Bill Turnbull of BBC breakfast show fame has prostate cancer. His ongoing battle with the deadly disease is not being dealt with by chemo sessions but rather by Cannabis Oil. In a recent show for BBC, he spoke with his old colleagues Naga Munchetty and Dan Walker about how his experience with cannabis oil for cancer is turning out to be enjoyable. He also mentioned how the combination of CBD along with giving up alcohol and meat and rejuvenated his health. He told the presenters that his current health was in pink and he did not feel any pain. His decision to adopt the CBD way of healing vis-à-vis the conventional chemo has indeed brought some good results.

The moment his belief in chemotherapy disappeared in 2017, he decided and was firm to adopt any alternative therapy which will help him. The inspiration for CBD came to him when in the UK a 14-year-old boy miraculously recovered from his cancer and how every passing day he is feeling better. After taking CBD oil, he feels he has been the healthier version of himself. On further questioning, he also said that due to lack of research he was unsure about how much to take. That is why he has stopped taking it and is urging the medical sector and government to undertake more research.

Research in a way would also mean that people’s curiosity and fears will be settled. CBD has been there for thousands of years but we have only recently known its good and bad. A substance with that much potential should never be ignored or pushed to the background. The hemp-extracted plant also has anti-inflammatory properties with less than 0.3% THC levels. It is different compared to marijuana because of THC and also the effects it produces like intoxication and excessive addiction.

Despite being so beneficial in treating lots of ailments like cancer, joint pains, Alzheimer’s diseases, depression, and insomnia, people still attach a lot of stigma to it the way they attach to marijuana. Many medical foundations want to give this a try and have divulged that they will soon be funding research for CBD and its effectiveness. Recently a welfare organization has researched to see if CBD is effective in silencing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The research is slated to begin next year and if effective will establish CBD as one of the major ingredients not to be missed in medications.

Bill has currently stopped because he does not want to risk its dosages. He feels invigorated after the changes he had made to his lifestyle and feels fresher and lighter than ever. His colleague also joking tells him that she has known him as a meat lover and this dramatic change is surely worth a mention. Turnbull agreed to this but has said that he has given up meat majorly and alcohol completely and feels better after doing so. He feels that he has mellowed down quite a bit.

All the revelations were made by Bill in a show documentary called Staying Alive. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017 and found that this cancer spread very easily. In the documentary, he also spoke at length about his treatment procedure and coming to terms with the deadly disease. He also mentions to his friends and hosts of the show that he has felt that this was quite a point of realization for him and time to look back at the truth.

His tryst with cannabis oil has been successful. When he was first diagnosed he was given little time to live which extended up to 8 years of age. But he also becomes practical that one day he has to go and will live the number of years he was destined to live. If while living and not living he can make himself feel better then he sees no harm in it.

Bill Turnbull has accepted his conditions and believes that he has a strong family force behind him to feel stronger. It is due to the immense love that his family has shown and the way they have backed him, gives him more reason and strength to recover.

In one of the lighter moments of the clip he is also shown smoking cannabis and amidst laughter explains the wonders of the product. Bill has not been a keen follower of CBD but believes that if it can be used for medicinal value then there is no harm.

He feels that there should be something right in it that 20 countries have now legalized it. The authorities should have a healthy discussion about it to take it forward instead of neglecting its potential.

The show ended with Turnbull feeling emotional about how the family took the news and how devastating it was at the beginning to come to terms with it.

Scott Davis, a 40-year-old man, running a building and maintenance company from Torquay, Devon got diagnosed las September with terminal cancer and was suggested to get palliative care. The doctors said he had only 12 months to live.

However, he took the matter in his hands by researching and started taking cannabidiol oil and fenbendazole, a dog-worming tablet. He also consumed many vitamins, and now claims that he feels healthier and stronger.

Scott has reached his 40^th birthday, surpassing the doctor’s expectations as his cancer has been stabilized for about six months.

Trying out the unordinary

Scott, a dad of three, read that CBD oil and fenbendazole work well together from online sources. He noticed many people talking about the success of the combination and wanted to give it a try.

He stated that he buys fenbendazole for £7.5 online every week and consumes a pack per day. It is in powder form, which he usually sprinkles on his toast.

