It is readily acceptable now that cannabis can be used successfully as a treatment for people with cancer-related symptoms caused by the disease itself or its treatment.

The National Cancer Institute’s website has a PDQ (Physicians Data Query) – cancer information summary for health professionals providing comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information about the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of people with cancer. It is intended as a resource to inform and assist clinicians who care for cancer patients. It does not provide formal guidelines or recommendations for making health care decisions.

What if Cannabis could cure Cancer?  The latest studies will be presented surrounding the Anti-tumor effects of THC and CBD, including the newest research indicating that CBD is not only killing breast cancer cells in a laboratory setting, but is also down regulates a gene that is responsible for tumor growth and metastasis.

This information not only has implications specific to breast cancer, but many cancers…this information may very well be mind blowing – or at the very least, lifesaving….

Always dedicated to staying at the forefront of the industry on behalf of her patients, Dr. Burns has identified challenges within the medical marijuana community. After noting a gap between what physicians recommend for their patient and what is available, she created DrBurns’ ReLeaf™, a physician formulated line of cannabis and other botanical-infused products that assures a consistent quality and bridges this gap.

In 2012, Dr. Burns was the first in the state of Arizona to pass the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine’s (AACM) physician certification test. In addition to educating patients and clinicians about the therapeutic potential of Cannabis, she also advocates at the legislative level to help give the medical marijuana patient a voice.
