Preview of My Brother’s 5-Week CBD Dosage Plan

Shocking Diagnosis of My Brother’s Prostate Cancer

Before we jump into how CBD saved my brother’s life, I want to briefly illustrate how I almost lost him in the first place.

In November of 2014, my brother collapsed on the steering wheel while driving me to school.

And it wasn’t long before I found out the cause:

He was diagnosed with Stage 3 Prostate Cancer.

In order to treat my brother’s prostate cancer, the doctor told me that Chemotherapy was his most reliable option.

But he also warned us about all the risks that came with this treatment, which included:

Damage to lung tissue

Heart problems

Kidney problems

Nerve damage

And more…

Despite the visceral fear that this trigger in both of us, we had no choice but to proceed.

And for the next 3 months, all I could do is pray day after day, while watching my brother go through unbearable sessions of Chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy: A Double-Edged Sword that Almost Killed My Brother

After 3 long months of Chemotherapy, I finally got back with the news I couldn’t wait to hear:

My brother’s prostate cancer was fully treated.

But his battle had just started…

As soon as his treatment was over, my brother faced another life-threatening problem:

Severe loss of appetite.

And his loss of appetite led to a rapid weight-loss that he’d never experienced before:

Before treatment, my brother was a built, barrel-chested 6′4″ (193cm) tall man who weighed 210lbs (95kg) at 28-year old.

But after Chemotherapy, his weight dropped all the way to 150lbs (68kg).

In other words, he lost 60lbs (27kg) in only 3 months.

At his height, this made him critically underweight:

His BMI (Body Mass Index) score had fallen from 25.5 (overweight) to 18.3 (underweight).

And shortly after the doctors found out about his drastic weight-loss, they diagnosed my brother with another life-threatening condition:

Cancer anorexia

Battling Against Our Final Enemy: Cancer Anorexia (a.k.a. Cachexia)

Cancer anorexia (commonly referred to as “cachexia“) is characterized by loss of appetite and aversion to food, leading to extreme loss of body mass.

But the scariest part?

Cachexia is one of the leading causes of death among cancer patients (representing up to 80% of cancer-related deaths).

And my brother showed very clear symptoms of cachexia:

He lost 60lbs in 3 months He showed absolutely no desire to eat, and He risked vomiting during every bite he took, and every step he took off his bed.

So I knew that if I didn’t find a solution to his life-threatening condition, my brother would be leaving us very soon…

I remember feeling completely consumed in constant fear anxiety, and obsession that he could die any minute.

But at desperation to save my brother’s life, I was able to discover a cure to my brother’s Cachexia: CBD.

Discovering CBD: The Hero that Can Save My Brother’s Life

Before I explain how CBD cured my brother’s cachexia, I want to quickly share how I came across CBD to begin with.

Leading up to the 2015 Canadian federal election, talks of legalizing cannabis in Canada was growing.

But it wasn’t too long ago when I found out that Canada actually legalized MEDICAL marijuana since 2001.

And as soon as I discovered this, I asked myself the ultimate question:

Can medical marijuana cure my brother’s cachexia?

But to answer this question, there were 3 other questions that I had to find the answers to:

Is brother legally qualified to use medical marijuana? Can my brother benefit from medical marijuana WITHOUT getting high? And, Can medical marijuana cure my brother’s Cachexia?

So I went ahead, and went on a quest to answer them as fast as I could.

Question #1: Is it Legal for My Brother to Use Medical Marijuana?

Shortly after searching for answers, I found exactly what I was looking for:

An article that shows which categories of patients are eligible to access medical cannabis (defined by Health Canada).

And luckily for us, my brother fit right into Category 1 of patients, who suffer from the following symptoms:

Severe pain and/or persistent muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis, from a spinal cord injury, from spinal cord disease

Severe pain, cachexia, anorexia, weight loss, and/or severe nausea from cancer or HIV/AIDS infection

from cancer or HIV/AIDS infection Severe pain from severe forms of arthritis

Seizures from epilepsy

Since my brother suffered from all of the bolded symptoms above, I became confident that we wouldn’t get entangled with the law.

Bottom Line: According to the federal laws of Canada, it is legal for my brother to use medical marijuana.

But there was one problem…

Question #2: Is it Possible to Use Medical Marijuana WITHOUT Getting High?

My brother HATED getting high from weed.

And I knew that he would only be open to using medical marijuana if he doesn’t have to get high.

So I went onto finding the answer to my next question:

Can my brother use medical marijuana WITHOUT getting high?

Differentiating CBD vs THC

After further research, I learned that marijuana has over 60 different compounds.

But I noticed 2 main compounds of marijuana that were being compared everywhere I looked:

CBD (cannabidiol) & THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)

Why was this significant?

