What is your Endocannabinoid system (ECS) and why is it so important to your entire body and overall health?

Here are 5 interesting facts worth knowing about your ECS:

More and more research done by doctors and scientists is showing that the Endocannabinoid system (ECS) actually fine-tunes most of our vital physiological functions, bringing balance to everything (your whole body) from sleep, appetite, pain, inflammation, memory, mood and even reproduction. Basically, it helps to control all or most of the systems, functions and processes in your body, with the end result a perfectly harmonized symphony between body and mind.

With each new day more health and medical experts are paying attention to your ECS and recommending CBD or adding cannabinoids to your diet for many reasons. Most experts agree it is vital that patients/people start paying more attention to the ECS as it is believed to be the most important system in your entire body.

1. Did you know humans are not the only animals or creatures who have an Endocannabinoid system ECS.
As human beings we’re not special for having an ECS. Not only is the endocannabinoid system found in all vertebrates, but scientists also discovered cannabinoid receptors in non-vertebrate sea-squirts, suggesting an evolutionary process dating back 600 million years ago.

2. Did you know that CB1 receptors are the most abundant neurotransmitter receptors in your brain?
Most of us have heard of neurotransmitters – they’re the chemicals that communicate information throughout the brain and body. Serotonin and dopamine are perhaps the most well known examples, but it’s the Endocannabinoid Anandamide, also classed as a neurotransmitter, that actually has the most receptors in your brain.

3. Increased ECS activity has been noted in many diseases
Scientists and doctors are seeing high levels of elevated ECS activity in a number of different kinds of illnesses but considerably more so in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons, but ranging to even things like rheumatoid arthritis and cancer and many other diseases. Data is certainly showing changes (mostly increases) in endocannabinoid levels and greater receptor expression (activity in receptors). This is no surprise as we learn how many different influences it can have throughout the body.

The conclusion that has been most widely reached is that this increased activity proves the ECS trying to fulfill its role of returning the body to equilibrium again, or what some people think of as homeostasis.

4. Experts think that ‘Endocannabinoid System Deficiency’ may be a major cause of some illnesses!
So, what happens if the ECS becomes depleted? This is the new common concern with many people. Scientists have observed how in certain conditions associated with oversensitivity to pain such as migraines, fibromyalgia and IBS, a person’s ECS appears to have become weakened. The theory is known as Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency, with the corollary being that by supplementing the body with compounds from the cannabis plant, this deficiency can be corrected and the symptoms improved.

The proof is in the pudding. Many patients have reported improvements with increasing CBD intake with the best results coming from people with Epilepsy, Cancer and pain related health problems.

5. Your ECS explains why medicinal cannabis has a therapeutic effect on your body and all the important systems, processes and function.
Prior to 20th century prohibition, cannabis had been used for thousands of years to treat a whole host of ailments from epilepsy, headaches, arthritis, pain, depression and nausea. Back then nobody knew why the plant showed such therapeutic versatility. The discovery of the endocannabinoid system has recently shed new light onto not only all the medicinal benefits but also the reason why it is so valuable.

According to Dustin Sulak, a leading medical cannabis expert:

“Research has shown that small doses of cannabinoids from cannabis can signal the body to make more endocannabinoids and build more cannabinoid receptors… I believe that small, regular doses of cannabis might act as a tonic to our most central physiologic healing system.”

Women say that CBD does help with PMS?

There are a number of symptoms that women face during this time. More and more women are saying that CBD can help. These symptoms usually vary for each different woman in general as well as in severity. If you get one or more of the following symptoms you should consider trying CBD as a natural healing agent.

• Abdominal bloating
• Mood Swings
• Irritability
• Tenderness of breasts
• Abdominal cramps
• Skin related issues such as breakouts
• Headaches
• Changes in Bowel
• Sleep Problems
• Back pain and body ache

How does CBD really work for PMS & Pain?

More and more women are reporting that they are having great results with CBD for treating painful periods. It is known in the medical and science communities to help people with things like:

• Inflammation:
certain prostaglandins trigger an inflammatory response, which leads to more pain and cell death.

