Darren Miller – From the Brink of Death to the Light of Life

When he was first diagnosed with cancer last year, Darren Miller was given only a few months to live. He was told to get his affairs in order and finalize a will, because there was nothing left to do but prepare to quietly pass away.

Now, in September of 2016, Miller animatedly gave an interview, on speaker phone and spending time with his brother and a good friend, one of the men who helped get him cannabis oil to save his life. “I’m seriously just grateful to be anywhere; I’m grateful to be alive right now,” Miller admitted. “Every day is a good day.”

Darren  Miller’s diagnoses when the cancer was first discovered was extremely serious. He had stage four heart and lung cancer, a combination that doctors usually look at as a certain death sentence. He was bleeding internally, and he had to have heart surgery that involved the blood getting drained from his heart cavity and the empty area being filled with talcum powder. This procedure is not supposed to have a survival rate; it is only to help prolong life and ease suffering during final days.

“I’m seriously just grateful to be anywhere; I’m grateful to be alive right now. Every day is a good day.”

Yet Miller is living a relatively normal, healthy life now, apart from the fact that his heartbeat now hurts him, and he has a few other complications from coming so close to death’s door. He attributes his success to cannabis oil, which he claims saved his life.

“I take little pills of cannabis oil every day. I should not be alive,” he told us. “It feels like a miracle cure.” Yet Miller’s tale is not a blind testimony that all cannabis has universal healing powers. It took a very special kind of oil to help fight the cancer he was suffering from, and Miller had to face trials and tribulations to obtain it.

“The oil that works best for me, we have found, through our research and helping people, that if you have cancer you need a very high THC strain of oil because THC is what causes inductive cell death,” he explained. “There are plenty of qualities of cannabinoids in the plant, but what’s really important is to get all the THC, CBD, all in one in the plant. It definitely has to be over a certain percentage of THC to cause that cell death.”

Darren Miller went on to explain that the best type of cannabis to help fight cancer is made from an indica strain, as the relaxing qualities of indica help the user get some relief and relaxation. Like many medical patients, he also points out the folly of relying solely on CBD as far as medical cannabis goes. While CBD certainly has uses medically, there are many properties found in THC extracts that act in ways CBD cannot.

“The oil that works best for me, we have found, through our research and helping people, that if you have cancer you need a very high THC strain of oil because THC is what causes inductive cell death.”

“There are CBDs that are used for the metastization process, but the word can’t get out about it as much because the government is pushing the CBD agenda,” Miller explained. “People are being misinformed because there is a legal cannabis medicine out right now that is CBD, but that is not the cancer medicine, and people buy that and spend all their money, but what they got doesn’t work. You need a THC medicine of over 55 percent THC.”

Darren Miller initially got his medicine by travelling to California, becoming a resident, and tracking down the treatment he needed. Now, he lives in his home state of Illinois as a legal cannabis patient allowed to use his medicine. His brother is the police chief in his hometown, so Miller operates under complete legality.

Today, despite some wear and tear from extensive surgery for his cancer, Darren  Miller is cancer-free, and, as he puts it, “no one can tell [he] was sick.” While Miller still advises anyone diagnosed with cancer to take all their doctor’s advice, he also urges those who are diagnosed to look into cannabis by searching online and word of mouth in order to find treatments that work.

“It’s a miracle medicine for me and I’m living proof,” he explained. My family and friends can’t believe the difference, and it’s strictly due to cannabis oil. It has saved my life and un-debilitated me.”