Because I learned that THC makes you high, and CBD does not.

But here is the much more important fact I discovered:

While CBD doesn’t get you high, it delivers very similar medical benefits as THC.

Here is a short video that explains the difference between CBD vs THC:

Discovering this was key.

Why?

Because I realized that my brother could gain the benefits of CBD… without getting high.

And I knew that if my brother didn’t have to get high from CBD, he would be open to it after all.

Bottom Line: You can gain medical benefits of marijuana WITHOUT getting high (by consuming CBD only).

So I went onto refining my most important question:

Question #3: Can CBD Cure My Brother’s Cachexia?

After focusing only on the medical benefits of CBD (instead of cannabis as a whole), I was quickly able to find a handful of its benefits.

But I made sure to filter out the benefits that were only relevant to curing my brother’s cachexia.

Specifically, I wanted to know if CBD can cure 3 of the deadliest cachexia symptoms that my brother was suffering from:

Inability to eat Inability to gain weight, and Endless vomiting as a result of constant nausea

And after several hours of research, I discovered that CBD has the potential to cure ALL 3 of these symptoms:

Research Finding #1: CBD Has Been Shown to Increase Appetite

Contrary to popular beliefs, CBD acts on both CB1 and CB2 receptors indirectly (as also explained in the video).

And the above research article states that activating CB1 receptors can help cancer patients recover from cachexia, by:

Increase your appetite by stimulating food intake

Increase nutrient absorption from the foods you eat, and

Decrease the feeling of fullness in your stomach

Since my brother’s drastic weight-loss was mainly caused by his inability to eat, discovering this evidence was huge.

By using CBD to activate his CB1 receptors, my brother would not only be able to eat more, but also gain more weight from the same amount of food that he eats.

Research Finding #2: CBD Has Been Shown to Aid in Weight Recovery

The same article indicates that CBD doesn’t only stimulate your appetite, but it also increases fat storage in your liver.

This is the main mechanism that allows cancer patients who suffer from cachexia to recover from it so effectively.

And after finding out that CBD can help my brother eat more, and gain more weight, I knew I had to answer one more question:

Can CBD stop my brother from vomiting?

Not surprisingly, it wasn’t long before I found the answer.

Research Finding #3: CBD Has Been Shown to Reduce Nausea

In the above study, Dr. Linda A. Parker reports that CBD interferes with nausea in rats.

Her team found that “the expression of the retching reaction was completely suppressed by pre-treatment with each of the principal cannabinoids.”

So that is when I realized:

CBD can end my brother’s nausea and vomiting for good.

And after researching for hours through endless articles and journals, I couldn’t believe how many MORE medicinal benefits CBD can provide you.

(I’ve included links to these articles at the bottom of this post)

But most importantly, I found the ultimate answer I was looking for.

Bottom Line: CBD Has the Potential to Cure My Brother’s Cachexia.

I had the choice to surf through more research articles to be 100% confident about my research findings.

But I was running out of time.

So after learning from several credible research articles that:

CBD can increase your appetite, CBD can help you gain weight faster, and CBD can prevent vomiting by reducing feelings of nausea,

I had no choice but to finally ask my brother to give CBD a shot.

Planning My Brother’s Recovery with CBD

Aforementioned, my brother was NOT a fan of marijuana.

But after he learned that CBD is his best shot at recovery (and that he DOESN’T have to feel stoned), he was willing to try CBD after all.

So I quickly went onto consulting doctors and medical professionals for help…

…and thanks to their priceless support, we formulated a precise CBD dosage plan for my brother.

Regarding the consumption method: He was recommended to ingest full-spectrum CBD oil daily (in the form of either tinctures, gel capsules, or CBD pens).

And for the dosages: The standard for patients specifically looking to increase appetite was 20-40 mg of CBD per day.

But since everyone reacts to CBD differently, we started with a minimal dosage in the 1st week, and observed my brother’s bodily responses and improvements in his health.

And upon evaluating his responses, we re-established a new dosage for the following week, and repeated this process until the end of week 5.

My Brother’s 5-Week CBD Dosage Plan (Detailed Report)

Below is a precise timeline of my brother’s CBD consumptions, and the day-to-day improvements in his health.

Starting from Monday 2 March 2015 to 5 April 2015, I documented the following:

Exact quantity of CBD that my brother consumed day-to-day

The specific form of CBD he consumed

Improvements of his symptoms (or lack there of)

His weight-gain progression

Changes in his appetite, diet, and overall eating habits

Health challenges my brother had to overcome at every stage of the treatment

Other observations

1st Week (2-8 March 2015): 20mg per day (10mg before eating 1st meal of the day at 9:30am; 10mg before going to sleep at 11:00pm) via tincture (2-4 March) & gel capsule (5-8 March) Monday, March 2nd : A little before breakfast, my brother consumed 10mg of CBD. Almost immediately the first sensation he felt was his nausea disappearing. In effect, CBD appeared to have curtailed him from vomiting. He also mentioned that his appetite was “better than before,” but he failed to consume the entire meal.

