ONE PLANT ~
ONE PATIENT
The basic
principle of Whole Plant Healing
Truly we are about to enter into one of the most revolutionary periods
in medical history. We will witness all
kinds of behavior changes and we will see how big corporations run by educated
adults will try to control a plant by denying people access to it except via
the pharmaceutical industry and believe me brothers and sisters, you can look
forward to strict and rigid control methods and exorbitant price tags.
These same people will now decide who is ill enough to receive this
medicine and they will even produce ‘lists’ of recommended conditions which
will then limit doctors in prescriptions, and you might even look at this and
wonder how it is that these people have the power to dictate our health care to
us when we now all know very well that we in fact have a fully developed Endocannabinoid System (EC System) in
our bodies, which has always been there by the way.
And so we have come to realize that Phyto-Cannabinoids (meaning plant
derived Cannabinoids) are now essential for our health in the same way as the
immune system needs vitamins. We should be consuming Phyto-Cannabinoids on a
regular basis through the principle of “Miniscule Dosing” instead of waiting
until we are ill and only using Cannabis as a last resort for chronic and acute
conditions and expecting miracles.
So truly Cannabis has now evolved from a “dangerous
drug” to a life-saving medicine to a vital vegetable filled with life giving nutrients
making Cannabis the most important vegetable on the planet…
Fortunately consciousness is changing …and rapidly at that…and as the
Cannabis plant waits humbly and patiently for due justice we can see this
consciousness is getting stronger and stronger and eventually this plant will
be free so it can continue in blessed love with its intended purpose to heal
the nations.
Through my underground network ii
have heard horrific stories of what ‘the system’ and the people who control
this system plan to do with this plant but just like our beloved bees it seems
set that they would rather simply wipe our beloved Cannabis plant out than give
it back to Mother Nature.
Tales of developing synthetic medicines and foods designed to block our
natural Endocannabinoid production to spraying of plants with killer toxins
which we have already witnessed in rural Eastern Cape where many of my Xhosa
relatives depend on this plant for survival.
What is the
“Entourage Effect”?
Personally ii have been working with this plant for over 35 years and from my side all ii can say is that the Cannabis Plant speaks to
me and ii have developed a personal relationship with this plant and ii can
also say that ii am personally and lovingly in debt to the Cannabis plant for
making it possible for me to be cancer free for 20 years Give thanks and
Praise! So for me personally the consciousness of this plant is love and life
and for millions of other people around the world. So you could say that this
plant is all about LOVE…
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 113 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 and other Phyto-Cannabinoids.
So the basic idea of the “Entourage Effect” is that
Phyto-Cannabinoids within the Cannabis plant work together and possess a sound
synergy which affects the body in a mechanism which mimics the body’s own
Endocannabinoid System. Time and again it has been proven over and over that
whole herbal extract produces better results than isolated Cannabinoids…every
time.
The reason for this is simply put because whole-plant Cannabis extracts
have non-cannabinoid chemical constituents which also have healing properties
and all of the chemical constituents found in the plant need to be present for
the medicine to be effective.
Another amazing aspect of using whole herbal Cannabis to produce
medicine is that this naturally occurring phenomena of the ‘Entourage Effect’
actually allows certain Phyto-Cannabinoids to curb the ‘negative’ effects of
other Phyto-Cannabinoids. A good example
of this is the ability of CBD to lessen the perceived ‘negative’ effects of THC
in other words CBD makes the THC ‘high’ less of a psychedelic experience and
this is why strains like “Charlotte’s Web” are effective as CBD high oil will
naturally not produce a THC high. This
is how the plant works in nature…naturally.
So every single Phyto-Cannabinoid, terpenoid, amino acid and other
chemical compounds present in Cannabis is required to achieve the perceived
effect.
Personally ii believe that an entire plant is required to produce the
perfect medication for a specific patient because ii have come to learn that
each part of one plant in fact has different chemical ratios in relation to the
THC content of the particular plant and that all of these parts of the plant
with its different chemical make-ups is required to achieve the full “Entourage
Effect”.
This is because the chemical profile of each plant is as unique as a
human finger print. The truth is that no two plants are the same and no two
parts of the same plant are the same and we can go further and confirm that
even clones from one plant will present with its own unique set of chemical compounds
which then interact with each other within a particular plant. This is the
beauty of the “Entourage Effect” which convinces me that each patient should be
afforded the true benefit of whole herbal Cannabis medicine and the only true
way to achieve this is to produce the medicine for one patient from one plant...roots and all!
