CBD oil shaking medical cannabis industry
Corinne Malanca credits CBD oil with saving her father’s life.
Five years ago, Stan Rutner underwent chemotherapy for Stage 4 lung cancer.
After treatment, an inoperable brain tumor was found and he fell sick with pneumonia caused by his radiation treatments. Thinking Rutner only had weeks to live, Malanca turned to the internet for answers.
What she found was a startling statistic: Nearly half of all cancer patients’ deaths are caused by malnutrition. She purchased cannabis and coconut oil capsules and 24 hours after his first dose, Rutner was out of bed and eating like a teenager.
Six months later she added a daily drop of cannabidiol (CBD) oil to his regimen, and at nine months he was cancer free.
“We just wanted him to pass peace- fully,” she says. “We were fortunate that he got a second chance.”
