The distinguished Dr. Donald Abrams, cancer specialist and integrative medicine specialist, is chief of Hematology and Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital. Here is how the good doctor fits into the Simpson Oil / Dharmanol story.
Background:
Donald Abrams, M.D. Cancer and integrative medicine specialist.
"Dr. Donald I. Abrams is a cancer and integrative medicine specialist at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Mount Zion. Abrams provides integrative medicine consultations for cancer patients and has completed research in complementary and alternative therapies including mind-body treatments, botanical therapies, medical use of marijuana and traditional Chinese medicine herbal therapies.
In addition to his role at the Osher center, he is chief of Hematology and Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital. Abrams, who has been in the forefront of HIV/AIDS research and treatment, stepped down from the HIV Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital in August 2006 to devote more time to integrative medicine and oncology. He is an executive committee member of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and is co-chair of of the center's program in Symptom Management, Palliative Care and Survivorship. In 2004, he completed an associate fellowship in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona."

"As the anecdotal evidence built up in the medicinal cannabis community, top “legitimate” medical researchers in the field took notice.
An example is a group of cannabis activists in Santa Cruz, California who have been supplying Simpson oil to cancer patients. In this convincing study on multiple types of cancer, 25 stage four patients were directed to the group by a San Francisco oncologist, who has chosen to remain anonymous. The treatments were observed and monitored by Dr. Abrams, who could not participate officially because the cannabis oil came from the world of medical marijuana instead of the official government marijuana farm in Mississippi.
Dr. Abrams was amazed to see that 24 of the 25 stage four cancer cases went into remission. Statistically, this is unheard of in the world of medicine. In actuality, it is common among those who have treated their cancer with cannabis according to Simpson’s instructions on the internet.
Dr. Abrams increased his efforts to obtain some official oil to do the placebo-controlled double-blind experiments. The scientist running the government marijuana farm says he has a vial of oil just sitting there waiting for the okay to send it to Dr. Abrams. Has it happened? No. Is it expected soon? Who knows?"
"In light of all the evidence, several small research laboratories have sprung up in cannabis-friendly states operating under the auspices of state laws. Unfettered by federal regulations since August 29, 2013 when the federal government announced they would respect state laws on these matters, these independent laboratories are working on all aspects of cannabis medicine, from pure research into the inner workings of the molecules to development of delivery systems which will allow medicinalization of the raw herb.
One such independent laboratory is Berkeley Bio-Organic Research Laboratories, LLC, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Operated by two long-time advocates of cannabis science and cannabis medicine, Berkeley Bio’s main concentration is the medicinalization of cannabinoid therapy, especially for the treatment of cancer."
