John Malanca was inspired to start United Patients Group in 2011 after a totally unexpected episode when his father-in-law Stan was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer along with a brain tumor on his brain stem. The situation seemed hopeless, seeing their father going from being a seemingly healthy 77-year-old one day, to being given a mere two weeks to live the next. “When you’re diagnosed,” says John, recalling those moments of desperation, “you’ll try anything.” That “anything”, as fate would have it, was cannabis. They started by giving Stan THC capsules infused with coconut oil in order to get him to start eating again. It worked. A day later, he was back at work on a computer. Nine months after the diagnosis, John’s family got an email that simply stated “no evidence of recurrent disease.” That was in 2011. Today, Stan is alive and well. Listen in as John shares the exciting journey that emerged out of that harrowing experience. He describes the many benefits of the cannabis plant and, by extension, naturopathic modalities, and how these can help bring the body back to homeostasis.   Follow United Patients Group @unitedpatientsgroup Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on CBN tinctures from Cured Nutrition with code EVERFORWARD at http://bit.ly/2RmXcja Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/490
