Compassionate Therapeutic Solutions, LLC Introduces the Wellness Center to Cancer Patients
01 5월 2010 - 4:47AM
GT Legend Automotive Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GTLA) in
conjunction with Compassionate Therapeutic Solutions, LLC,
announced today that Eugene Espinosa, the company's President, has
been busy promoting the CTS wellness center via a series of
presentations to cancer patients in Colorado Springs and the
surrounding communities.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is 1 of 27 Institutes and
Centers that comprise the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. In the National Cancer Institute Act of 1937, NCI was
established as the Nation's principal agency for cancer research.
As a Federal Government agency, NCI receives its funds from the
U.S. Congress. These funds support research at the Institute's
headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, and in laboratories and medical
centers throughout the United States and in other countries. NCI's
budget for the 2008 fiscal year was $4.83 billion. For the 2007
fiscal year, it was $4.79 billion, and, for 2006, it was $4.75
billion. (Source: www.cancer.gov).
According to the American Cancer Society's 2003 data, more than
1,300,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year. At least
300,000 of them will undergo chemotherapy, and 132,000 patients may
have therapeutic cannabis recommended to them to combat the side
effects of conventional treatments (Source:
www.americansforsafeaccess.org). Vinciguerra et al. found that 78%
of 56 patients suffering from nausea who were resistant to standard
drugs became symptom-free after inhaling cannabis (Source:
www.concept420.com).
A 1999 report published by the Institutes of Medicine stated
that nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety, all of which are
symptoms associated with cancer, can be mitigated by medical
marijuana. The same report also stated that pills are generally
ineffective in treating patients experiencing severe nausea or
vomiting because of the difficulty in swallowing or keeping a pill
down and the slow onset of the drug effect. Therefore, they
conclude that cannabinoid inhalation is effective in treating the
nausea that is caused by chemotherapy.
Kathryn Newman, R.N., M.S., states, "Medical marijuana can be
used as a pain reliever to combat the discomfort caused by various
cancers. It can also soothe the nausea associated with
chemotherapy. In addition to pain relief, studies also show that
the euphoric effects of the chemical THC which is contained in
cannabis may act as a mood elevator; this is yet another benefit
for cancer patients."
