RUN FROM THE CURE THE RICK SIMPSON STORY
SECOND EDITION
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
My name is Rick Simpson; I live at 344 Little Forks Road
just outside of Macan, Nova Scotia. I'm here to tell you about
the most medicinal plant known to man, Hemp! Oils made from the
Hemp plant are the most medicinally active substances ever found
in nature and up until about 85 years
ago, hemp medicines were widely used all over the world many
drug companies in the 1800's and early 1900's produced medicines
for decades. Hemp is a plant, and therefore cannot be patented.
To drug companies, no patent means no money.
Hence, no interest in producing this drug. When you examine bud
from the hemp plant, you can see that it is covered in resin.
This resin makes the bud appear to be covered in frost. This
resin is the medicine.
When collected and processed properly the
resulting oil is an effective cure or control for practically
any disease known to man even cancer. We have supplied this oil
to dozens of people with cancer. Even people, who were diagnosed
with terminal cancer by our medical system, now have a clean
bill of health after treatment with hemp medicine.
When working with this medicine, medical miracles
are a common occurrence.
EXHIBIT: Mr. Edward Dwyer Lung Cancer Survivor pictured seated
in the passenger seat of an automobile.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
This oil has brought many people right off their deathbeds.
Due to the restrictions put in place by our
government, against this medicine, we feel it is our duty to
inform the public how they can make their own. In reality this
medicine should be produced on a grand scale in a controlled
environment using the highest quality starting material.
Producing hemp medicine in this manner would
stabilize the potency of this medication plus any danger
associated with this medicines production could be eliminated.
High potency hemp oil can be produced right in your own home or
workshop. Later in this video we will show you how this can be
accomplished observing simple rules of safety.
We do not approve of or condone this method, due
to the safety issues involved, and we bear no responsibility if
this information is misused.
If you or someone you care about has a life
threatening medical condition that our medical system has failed
to help, there is a very good chance that hemp oil is the answer
to your problems.
There are three different ways to use the oil as
a medication; you can ingest it, you can vaporize it, or you can
use it topically, but for internal diseases like cancer, lung
cancer that type of thing uh, the internal treatment works
magnificently.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
Well I've had four open heart surgeries and probably five
pacemakers.
I've been through the mill as far as medical
stuff goes, and I started taking this because my father was
taking it for his cancer which he doesn't have anymore this came
along it worked perfect it lets me do a days work or as much as
I can safely let's face it after four open hearts you are still
limited to what you can do but I go all day, wife and I four
wheeler all over the place it virtually gave me my life back
without the pain.
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER:
I have suffered from major depression since age 27, I suffer
from anxiety attacks, I've also had three back injuries with
constant aching in my back and had that for years and when I
took this medicine it seemed to take the aching from my back it
seems to cut down my panic attacks and as late as I keep going
on seems to get better and better my depression and anxiety
attacks.
STATEMENT BY DEBBIE DONKIN:
I had a huge mole on my shoulder, it was black and had a crusty,
it wasn't a natural mole and I had been sort of concerned about
it.
So actually knowing from Rick mentioning that it
cured skin cancer and removed stuff like that, I decided to put
a little oil on my mole and see if it works.
So I put a little band-aid over it, I only
applied it for like three days and then another four, then in 2
weeks it was completely gone.
STATEMENT BY CECIL "Pooey" HOEG:
I had skin cancer, melanoma cancer they told me, I was treated
time after time and I was burnt several times, I call it burnt,
they had another name for it.
But anyway they burnt me several times and uh it
wasn't doing no good, all the salve they gave me, I put it on
and put it on. So I ran across this fellow they call Ricky
Simpson, you see my face, it's all wrinkled up, but there's no
big holes in it.
STATEMENT BY MARGARET DWYER:
I use hemp oil for a number of conditions migraine, headaches,
cist on my ovary, arthritis, bad, bad skin allergies, snoring,
upset stomach, diarrhea bad, something wrong with my bowels, and
it helped with every condition I had.
STATEMENT BY JAMES ALBERT LEBLANC:
I had 2 months to live, I was cashing in, I didn't care then, I
got a hold of Rick and Rick explained how this stuff works, the
chemo and the radiation just kills everything inside you.
It doesn't give you a chance to live, and then
when I look at my hemp oil, that's why I'm setting here today
telling you that hemp oil does work!
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT:
WHAT DOES HEMP OIL WORK ON?
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
Skin conditions. Cancer, diabetes, infections glaucoma,
arthritis, chronic pain, burns, ulcers, warts and moles, for any
condition involving mutating cells migraine headaches, asthma,
insomnia, anxiety and depression, it works to regulate your
weight, it heals scar tissue, it rejuvenates vital organs, in
fact I would like someone to show me what it can't heal!
STATEMENT BY LARRY BJARNASON PHOENIX TEARS RESEARCHER:
When we began Rick asked me to find out if there was any
detrimental effects to hemp oil, as we searched we couldn't find
any, and research kept coming back with all the good aspects of
the medicine and as we kept looking and we ran into Dr. Guzman
in Spain who's done research since 1999 in the hemp oil, the
international cannabinoid research society has been researching
it for 17 years.
