As the science base expands on CBD, it becomes clear that the case is been made that we have a hugely important food based health restorative to hand.
The concentrated doses can be reserved for serious conditions while consuming foods will support prevention.
The explosion of knowledge has surely caught the naysayers completely by surprise and blocking medical applications has become absurd and actually criminal.
However, i do not think that its actual efficiency was ever truly understood in the past, so we will skip the conspiracy theories. We really forget just how small the research establishment was even sixty years ago.

The Unsuppresible Truth About Medicinal Cannabidiol (CBD)

http://www.wakingtimes.com/2016/06/17/unsuppressible-truth-about-cannabidiol-cbd/
The truth about Cannabidiol (CBD) and the cannabis plant in general can no longer be suppressed – and the exciting thing is that we are just at the beginning. We are literally just at the start on the long road of cannabis knowledge, which will take us to a deeper understanding of this astonishing plant, its varied uses and its manifold medical benefits. We still don’t even know how many cannabinoids (natural chemical compounds endemic to the cannabis plant) it contains – over the years the number has been revised in various places from 66 to 85 to 113+. We certainly don’t know the full range of effects of these cannabinoids, nor do we understand the synergistic way they work together, which is of the utmost importance. However, we do know enough to say that one of the foremost cannabinoids is cannabidiol or CBD, and we do know that it has incredible potential for healing a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, migraines, asthma, scar tissue, Crohn’s, epilepsy, seizures, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer.
Ironically, the whole propaganda campaign of “reefer madness” that
tried to demonize marijuana in the 1930s-1950s insinuated that pot
caused schizophrenia, and while THC can have some mildly negative
psychoactive effects when smoked, it may turn out that CBD-rich cannabis
oil cures schizophrenia, not causes it. This demonization campaign, as
usual, was led by the Rockefellers and other rich NWO families who were scared that cannabis would destroy their monopolies, such as the Western medical drug industry.
Clearly, the tides of cannabis perception are turning, and many
people have overcome the stigma to explore the vast nutritional and
medicinal benefits of cannabis. This article focuses on the healing
potential of the preeminent cannabinoid, CBD.
Guess Where Else Cannabinoids are Found?
Before we break down the phenomenal effects of CBD, here is a mind-blowing fact. Cannabinoids aren’t just found in the cannabis plant.
They’re also found somewhere closer to home: you! That’s right: the
human body itself has an entire system which utilizes cannabinoids. It
is known as the endocannabinoid system (“endo” is from a Greek word
meaning “within”). In this way, we can distinguish among endocannabinoids (those produced by the human body), phytocannabinoids (those produced by the cannabis plant) and synthetic cannabinoids
(the approximately 17 synthetic versions produced by the pharmaceutical
cartel). Synthetic cannabinoids, by the way, are Big Pharma’s way of
trying to pirate and cash in on Nature by modifying or isolating a
natural chemical or compound, making it slightly different to its
natural state, getting a patent, then marketing it as a drug with a
governmentally enforced monopoly.
Some synthetic cannabinoids (such as K2, spice, marinol, etc.) have been taken off the market due to their dangerous nature, but after all, they are part of the Big Pharma business plan, and the greater New World Order synthetic agenda, so what do you expect?
The Endocannabinoid System
The cannabinoid receptors (CB1, CB2, etc.), endocannabinoids and the related enzymes all make up the endocannabinoid system –
and it’s not just some insignificant little system in the body.
Evidence shows it to be essential in most if not all physiological
systems, responsible for numerous processes
including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, memory and immunity (yes, the
endocannabinoid system influences the immune system too). The Italian
researcher, Vincenzo Di Marzo, summed it up well in his 1998 studyEndocannabinoids: endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligands with neuromodulatory action:
“‘Relax, eat, sleep, forget and protect’ might be some of the messages that are produced by the actions of endocannabinoids, alone or in combination with other mediators …”
How CBD Works
CBD is a miracle compound. Unlike THC, it does not bind to the body’s
cannabinoid receptors (CB1 or CB2), so it is not psychoactive and does
not produce the high effect. Cannabidiol works through a number of
complex mechanisms. Preclinical studies indicate that cannabidiol has
the following list of extensive healing properties. The first 5 items on
the list below all pertain to cannabidiol’s capacity as an anti-carcinogenic agent:
Anti-Proliferative: CBD
stops cancer cells proliferating or reproducing. Many of its effects
listed below stem from its ability to activate PPAR receptors. As the
article How CBD Works states, “CBD
also exerts an anti-cancer effect by activating PPARs [peroxisome
proliferator activated receptors] that are situated on the surface of
the cell’s nucleus. Activation of the receptor known as PPAR-gamma has
an anti-proliferative effect as well as an ability to induce tumor
regression in human lung cancer cell lines.”
Anti-Angiogenic: As the quote above also reveals,
cannabidiol can stop cancer cells in another way, by preventing
malignant tumors from forming the blood vessels they need to grow. The
process of blood vessel creation is called angiogenesis, and since
cannabidiol halts this, it is deemed anti-angiogenic.
Anti-Mitogenic: There is a 3rd way cannabidiol
prevents cancer. It hinders or stops cell division (mitogenesis). One of
the hallmarks of cancer is its unbridled growth, and amazingly, CBD
actually stops the cancer spreading out of control by preventing the
cancer cell from dividing and reproducing, and thus is deemed
anti-mitogenic.
Anti-Metastatic: Metastasis is the process by which a
cancer can spread around the body, especially to other organs which
have no direct contact with it. Cannabidiol prevents cancer from
spreading to other organs, so it is called anti-metastatic.
