DONT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SICK ~ GET YOUR PHYTOCANNABINOIDS NOW TO AVOID ILLNESS...


Can Cannabis Cure?

Don’t wait until you are sick, get your phytocannabinoids now to prevent illness…

You will be forgiven for laughing and saying ii am crazy to suggest that such a condition as Cannabinoid Deficiency could even exist, but don’t laugh too hard because there is more and more evidence pointing toward this reality.

As more and more scientists and medical professionals are beginning to realize that the newly discovered physiological system now known as The Endocannabinoid System (EC System) is very real and like all our other systems needs to be fed and stimulated to avoid deficiency and under- performance, so in the very same way as the body needs vitamins and amino acids and anti-oxidants, it also needs Cannabinoids to ensure optimum performance of the EC system.

We have already seen how deficiencies can cause some serious health problems for example vitamin deficiency and iron deficiencies can both cause havoc on the body’s systems and so too when our body is deprived of Cannabinoids when under attack from whatever reason, we begin to see deterioration of systems and organs which often manifests in one or another form of cancer.  This is interesting information when you realise that Cannabis can cure cancer and many other medical conditions especially those for which the medical system say there are no cures…we call these ‘orphan’ diseases and already there is a lot of research being conducted into the role of Cannabis in orphan diseases…it turns out Cannabis cures a lot of orphan diseases.

 
The Consciousness of the Cannabis plant
Only since the 1990’s have we officially known that humans, and most species (except for some insects) of life on earth, even jelly fish, in fact now have a ‘new’ physiological system known as the EC System, which got its name from the Cannabis plant. 
So we now have this ‘new’ system, and you can either believe that we have always had this system or we are then evolving and developing new systems.  The simple truth is that we have a functional system which requires Cannabinoids to perform its functions and so in the absence of Cannabinoids the system will fail and illness will set in.
The EC system then consists of the natural Endocannabinoids produced by the body as well as the Cannabinoid Receptors found throughout our body to which Cannabinoids from the Cannabis plant attach to perform the functions of the EC system.
It is true that a lot of plants do produce Cannabinoids but for sure the most significant of healing concentration in nature is found in the Cannabis plant. We speak about the ‘entourage effect’ of the Cannabis plant…which is the natural combination of an array of over 80 Cannabinoids and hundreds of other chemical components which together produce the specific natural effects of whole herbal Cannabis as opposed to synthetic Cannabis medicines which claim to isolate THC.
Truly ii do not believe that a zero THC product could exist since this would not happen in nature and the only way to achieve a low THC high CBD medicine is to use a known low THC strain which would naturally produce a higher CBD level as this is how it works in nature for instance in the case of Hemp which is known to have lower THC levels but never zero. Having said this ii am aware of intense studies in Israel in particular at Hebrew University where claims of CBD only medicines are indeed possible.
The concept of Cannabinoid isolation paved the way forward for easier access to Cannabis medicine for many people as well as more relaxed Cannabis laws on the medical front.  Also ii really respect the fact that even the producers of the “Charlottes’ Web” strain admit that there are traces of THC as it was derived from whole herbal Cannabis plant material.
Some people will tell you that Cannabis leaves and stems do not contain THC but this is not true as THC is even found in the roots and this is because more than any other Cannabinoid THC is associated with the majority of the pharmacologic effects of Cannabis so in other words, according to my research so far, without THC a lot of the other Cannabinoids would not occur or function in its absence and it is true that all of the known Cannabinoids occur in ratio to the presence of THC in the whole herbal plant.
Cannabinoid testing is a field which needs so much more research but in the Cannabis plant we have a truly remarkable healing technique. Cannabis is only for the healing it simply does not do any harm and all the harm the anti-Cannabis people claim is never backed up with any scientific evidence. But we do see hundreds of thousands of Cannabis success stories from all around the world proving that Cannabis quite possibly is the single most useful herbal remedy in the treatment of the widest range of human diseases and medical disorders. Personally ii do firmly believe that Cannabis is the extremely vital element of preventative healthcare, and the natural source of an adaptive support and defence mechanism in our ever increasing toxic environment.
Cannabinoids in breast milk…seriously?
Studies have revealed that Anandamide (a natural Endocannabinoid which imitates THC in the body) is present in human breast milk, and there is evidence to suggest that activation of the CB1 receptors is crucial to the suckling response in new- borns and it has also been shown that Anandamide has a neuro-protective effect on the postnatal brain.
 
