In 2005, Sativex was approved in Canada for the treatment of central  neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis, and in 2007 for intractable  cancer pain. Numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated  safety and efficacy for Sativex in central and peripheral neuropathic  pain, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer pain.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nAlso, CBD and THC have both been shown to possess  neuroprotective properties, which is why cannabis has been studied as a treatment modality for conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s  disease, Huntington’s disease and traumatic brain injury. Cannabis should help prevent neuropathy and/or slow its progression via neuroprotection and blood sugar control. \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604192/\n\nFurthermore, prolonged administration of THC, in both humans and  experimental animals, results in the lowering of both blood pressure and heart rate.

In 2013,  the results of a five-year study into the effects of cannabis on fasting  insulin and insulin resistance were published in the American Journal  of Medicine.\nThe researchers found that current users of cannabis had \n16% lower fasting insulin levels than respondents who had never used cannabis, and\n17% lower levels of insulin resistance and higher levels of HDL. \nRespondents  who had used cannabis in their lifetime but were not current users  showed similar but less pronounced associations, indicating that the  protective effect of cannabis fades with time.\nThe  researchers also ran analyses on the data that excluded individuals  diagnosed with diabetes. Even after excluding diabetics, current  cannabis users were found to exhibit reduced fasting insulin and insulin  resistance levels, indicating that cannabis can help prevent the  occurrence of diabetes as well as alleviate symptoms in diagnosed cases.\nhttps://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(13)00200-3/fulltext\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nThere have also been a few preclinical studies showing promising results, which may help explain the above results.\nhttps://www.projectcbd.org/diabetes.\n\"We now report that CBD treatment significantly reduces the incidence of  diabetes...from an incidence of 86% in non-treated-control mice to an incidence of 30% in CBD-treated mice...possibly through an immunomodulatory mechanism\"\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16698671\n\nResearches  conducting a similar study found that only 32% of CBD-treated mice in the early stages of diabetes progressed to overt diabetes, whereas 100%  of the non-CBD-treated mice did progress to overt diabetes. In other words, CBD halted the progression of pre-diabetes in 68% of the CBD  treated mice. \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17714746\n\nThere was also a very recently published randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the gold-standard of study design) which found that in humans:\n- THCV  significantly decreased fasting plasma glucose and improved pancreatic β-cell (insulin secreting cell) function\n- CBD reduced a hormone called resistin, which has been shown to increase LDL (bad cholesterol)\n-CBD increased glucose-dependent-insulinotropic peptide, which is a hormone that enhances the release of insulin following the intake of food. \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27573936\n\nFor more information on THCV:\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a8db389f24d1300077ccb5a/psychoactive-thcv-the-cannabinoid-that-kills-your-appetite\n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7404-markdown","title":"Stage IV rectal cancer needs what strain to help immune system fight fatigue and Herpes 2 oral symptoms?","slug":"stage-iv-rectal-cancer-needs-what-strain-to-help-immune-system-fight-fatigue-and-herpes-2-oral-symptoms","content":"\n_____________________\nHave you had chemotherapy? Chemotherapy kills cancer cells as well as damaging healthy cells and may account for your fatigue and if so I would encourage a cellular detoxification that also supports your liver and you likely need supportive nutrients to help your normal cells recover. One of the potentially beneficial supportive nutrients might be d-ribose. \nA topical application of THC tends to discourage herpes and regular use should reduce the breakout frequency.\nSo I would likely put you on high CBD tincture for bedtime and a high THC topical salve for your lips.\nFor pain during the day you may want anywhere from 4:1, CBD: THC vape oil to 2:1 for relief of symptoms without excessive fatigue but keep in mind everyone is a bit individual.\nPlease be aware that Sativa does have the potential to increase your pain and anxiety.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6593-markdown","title":"Has anyone tried cannabis cream for herpes virus ","slug":"has-anyone-tried-cannabis-cream-for-herpes-virus","content":"\n_____________________\nHerpes simplex is a common virus in the same family as chicken pox. Herpes virus can live in the body dormantly for a long time until a period of depressed immunity and suddenly results in an outbreak. Oral Herpes called HSV-I usually occurs above the waist while genital herpes or HSV-II usually occurs below the waist.\n\nA 2010 study conducted on humans in Germany confirmed topical cannabinoids reduced pain after a flare up of herpes. Lab tests in Florida in 2004 and Tennesse in 1980 showed THC had the ability to interfere with replication of herpes virus.\n\nBased on this evidence you could try a CBD/THC topical product. Many of these topicals don't have good testing and labelling as the the amounts of CBD and THC that is in them and even if they did, we don't have good evidence as to what percentages should be in a cream for herpes. As there is very little downside to using topicals I would suggest you go ahead and try some. Let us know if you have good results.\n\ndrbluto","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5340,"name":"Herpes","slug":"herpes","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
