Our Journey Together

Patricia Crone was a Danish-American author, Orientalist,
and historian specializing in early Islamic history.

I have blogged cannabis post in the past, however, Patricia Crone was born in Kyndeløse Sydmark (south of Kyndeløse) 23 km northwest of Roskilde in Roskilde County, Denmark, on March 28, 1945 and she died on July 11, 2015, aged 70, from Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT).
Which is a mainstay treatment in patients with both identifiable brain metastases and prophylaxis for microscopic disease. The use of WBRT – has decreased somewhat in recent years due to advances in radiation technology, allowing for a more localized delivery of radiation. Crone is survived by her siblings Camilla Castenskiold, Clarissa Crone, Diana Frank and Alexander Crone. The documentary For the Life of Me: Between Science and the Law, created by Diana Crone Frank, depicts Crone’s diagnosis of cancer and follows her quest to research and employ marijuana’s potential cancer-fighting properties and to contextualize its longstanding legal prohibition.

When I first came upon the Patricia Crone Journey:
I found her in The Sacred Plant Docuseries and thinking how interesting. Then learned in Episode 7 that she passed away. So I thought I would blog her story. So Take a journey with a bold lung cancer patient as she sets out to find the facts about marijuana. As she visits research labs across the country,  as she struggles with her disease,  fear of the law, and experiments on herself.  What are the results? 
Is it harmful or healing?
After Patricia passed her sister Diana C. Frank, Patricia’s sister and a documentary filmmaker, accompanied her all the way, and early on decided to film the whole odyssey. 
But does the risks she takes prolong her life?
Damn Law we should be allowed to make that decision for ourselves!!!

Mixed Between Science and the Law is Medicinal Cannabis a cancer fighting drug?
Science says yes, federal law says no. Patricia Crone is caught in the life-and-death stand-off between the law and cannabis research, dosing and efficacy.  Patricia Crone, who was a professor of Islamic history at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,  was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2011,  when the cancer had already spread to her brain.  She was busy preparing for the end when she saw that the National Cancer Institute described some of the chemicals in marijuana,  or cannabis,  as having cancer-fighting potential. With only grim prospects for the future,  she wanted to try it. 
So Patricia, who had never had as much as a puff of pot, started a hunt for marijuana,
and for credible evidence of its medicinal potential. The clash between science and the law made Patricia’s journey hazardous.  but she acquired enough marijuana to start her very own human trial.  Over a year Patricia and I traveled everywhere, from university science labs, to
a grower in Oregon to actual consultations with her doctors, and get through tense moments. As she also awaited the results of her brain scans. Forging ahead in a world of hope, obstacles, fear, and contradictions, she rarely lost courage and never her sense of humor.
For her sister Diana she has been making documentaries for more than twenty years at PBS, ABC, NBC and Danish television. Some of my favorite projects have been the award-winning 9-hour series “Africa, a Triple Heritage”, a BBC/WETA co-production, and “The Century”, a 15-hour history of the 20th century with Peter Jennings.  Her first solo project “Cayutaville” was aired nationally on PBS and told the story of two families in an upstate New York and their complex and sometimes tragic problems in a seemingly idyllic setting. She also produced programs for A&E, Discovery, the History Channel, the Weather Channel and others.

Some of the advice I took with me from John Malanca’s Sacred Plant Docuseries and his
expert panel is that  Is that cannabis general application is for pain appetite mood inflammation memory muscle tone and that medicinal cannabis soothes the neurons involved  many autoimmune and  chronic disease. Generally recognized — its the flavonoids and terpenes (THC | ThcA | CBD | CBN | CBG)  that gives it its aroma and flavor in the plant that gives cannabis its healing properties by activating the endocannabinoid system  ( explained?)

Many people don’t have a thorough understanding of the endocannabinoid system which acts similar to endorphins which was discovered 20 years earlier. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the vertebrate central nervous system (including the brain) and peripheral nervous system. The endocannabinoid system remains under preliminary research, but may be involved in regulating physiological and cognitive processes, including fertility, pregnancy, during pre- and postnatal development, appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory, and in mediating the pharmacological effects of cannabis

2.  An angiogenesis inhibitor is a substance that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels.
Some angiogenesis inhibitors are endogenous and a normal part of the body’s control and others are obtained exogenously through pharmaceutical drugs or diet.

3. Medical Definition of proapoptotic: promoting or causing apoptosis These enzymes participate in a cascade that is triggered in response to proapoptotic signals and culminates
in cleavage of a set of proteins, resulting in disassembly of the cell.
