Cannabis and Children






How is it possible that a substance like THC has almost no effect on small children?

Caring for a sick child is a lot like carrying the unbearable weight of a giant boulder uphill even though the child often weighs less than a small stone. In my experience there is a difference between adult suffering and child suffering in terms of how each handles their pain and sorrow in sickness. And ii have noticed that little children are much better at dealing with sufferance and ii am convinced that this has a lot to do with receptor expression. Some scientists now accept that the role of the EC system begins at conception and continues throughout pregnancy and beyond to ensure overall optimal health of the living human being.

Professor Ester Fride Ph.D. passed away 1 January 2010 age 56. She was the Dutch born Israeli scientist who worked with Professor Mechoulam in the 1990’s and became known for revealing the fact that a new born mammal cannot suckle and survive without a functional EC system. She worked closely with Professor Mechoulam and the two shared a lab. He graced her with the title of Chairperson at the Department of Behavioural Sciences and the Department of Molecular Biology at The College of Judea and Samaria in Ariel Israel. In 2000 she was given her own lab and began researching the role of the EC system in the infant suckling process.

Thanks to her research we now have scientific proof that the activation of our Cannabinoid receptors by our natural Endocannabinoids is crucial to the suckling response in new born babies. She co-authored over 40 research papers where she released research which suggested a very promising future for the study of Cannabinoids in paediatric medicine. It was Professor Fride’s research going back to 2004 which proved that our own Endocannabinoids were naturally present in human breast milk and that Cannabinoids are necessary to stimulate the suckling process in new born mammals. Part of this research also revealed that Endocannabinoids help to stimulate the tongue muscles and this is why today we remain confident in going forward and treating various swallowing difficulties with Cannabis medicine in adults and children because the research results are so successful.

Professor Ester referred to Endocannabinoids as “extremely vital for proper human development”  and some of her later work revealed that Endocannabinoids play a major role in the development of the foetal brain and she also discovered that Endocannabinoids can be altered when a pregnant mother is under stress regardless of whether the mother consumes Cannabis or not. From the very first feed a human baby is offered from its mothers breast a new born human is already experiencing an activation of its EC system which is the start of building its own immune system and other physiological systems in the body. Possibly of greatest importance is that Professor Fride’s work proved that in infants growth failure due to the inability to take up food was attributed to an under developed EC system. Once the baby starts suckling, the Anandamide and 2-AG from the maternal milk automatically increases these levels in the brain which in turn stimulates feeding. 

Professor Ester’s theory proves that blockages of Cannabinoid receptors contribute to infant failure to thrive conditions because of the failure to stimulate the suckling response in infants. This is one of the reasons she strongly advocated the use of Cannabinoids in paediatric practise.

Every new day we hear positive stories of what Cannabis can do for children especially in respect of many types of cancers, epilepsy, autism for example. It was Professor Fride’s studies which also revealed that our natural THC, Anandamide displayed a neuro-protective role on the post-natal brain. The fact that our Cannabis receptors are present in the white matter regions of the pre and post-natal nervous system proves that the EC system plays a specific role in early brain development. Throughout our lives from conception to end of life THC is required to ensure healthy human brain development and this is why we need the Cannabis plant in our daily lives.

How is it possible that a substance like THC has almost no effect on small children?

Professor Fride’s work proved that Cannabinoid receptors develop very slowly during the post-natal stage. This ties up with observations that small children appear to be insensitive to the psychoactive effects of controlled Cannabinoid treatment and specifically to THC. Because of Professor Fride’s revelation we now know that this gradual increase of EC system activity in the human body is also accompanied by a gradual maturation in the response to the psychoactive properties of THC. In studies of post-natal mice a gradual increase in the density of THC receptors was recorded in the brain and this led to the important discovery that small children can benefit from Cannabis medicine without any harsh side effects. My personal research has brought up numerous studies from Hebrew University in Israel where children between the ages of 3 and 13 undergoing chemotherapy were administered high THC doses, approximately 0.64 mg/kg per treatment. Some of these children were given doses for long periods of time up to 114 treatments based on 4 treatments per 24 hour period. The anti-emetic effects were also impressive with no real side effects at all. And in another of her studies eight children between the ages of 3 and 14 years with severe neurological damage were treated with between 0.04 – 0.12 mg/kg per day.  Across the board improvements in behaviour included reduced spasticity, improved dystonia (muscle movements), increased interest in surroundings and anti-epileptic activity, all with no notable side effects. This same study included the case of an 11 year old girl who after a motor accident suffered a spinal contusion with total paraplegia and a frontal skull fracture. The patient suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder, mood disturbances and lack of appetite. The daily THC dose administered improved her appetite and mood as well as her spasticity with no side effects.