• Pain sensitization:
prostaglandins and other inflammatory compounds can actually prime pain-perceiving nerves to become more sensitive.

• Vasoconstriction:
the prostaglandins rampant during menstruation cause blood vessels to constrict and suffocate endometrial tissue.

• Uterine contractions:
PGF2⍺ tells the uterus’ smooth muscle to contract. This contraction chokes off blood supply to the endometrium — like a heart attack in your uterus. Women with higher prostaglandin levels also have stronger, more painful contractions and doctors are finally acknowledging that this pain can be as intense as heart attack pain.

• Heavy bleeding: Unusually heavy periods could result from excessive inflammation, which increases tissue damage. Women with heavy bleeding have higher levels of the enzyme the produces prostaglandins (COX-2), and medications to combat this process can decrease menstruation.

First, you should know the actual causes of pain & discomfort during your period as well as how additional natural remedies can help combat these symptoms.

Your Uterus: Prepping for a Visit
In people who have periods, the uterus diligently prepares itself all month. First, your body’s increasing estrogen told your uterus to build up its endometrial tissue. Then, after you ovulated, and the boost of progesterone helped plump up that tissue with arteries and blood and all sorts of packaged goodies — prepping to give a warm welcome to an incoming embryo … or to set off a self-destructing time bomb.

Goodbye, Progesterone
Once your body discovers it won’t be hosting a guest, your progesterone levels decline — telling your uterus to roll up the welcome mat.

Your body takes back what it can from the endometrium, shrinking the tissue and strangling its spiral-shaped arteries. Without a proper blood supply, your endometrial tissue begins to suffocate and die, and you likely begin experiencing pangs of pain.

Without progesterone, the endometrium loses its protection from the pre-packaged time bombs: vesicles carrying tissue-dissolving enzymes. These vesicles begin to weaken, and once they’re unwrapped, they create a domino effect — killing neighboring cells and spilling open more vesicles in a chain-reaction that ruptures pools of blood caught in venous lakes. Dead tissue sloughs off, creating a field day for inflammation...

Prostaglandins: Inflaming the Uterus

While your progesterone was declining, nasty inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins were increasing. Prostaglandins (particularly one called PGF2⍺) will peak during menstruation, unleashing all of the painful, frustrating and annoying effects.

Does Cannabidiol (CBD) work with Melatonin to help you get better quality sleep?

If you or someone you love suffers from any kind of sleep problems you know how frustrating it can be. You have probably heard of Melatonin and it has proven to help some people get better quality sleep.

CBD is also a medically tested and proven sleep aid. New studies show when you add it together with Melatonin they can offer amazing benefits as a powerful sleep aid that helps even people the worse cases of insomnia.

Many experts believe that these two supplements work together to offer tremendous benefits, specifically in the brain and with sleep conditions, because they are extremely bioavailable because they are already naturally produced in your brain. Both CBD and Melatonin are already utilized in your naturally in your body.

For people with Epilepsy like myself, and other neurological issues that make it hard to get enough sleep for your brain to function, using CBD and Melatonin together can be a lifesaver. Simply put, if your brain does not get proper rest you cannot function at maximum level. Experts also say that people who to not get enough good quality sleep are much more likely to develop neurological or cognitive problems than people who do get good quality sleep.

Melatonin and CBD working together for you can help get the rest your brain needs and allow it to rebalance and restore the body to its natural rhythm with gentle, plant-based power.

* How Does Melatonin Work?

Melatonin is a type of hormone, the main hormone the pineal gland produces and secretes. Melatonin is a key factor in regulating the body’s circadian rhythm: the wake-sleep, light-dark cycle to which we should inherently attune. Wake up and feel energized when the sun comes out; feel tired and sleep as the sun sets and it grows dark. How this works is that Melatonin levels rise steadily in the evening, around 9 p.m., and stay high until dawn, when they decrease until about 9 a.m. Melatonin levels in the body are almost non-existent during the daylight hours, and other stimulating hormones like cortisol take over. This is why introducing a Melatonin supplement can help with insomnia, especially in cases of restless sleep, staying asleep, and jet lag. Raising Melatonin levels and keeping them high should down-regulate stimulating hormones and ease the body into an appropriately long and restful sleep. Taking a Melatonin supplement a few hours before bedtime when traveling should alleviate jet lag in the same way.