They have research papers and various researchers
and research organizations including Health Canada, but in that
research we haven't been able to find anything that appears
detrimental, everything is beneficial from the oil.
Cannabis and hemp traditionally have been used to
treat alcoholics and recovering drug addicts, and that hasn't
changed over the years they are still using it today in some
cases but most medical facilities don't recognize it.
I believe they don't recognize the product
because of the disinformation they've been handed over the
years; it's touted as an illicit drug, rather than a medicine.
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT:
HEMP HAS BEEN USED IN MEDICINE FOR NEARLY 5,000 YEARS
STATEMENT BY LARRY BJARNASON PHOENIX TEARS RESEARCHER CONTINUES:
In the research that we have the most amazing part of the
product is the medicinal value to it, especially in eastern
countries yet mainstream medicine refuses to recognize the
validity of it.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
To anyone that would say that I'm nothing but a high class drug
dealer, uh. To that I would just have to laugh.
Any drug dealers they sell it for a big price and
they make the money I've been giving it away since 2003. I'd
have to be the stupidest drug dealer in the country to give it
away, wouldn't I?
How you make any money if you're giving the stuff
away?
STATEMENT OFF CAMERA BY PRODUCER:
That's exactly right!
STATEMENT BY RICK SIMPSON CONTINUES:
I'm just trying to help people Christian, I mean that's all this
is about, I want people to know how to use it.
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT BY RICK SIMPSON:
"I want people to know how to heal themselves."
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
In 1975 I was listening to CKDH radio when the announcer came on
with a report of THC from the marijuana and or hemp plant
killing cancer cells.
Three years previously in 1972 I'd watched my 25
year old cousin die a horrible death from cancer. So when I
heard his report it certainly caught my attention, but time goes
by and I never heard any more reports, so I assume that the
report I heard could not be true. Or the system would be using
THC to cure cancer.
In 1997 I received a serious head injury at work,
the doctors put me on prescription drugs but these drugs did
nothing to alleviate my condition and many of the drugs had
horrible side effects in late 1998 I watched an episode of the
nature of things entitled reefer madness 2.
Dr. David Suzuki interviewed many people
with serious medical conditions who had been using hemp as a
treatment.
The results were amazing after seeing this
program I purchased some hemp and tried it. Just smoking hemp
did more for my medical condition than all those pills the
doctors were giving me and I told them so.
I asked many doctors for a prescription for hemp
but was refused.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
All the doctors would do is tell me that hemp was bad for the
lungs and to stay away from hemp it's still under study.
Even my family doctor said it was bad for the
lungs so I asked him what he thought about me taking the
essential oil from the hemp plant and ingesting it orally as a
medication. The doctor agreed that this would be a much more
medicinal way to use this drug but would still not give me a
prescription so I could acquire this drug legally.
In 2001 my family doctor informed me that there
was nothing more they could do they had nothing left to try on
me so I was on my own.
I continued producing and taking hemp oil as my
only medication slowly my thinking processes cleared from the
effects of all those chemical drugs the doctors had given me and
everyone around me saw the improvement in my condition the oil
had worked wonders for me.
In late 2002 my family doctor examined three
areas on my skin which he presumed to be skin cancer one was
close to my right eye another on my left cheek and another on my
chest in January 2003 a cancer close to my right eye was
surgically removed and they were going to schedule me to have
the other two cancers removed at a later date about a week after
the surgery by my eye the area was infected and very angry
looking.
I was examining where the surgery had been done
when the report I heard on the radio in 1975 popped back into my
mind I knew the oil I produced had concentrated THC in it.
So I put some oil on two bandages and applied
them to the other two areas of skin cancer in four days both
cancers were gone needless to say I was very excited about the
hemp oil curing my skin cancer so I went to my doctor's office
for a copy of my pathology report which stated that I had basal
cell carcinoma.
I informed the receptionist that the cancer had
returned and that I'd cured it and the other two cancers with
hemp oil.
The reaction of the receptionist mystified me she
went rigid saying the doctor will not go there doctor will not
prescribe this. I was standing in my doctor's office telling him
that I cured my cancer with hemp oil and they didn't want to
hear it?
Foolishly at the time I thought the system wanted
a cure for cancer. Seeing the receptionists' reaction to the
hemp oil made me very uneasy it felt like the twilight zone. In
April 2003 I contacted the pain management center in Halifax I
had been told by a friend but the center might be able to
provide me with a license to possess hemp.
All I got was a recorded message stating that
there was a 21 month waiting period and that you must be
referred by your physician. Now where did that leave me?
My family doctor wouldn't even talk about hemp
medicine.
GLOBAL NATIONAL NEWS AIRED OCTOBER 2006:
A big time controversy brewing in a small town over this, Is it
a cure all or contraband?
Here's someone who's dying from cancer, and they're not dying
anymore. Here's somebody that had something else, well they're
cured. And this is what's doing it! In a small Nova Scotia town
one man is trying to get the word out about what he says are the
healing properties of hemp oil.