Over the past twenty years we have seen really excellent clinical results of Cannabis treatment in small children and young adults especially in paediatric oncology cases and where children have been suffering with serious neurological conditions and brain trauma such as epilepsy. All of these healings become possible because of the now scientifically proven fact that Cannabinoid receptor expression is different in children. 

It is interesting to note that only a temporary presence of receptors are expressed during development but not during adulthood in certain regions of the brain at the Corpus Callosum and the anterior commissure which connects the neuronal pathways between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. These expressions were noted between gestational day 21 and post-natal day 5 and this proves the important role for Cannabinoids in human brain development. This natural paediatric expression of the human EC system is in my mind so clearly and so obviously designed to be a biologically adaptive defence mechanism designed to protect children from illness because children are not supposed to be ill.

What about Human studies?

In her human studies Professor Ester confirmed the results of past mice studies and Cannabinoid receptors were identified in the human embryo at week 14 of gestation. In the 20th week of gestation in the human embryo a selective (lesser) expression of the receptors was identified in the hippocampus compared with a much wider expression in the adult human brain. An advanced increase in the concentration of these Cannabinoid receptors was found in the frontal cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia and cerebellum between the foetal period and adulthood. 

This proves that these receptors are functionally active at all stages of human development. So in other words the receptor concentration in these parts of the brain increased progressively only as the human progressed and grew. We can clearly see how nature has accommodated small children by ensuring only progressive development of the highly evolved EC system. The most important finding was that the psychoactive effects of Cannabinoid treatment is virtually absent or extremely reduced in children (in controlled studies) and now we know that this is because of the lower concentrations of the actual receptors at younger ages.

Is Cannabis the Human Vaccination Plant?

It is my personal belief that Professor Fride’s work was leading towards revealing the truth that Cannabis can very well replace vaccinations in small children. This is a controversial topic especially as certain vaccinations are blamed for the probable cause of many neurological disorders manifesting in small children such as ADD (Attention deficit disorder), ADDH (Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity), epilepsy, autism and so many other related conditions. And the fact that Cannabis is already being investigated as potential healing solutions for most of these conditions is more evidence in the case of this plant taking on the absolute character of being our true human companion plant starting from the point of our conception. The truth is that when you vaccinate a child you not only activate the immune system you also turn on the brains’ immune system. The reality is through vaccination the immune reaction goes on for years, non-stop, resulting in an inflamed brain that will not calm down and this is what contributes to brain dysfunction in small children after being vaccinated.

It is also shocking to learn that most vaccinations contain MSG, mercury, aluminium, nagalase and other dangerous metals all which we know can cause serious neurological damage. And ii know of many Jewish and Muslim families who do not vaccinate because there is pig product in the gelatine used in vaccination drugs. It’s interesting when reading doctors’ reports where they use descriptions like ‘the patient’s brain was on fire’ and ii always wonder how do they know that this is what it feels like to have an inflamed brain?  The only reason they could know this is because trial tests were actually performed and they know that this is a side effect of these vaccinations explaining the strong connection between autism and vaccinations. The truth is that if we were to find natural cures for health issues this would result in less profits for the pharmaceutical and related industries. And sadly a lot of false evidence is presented to the medical field especially to child psychiatrists and paediatricians.

Scientists seem to have this type of power to guarantee the products of large corporations in exchange for financial rewards. The supporters of vaccinations simply state that they are safe without any evidence at all and we all just have to accept it without asking questions about safety. They make false statements that mercury is safe and increases the IQ, and we must just accept this as truth when in reality it is lies and the complete opposite is truth. So a lot of doctors are intentionally misled about the safety of some of these drugs which are actually toxic. But the minute people stand up and suggest that excessive vaccination can increase the risk of not only autism, but also schizophrenia and other neurodegenerative disorders then they are the ones screaming for evidence. 

