s health, noting it could have been something entirely
separate from cannabis that spurred his recovery. Further clinical
research is needed to tease out exactly what alleviated his symptoms,
as well as what causes such positive results in other patients who
find success with cannabis.
As
far as cancer is concerned, there is a great deal of uncertainty, as
well as promise. “There
have been lots of studies looking at the effect of cannabis on cells
growing in the lab, but that’s been quite mixed, it seems to have
had different effects on different types of cancer cells,”
says Emma Smith, science information manager for Cancer Research
U.K., as reported by
the Independent.
For
now, it remains illegal in the U.K., much of the United States, and
many parts of the world. As one This Morning host
interjected, “Anyone using the drug for any reason could be
charged with possession.”
For
Deryn’s parents, the risk was worth it. Deryn now aspires to open
his own vegan restaurant. In his own words, he’s “Perfectly
healthy. My white blood [cells] are all normal.”