* How CBD Regulates the Body

CBD, while not a hormone, is a unique non-psychoactive extract of the h**p/cannabis plant---also known as a phytocannabinoid. Every mammal, humans included, has an Endogenous Cannabinoid System (ECS) in the body and produces endogenous cannabinoids. What does the ECS do? Basically, it fine-tunes (or optimizes) and holds all of the other body systems. Sometimes called the ‘system of homeostasis’ or ‘the system for safety and well-being’, the ECS regulates: the digestive and nervous systems, the brain and neuroplasticity, the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythm, the protection and setting of cardiovascular tone, and body-wide inflammatory processes---among many other things. So, when the phytocannabinoids of CBD are consumed, they are accepted by the ECS as endogenous cannabinoids, which then optimize these other systems. Sometimes, insomnia can be due to a deficient ECS, and this is when CBD supplementation is paramount. In other cases, CBD is helpful in calming racing thoughts, anxiety, and overall tension in the body that can lead to trouble falling asleep.

New Article: CANNABIS, ANTIPSYCHOTICS, AND LIVER HEALTH.
The protective effect of cannabinoids for those living with Type 2 diabetes and obesity is particularly pronounced among people with schizophrenia. Why?

Some recent highlights and curiosities from the amazing world of cannabis science and therapeutics. By - ADRIAN DEVITT-LEE ON SEPTEMBER 09, 2019

Accumulating evidence from preclinical trials indicates that endocannabinoids modulate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related metabolic disorders. Population surveys actually associate chronic cannabis use with better outcomes in Type 2 diabetes and obesity. And this protective effect is particularly pronounced among people with schizophrenia. Why?

Antipsychotic drugs stress certain systems in the body, leading to side effects like weight gain and gut dysbiosis, perhaps due to their disruptive effects on the endocannabinoid system. A three-year long study by Spanish researcher has recently replicated these findings of the protective effects of cannabis in patients taking antipsychotics.

Published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, the report noted that after three years cannabis users had significantly better outcomes with respect to liver health. In fact, NAFLD tended to get worse in all participants except the ones who used cannabis throughout the study. Cannabis use seemed particularly protective against steatosis, the abnormal accumulation of lipids in the liver.

The authors propose that cannabis is specifically effective at countering antipsychotic-induced weight gain, noting that previous research has demonstrated that antipsychotics alter the expression of the CB1receptor. On a more technical level, the Spanish scientists highlight a decrease in circulating leptin among cannabis users (a hormone that regulates body weight) among cannabis users. Antipsychotics cause fat cells to produce more leptin and antipsychotics also promote weight gain by desensitizing a person to leptin.

More info about CBD from Dr. David Allen...
Should Emergency Situations (Heart Attack Or Stroke) Start With Consuming Cannabis?

Dr. Allen offered no hesitation when he provides doctors orders for emergency situations. If you are having symptoms of a stroke or heart attack, Dr. Allen personally recommends cannabis. By consuming cannabis, preferably high in CBD, you can potentially save your life.

Dr. Allen says the cannabis patent the US government owns, 6630507, claims cannabis decreases the size of a stroke by 50 percent. What’s remarkable about this is there are NO OTHER chemicals that can even decrease a stroke by 2 percent.

Cannabinoids promote neurogenesis (creation of new brain cells) and Dr. Allen says if any of his family ever had a stroke, he would get as much CBD in them as he could. At least one gram.

If you are at high risk for stroke, there’s ample evidence CBD can prevent a stroke from occurring.

CBD Oil for Depression – How does it work & what are the benefits?

Most people seem to immediately connect CBD with THC in their head. But, while they come from the same plants, they are tremendously different and offer very different benefits. Simply put, CBD does not get you high and is needed by your body for dozens if not more reasons, including some of the most very important systems and processes throughout your body, with many of them starting in your brain.