And despite inundating them with thousands of studies they always proclaim that such studies are insufficient or unacceptable. Mostly they just ignore the evidence. Most of the evidence presented to governments include cell culture studies, mixed cell cultures, organotypic tissue studies, in vivo animal studies using multiple species and even human studies. So for the wardens of vaccine safety the evidence provided by the opponents is never accepted and probably never will be.

It is through Professor Fride’s work that we now know how Cannabis affects children from the unborn baby to postnatal development and beyond to adulthood and so ii would like doctors, nurses, parents, grandparents and caregivers to feel a little more comfortable in knowing that we are not harming our children and come closer to accepting that Cannabis is quite possibly a medicine intended to cure all childhood illnesses. It is because we all have natural dedicated Cannabinoid receptors regulating our nervous and immune systems throughout human life that ii am convinced that the Cannabis plant will also become known as The Human Vaccination Plant. 

Cannabis is a powerful pain killer and anti-inflammatory and this is the first plant property required by babies suffering the harsh side effects of vaccinations. In my research ii have seen thousands of babies benefit from the pain relief which Cannabis medicine can offer. Vaccinations undoubtedly set the immune system and the brain on fire and Cannabis medicine is exactly the type of relief moms need the next few nights after vaccination day. In Cannabis we have a natural medicine which helps to reduce, treat and manage any side effects which do result from vaccinations including autism, encephalitis, seizures, fever, anxiety, irritability, nausea, vomiting and all the other horrible things that are associated with vaccinations. They always say that more research is needed but the truth is that Cannabis is the most researched plant and there is by far more research on Cannabis medicine than there is available on any pharmaceutical drug. 

In a 1982 research study by Medical Assistant Katherine Tennes 756 pregnant moms were studied and 34% consumed Cannabis. This study found NO developmental difference in infants of moms who consumed Cannabis during pregnancy and breastfeeding. So Cannabis really has presented itself to be the most impressive immune stimulator specifically designed to work via our highly advanced receptor system. Oh! Did ii mention that Cannabis babies sleep much better? Happy baby happy mom!

How does Cannabis affect small children?



The Human Vaccination Plant

Caring for a sick child is a lot like carrying the unbearable weight of a giant boulder uphill even though the child often weighs less than a small stone. In my experience there is a difference between adult suffering and child suffering in terms of how each handles their pain and sorrow in sickness. And ii have noticed that little children are much better at dealing with sufferance and ii am convinced that this has a lot to do with receptor expression. Some scientists now accept that the role of the EC system begins at conception and continues throughout pregnancy and beyond to ensure overall optimal health of the living human being. In my opinion Professor Ester Fride died mysteriously for the truth of how Cannabis can heal small children and ii would love to dedicate this chapter to the honour of her paediatric Cannabis work. Because to me it seems very odd that such a young women who was a known athlete and who most certainly knew the health benefits of Cannabis medicine would perish so young due to lung cancer.

In Loving Memory of Professor Ester Fride

This is the way traditional people used to vaccinate their babies in a bath full of herbs

It is also shocking to learn that most vaccinations contain MSG, mercury, aluminium, nagalase and other dangerous metals all which we know can cause serious neurological damage.

Above is a picture of my first granddaughter taken my late son in law Alan Shayne Smit. This picture truly speaks a thousand words of undeclared herbal medical healing which the world still desperately needs to learn. In the future ii would love to see people freely thanking Cannabis for their good night’s sleep and parents of sick children will rejoice children will rejoice in the triumph of healing.

What is Vascultis?


How can Cannabis heal Vasculitis?

Most diseases arise from chronic inflammation and Vasculitis is a condition resulting from inflammation of the blood vessels. There are various forms of vasculitis depending on the organs affected and all forms involve inflammation and damage to all the blood vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries. Because Vasculitis is organ related it can affect different parts of the body which means a wide range of symptoms like fever, pain, weight loss, insomnia, muscle pain, numbness, weakness, depression, malaise, visual problems, headaches, high blood pressure, gastric problems, kidney and other organ damage. Central nervous system vasculitis can also lead to mental issues and seizures. 

