  • Patent number: 12161607
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a combination of two different cannabinoids in the treatment of leukaemia. The combination of CBD with THC appears to be particularly effective in reducing cell number in this disease. Preferably the cannabinoids are used in the form of an extract of Cannabis such that many of the naturally occurring compounds are co-extracted with the THC or CBD. Alternatively, the cannabinoids are present in the form of a highly purified extract of Cannabis, wherein the CBD or THC are present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterized. Alternatively, the CBD and THC may be synthetically produced. A specific ratio of CBD and THC such as 10:1 to 1:10 (CBD:THC) or more preferably between 2:1 to 1:2 (CBD:THC) may be used.

  • Patent number: 12128012
    Abstract: A method of treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is provided to extend life expectancy in a subject. The method can include administering the ketamine to a subject having ALS such that the subject has an extended life expectancy compared to life expectancy of the subject prior to being administered the ketamine. The extended life expectancy is determined by the subject having a first progression rate of ALS prior to being administered ketamine and a second progression rate of ALS after being administered ketamine. The first progression rate is faster than the second progression rate such that the progression of ALS in the subject is slowed by the ketamine.