As Ross Lord explains, where he's spreading the
word has created a major headache with no cure in sight!
In Macan Nova Scotia, this oil is gaining a reputation as a
miracle drug. That's the cure right there! oil extracted from
marijuana plants.
Rick Simpson has been making it and giving it to
friends and neighbors he called it hemp oil others know it as
weed oil in small doses he says it makes you well without
getting you high.
GLOBAL MARITIME EVENING NEWS AIRED DECEMBER 2006 REPORT
BY ALLAN ROWE:
Hemp oil containing THC has been touted as an effective
treatment for many diseases including cancer but distributing
THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is illegal that
has some Nova Scotia users worried their supply of medicinal
hemp oil will disappear!
Ray Bradshaw has the story hemp oil is
being used by some people in the Macan area of Nova Scotia to
help in the treatment of cancer now they're worried their hemp
oil will be taken away
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER:
People are being very scared of RCMP coming in their home and
taking their medicine from them and the whole community itself
is living in fear down here and including my family.
That's because the hemp oil Rick Simpson is
making contains THC an illegal substance he says there is
medical proof that THC kills cancer cells. Rick Dwyer says
Simpson's hemp oil cured his father's cancer and other diseases.
It took the fluid off his lungs, it repaired the
prostate, uh, it did so many things for him he doesn't even take
his insulin now for diabetes because it controls his diabetes.
REPORTER RAY BRADSHAW FROM SCENE IN SPRINGHILL, NOVA SCOTIA:
Amherst RCMP told us they won't likely track down people who use
Hemp oil for medicinal purposes but the RCMP say it is illegal
to provide people with hemp oil containing THC whether or not
the supplier is paid.
Simpson grew marijuana on his property and made
hemp oil from it this fall RCMP confiscated the plants but
didn't arrest or charge him they took it here so what's to stop
me from going house to house?
Simpson's says without marijuana to make hemp oil
he's been unable to supply people he's hoping the attitude
toward the drug will soon turn around.
STATEMENT ON CAMERA BY RICK SIMPSON:
People are dying for no damn reason. I'd like to see the most
medicinal plant in the world get the recognition it deserves.
For global news in Macan this is Ray Bradshaw reporting.
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT:
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISCOVERED THE CURE FOR CANCER?
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
I met a girl at the Macan Legion and she said this guy, Rick
Simpson had cured her of cancer, so I asked the girl if I could
meet him. And so she told him and Mr. Simpson came to the
legion.
At the time he told me that he had discovered he
could cure skin cancer and diabetic ulcers with medicinal oil
called hemp oil.
And I took this man as sincere besides that his
father was a ------ his father was a veteran and I felt an
obligation to check his story out as a veteran, as a veterans
child, and so he took me with him and I investigated it as I
should've and he took me to these people and sure enough these
people were all saying that he had cured them all and he brought
forward the evidence and proof and our executive and president
and in all of us agreed that we have to do something people are
dying needlessly and suffering needlessly.
So we held a meeting and uh we discussed that we
would put it in the paper.
Which the president and the treasurer signed a
letter and we put it in the paper asking for an honest and open
review of this medicine and we started writing letters to
provincial command as well as we sent the tape, I spoke to the
president of provincial command three times telling them to
please come up and you know at least come up and look at this
and direct us here and so they refuse to actually address the
issue and as our members and executive members I mean people
were dying all around us and people didn't know.
So we decide that we had to do something in that
and so that's when we proceeded to take the direction we did and
that direction was to call in these politicians our health
professionals and our enforcement professionals and all the
people who should have been contacted over this issue and when
we did we wrote them a letter and we stated to come to this
meeting we would show you the evidence uh the human evidence
scientific evidence and the medical evidence and that's when
they come in and shut our Royal Canadian Legion down.
What was really shocking was how they did it.
TELEVISED NEWS REPORT:
There's a battle brewing between a tiny Legion branch in
northern Nova Scotia and the Legion command.
The doors are locked here at the Royal Canadian
Legion in Macan even past President Rick Dwyer can't get into
the building the charter has been pulled and the executive
suspended because of their controversial support of the use of
hemp oil as medicine and has
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
Royal Canadian Legion members are dying. And for us to sit here
while people were dying and suffering horribly and us knowing
that this worked. I don't see where there's any honor to that.
TELEVISED NEWS REPORT:
Dwyer's view of the oil changed after his 82-year-old father
started using it. He believes it has helped even though the oil
is not endorsed by the medical community dozens of people in
Macan have been using the oil distributed by Rick Simpson.
He says the legal and medical communities are
against him and his discovery.
STATEMENT ON NEWS REPORT BY RICK SIMPSON:
But the Royal Canadian Legion and if you read their books and
what they're supposed to stand for it seemed to me that this is
a right organization to bring this out.
