Spiral Up With Ava Marie – Part 2 – Dennis Hill, Biochemist cures his cancer with cannabinoid oil. Rick Simpson and Christian Laurette have “given” you the recipe to cure yourself… free of charge. Hemp oil (cannabinoid oil) is not sold in stores, that is “Hemp seed oil” and it is good for you but it won’t cure diseases or help with pain. Hemp oil IS cannabinoids extracted from the buds of the female marijuana/hemp plant. You have to get buds or this will not be potent enough to cure serious disease; this has been proven… take my word on it or take your chances with your doctor.

Starting the Blue Cure Foundation to End Prostate Cancer www.facebook.com Interviewed by Chris Kelly | Video Shot & Edited by Donald Kilgore | www.donaldkilgore.com Gabe Canales is founder of Blue Cure, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization fighting to end prostate cancer: not just an old man’s cancer.
