// Definition
The process by which CBD (cannabidiol) triggers programmed cell death specifically in cancer cells. Unlike healthy cells, cancer cells accumulate cannabinoid receptors that, when activated by CBD, initiate the self-destruction pathway, making CBD a potential anti-cancer compound.
// From the Episode
Dr. David Allen discussed how CBD increases apoptosis in cancer cells during Episode 16. The panel explored how cannabinoids are accumulative in the body and that cancer cells are particularly susceptible because of their receptor profiles. The conversation touched on both topical and oral applications for fighting tumors.