Recently ii was researching Vitamin D and ii discovered that we also have CB1 (and possibly CB2 as well) receptors in our teeth pulp, as well as Vitamin D receptors. Through the wisdom of the teachings of my Elders ii have always known that we have Cannabinoid receptors throughout our body but truly ii would never have imagined in the teeth.
In my 2014 NDP dissertation ii started writing about the discovery of the CB1 and CB2 receptors and ii mentioned that the discovery of more receptors was only a matter of time…and since then the Cannabis Community has discovered and identified another 9 Cannabinoid receptors.  My research is current and copious so ii am still busy studying CB 3 to 11 receptors with an additional two to be considered as well.
These are such exciting times with revolutionary research presenting almost daily, so ii can share with you that ii have discovered that the CB4 receptor is located in the vascular or circulatory system with positive identification in the endothelial linings of blood vessels. While ii cannot say for sure at this stage it does seem as though the CB6 receptor also operates in the blood system but with added anti-inflammatory properties and for me personally this explains how we are able to cure many blood disorders.
So with evidence like this it really is difficult to comprehend why this medicine is still illegal and out of the hands of the majority of people who are suffering with severe conditions, dread diseases and depression all over the world.
 
WHAT CAN CANNABIS DO FOR YOU?
To be deficient, according to Chinese Medicine is any disorder that is caused by the body’s inability to maintain balance.
Personally ii feel that the main function of the EC System is Homeostasis which ii believe is the number one factor in the biology of all living things and is best described as the ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite the constant fluctuations in the external environment. In other words, maintaining the body’s balance and adapting to environmental changes.
The ability to maintain homeostasis is necessary for survival and medical disorders and disease are the direct result of the body’s inability to maintain homeostasis.
So then, Cannabinoids are responsible for promoting homeostasis at every level of natural life, right from the sub-cellular to the organism, and perhaps even to the community and beyond.
Over and above regulating our internal and cellular homeostasis, Cannanbinoids also influence a person’s relationship with the external environment. On a social level, the consumption of Cannabinoids clearly changes human behaviour, and often promotes feelings of sharing, humour, positive vibrations and creativity.
NEUROGENESIS
This is the creation of new neurons in the brain, new brain cells. Next to Homeostasis ii would say that neurogenesis would be the next most important function of the EC system.
Contrary to mass main stream media propaganda, research continues to show that Cannabis does not kill brain cells and rather the opposite is true, and in fact a recent study published in The International Journal of Neuropharmacology points to Cannabinoids as a cause of neurogenesis in the brain and it was shown that Cannabidiol (CBD) increases adult neurogenesis while having no effect on learning.
“Most ‘drugs of abuse’ suppress neurogenesis.  Only Cannabis promotes neurogenesis” – Dr Xia Zhang (Canadian researcher)
 
So now we know that Cannabinoids, derived from Cannabis, have a role to play in creating new brain cells in the human body. So, it follows naturally that a deficiency of Cannabinoids could result in an increased risk of brain cell damage, and also disruption or imbalance of homeostasis within the body.
According to Dr Ethan Russo, the Senior Medical Advisor at GW Pharmaceuticals,
“Deficient Cannabinoid levels may be the underlying cause of numerous conditions alleviated by Cannabis.”
It seems clear that a lack of Cannabinoids can cause disruption to various systems in the body and in turn this could lead to more crucial and life threatening problems.
We now live in a world where way too many people are medicated with prescription drugs which are also neuro toxic, which means they damage brain cells.  Then add to this all the pollution in the air, soil, water, food and vaccinations, all of which are neuro toxic, and we are starting to paint a pretty grim picture of the future of physical and mental health across the world.
Despite the fact that we are nowhere near lawful clinical human trials, there are thousands and thousands of reports of people suffering with various disorders of dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar, Alzheimer’s, autism and so on, having positive results by self-medicating with Cannabis in particular CBD high strains and the same is true for people suffering from epilepsy and other convulsive disorders. 
All these disorders including Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis and so many other conditions, for which they say there is no cure, all of these conditions are actually caused due to a bacterial infection.  As ii have written many times before all disease stems from the gut including mental disease and there is a lot of evidence towards the reasoning of how microbes shape disease in the gut in conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia and so on.
As a matter of interest ii recently read a report by Sean Adl-Tabatabai posted on 19 March 2016 where it had been revealed that Multiple sclerosis is in fact Lymes disease which is caused by a bacteria – the report of this 105 year medical cover- up has already (11 August 2016) been removed from the internet, further proof of the truth that all disease stems from the gut). This revelation also serves as proof of the fact that when a story does not make sense we must simply follow the money. Sometimes it does feel as though there may never be a cure for disease until there is a cure for greed especially the gluttonous greed for profit at the risk of human and animal health.
Also very exciting research from The Endocannabinoid Research Group states that their results suggest that the Cannabinoid known as CBC (Cannabichromenes) which is non psycho- active, can help the growth and survival of NPSCs and their scientists have found that CBC is related to higher concentrations of NPSCs.
So Neural Progenitor Stem Cell (NPSCs), are the stem cells of the brain and are therefore vital to brain functioning.  NPSCs are the precursors to the three types of brain cells, being neurons, oligondendrocytes and astrocytes, and because they are able to create any of these cells, they are now being investigated to help regenerate brain cells.  CBC also seems to inhibit the creation of proteins that cause the NPSCs to convert to other brain cells and this suggests that CBC may interact with this process and also take on the characteristics of being able to decide what brain cells are being developed and when they are being developed at cellular level.
 
