 Dad Claims Marijuana Helped 3-Year-Old Son Beat Cancer 
by By Karlie Pouliot



Resident of Montana for a month gave his a 3-year-old son, who has a brain cancer, marijuana oil and claims that his son is still alive only because of this.
  Mike Hyde was feeding his son Cach the oil through his gastronomy tube, unbeknown to the doctors, to alleviate the pain of his son during chemotherapy.
  Father says, that his son stopped eating after the first high-dose chemo and he felt worse and worse. 
  This terrible ordeal for the family Hyde began in May last year. Brain tumor was found when Cash was 20 months by radiologists at Community Medical Center in Missoula, Mont., then the child was placed in intensive care unit.
  Cash was eventually diagnosed with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) which is a malignant tumor of the central nervous system that spreads easily. Cash went through three stages high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, but the results were disastrous, and parents decided to step in
At the end of September the child was not able to take food even through his G-tube because his stomach was burned with drugs and the doctor said that nothing more could be done, a child is getting all the necessary. 
  Therefore, Hyde decided to begin administering 3 milligrams of marijuana oil through his son's G-tube. After 6 courses of chemotherapy Cash got worse. He went into septic shock, he had a stroke and suffered pulmonary hemorrhaging. He was on life support for 40 days and in a medically-induced coma. But marijuana oil in his body helped him heal. He walked out of the ICU in mid-December. Doctors called it 'Christmas miracle.' " 
  Two weeks ago, he went for a check-up, and doctors were amazed. Tumor is gone and the internal organs healed.The marijuana oil saves Cash's life.  
  Medical marijuana is legal in Montana and in several states of USA. Hyde received the oil for his son through medical marijuana card, that was issued by the state of Montana in Cash's name. Marijuana has been widely used to treat cancer patients suffering from chemotherapy-inducing nausea and vomiting.
