I don't recall reading that pot can cure anything, but admittedly this isn't an area I'm likely to research.

I did do some research about the effects on combating the sickness that accompanies chemotherapy when my mother was desperately ill with cancer.

At the time, I was willing to endanger my security clearance and engage in an illegal buy if she thought it would provide any relief and if she was willing to try it.

She declined. Towards the end, the doctors gave her as much morphine as she wanted, for which I am truly grateful.

A friend of our family was dying of cancer many years ago. She refused further chemo due to the pain and the advanced stage of the cancer and requested to be allowed to go home and die in peace. She smoked pot daily for over a year before finally succumbing to the cancer, but she died a very healthy 135 lb. Despite wasting away to under 100 lb. when she was on chemo and being given only 2 months to live, she gained over 40 lb. in 2 months and lived another 10. She credited pot for that “miracle” every day she could.
