A man is now 'essentially cancer free' after claiming cannabis oil helped to reduce 12 tumours by 95%.

George Gannon, 30, received his devastating cancer diagnosis last summer when doctors revealed he had multiple tumours in his brain.

After starting chemotherapy, the Hampshire businessman, and his girlfriend began looking at alternatives medicines.

In December 2018, George, from Basingstoke, started taking the the cannabis oil and by February this year, he decided to quit chemotherapy.

Three months later, an MRI scan on his tumours revealed they had actually stopped growing.

By August, medics said he was almost completely cancer free.

George told the Daily Echo : "It was quite surreal, I was shaking like a leaf. It was the best news we could have ever imagined.

“Back in December I was told I probably wouldn't survive."

Describing the changes he noticed in his body when he started taking the oil, George said: "I started to feel like a completely new person but I had no idea if I was well or not.

“I suddenly had more energy and was behaving like normal, I could tell something had shifted but I wasn't sure.”

George said his doctor described it as the "best day of his medical career" after discovering how much his cancer had shrunk.

However, George warned on Facebook that he's not entirely clear of the disease yet.

He wrote: "I'm not cleared just yet. And don't want to hype it up to much (the doc hyped it up for us) but it's more than obvious cannabis oil straight up works, clearing twelve tumours in less than a year.