CBD oil actually interacts with your CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the brain and central nervous system. Doing so in a way that helps the body rebalance and reach a state of homeostasis. If you’re suffering from depression, CBD oil may be able to bring some stability to your mood, anxiety, and sleep patterns.

*** So what are the Real Benefits of using CBD Oil for Depression? ***

This gets a little bit complicated so we will try to keep it simple. Traditionally prescribed antidepressant medications are something of a mystery because depression itself is still an enigma. The exact causes of depression are still being studied, and it’s a condition that seems to get more complex the more it’s examined. Obviously everyone has different experiences but studies are starting to learn more and more about the actions & reactions in the brain regarding depression.

Chemical, or neurotransmitter, imbalances in the brain are thought to be a main contributing factor to depression. Most antidepressant medications work to increase the presence of certain neurotransmitters, which impact your mood and emotion. This is much like serotonin and norepinephrine, by blocking the reuptake of these chemicals.

Common types of antidepressants include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). You may have heard of Zoloft, Prozac, and Lexapro, all popular SSRIs, or Cymbalta and Pristiq, which are common SNRIs.

While SSRIs and SNRIs can temporarily relieve the symptoms of depression, they can’t cure the condition itself. These types of medications can also have side effects like:
• Nausea.
• Insomnia.
• Headaches.
• Dry mouth.
• Dizziness.
• Reduced sexual desire or sexual dysfunction.

For some people (mostly under the age of 25) antidepressant medicines can even bring on suicidal thoughts and tendencies, usually when they are first taken or when the dosage is changed. So, if you decide to stop taking your meds like SSRIs and SNRIs, you may likely experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

CBD oil, on the other hand, is largely free of side effects and can produce many of the same positive results as SSRIs and SNRIs but in a more natural and gentle way.

*** How to Use CBD Oil For Depression ***

If you find your typical treatments are not working, it might be time to consider CBD oil for depression. Be sure to speak with your doctor, psychologist, and/or psychiatrist before making any changes. CBD oil can interact with some common medications, including antidepressants. Generally, your body likes and welcomes CBD and tries to distribute ASAP, while not so much with traditional medicines. Most medicines are "identified" by your body as a toxic substance, and the first bodily response will be to get rid of it, similar to how it would react if you drank poison.

If you are reading this then chances are that you probably already know the most effective treatment plans for depression, do consist of several complementary parts. CBD oil could be supplementary to other methods you may already be using to tackle depression like therapy and exercise.

Always talk to your doctor first! Doctors are suggesting and or prescribing CBD for so many reasons today compared to 5 years ago. This is only going to increase as more research is being done, better results are being proven, and much because the stigma surrounding medical cannabis and cannabis extracts is rapidly fading.

When you have the go-ahead from your doctor to try CBD oil for depression, you’ll need to decide how you want to consume it. There are a number of different options including CBD oil drops, tinctures, edibles, capsules, and v**es. Most importantly is to select a CBD that is clean and safe. Unfortunately, MOST of the CBD you see on the shelves is not clean, as there is no FDA approval yet. Basically, you just never know what is in that bottle, unless you deal with a company you trust.

What is your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and what does it do?

By now most people have heard of the Endocannabinoid System, but don't really know what it does? Let’s start by explaining what your ECS is, and then go into detail about how many important things it does for the human body.

A simple way to think of your ECS is like a network of chemical communication transmissions: a system of messengers and specially built receivers. The ECS produces neurotransmitters in response to internal or external stressors. These tiny messengers travel through the body, going where needed.

For example, our bodies produce anandamide as a way to combat anxiety and depression. We also produce a compound called oxytocin, released during childbirth, or**sm, and sexual activity. Oxytocin triggers feelings of empathy, closeness, and generosity. Your body produces many more endocannabinoids as well.

** WHAT DOES YOUR ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM (ECS) DO? **

The primary function is maintaining a constant and stable internal environment for your entire body, otherwise known as "homeostasis". If the body is subjected to an invading pathogen, a period of depression, or tissue damage, the ECS kicks into overdrive in an effort to correct the problem.