The quest for non-psychoactive Cannabis medicine continues…
Scientists and researchers are frantically working to
produce the perfect synthetic cannabinoid medication minus the psychoactive
components. In Cannabis culture we
believe that to this day no one has been able to replicate the purity and
potency of whole herbal Cannabis and it seems clearer by the day that Cannabinoids
simply do not work the same when isolated from each other and are in fact less
effective.
At the time of writing this paper ii received a fresh
press release dated 8 December 2016 which announces Plandai Biotechnology’s
intention to enter the South African market to produce Cannabis medicine.
This is such nonsense because it is a well- known fact
that this corporation has been illegally releasing their products in our
country for a number of years already and further that they have been actively
growing in our country for some time already.
“The Company's 2014 Cannabis initiative was focused on the possible
development of a cannabis extract utilizing its Phytofare® technology with the
objective to design a non-psychoactive, full profile Cannabis complex of all
113 known cannabinoids.
The Company's unique extraction process should prohibit the metabolizing
of non-psychoactive acid-form cannabinoids (THC-A and THCB), resulting in an
extract that could deliver all the potential medical benefits from a full
cannabinoid complex without being psychoactive.”
Truly ii do not believe that a zero THC product could
exist since this would not occur 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 only person on this planet who ii would open professional
dialogue with on the topic of Cannabinoid isolation would be Professor Raphael
Mechoulam because he is the only human worthy of discussing this matter, in my
professional medical opinion. He has been working with this plant since before
1964 and is therefore the only person ii know of who has more experience in
working with the healing properties of Cannabis and this is why ii pay
particularly close attention to his studies and indeed as he often says, we all
wish that he had another 88 years to complete his life work in this field of
study.
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.
In 1902 Thomas Edison said,
"There were never so many able, active minds at
work on the problems of disease as now, and all their discoveries are tending
toward the simple truth that you can't improve on nature."
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 over 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. We 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.
Despite all this solid proof still this medicine remains
illegal in most parts and strictly controlled in places where laws have been
relaxed. We have seen 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.
It is also very
important to be aware that the chemical profile of Cannabis has changed
drastically over the past 30 years.
It is true that these days modern Cannabis contains more than double the
amount of THC as it did back in the flower power 1960’s and as a result of this
these modern strains tend to contain far less of the neuro-protective
Cannabinoid discussed below CBD. This
again supports the truth that strains which are lower in THC will naturally be
higher in CBD and vice versa. This is how it works in nature.
So it is a reality that growers who
selectively breed high THC strains are also selecting against the gene that
produces CBD, which means that in the pursuit to produce stronger Cannabis some growers may actually end
up out breeding a chemical which is responsible for the wellbeing of mental and
physical health. This is exactly why ii 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.
If Cannabis has something to tell us, what’s it
saying?
Consciousness
gives this plant its potency and purity and this is exactly why some of us are
developing the idea of ‘whole plant’ dosing being the thought that the plant
material from a single plant be used to produce a specific batch of healing
medicine for a specific patient.
This is why
ii produce my medicine (The Cannabis Coconut Connection) in a 1 liter per
patient which is an approximately 3 month supply depending on individual
treatment programs. Each patient receives medicine made from one plant and back
in the day when ii had my Cannabis gardens my patients used to come into the
garden and we would select specific plants for specific patients and then
produce this individual batch of medicine from the selected plant. This is the
most natural way of producing effective Whole Herbal Cannabis Medicine.
Cannabis has
earned the right to be respected, loved, adored, praised, and certainly the
plant deserves to be explored in its entirety and it deserves to not be
exploited but rather protected from the very people who are trying to keep it
away from the nations.
If we treat
this plant with love we will instinctively know that positive benefits and
outcomes are guaranteed for the entire universe physically, mentally,
economically, medicinally and spiritually.
This sacred and life giving plant wants us to know that it has a consciousness which we are quite able to communicate with and tap into if we can just open our minds. People need to recognize that we have evolved with this plant practically since the beginning of time and the Cannabis plant has quite literally followed mankind across the Earth from Central Asia since after the last ice age.
If you look around the world today you can clearly see that almost daily
we are being surprised, delighted, amazed and indeed healed by the miraculous
properties hidden inside this once globally forbidden plant. Cannabis is tired
of being persecuted and our beloved herb is now more than ever before ready to
step out into the light and shine in her full natural herbal glory.
Be Blessed Be
Healthy
