Skin cancer is a harsh reality for many people. Every year, thousands of people are confronted with suspicious spots, biopsies, and ultimately a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma —the most common form of skin cancer. This often leads to a medical process of surgeries, incisions, and scarring. But what if there's another way?
At CBD & Herb, we share a unique and confronting story that could change your perspective on skin cancer and natural support. It's the personal and scientifically sound account of Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and a pioneer in full-spectrum cannabis extracts .
When science suddenly gets personal
Peter Vermeul is no stranger to this topic. For decades, he has immersed himself in the effects of plants, biology, and medicinal cannabis. Yet, this knowledge only became truly personal when he was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2017.
Instead of immediately opting for surgery, he decided to use his own expertise. Not out of naiveté, but based on his in-depth knowledge of cannabinoid acids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the human body's endocannabinoid system .
What followed was a deliberate, dual approach:
Without psychoactive effects, but with the full chemical profile of the cannabis plant retained.
What happened next surprised even himself
Within two weeks, the first visible changes were evident. Inflammatory reactions decreased, the affected skin area began to heal, and the tumor visibly shrank. After five weeks, the skin cancer had completely disappeared.
Seven years later, there has still been no return.
This story isn't unique. In the full article, Peter shows how these results align with a growing body of international scientific research on cannabinoids in skin health and cancer processes.
Why full-spectrum cannabis extracts?
In the extensive article, Peter delves deeper into topics such as:
-
The Skin's Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and Why It's Critical in Inflammation and Tumor Growth
-
The role of CBDa and THCa in apoptosis (programmed cell death of cancer cells)
-
The Unique Importance of Cannflavins , Powerful Flavonoids Found Only in Cannabis
-
The so-called entourage effect , in which all substances in the plant reinforce each other
-
Why extraction method is key to effectiveness
This knowledge forms the basis of the philosophy behind CBD Spain and the products we work with at CBD & Herb and distribute in Europe.
From personal experience to broader awareness
This article isn't a plea against conventional healthcare, but an invitation to take a broader view. It's about the role of natural substances, prevention, and how science and herbal medicine can strengthen each other.
This blog is part of our series of articles in which we bring together the research and practical experience of Peter Vermeul — for anyone who wants to look beyond symptom management.