He found consuming CBD via tinctures a lot easier. Using tinctures in fact restored his sense of independence. Swallowing gel capsules also required a water intake afterwards. He was too fragile to pour himself a glass of water. Tinctures simply required him putting a few drops under his tongue. Again, his nausea and vomiting appeared to only lessen after the CBD intake, but it returned shortly after.

2nd Week (9-15 March 2015): 27mg per day (13.5mg before eating 1st meal; 13.5mg before going to sleep) via tincture (9-11 March), gel capsule (12-14 March), and CBD pen (15 March) Monday, March 9th : Because his 1st round of chemotherapy failed to deliver significant results, my brother had started his 2nd round of chemotherapy. Previously, after undergoing an intravenous chemotherapy (IV Chemo) session for a hour-long (which involves injecting chemotherapy medicine directly into the patient’s bloodstream), my brother would experience severe muscle and stomach pain besides nausea. In particular, he described the pains as feelings of burning, numbness, and sharp, shooting pains. CBD appeared to ease those pains or distract him from it. Restoring his appetite, in turn, made his eating experience a lot more pleasurable. Moments of small happiness like these appeared to have distracted him from his bodily pains.

Here’s the difference from his perspective. Aforementioned, tinctures were convenient because it was easy to consume, it didn’t require water (unlike capsules). In the case of CBD pens, it’s entertaining to use, especially for an individual who is bed-ridden, stuck at the hospital 24/7. Because of this, using CBD pens brightened up his mood. (Vaping clouds are fun to play with.) CBD pens’ downfall however is that it requires frequent charging.

After 5th Week: My brother decided to continue using CBD after successfully completing our 5-week dosage trial. Since the last 5 weeks, he made noteworthy progress. Even though he still eats small, he finishes all 3 meals and sometimes, asks for more. His vomiting had completely stopped. He still does experience nausea, but it isn’t as significant as before. Again, he is better able to manage his IV Chemo sessions.

My Brother’s Weight Gain Progression

From March 2 to April 4, my brother’s weight went from 149.7lbs (67.9kg) to 160.9lbs (73.0kg).

In other words, he gained 11.2lbs (5.1kg) in 33 days with the help of CBD.

But more importantly:

My brother hit a BMI score of 19.6, which was back within the healthy range.

Here is a detailed graph of his day-to-day weight gain progression during the 5-week period:

Shortly after my brother’s weight gain, the doctors confirmed the following:

He had fully treated his cachexia.

And although my brother was still far below his usual weight, and needed a good few months to fully recover, I was more than grateful at this point.

Because it was only 5 weeks ago when I wasn’t sure if he could gain a single ounce of weight, let alone survive through his condition.

After all, the result of his treatment answered my initial prayers:

CBD cured my brother’s cachexia and saved his life.

Witnessing My Brother’s Miraculous Recovery



Fast-forward 6 months after my brother’s CBD treatment, so much has changed:

My brother no longer had prostate cancer,

My brother no longer had cachexia, and

My brother’s health had fully restored back to normal.

When we checked back at the hospital, doctors were impressed by his rapid pace of recovery:

Since the end of the 5-week CBD Treatment, my brother went from 161lbs (73kg) to 183lbs (83kg) in just 6 months!

Thanks to CBD, it was hard to believe that my brother actually suffered from prostate cancer, or the lethal effects of chemotherapy…

Because after 6 months of full recovery, he looked EVEN healthier than before all of these events happened.

And as a result, he was able to go back to his favorite hobbies:

Working out

Basketball, and

Cycling

He went back to his old smart and witty self again, cracking jokes left and right…

He reconnected with his old buddies, found a new girlfriend, and gets physically active in his spare time…

He even got himself a desk job at a construction design firm…

But most importantly:

He went back to doing what he loves doing.

Going for His Final Test After 2 Years…

In 2017, after 2 years had passed, it was pretty clear that my brother wasn’t going to suffer from another drastic episode of weight loss.

He went back to being a robust 210lb man, lived a very active lifestyle, and continued to consume CBD without any strict regiment.

But there was still one more issue that we had to check back on:

His prostate cancer

So for the last time, we went back in the hospital.

And when the doctor informed us about the result, we were in awe…

The cancer was gone for good.

Throughout this hard-fought battle, my brother developed an amazing appreciation for life.