Pro-Apoptotic: Apoptosis is the medical word for
programmed cell death. It’s an important part of every healthy and
functional cell that it contains a program for apoptosis, so it can
commit suicide or let itself die if it is compromised. Cancer cells
characteristically do not undergo apoptosis, however cannabidiol is
pro-apoptotic and actually induces cancer cells to die. Incredible!
Anti-Psychotic: In addition to showing impressive
potential for curing cancer, cannabidiol also exhibits anti-psychotic
properties, which means it could help heal a whole host of mental
illnesses. As the aforementioned article How CBD Works states: “CBD’s
enzyme-mediated activation of the PPAR-alpha receptor may have
antipsychotic effects. Polymorphisms or mutations in the gene encoding
PPAR-alpha can result in deficient PPAR-alpha signaling, which has been
linked to schizophrenia. PPAR-alpha activation is both anti-inflammatory
and can decrease dopamine release, thereby minimizing schizophrenic
symptoms.”
Neuro-Protective: Neurodegenerative diseases (such
as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) are another set of horrible diseases
which are claiming the lives or more and more people. Fortunately, CBD
shows potential for healing these too. Again, the issue comes back to
the PPAR-activation (same article): “PPAR-gamma
activation degrades amyloid-beta plaque, a key molecule linked to the
development of Alzheimer’s disease. This is one of the reasons why
cannabidiol, a PPAR-gamma agonist, may be a useful remedy for
Alzheimer’s patients. As an aside, PPAR receptors also regulate genes
that are involved in energy homeostasis, lipid uptake, insulin
sensitivity, and other metabolic functions. Diabetics, accordingly, may
benefit from a CBD-rich treatment regimen.”
The chemical formula for cannabidiol or CBD.
Anti-Inflammatory: Inflammatory diseases are another
massive set of diseases that haunt the populations in developed
countries, especially the US. Many nutritional experts and doctors have
highlighted the strong connection between inflammation and disease. As Dr. Mark Hyman writes:
“Inflammation is a “hot” topic in medicine. It appears connected to almost every known chronic disease — from heart disease to cancer, diabetes to obesity, autism to dementia, and even depression. Other inflammatory diseases such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune disease are increasing at dramatic rates …”
According to various studies cited by Medical Marijuana Inc, cannabidiol stops inflammation in various ways:
“[cannabidiol decreases] the production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decrease the activation of the LPS-induced STAT1 transcription factor, a key factor in some of the pro-inflammatory process. CBD, however, also reduces the activity of the NF-kappaB pathway, a primary pathway regulating pro-inflammatory genes, and upregulates the activation of the STAT3 transcription factor, which induces anti-inflammatory events (Kozela, et al., 2010).”
Analgesic: Analgesic means pain-relieving. CBD is
analgesic and is thus indicated for those suffering from inflammatory
disease or conditions with chronic pain.
Anti-Convulsant:
CBD has become famous for its ability to stop seizures and treat
diseases such as epilepsy. The overwhelming consensus of case studies,
surveys and pre-clinical animal studies shows that cannabidiol is a
powerful anti-convulsant. For a sampling of the studies done on this,
seehere and here.
Pro-Anxiolytic: Finally, CBD also helps calms the
nerves and reduce or eliminate anxiety, and thus is anti-anxiety or
medically speaking pro-anxiolytic. The reason why CBD has this effect is
probably due to its activation of the adenosine receptor. Adenosine
receptors play major roles in brain and cardiovascular function
(regulating oxygen intake and blood flow), as well as
having anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body, which ties in with
CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties.
How Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells
For those wanting a little more information on how cannabis kills
cancer cells, I recommend watching a few of these short videos. The
1st video shows how and why cannabis curse cancer. The 2nd video is an interview with a man called Dennis Hill, a survivor of stage IV prostate cancer.
Dennis reveals how our bodies make cancer cells all the time, but our
immune system (which includes the endocannabinoid system) can normally
handle them. However, when the immune system is compromised, it gets
behind on killing cancer cells.
Cancer cells have distorted or damaged DNA. Luckily, when a cell
turns cancerous, the number of cannabinoid receptors in the cell
increases. The body uses its endocannabinoid anandamide to stimulate the production of ceramide,
which kills cancer cell mitochondria, starving the cancer cell. The
ceramide is intelligently guided; it somehow “knows” to kill damaged
cells only and leave the healthy ones intact, much like the way vitamin B17, amygdala or laetrile works to selectively target cancer cells too.
The Future of CBD Oil: Made Without Solvents
Rick Simpson, the Canadian hero who made CBD-rich cannabis oil, gave
it away for free and healed many people, came up with a form of CBD oil
where he used a solvent to extract it. However, there are now many
companies who are producing high-quality CBD oil from non-GMO,
non-pesticided hemp, which they then decarboxylate (turn the acidic
forms of the cannabinoids into the non-acidic forms, i.e. turn CBDa into
CBD and THCa into THC, etc.). I believe in the future, due to the unstoppable momentum of cannabis oil, medical
marijuana will become completely decriminalized and legalized, and
people all over will have access to high therapeutic grade CBD oil which
contains no THC or psychoactive agents.
Conclusion: Let’s Explore the Many Uses of Cannabis and CBD Oil
There are no coincidences in our world – only magic, mystery,
synchronicity, conspiracy and connection of which we are often unaware.
The sheer fact that our body has its own endocannabinoid system,
parallel to the phytocannabinoid system of the cannabis plant, is a fact
of key significance and beyond mere coincidence. Call it what you want –
cannabis, hemp, marijuana, pot, weed, ganja or kush – this plant has
massive potential as a first-class healer extraordinaire. It’s time for
all of us around the world to study and use this plant for the bounty of
benefits it offers, including making paper, textiles, cloth, rope, oil
and fuel, as well as for its nutritional benefits (hemp seed, hemp seed
oil) and medical benefits (CBD oil). It has already saved people’s
lives. Imagine what else it can do.