TELEVISED NEWS REPORT:
The Nova Scotia Nunavut command of the Legion says it can't be
used as a soapbox to distribute any political message especially
one involving illegal drugs Steve Russell says what the
local branch is doing could damage the integrity and reputation
of the Legion basically that's stating a policy they're saying
that the Royal Canadian Legion is in favor of this through their
use of our organization and that contra mines uh or contravenes
our general bylaws.
Legion command will appoint a new management
committee to replace the suspended executive. Rick Dwyer can't
believe it!
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
Well what greater integrity or honor for the Royal Canadian
Legion to speak up on behalf of all the men women and children
who are suffering.
NEWS REPORTER:
Russell says Legion command is considering further disciplinary
action against the executive here but a final decision has not
been made yet. Meanwhile Dwyer says he doesn't care much about
that he's just glad he did the right thing. Dan Macintosh CTV
news, Macan.
The Macan branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was
so impressed it hosted meetings like this one, aimed at
spreading the word about hemp oil but when they planned big
public meeting higher-ups at the Legion shut them down!
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
The Provincial command came here the day the meeting and they
come in and they locked the doors and I come in to the area they
had two RCMP officers here that told me I was not allowed on the
property.
STATEMENT BY STEVE WESSEL CHAIRMAN OF NOVA SCOTIA COMMAND OF
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION:
They are using the Royal Canadian Legion its name -------- its
insignias the buildings to as a platform to promote the use of
hemp oil as a medicinal drug.
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
I don't care if this medicine comes from a tomato plant a potato
plant or a hemp plant if the medicines safe and helps and works
why not use it?
REPORTER ROSS LORD:
For Rick Dwyer it's an emotional issue one of the Testaments to
hemp oils healing power is his father, a military veteran
suffering from lung cancer.
STATEMENT BY EDWARD DWYER A ROYAL CANADIAN VETERAN AND FATHER OF
RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION #134
And this last time I was in I didn't know it but they said I was
going to die in 24-hour but I didn't so I took the oil and
everything worked out great.
REPORTER ROSS LORD:
But the Legion isn't budging. They've suspended the entire
executive of this branch along with any activities planned for
the building until they install a new management team.
STATEMENT BY STEVE WESSEL CHAIRMAN OF NOVA SCOTIA COMMAND OF
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION:
There is no provincial or federal regulation which states that
this marijuana can be grown and produced into hemp oil for
medicinal purposes and therefore it's illegal as far as the
province is concerned and the Royal Canadian Legion does not
back illegal operations.
REPORT CONTINUES WITH ON AIR INTERVIEW OF RICK DWYER:
Simpson has had trouble with the law, The RCMP confiscated 1600
marijuana plants from his backyard last year plants he claims
were grown for medicinal purposes, and a court case is
unresolved. And so are questions within the Legion about whether
hemp oil is medicine or menace.
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN ROYAL CANADIAN
LEGION #134
That goes against the general bylaws of the Royal Canadian
Legion. What I did I'm proud of what I did I'm proud of it.
REPORTER ROSS LORD:
And for now since the Legion is the towns only meeting place
getting the word out about hemp oil will prove to be more
difficult in Macan Nova Scotia, this is global nationals
Ross Lord reporting.
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER PAST PRESIDENT MACCAN
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION #134
Because they had us under martial law, we can we
couldn't make a decision except for the four management
committee members who I feel betrayed all the other members they
come in they took our freedom of speech away.
We weren't, we weren't allowed to talk about why
they shut us down. So why were they there?
I mean when you shut a Royal Canadian
Legion down you should, you owe the members in the executive at
least an explanation of why you shut them down!
And if they shut us down over a cure for cancer
then who's doing the right thing us or them?
CHASING THE CANCER ANSWER; CBC PROGRAM ONLINE WWW.CBC.CA
WENDY MESLEY REPORTS:
Canada is in a cancer epidemic Got to blame somebody, their
silence is killing us.
It's part of the natural process of life, a
chemical is innocent until it's proven guilty, it's not that
simple. When I first got diagnosed it was the why me? I know
it's not in my family, I've tried to be healthy, I eat my
veggies I exercise a lot and try to live pretty, a pretty clean
lifestyle.
Shopping for healthy foods eh? We know all those
things, those things are great but, there must be other things
going on. It's not about me it's why is it now 1 in 2.5 who have
this stupid disease and what are we doing about it?
Dr. Sam Epstein he's a professor at the University of Chicago
and he's written this book called Cancer Gate. He very outspoken
about what we're not being told. He's a pathologist, with solid
science behind him.
There is now a growing and a critical demand for
the role of corporate responsibility and winning the losing
cancer war. The facts are this, there are clear data showing
where Canada is in a cancer epidemic.
Nearly 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will get
cancer in their lifetime.
STATEMENT BY DR. SAM EPSTEIN:
This is what Canadians are told about prevention, the seven
steps to health, the Canadian cancer society have ignored or
trivialized these concerns and told the public if you get
cancer, it's your own fault, you smoke too much, which is
actually right, I'm not, or you drink too much, or you're obese,
or you don't exercise enough, it's a lack of healthy lifestyle,
it's your fault when you get cancer. It's not the cause; we have
taken no action to reduce avoidable exposure to the carcinogens.
