CBD’s potential as a treatment for cancer and cancer related symptoms is well documented. Cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to have significant analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic activity without the psychoactive effect (high) of delta-9-THC. These properties can be helpful for patients that are looking for ways to manage the symptoms related to cancer. CBD has antitumor effects as well. For...

Dietary Olive Oil May Fight Cancer Via CB1 Receptors Research has shown that adherence to the Mediterranean diet can lead to longer lives, stronger bones, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and lower risk of cancer. Generally, the diet emphasizes eating mostly plant-based foods (such as fruits, legumes, and unrefined grains), moderate protein (mostly fish and little to no red meat),...

Investigating the therapeutic potential of compounds in CBD Over the last few decades of research into the cannabis sativa plant, studies have mainly focused on the effects of the core compounds found in cannabis. These mainly include delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), but also to a lesser extent cannabigerol (CBG), delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabinol (CBN) and cannabichromene (CBC). But beyond these... ContinueMedical Cannabis and Cancer
The National Cancer Institute on Medical Cannabis The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has 11 operating divisions, including eight agencies in the U.S. Public Health Service and three human services agencies – one of which is the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH is the nation’s medical research agency which is charged with overseeing 27 institutes and... ContinueHow CBD Can Combat Oxidative Stress
How CBD Can Combat Oxidative Stress Increasingly, research has shown that cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) can play a major role in the body’s multidimensional biochemical balancing act known as homeostasis. One its most beneficial properties is the potential role in helping the body deal with oxidative stress caused by free radicals. What Are Free Radicals? Free radicals are chemical species...

ContinueHealing Without The High: The Shift Towards CBD-Rich Strains
Up until very recently, the cannabis world was all about THC. For years, the quality of cannabis for many recreational and medical users was solely dependent on the THC content of that particular strain. As you probably know, the widely shared belief was that higher concentrations equated to better quality and higher potency. In other words, the more THC, the...