AUTOPHAGY
The EC system controls the process of autophagy which is a process involving cellular destruction of unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components.
The process of autophagy breaks down damaged organelles, cell membranes and proteins, but does not damage or alter healthy cells at all, unlike the majority of so called cancer fighting drugs which kill off healthy cells as well as damaged cells.
The failure of the process of autophagy is the main reason for on-going cell damage and therefore the aging process.
It seems obvious therefore that we need to boost our EC systems in order to maintain our good health and indeed our longevity and failure to do so will result in a number of medical disorders.
The Role of Cannabis in the Aging Process
Dr Robert Melamede, former Chairman of the Department of Biology at the University of Colorado, believes that Cannabinoids can go beyond helping patients with cancer or Multiple sclerosis and other serious conditions but can also slow down the aging process and play a role in averting and normalising all age-related illnesses.
This does makes a lot of sense and we are all aware of the role of ‘free radicals’ in the aging process, they quickly multiply and become uncontrollable in the absence of antioxidants to flush them out of the body.  Free radicals also cause inflammation throughout the body thus intensifying other conditions commonly connected with the aging process such as arthritis.
 
Despite all this solid proof still this medicine remains illegal in most parts and strictly controlled in places where laws have been relaxed.  We see in the United States how the State Law and the Federal Law do not quite work together and dispensaries are constantly being raided and sick people are being prejudiced as the ‘feds’ walk away with containers full of life saving medication.
This is exactly why ii continue to encourage people who need Cannabis for medicinal purposes to grow their own.  It is false freedom where you are not in control of the production of your medicine and you do not know for sure what is in it or where it comes from or how it was grown.
ANALGESIA AND ANTI-IMFLAMMATORY
Again, personally ii believe that Endocannabinoids and Cannabinoid receptors are located all over our bodies but they are definitely found at the intersection of the body's various systems, allowing communication and coordination between different cell types. Cannabinoids are therefore neurotransmitters and it is now known that they are the most numerous of all our neurotransmitters.
For example, at the site of an injury, Cannanbinoids can be found decreasing the release of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, thus stabilizing the nerve cells to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances.
Millions of people from all walks of life use Cannabis as a pain killer and anti-inflammatory especially people who experience back ache and arthritis related conditions. But sadly too many other millions are blinded by the system and are mostly unknowingly consuming way too many and way too dangerous prescription pain medications which have serious side effects on the brain and body. What is even sadder is the fact that the majority of these people in blind faith do not even bother to read the leaflet enclosed with pharmaceutical drugs and then lack the education to make conscious decisions about their health.
 
