Segment overview: In today’s Health Supplier Segment, we are joined by the Executive Director of Zelda Therapeutics Dr. Stewart Washer here to talk about the results of their ongoing research into the effects of cannabinoids against various types of human breast cancers. While most successful treatments such as hormone therapy are options for breast cancer patients, triple negative breast cancer is more difficult to treat and usually require a combination of therapies, of which chemotherapy is a major one. The results from the study show that Zelda’s THC-rich medicinal cannabis oil formulation is another major potential treatment for this hard-to-treat cancer. Doctor Washer says that is where doctors are going to be excited as the company take this through – another weapon in the armour against breast cancer.
