About William S. Eidelman
WILLIAM S. EIDELMAN, M.D. graduated with a B.A. Degree in Psychology from U.C.L.A. in 1970 and received his M.D. from St. Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri in 1975. Later he trained in Psychiatry in Oakland, California but left that to enter the field of Alternative Medicine.
Currently, he works as a Consultant in natural approaches to healing. The main treatment modalities are herbs, nutrition, bioelectromagnetism and meditation.
In 2006, he discovered that the Alpha-Stim, a micro-electric current stimulator, melts the craving for a cigarette for 2 minutes nearly every time. Alpha-Stim is widely used for anxiety, depression, insomnia and pain.
Dr. Eidelman has been working for more than 20 years with natural cancer therapies, beginning with 714X. He has worked consistently with Poly-MVA and Apoptosin, as part of a healing program. He has observed the results of Energy Medicine in cancer.
He was one of the pioneer physicians to help patients obtain their rights under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and thus began a journey of learning the healing powers of Cannabis from his patients. While cannabis might be an “old faithful” for relieving symptoms associated with both cancer and cancer treatments such as chemo and radiation it is only very recently emerging that more concentrated oils, taken orally or topically, are putting cancer into remission. While these cannabis oils do not have the long term track record of other therapies well known to Cancer Control Society, they are very promising.
Dr. Eidelman belongs to the following Professional Organizations: Member, American College for Advancement in Medicine (www.acam.org), Member, Society of Cannabis Clinicians (www.ccrmg.org) and Fellow, American Institute of Stress (www.stress.org)

All right. Well, I've been coming to this conference for the past twenty five years, almost every year. And I started writing letters of recommendation for medical cannabis under the Compassionate Use Act. 20 years ago, shortly after the law for his past. And if anyone would have ever suggested back then that I'd be up here talking about cannabis might cure cancer. Are you kidding? No. But here I am.
And it's worth.
OK. So cannabis has been used for thousands of years all over the world, it's been used in China and India, in Egypt and in India. It's used. It's widely used, actually. And even though it's technically illegal now, it is part of your Vedic medicine. And they use it in religious ceremonies and even at parties weddings.
They make this drink called Bong that has milk and various other spices in it and cannabis.
William O'Shaughnessy was a doctor from Ireland who came to India around in the early eighteen thirties, and he studied Indian medicine in general and he studied cannabis in particular and did animal studies and did work with people and patients and observe people and wrote a paper that was published close to 1850. And in this, the paper became very popular. He read it in Europe at a conference. And then cannabis kind of became a big thing in Europe and in the United States. Now, one of the things that he mentioned was that he had good results in treating a bunch of different things. But he said even if it failed at the actual root of the illness, that at least the one advantage was that it would strip the horrors from the awful malady. And so you don't hear the term that often these days. Malaise, but malaise is the you know, you when you're sick, you don't feel good. That's malaise. And one of the things that cannabis does, even in a situation where it doesn't cure the disease. It can and usually does relieve the malaise, which is a good thing if you're suffering.
And so as a result of O'Shaughnessy is work, every pharmaceutical house had cannabis preparations.
Here is a couple of old bottles. And there's another old bottle.
And then while we're at it from the period preceding nineteen 06, Bear did have did sell heroin. That was considered safe at the time. And then that wasn't from bear. But you could see the cocaine candy for five cents was available. And then in nineteen oh six was the first federal law regulating drugs, the Pure Food and Drug Act. And then in the dangerous drugs like heroin and cocaine were made