Whose fault is it? It is the fault of the
Canadian cancer establishment who has not informed the public.
A consumer has to realize two things, that their
basic rights as Canadian citizens is being denied and challenged
by the government, by the cancer societies.
WENDY MESLEY REPORTS:
But they are there to save lives the Canadian cancer society.
STATEMENT BY DR. SAM EPSTEIN:
The more money you spend on cancer, the more cancer you get and
the reason why is there has been virtually no movement in the
field of prevention.
So what are we spending all the money on?
We're spending the money on screening, diagnoses
and in other words damage control. You wait till they get the
cancer then you try to treat it. As such the more drugs are
bought uh the higher the profit.
Now the more disease there is, the greater the
profit.
WENDY MESLEY REPORTS:
I'm in Paris cause there is a huge international conference here
full of uh, some of the biggest drug companies in the world who
are pitching their latest cancer treatments, and cancer is a
huge business worth billions of dollars and they get a big chunk
of that, so I want to ask them what they're doing to fight the
cancer epidemic.
A big part of the story is the money um obviously
there are limited amounts that Canada can spend on cancer and at
the moment the biggest chunk of that money goes towards the
drugs and the treatments obviously big bucks at stake at the uh
at the pharmaceutical conference and they kept talking about oh
there's so much stuff in the pipeline.
What is your company doing to fight cancer? What
are you doing to fight cancer? Uh, it helps to feel better when
you have chemotherapy.
So how's business?
PHARMACEUTICAL REPRESENTATIVES:
Great! Ha ha ha. How's business? Business is alright, ha ha ha.
So how big a part of your business is cancer drugs now? It's
80%. We have drugs breast cancer, drugs in colorectal cancer.
We're a cancer company yeah, cancer treatment
company.
WENDY MESLEY REPORTS:
Do you have anyone in your family with...?
PHARMACEUTICAL REPRESENTATIVES:
with cancer, my father.
WENDY MESLEY REPORTS:
Oh really what?
PHARMACEUTICAL REPRESENTATIVES:
He died!
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT:
In 2004, Rick Simpson contacted the Canadian Cancer Society
about hemp oil curing cancer. This was their response…
"The Society does not endorse or support
medical products or dietary supplements…thanks for the
information. We wish you luck in your work."
Canadian Cancer Society logo
TEXT BLOCK WARNING STATEMENT:
MAKING YOUR OWN OIL IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE DO NOT
APPROVE OF THIS METHOD
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
Sativa strains produce an oil that is a very good anti
depressant and tends to energize a person but most of the hemp
oil I produce comes from Indica strains indica strains tend to
relax a person and give them more sleep. rest and sleep are part
of the healing process.
Place the starting material preferably good bud
in a plastic container dampened the bud material in the
container with the solvent you are using then crush the bud
material after the bud has been crushed add more solvent until
the material is completely covered I generally use pure NAPTHA,
but 99% isopropyl alcohol also works well as a solvent as do
many other substances. work and stir the contents to let the THC
dissolve into the solvent this process takes two to three
minutes drain the solvent from the starting material and put
through a coffee filter.
The solvent now resembles a color of gasoline due
to the presence of the hemp oil in the solvent.
Make sure the area where you are going to boil
the solvent off is very well ventilated idea is to carry the
fumes away from the boiling solvent to reduce the danger of an
explosion or fire.
Special care must be taken to avoid red hot
elements or spark of any kind that could ignite the fumes from
the solvent I have found that an electric rice cooker boils the
solvent off very effectively bring the solvent oil mix in the
rice cooker to a boil.
Use a fan to carry the fumes from the solvent
away as a solvent boils off continue adding more solvent oil mix
until it is gone.
As the level in the boiling pot comes down for
the last time add eight to 10 drops of water since the boiling
point of water is much higher than the boiling point of the
solvent used. This water that was added allows a solvent to be
released as the oil thickens as a last of the solvent is being
released it is a good idea to lift the rice cooker and keep the
contents in the cooker moving.
This helps release any remaining solvent and also
protects the oil from too much heat at no time should the
temperature of the oil go over 290°F gently pour the oil from
the rice cooker into a small metal container.
Put this container with the oil into a dehydrator
or put the container on a gentle heating device such as a coffee
warmer, it may take a few hours to evaporate the water off the
oil.
In the end there should be no bubbling or other
activity on the surface of the oil. When the oil is hot it is
quite runny but as it cools the oil takes on the consistency of
a thick grease.
Generally a pound of good hemp bud will produce
about 2 ounces of high grade oil ingesting this amount of oil
over a two to three month period is enough to cure most serious
cancers.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
I started taking it cause I ended up with chronic pain from a
blood clot from my last operation and there was nothing they
could give me except standard pain pills which I can't take
because I get addicted to me right overnight and they're just
too hard on my system every pain pill I've ever tried has caused
me nothing but grief.
Like I say if I take them for more than a week
then I'm looking for them all the time.
