[10:42] Open the debate on using alternative treatments and therapies for treating cancer e.g. using cannabis. Is there an incentive to look at medical research for cannabis oil and cannabis tincture - medicinal cannabis. California has legalised cannabis for medical reasons.More research and more clinical trials are needed.
[16:00] Ellie’s brother was the trigger for Mimosa Matters. Her brother had just been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer - very rare for an under 40 year old over a kitchen table the idea took seed as so many had been touched by cancer.