Not only did he defeat cancer, and survive through a lethal amount of weight-loss, but he came out of this difficult experience as a stronger person.

However, this was only the beginning for me and my brother…

Our Vision at Blaze4Days

After my brother’s incredible journey with CBD, we started looking for ways to spread the word.

And it wasn’t long until we came across Blaze4Days.

Blaze4Days is a cannabis information hub that has one goal:

To improve the health of people’s lives by promoting the use of medical marijuana.

As soon as we learned this, we knew we came to the right place.

And thanks to our deep passion for this topic, we got hired to blog here full time.

We now have the privilege to promote CBD as a viable medicine for anyone suffering from chronic diseases, mental illnesses, and even those who want it as a daily supplement for their well-being.

Our One and Only Message to You

There is only one reason why I’m sharing my brother’s story:

We want to help save as many lives as possible.

Now, I’m not advocating that everyone should use CBD, or that every type of illness can be cured using CBD alone.

I’m merely sharing his story to demonstrate how powerful CBD can be…

…and how cannabis as a whole goes beyond getting high and chilling with your friends.

So, if there is just one thing to take away from this ENTIRE post, it is this:

Cannabis can save your life.

Bonus: More Life-Saving CBD Benefits (Scientific Resources)

As I promised earlier, I’ve gathered a list of research articles that demonstrate how CBD can cure a wide array of unwanted health conditions, specifically:

Breast Cancer Colon Cancer Cancer Growth Tumor Neuroblastoma Nerve Cancer Prostate Cancer



So feel free to check out the articles below, and share them with anybody that may need them.

Breast Cancer

“Pathways mediating the effects of cannabidiol on the reduction of breast cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis” (Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. 129(1):37-47):

According to the 2011 study looking at the effects of CBD in the treatment of breast cancer, the research showed “that CBD inhibits human breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion through differential modulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathways…”

Colon Cancer

“Chemopreventive effect of the non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid cannabidiol on experimental colon cancer” (Journal of Molecular Medicine. Aug. 2012 , Vol. 90, Issue 8, pp 925–934):

According to the 2012 study investigating the chemopreventative effect of CBD on colon cancer, the data demonstrated “that cannabidiol exerts chemopreventive effect in vivo and reduces cell proliferation through multiple mechanisms.”

Cancer Growth

“Cannabidol as potential anticancer drug” (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. 2013 Feb; 75(2): 303–312.):

“Collectively, the non-psychoactive plant-derived cannabinoid CBD exhibits pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative actions in different types of tumours and may also exert anti-migratory, anti-invasive, anti-metastatic and perhaps anti-angiogenic properties. On the basis of these results, evidence is emerging to suggest that CBD is a potent inhibitor of both cancer growth and spread. Interestingly, the anticancer effect of this compound seems to be selective for cancer cells, at least in vitro, since it does not affect normal cell lines.”

“Cannabidiol inhibits cancer cell invasion via upregulation of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1” (Biochemical Pharmacology. 2010 Apr 1;79(7):955-66.):

A 2010 study evaluating the impact of CBD on cancer cell invasion found that “[providing] a novel mechanism underlying the anti-invasive action of cannabidiol and imply its use as a therapeutic option for the treatment of highly invasive cancers.”

Tumor

“Antitumor effects of cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, on human glioma cell lines” (Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. 2004 Mar; 308(3):838-45.):

A study looking at anti-tumor effects of cannabidiol on human glioma cell lines found that “the nonpsychoactive CBD was able to produce a significant antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an antineoplastic agent.”

“Cannabidiol inhibits angiogenesis by multiple mechanisms” (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. 2012 Nov; 167(6): 1218–1231.):

“CBD exerts a potent anti-angiogenic effect by widely affecting several pathways involved in this process. Its dual effect on both tumour and endothelial cells further suggests that CBD could represent a potential effective agent in cancer therapy.”

Neuroblastoma Nerve Cancer

“In vitro and in vivo efficacy of non-psychoactive cannabidiol in neuroblastoma” (Current Oncology. 2016 Mar; 23(2):S15-22.):

According to the 2016 study evaluating CBD in the treatment of nerve cancer (Neuroblastoma) “the antitumourigenic action of CBD on NBL cells. Because CBD is a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid that appears to be devoid of side effects, our results support its exploitation as an effective anticancer drug in the management of NBL.”

Prostate Cancer

“Non-THC cannabinoids inhibit prostate carcinoma growth in vitro and in vivo: pro-apoptotic effects and underlying mechanisms” (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. 2013 Jan; 168(1): 79–102.):

According to the 2013 study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, the research demonstrated “that plant-derived cannabinoids, especially cannabidiol, are potent inhibitors of prostate carcinoma viability in vitro.”