So I call that addiction I don't know whatever
medical term you want to put on it. but they do, they destroy me
is what they do because I got no strength no energy no pain for
you know a few days but then the side effect of pain pills is
pain. Why yes I'm definitely a believer because I'm you know I'm
walking proof of it.
And don't we all deserve to feel better? Right
without destroying ourselves. I think it's terrible the amount
of drugs that they shove into everybody and we're the little
robots right?
We're told to take that so take that, doesn't
matter that they, they just tear me apart, I mean they're just
not good for my system well they're not normal.
I mean anything that starts working against you
and course you asked him what does this actually do they never
really know it might help you while you're talking about your
life or death might's not good enough.
I'd ripped all the muscles off the bone years ago
well a four wheeler pulling it out to the mud.
Anyway like I say I get a protazone shot for it
but it still wouldn't work I could grab it, pull it down but
----------- reach back and do some light that that just didn't
want to go there anymore. I was told by the doctor that that
would never come back to my shoulder because it had literally
rip the muscle off of the bone he said.
It'll get to the point where you can use it but
that's always going to cause you trouble and never work right
again that was his pick and he was right up until I started
taking the oil.
STATEMENT BY MARGARET DONKIN:
Eric's father got diagnosed with fast acting lung cancer and was
given six months to live. Because I had recently read about it I
said well what about hemp oil?
And just to see what his reaction was, so maybe,
so you read about it in the paper, like maybe we should talk
about it.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
Once I found out that it would work on this I said well sure I'm
willing to try it.
Which never go back now I'll tell you that after
talking to Rick he said well you know it works on chronic pain,
well I'm your candidate to try that because I've lived that
since 99 everyday of my life you know I go to bed with it.
I get up with that if I wake up in the middle of
the night it's there it just never went away now I get a full
nights sleep, I feel good when I get up in the morning the pains
never back the way it was.
STATEMENT BY MARGARET DONKIN:
I always knew that marijuana was medicinal, I knew worked for
glaucoma.
STATEMENT BY CECIL "Pooey" HOEG:
Oh, oh, my eyes my eyes, my glaucoma yeah oh gee I forgot about
that yeah glaucoma, I had that bad, mine was up to my I don't
know if you people understand too much about glaucoma.
But anyway the pressure in your eyes is what it
is. one eyes down to 14 in the other ones 60 from 31-32.
I feel a lot better, I feel a lot better, I got
no pain in my legs now uh my eye sight's improving and I'm proud
of my face, it's wrinkled up, but it ain't got the big holes in
there. Like I had and stuff running from me, I feel much better
I don't know what I'd have done if I hadn't come across Mr.
Simpson.
I might not be sitting in this chair today.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
I take it twice a day usually in the morning and at night so I
end up out of that well like I say a drop is all I take. and
that's all you need because I mean us I don't have anything
terminally picking away at me right?
Well that I know about. I don't figure I ever
will have now.
STATEMENT BY MARGARET DWYER:
After I used it and it did clear up the symptoms I had 20 years
younger physically, 20 years younger...
STATEMENT BY RICK DWYER:
...it was taking the pain out of my back that aching on my back
with three back injuries that I've had for so long and just
having that pain out of my back it has changed my life.
I can sleep again, I can lay down again I can set
up and get in the chair I mean there were so many nights tha, I
laid there at the kitchen table at two o'clock in the morning
crying because this, this aching you know way it just wouldn't
go away and uh, to have that gone in itself was fine with me
like, anything else is okay I can handle anything else I'm rid
of this now you know.
Type of thing and uh it's a God's blessing...
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
...it eliminated the pain enough that I can function perfect;
the pain I have left is well within tolerable levels I mean we
all have pain right?
Especially when you get older, I'm 52 years old
I'm, you know I'm not as and like I say I've had four open-heart
surgeries that slows you down a little bit but I can't complain
about my lifestyle right now and what I can do I'm just happy as
can be because I never thought I'd be able to do it.
I been told by the medical profession years ago
that I'd only set on the couch and watch TV well they didn't
have enough ---- to go.
I mean I never had any side effects no problem
that way seems to control my weight though I used to have an
awful problem gaining weight and then going away gaining weight,
now my weight just stays dead and that's all the same.
I don't know what that is I think it just helps
your body work with itself.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
The reason I think that people have a hard time believing what
the hemp oil can do is because they've been brainwashed by our
system I mean we've all seen the commercials you know hemp,
marijuana is bad while I would like someone to prove show me
where the bad is who died from hemp?
STATEMENT BY MARGARET DONKIN:
It's like everyone, you hear about it, you meet the people that
have done it but every body it's like, I guess if you see in
some ways for the people I guess to believe in hemp it's like if
people say they saw a UFO and seeing is believing so for me that
was just incredible.
STATEMENT BY JAMES ALBERT LEBLANC:
I'm just happy to be alive you know cause there was nothing the
doctors could do they just said go home and die more or less you
know they don't come out and say that they said there was
nothing they could do for me.
I didn't really want to come down here but my
better half forced me to come and I did and that's the best move
that I ever made in my life that's when things changed you know.