REGULATION OF METABOLISM
Researchers have recently discovered that Cannabinoids can actually increase the amount of energy and fat which the body burns.
Although Cannabis is better known for inducing hunger in those who consume it, scientists have now found that Cannabis also has an appetite suppressing effect.
It has been clinically proven that Cannabis boosts metabolism, leading to lower levels of fat in the liver and reduced cholesterol in the blood stream.
So there is a definite link between Cannabis use, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance.
Scientists also now know that Cannabis activates the stimulation of Adiponectin, a protein involved in regulating glucose and lipid (fat) metabolism, proving that there is a strong relationship between Cannabinoids and therefore Cannabis, and exterior metabolic processes. Cannabinoids are fat soluble and the human brain is 60% fat, and this is another reason why the pharmaceutical industry struggle with Cannabis because they cannot dissolve any part of the Cannabis plant in water.
The Cannabinoid known as THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) has been found to increase sensitivity to insulin while also protecting the cells that produce insulin, allowing them to work more effectively, and this has certainly raised hopes that Cannabis can be developed into treatments for obesity related diseases as well as diabetes because of its ability to regulate metabolism and suppress appetite.
THCV is in reality an antagonist (inhibitor) of the CB1 and CB2 receptors, so in other words instead of stimulating these receptors THCV actually blocks them from being activated which is what makes THCV so important in the study of obesity and appetite control and metabolic regulation which it is showing signs of being able to control, as an appetite suppressant. This is exactly why you don’t often see an overweight person who consumes Cannabis.
THCV is also showing great potential to be able to lower the seizure and convulsion threshold for people suffering from epilepsy.
Some of the best loved sativa strains are known to be high in THCV for example Durban poison and many of the Haze and Cheese strains as well as their hybrids.
It has also been revealed that CBD (Cannabidiol) has an effect on the genes which affect cholesterol metabolism and also has an appetite suppressing effect.
As ii said before there is not much you can do to increase CBD levels other than to choose strains with a known high CBD content.  CBD is naturally found in higher amounts in low THC varieties such as Cannabis ruderalis and some hemp species.
 
HORMONE ABSORPTION
Studies have already shown that Cannabinoids have a regulatory effect on the Endocrine System which controls hormone release as well as homeostasis in our bodies, indicating that Cannabinoids can control the production and release of hormones.
The EC System is linked to the Endocrine system as it has been proven to play an important role in the secretion of hormones related to reproductive functions and response to stress, and therefore controls the functions of the Endocrine system.
It is no coincidence that the 7 spiritual chakras are directly aligned to the 7 Endocrine glands which they affect.
 
So the position of the EC system as being an important regulatory system in the function of brain, endocrine and immune tissues, quite literally makes the EC System a bridge between body and mind and by gaining an understanding of this system, we are beginning to see a physiological engine which can go a long way to explaining how our positive state of consciousness can promote our physical and mental health in the same way as a negative state of consciousness can destroy our health. 
Tests involving the production and release of oxytocin have given scientists hope to pursue studies of the role of Cannabinoids in hormone release in the treatment of fertility problems, mood and anxiety disorders, and metabolic processes such as thyroid function as well as symptoms of autism.
 
You are not ill ~ You are Cannabis Deficient…
Currently there is more evidence in favour of the therapeutic potential of Cannabis than there is about the most popular conventional remedies currently on the market.
Evidence now shows that Cannabis is actually an amazingly tranquil substance that in fact poses no risk of overdose and only a slight risk of addiction, alike to that of craving coffee or chocolate.
Many experts also now believe that the psychoactive properties of Cannabis are most likely to only be short lived and in fact do not pose any risk of brain damage.
So as more and more knowledge becomes available regarding the EC system and Cannabinoid science in general, researchers and scientists across the world are coming to the conclusion that many diseases may be caused by a simply deficiency of Cannabinoids.  This condition has already been labelled Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD) also known as Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome.
The production of Endocannabinoids in our bodies affect our cognition, emotion and behavior and has been scientifically linked to reduction of pain and anxiety, increase in appetite, and general feelings of well-being and so in tests carried out on rats researchers found that chronic stress in fact reduced the production of Endocannabinoids. So stress makes you Cannabinoid Deficient. By administering Cannabis to these rats it was found that symptoms of depression were alleviated. It’s the exact same with humans, if you give a depressed person a little bit of Cannabis and they will definitely start to feel better.
So is it possible that patients’ who are relieved of their symptoms by consuming Cannabis are simply supplementing a deficiency in their EC system with the Cannabinoids from Cannabis?
Is it possible that Cannabinoids can simply be accepted as supplements to promote the optimum functioning of our EC systems?
We have seen how Cannabinoid treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of disorders and health conditions also eliminating many age-related conditions like cell degradation.
We are becoming more educated from research studies being released through the emerging science of Cannabis Chemistry and Cannabis Medicine, and one thing is very clear, a fully functional EC system is essential for health, as all evidence indicates that the EC system and the Cannabis plant both have a very profound effect on the human body.
It seems strange that conventional medicine refers to Herbalism and Traditional Medicine as “alternative medicine” when in fact pharmaceuticals have only been around a little over a hundred years, and for example the Chinese have been working with Cannabis for over 5000 years, but it now seems possible that Cannabis is the future medicine straight from the past.
