Michelle Kendall's Legacy - Bruce Kendall & Professor Hinanit Koltai
12/19/22 • 49 min
This episode is to honour and celebrate the legacy of previous guest Michelle Kendall who died last year from ovarian cancer.
In her words:
"I think the universe gave me lemons. And I didn't just make lemonade. I feel like I've made lemon meringue pie."
Michelle is referring to her unwavering determination to use a scientific approach to finding a cure for her cancer using cannabis.
As well as making her Schedule 1 documentary highlighting the blockade on research into cannabinoids caused by the completely unjustified schedule 1 classification of the cannabis plant, Michelle and her husband Bruce ploughed their savings into funding research through the Israeli lab of Professor Hinanit Koltai from the Volcani Institute with the view to finding a cure for her cancer.
Sadly Michelle passed away in September 2021, too soon to see the publication of the peer reviewed paper based on her initial studies and curiosity which found that combining THC, CBG and CBC showed anticancer properties against ovarian cancer cell lines.
Bruce and Hinanit hope this is just the start, and are looking for funding to eventually translate these findings to clinical trials.
For anyone interested in finding out more about this work, please contact Bruce through the company he set up with Michelle before her death.

Treating cancer with cannabis and psilocybin - Nicole DiMonda & Jaime Brambila
Many of us have heard about how the anti-tumoral effects of cannabis and anecdotal accounts abound of patients who've successfully treated their cancer with cannabis oil.
But combining cannabis and psilocybin is a potentially exciting combination using a two pronged approach: targeting the cancer cells with cannabis while healing the emotional trauma and discord with psilocybin (although psilocybin may have its own anticancer effects).
This is the courageous route Nicole DiMonda took when she discovered she had breast cancer: up-titrating to high doses of a full spectrum cannabis extract, abundant in not only THC and CBD but also the acidic cannabinoids, alongside heroic doses and microdosing psilocybin. This until now, has been alongside standard cancer treatments.
So far, Nicole's results have far exceeded her physician's expectations, and her case history has been highlighted in a recent paper published in collaboration with Drug Science and Imperial College London.
Sadly, Nicole's cancer is terminal but the couple hope they can continue to beat the odds using their cannabis/psilocybin protocol. In the meantime, they continue to spread the word about this unique approach to healing not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well.
If you want to follow Nicole's journey, she can be followed on Instagram or contacted through the CBD brand Grace Health and Wellness she runs with Jaime.