I started eaten and I started feeling better I
walked out of here with hope which I didn't have when I first
come in when I walked out of here I had all kinds of hope and
pray to God and things worked out you know, and the hemp oil
just started working
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
The government and the medical system do not want you to have
the ability to cure your own diseases these people don't want
anything to change, they've got the big cars, they've got the
big bank accounts well we're happy the way it is and now that we
know about this oil, yeah, we can afford to go buy it because
we're the ones that make the big money, they don't give a dam
about the poor people.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN:
There seems to be a lot of things that this could help end it's
just a sin we're not allowed to find out more for the sake of
the almighty dollar, I mean that's what it always boils down to
right?
I mean people should have a right in this country
to keep themselves well, and that should be a basic right, I
thought it was supposed to be, but I'm finding out, not so much!
STATEMENT BY CECIL "Pooey" HOEG:
I went to the doctor in Amherst and uh I up and told him what I
was doing. he froze right in his tracks, I told him the story
that I heard that it would work, and I said will it work, will
it not?
Now he said Cecil, to be honest about it, he said
I can't confirm it, and I can't deny it.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN
There's so many people out there suffering with so many diseases
that this works for, and at nights I don't sleep very well,
because I think of those little children that are being poisoned
and that are being fed chemotherapy and radiation and infants
and, this is so horrible.
STATEMENT BY CECIL "Pooey" HOEG:
Find out how good it is I know it's good. but listen, it's more
than just for cancer.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
If you have a serious medical condition, such as
cancer. What right does anyone have to tell you that you cannot
use hemp medicine?
STATEMENT BY JAMES ALBERT LEBLANC:
Take a look at me 6 months ago (Jim LeBlanc - December 25th,
2006 pictured emaciated) I was up and down, up and down, I had
no energy had nothing to do right now I want to live, I want to
live, you know, God put it out there for us.
Why aren't we using it? Why are we denying this
to someone that's going to save someone's life?
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
If people would just realize how much this medicine can help
them, the world would be a better place...
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN
It's a miracle medicine, no way around that.
STATEMENT BY CECIL "Pooey" HOEG:
I got nothing else to say but, you know, it's good, it does the
trick, it works,
STATEMENT BY JAMES ALBERT LEBLANC:
I just know that the hemp oil works, I really can't explain, it
works, it works, that's all I can say, you know like a, it
works, God love us.
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN CONTINUES
All these people it, how do you not believe this, I mean its
right before your eyes?
STATEMENT BY ERIC DONKIN CONTINUES
January 07 my father came to stay with my wife and me, because
his cancer had become unmanageable and he could not stay alone
anymore. At this point the man had fluid in both lungs, couldn't
even hardly walk around, his breathing had gone down to 70% and
he was on his last legs.
We started him on the treatment, and inside of 3
months the cancer was gone and besides that he got nothing but
better, the man improved every day, from the time he started the
oil until he went to a maintenance dose in March.
STATEMENT BY JAMES ALBERT LEBLANC JANUARY 2008:
I went over for my cat scan and uh, I was going down the hallway
and I ran into a nurse, and she was shocked when she seen me, I
wish I'd had a camera to take the picture of her face. It was
worth a million. I went over to get the cat scan, I wasn't going
to go, but I went over cause I wanted to make sure. You know
like, you always have that little doubt in your mind, and the
results were "I am cancer free" and I was a happy boy!
(Laughter)
TEXT BLOCK STATEMENT:
Jim is happy to report that he is now back to work after beating
terminal cancer using hemp oil.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
Cancer and disease today, dose of reality. I was born in 1949 I
am a child of the 50s and 60s when I was young cancer and many
other medical conditions that are so prevalent today were quite
rare when my cousin David was diagnosed with cancer in 1969 at
the age of 22.
I thought that he had been misdiagnosed, could a
man of this age have cancer?
Three years later in 1972 Dave died from cancer
at the age of 25. My cousin was the first person that I knew
directly that died from cancer. I am not saying that people did
not die from cancer in the 50s and 60s but cancer at that time
was rare enough that I did not know anyone who had died from
this disease until I cousin died in 1972.
I spent most of my working career employed with
the Hospital system from the 1970s up until I was injured in
1997, I watched the exponential growth of cancer and many other
conditions that had been considered rare.
Every year that went by the number of people that
were stricken with these diseases continue to increase and so
did the death rates during all these years I often wondered what
was causing people to succumb to these diseases that were
increasing at such an alarming rate.
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
In the last few years through my research I have come to the
conclusion that this increase in disease is caused by our
environment in our everyday lives we are surrounded by chemicals
poisons and carcinogens that are wrecking havoc with our immune
systems.
Even our food supply, in many cases is not fit
for human consumption look at the hormones that are added to our
meat.
How could this be considered healthy or safe
seemingly innocent products that we use in everyday life are
full of carcinogens and other contaminants in my estimation,
about 90% of cancers are caused by our environment.
Over the last few decades the number of people
affected by diseases like Crohn's diabetes allergic reactions
etc. have skyrocketed and no one is doing anything to curb this
trend.
