Cannabis has become a magic term and concept for our health, propagandized primarily by those to make money with. Fortunately, nature got her own support for our health. Cannabinoids produced in our brain being just one example. Read on to learn more about. Scientifically validated. THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND As you have learned latest from our previous blogs and other publications, our planet the Earth has been created perfectly as a complex biologic-ecologic system based on natural laws. This pertains also for the existence of any living species on this globe – plants, animals and mankind – alike. With reference to the fact, that we find any support for our health in our own body and in nature surrounding us. One of these natural supporters is marijuana – botanical name for the dried leaves of the cannabis plant – considered a wonder drug by many to, inter alia, relieve pain seemingly the ‘natural’ way. However, this herb comes with dramatic neurodegenerative effects. I.e., there is substantial evidence that marijuana/cannabis increases the risk of schizophrenia other psychoses. Accompanied by moderate evidence of suicidal thoughts, and risk of depression. Confirmed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Leaves us with the question if nature offers us naturals with same benefits for our health but without these dramatic side effects. NATURE’S ANSWER - SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED In fact, also our body produces so called endocannabinoids with a positive outcome for, inter alia, pain, stress and our memory – but without marijuana’s neurodegenerative effects. Only recently, scientists at Leiden University, one of leading international research universities, based in Leiden, The Netherlands, re-identified in collaboration with the U.S. National Institute of Health, that anandamide – a type of cannabinoid - is produced in our brain. ‘Re-identification’ in this case means that anandamide (derived from the Sanskrit word ‘ananda’ – meaning happiness) was first identified a century ago (1922). As a result of this research in Leiden, the cannabinoid anandamide, as produced in the brain of our body naturally, helps reducing anxiety and stress on one side, and stimulating the power of memory on the other. Without synthetic side effects! Even more, according to the researchers in Leiden, this endogenous cannabinoid may even help to forget traumatic memories, thus helping veterans with their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Avoiding synthetics, regardless if legalized or non-legalized in your State. IN A NUTSHELL Cannabis has become a magic term and concept for our health, propagandized primarily by those to make money with. Fortunately, nature got its own support for our health. Cannabinoids produced in our brain being just one example. Scientifically validated. Honor nature – it’s also your nature. HAVE AN UNSOLVED HEALTH PROBLEM? |