When functioning properly the ECS is responsible for a laundry list of basic bodily functions, here are just some of the most important ones:
• Pain sensation
• Memory
• Metabolism
• Sleep
• Mood
• Temperature
• Inflammatory response
• Proper digestion
• Immune function

The naturally produced neurotransmitters are called endocannabinoids, but there are also plant-based cannabinoids called phytocannabinoids, which integrate perfectly into the ECS. For example, after consuming cannabis, the phytocannabinoids quickly go to work throughout the ECS, interacting with two of the primary CBD receptors: CB1 and CB2.

These receptors found throughout our bodies are highly concentrated in a few specific areas. We have high concentrations of the CB1 receptor in our brains, organs, glands, and central nervous system, while the CB2 receptor tends to be found in the immune system and the peripheral nervous system.

Do you take CBD yet? If so, do you know if your CBD is organic & safe?

** Dangerous Chemicals Found In Popular CBD Products **

This is why it is very important to choose your CBD from a company that can be trusted and has a good reputation. Make sure it is triple lab tested by a reputable lab, and make sure these test results are made public. Without FDA approval yet, companies can put anything inside their bottles and don’t have to list the ingredients on the label.

Every day new studies are finding more and more toxic ingredients/chemicals inside many of the most popular CBD products. One recent study detected synthetic ma*****na and also an OTC cough drug inside CBD v**e liquid tanks.

It is not just the v**e liquids you should worry about. Now companies are using CBD inside many products including: beverages, beauty products, vitamin-supplements, pet food/treats, and even everyday foods.

Several products from a leading brand of CBD va**ng liquids contain a chemical that’s been linked to emergency room admissions and even death, according to a study published this month in Forensic Science International.

Additionally, researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University found that the products, all from Diamond CBD, a publicly traded company, contained a compound called 5F-ADB. That compound, often found in illegal synthetic ma*****na products such as “K2” and “Spice,” can trigger paranoia and panic attacks, increase heart rate and blood pressure, and cause convulsions, organ damage, and even death, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency.

One of the tested products also contained dextromethorphan, a cough drug ingredient that is sometimes abused by teens looking for a high.

“The findings raise questions about the rules and regulations around the burgeoning CBD market”, says Michelle Peace, Ph.D., co-author of the study and an associate professor of forensic sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University. She points out that numerous products with CBD are now being sold directly to consumers, often with claims about their potential health benefits.
The products that Peace and her colleagues tested contained CBD derived from h**p. (CBD can also come from ma*****na plants.)

“The industry is currently self-policing,” she says, noting that her limited testing focused on just a few products from one company. “How many others are there? Without federal regulations guiding the oversight and protections of the general public, there is going to be opportunity for abuse that is really going to put public health and public safety at risk.”

** What The Study Found **

Virginia Commonwealth researchers decided to focus on Diamond CBD products, they said, because a user had alerted them to unexpected side effects from them, including feeling high. To investigate, the researchers ordered seven different products from Diamond CBD’s website, which advertised the CBD v**e oils as having “100% natural CBD extracts.”

Three of the products contained 5F-ADB: Liquid Gold Strawberry, Liquid Gold Jungle Juice, and Diamond CBD V**e Additive.

The DEA notes that 5F-ADB was developed by underground chemists to mimic the biological effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in ma*****na. The DEA has classified 5F-ADB as a Schedule I drug, meaning it’s illegal, potentially addictive, and has no currently accepted medical use. (THC carries the same classification.)

The Diamond CBD V**e Additive sample the researchers tested also contained dextromethorphan, or DXM, an ingredient in cough medicines sold over the counter in drugstores.

"When taken in high doses, DXM can cause an abnormal heartbeat and sedation, as well as hallucinations and a sense of euphoria", says Ryan Vandrey, Ph.D., an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research but who has studied the purity of CBD and other cannabis products.

Peace acknowledges that the study was limited in scope, looking at only a few products. Still, she says, the findings were surprising and should raise a red flag. “Anybody involved in public health or public safety needs to be aware of the risks of prescribing substances that have no federal oversight and protections,” she says.

***

In conclusion, I ONLY get my CBD from 1 company that I know is safe. It is also the only company listed on the PDR and approved by the H**p Authority.