Through my research into hemp medicine I have
discovered that properly made hemp oil is a cure-all that could
at least give the public a chance to ward off these illnesses.
Throughout man's history hemp has always been
known as man's oldest and safest drug and hemp is non-addictive
why is the public being denied the use of this medicine by our
system?
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
The law that was put in place in 1923 restricting hemps use was
a total sham!
Laws are supposed to be put in place to do the
greatest good for the greatest number. in hemps case this did
not happen this law was put in place to please big money so they
can increase their profit margins what do they care if the
Canadian public suffer and die due to this drugs restriction.
The Canadian people put their faith and trust in
our political, medical, and legal systems to do the right thing
for the public.
Unfortunately to date, this issue has been
ignored we are in the middle of a cancer epidemic to whom can
the public turn? In the name of the Canadian people I am asking
the system to start working for the citizens of this country and
to end this needless suffering and death.
I don't care if you work in our political,
medical, or legal systems do you not have loved ones who have
died for no reason? Why does our system support laws that are so
obviously corrupt? What chance do any of our loved ones have if
changes are not made?
To me in life there is only right and wrong to
deny the truth about hemp medicine is a criminal act against the
Canadian people to continue hemps restriction in medicine could
only be termed insanity if no one gives a damn or cares for
nothing but themselves, what future does mankind have?

Louis Armstrong "what a
wonderful world" Pictured are newspaper accounts of the arrest
of Rick Simpson for growing hemp and curing cancer. A text block
follows stating: The active ingredient in hemp oil is
all-natural T.H.C. It attacks mutated cells specifically while
rejuvenating healthy ones. The natural side-effects of hemp are
health and happiness.
The song continues with
Rick Simpson shown shaking hands of the men whose lives have
been physically redeemed with the hemp oil he risked his life to
bring them. Another text block is displayed that states:
Worldwide cancer experts agree that chemotherapy is largely
ineffective in destroying most cancers instead killing mostly
healthy cells in the process.
Studies show that patients
who accept chemotherapy/radiation treatment are more likely to
die sooner that if they had received no treatment at all.
Another text block is displayed as the singing of Louis
Armstrong continues. Rick Simpson is to be sentenced in the
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia on February 8th, 2008 for the crime
of helping people and saving lives.
And another text block is then displayed which continues.
Currently in our country
it is illegal to cure
yourself (or someone you love) of cancer using hemp oil.
"Oh Canada!"
***
RICK SIMPSON TESTIMONY:
Since my injury in 1997, our medical system, our political
system, and legal system have all done their best to keep me
from the one medication that helps my condition.
The simple fact that denying hemps use to me
could lead to my death does not seem to matter to them.
In Canada we have what is known as the marijuana
access program even if a person is lucky enough through this
program to be granted license to possess hemp they are not
allowed to collect resins or to make the essential oil that
contains a real medicinal value of the hemp plant.
You can smoke hemp joints till the cows come
home, but it is highly unlikely that smoking hemp will cure your
cancer and the government knows it.
The public have been led to believe that all you
have to do is see your doctor for a prescription for hemp. the
reality is that you have a better chance of winning the lottery
there is approximately only about 2000 people in this country
that have a license to possess hemp, after over two years of
dealing with our legal system, I am truly sickened.
What chance does an ordinary man have when the
laws and the people that enforce them are denying reality?
During my charter challenge, about 4 dozen sworn
affidavits from people who had used hemp oil for many different
medical conditions were presented.
These affidavits were dismissed as if they meant
nothing. Nine months later at my Supreme Court trial, I had ten
patients and six doctors ready to testify but none were allowed
on the stand.
When you have people who have been cured with
terminal cancer ready to testify and doctors there to back it
up, why would their testimony be disallowed?
It seems that the justice system isn't looking
very hard for a cure. Anyone can see the loss of revenue that
the free use of hemp in medicine presents to the drug companies.
But also it is easy to see the suffering that
hemps medical restriction is causing. Are profits really more
important than the health and welfare of the people who inhabit
this planet?
Presently we here at Phoenix tears are launching
a worldwide Internet protest to bring hemp back into mainstream
medicinal use.
Our hope is that many other websites out there and the public
will support this protest to lift the restrictions governments
have put in place against hemps use.
The future of humanity rests on the success of
this protest get involved your life and the lives of your loved
ones are at stake!

Rick Simpson's Supreme Court trial
lasted seven days.
During the trial, six Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers
testified that Mr. Simpson did not fit the profile of a drug
dealer. In fact, Rick Simpson contacted the Amherst detachment
of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police prior to growing medicinal
hemp and told them that he was curing cancers and other
illnesses with it.
Despite weak arguments by
the Crown that Mr. Simpson was acting as a "criminal" while he
helped people whom the medical system had turned away; a jury
found Rick Simpson guilty of possessing and trafficking
marijuana, thereby condemning the Canadian Public to countless
more years of needless medical suffering and death. Join the
Internet protest now!
Contact your politicians
and ask them… "What are you doing about cancer???"