The biggest problem with vasculitis is late diagnosis and end organ damage so treatment is largely aimed at reducing the inflammation in the blood system and improving the functioning of the affected organs. People who are suffering with blood conditions like vasculitis are experiencing the most excruciating pain all over their bodies. It is an unseen pain which is similar to the pain people suffering with fybromyalgia experience. Pain due to vasculitis can be so severe that it has to be treated with anti-seizure medications and often antidepressants and then obviously opiate drugs as well. It really is a life threatening condition and a lot of people actually perish due to the toxicity of the long term immunosuppression of their treatments.

Science says they do not know why the body’s immune system attacks its own blood vessels but in my experience you can be sure that infection and inflammation are the main triggers. to me there is no doubt that this is an autoimmune condition caused largely by the toxic foods we consume today. It amazes me how many cases of Vasculitis goes undiagnosed. When blood vessels become inflamed the walls thicken causing the blood vessels to narrow and this reduces the flow of blood leading to less oxygen and nutrients getting to the organs and tissues. Cannabis has the ability to interrupt the production of proinflammatory cytokines which are activated by oxidative processes, cell injury, infection and disease.

In my herbalism studies we not only look at Traditional Chinese Medicine but also Ayurveda medicine which is very similar in terms of the focus on bodily balance and bridging of spirit, mind and body. Ayurveda medicine is the ancient herbal knowledge of the Indigenous American peoples and we thank them for enlightening us of the vital knowledge of the Pechoti Gland. Inside the belly button one can feel a pip-like hardening directly behind the navel. This is the pechoti gland which is formed from the dense network of almost 80 000 veins which are all connected to this gland. This is also the gland which delivers nutrients to the unborn baby via the umbilical cord. According to the ancient Ayurvedic texts the pechoti gland can actually detect which of our veins have dried up. The importance of this is that so many conditions can be cured simply by applying Cannabis oil directly to and around the navel. Cannabinoids are taken straight into the blood stream via the veins connected at the pechoti gland. This gland takes the oil straight into the veins and starts repairing the dried up veins by opening them up again at the very site of the connection where all of the veins in the body get together in the navel. Something ii have noticed in treating a number of vasculitis patients is that this condition is without doubt caused from veins drying up. This is why we are having so much success in offering healing for this condition by delivering Cannabis oil directly into and around the navel working with the pechoti gland directly into the veins immediately reducing inflammation.

It is because we have Endocannabinoids and Cannabinoid receptors in our blood system that the chemical components of the Cannabis plant gets to work straight away at repairing the damaged blood vessels and reducing inflammation in the vascular system. Vasculitis is a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis and ii am convinced that it is also a complication of fybromyalgia both are degenerative conditions. It is no secret that most aging related diseases occur as a result of inflammation like arthritis for example. Cannabis also has the ability to reverse the terrible side effects of steroid treatments for example weight gain, swelling from water retention and the depression. Painful leg ulcers are also a common symptom of vasculitis and ii have seen how just the simple topical application of Cannabis Coconut Connection® introduces antibacterial properties which help to keep infections away. Cannabis decreases the secretion of pro-inflammatory substances and also slows down their migration to blood vessel walls.


Another reason why Cannabis offers healing to vasculitis patients is because Cannabis also controls renal tubule hypertrophy. Our blood filters through our kidneys many times a day and in a single day our kidneys filter almost 150 litres of blood while removing waste and extra water from the blood to form urine. This is really important when you consider what Traditional Chinese Medicine has to say about vasculitis and other blood conditions. According to Chinese healers and acupuncturists conditions of the blood often manifest as a blockage of energy in the kidneys and spleen. Kidney problems are very common in people suffering from vasculitis and Cannabis has proven to be beneficial which is evident in the reduction of water retention. 

We know that Endocannabinoids and Cannabinoids from the Cannabis plant interact with the Cannabinoid receptors to activate various intercellular pathways that control a number of cellular functions. And there is now scientific proof that the EC system is involved in the cellular death of human proximal tubular (HK2) cells. These human kidney cells originate from the kidney cells from the HK2 gene on the 2nd chromosome and these cells are required in the formation of tumours in most cancers and cause renal tubule hypertrophy. Through the function of autophagy and apoptosis our EC system is able to literally cause these cells to commit cellular suicide and this is how Cannabis contributes to reducing hypertrophy throughout the body by providing the supplements which our EC system needs to perform its functions. Everyone needs a daily dose of Cannabis to sustain their health.
