NIIM conducted a study to assess whether medicinal cannabis improved sleep in adults with insomnia, which is so important in cancer treatment and recovery.

This study involves monitoring treatment effect of photo-dynamic therapy using a lightbed and photosensitiser in cancer patients by Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) analysis. 

Electro-Magnetic-Frequency Therapy (EMF) uses low frequency waves (<25×106 Hz) – lower than those emitted by mobile phones (1×108 Hz) – for the treatment of cancer and/or pathogens.