Scott was told by the doctors about his inoperable cancer in September 2018. They were offering palliative care, which shocked him since they gave him roughly 12 months to live. He felt healthy and fit at the time of his diagnosis.

A few months before talking to the doctors, he noticed getting several stomach pains, which his healthcare professional thought was caused by IBS. However, the pain started to worsen not long after, which landed him a trip to the hospital where they found out about the tumor.

He was getting palliative care and chemotherapy for six months when he started searching for alternative treatment options. He claimed that a nurse gave him a leaflet about CBD oil and its benefits, which was also when he found out about fenbendazole and cannabidiol oil.

He started taking the alternative route in May, even before he started his chemo. He said that he is aware that it’s not the cure for cancer, but this combination helped him prolong his life, which the thinks could help other people suffering from terminal cancer, too.

Desire to inspire people

According to Scott, his tumor hasn’t enlarged since he started medicating himself and jokingly adds how he exceeded his ‘expiration date’.

He noted how there are more people out there who have tried alternative treatment and found astounding results as well. He believes that the CBD oil and dog worming medication mixed with a healthy lifestyle may keep him going until 75 years old.

He turned 40 last September 25, or twelve months and thirteen days since his diagnosis, and he reiterated how he felt healthier, focused, and fitter than ever.

His healthcare team has also noticed and progress and told him to keep doing what he is doing, says Scott. His current goal is to raise awareness for people and inspire them while he still lives.

Experts, however, warn that these alternative therapies have no scientific evidence that they can cure or actively treat cancer.

Macmillan Cancer Support said that, as of writing, no alternative treatment had been proven to slow the growth of cancer, or effectively treat it. They noted how doctors are usually supportive of complementary therapies to help patients cope with their disease.

However, professionals generally advise against alternative routes of treatment. The support group added that it’s essential to check for the credentials of the dedicated therapist and the safety of the medications used.

Kristen Bell opened up about suffering from depression and anxiety in her cover story for Women’s Health November issue. She revealed that she takes cannabidiol or CBD oil every morning along with her prescription SSRI antidepressant, which she says is a part of her mental health regimen.

Talking about mental health

Bell, the 39-year-old The Good Place actress, started discussing mental health after getting the suggestion from Dax Shepard, her husband who also had his share of issues like alcoholism and sobriety. ‘

She was initially hesitant but later realized that it was shame stopping her from opening up about depression. She noted how she felt irresponsible because her persona is that of an outgoing, bubbly girl who always wears a smile, yet some days she is far from how the people see her.

Bell considers exercise as a must-do for her mental well-being. She currently enjoys how Studio Metamorphosis’ Pilates classes help condition her body. She indicated how a physical activity should be a regular practice for anyone with anxiety or depression since it releases serotonin and endorphins.

With workouts, Bell feels positive about herself and believes that it sets her next 48 hours by being patient, capable, and centered.

Taking CBD oil

Michigan-native Bell stated that she started having episodes of serotonin imbalance when she was 18. After a good body workout, she drops a CBD tincture on her tongue to help ease her anxiety. She also added that she takes adaptogens.

She said that she wanted to try everything, including the wellness products she browses online.

Cannabidiol or CBD is a hemp-derived compound that gives the relaxation benefits of the cannabis plant without the psychoactive effect that its cousin variety, the marijuana, gives out. CBD is, therefore, non-intoxicating and legal in all 50 US states, and as well as in other parts of the globe.

CBD comes in many forms, most notably the oil preparation. People are lauding the substance for its alleged therapeutic benefits. Aside from helping with anxiety and depression, CBD is said to be useful for seizures, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, colitis, Huntington’s disease, many types of pain and even treats sleep disorders.

CBD may also be found as an ingredient of dietary supplements and food preparations. However, the FDA is yet to give out a clear stand on the matter, which makes the lawful marketing of such products questionable. As of writing, the agency has stated that it could take years for it to establish a defined regulatory framework for consumable CBD.

For Bell, mental health talks for her daughters Delta and Lincoln, 6 and 4, respectively, consist of teaching them that vulnerability is equal to strength. She believes that their dialogue around their homestays opens, whether it’s about Shepard going to the AA or her who is currently dealing with her mental health issues.
