They can cause persistent cramping, diarrhea, obstruction, and rectal bleeding.\n\nPatients suffering from Crohn's disease, or from any type of irritable bowel disease, have a higher level of cannabinoid receptors in their gastrointestinal tract. The cannabinoids found in cannabis can help to reduce the inflammation caused by these conditions. In 2013, the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that 10 of 11 patients in the cannabis group of a study had a significant reduction in their symptoms and 5 had complete remission with the use of cannabis.\n\nOur body has its own cannabinoid system referred to as the endocannabinoid system and we have cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, in the digestive system. The cannabinoid system has been shown to be involved in regulating the immune system through its immunomodulatory properties. Cannabinoids suppress inflammatory response and reduce disease symptoms. This happens through multiple, complicated biochemical pathways.\n\nA mouse study in Naples, 2008, showed that when CB1 receptors are activated, they can decrease intestinal movement and the secretion of intestinal fluids. CB2 receptor stimulation can lead to an increase in T-cell, white blood cells, and other body cells that mediate inflammation. There is also evidence that THC may be helpful in reducing the leakage of fluids through the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.\n\nDue to stomach sensitivities in patients with Crohn’s, vaporization or smoking has seemed to be the best delivery method for medical cannabis. Edible forms, however, allow for the cannabis to directly sooth the gastrointestinal tract. \n\nWhile there is no medical evidence for specific strains, dosages, etc, and while I would recommend using CBD oil as an adjunct to current therapies, I have had good results for patients using CBD Oils in a 2:1 ratio three times per day with the addition of some THC pills in extracted form in capsules for flares and to stimulate appetite and sleep. \n\nTypical starting doses of CBD for most conditions are 2.5-5mg/day.\n\ndrbluto","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11506-markdown","title":"Regarding an article from August on pain relief from FECO.

There's actually a lot of options and choices depending on the symptoms that are most effecting you. \n\nInflammation is a huge component of CFS so we would recommend considering either CBD-rich medications and/or THCa to reduce the inflammation associated with this ailment, especially if you are trying to avoid psychoactivity. Regular (3x/day) micro dosing would be especially valuable to reduce inflammation as you'd want to keep metabolizing the medication over a longer span to see the best efficacy. \n\nIf pain is a large component for you, we'd also recommend an even balance of CBD and THC to provide some relief. If you find yourself dealing with psychological problems associated with CFS, which is common, we'd suggest again using a CBD-rich medication to help with both mental health needs as well as inflammation. \n\nWe hope this information is helpful and we are happy to follow up if you'd like further information.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11396-markdown","title":"What does the amount of THC in a topical indicate?","slug":"what-does-the-amount-of-thc-in-a-topical-indicate","content":"\"Is this kind of like regular or extra-strength in the OTC market (pharmacy)?\"\n_____________________\nTopical preparations of cannabis vary widely and utilize different strains of cannabis as well as different extraction techniques.

Foria Pleasure is designed to be used topically on the clitoris, vulva and inside vagina for enhanced sexual pleasure.   Although Foria contains activated THC and absorbs into your body, when used vaginally, most people do not experience a psychoactive high (as is mostly the case with oral use of THC).   Foria Pleasure does not contain CBD.   Foria Pleasure is made with liquid coconut oil that is also very good for female hygiene - pH Balancing or and anti microbial.  \n\n2.   Foria Pleasure is made with non strain specific THC as we have discovered the specific strain makes little or no difference when used this way. \n\n3.

CBD cannabis is cleared through the cytochrome P450 pathway but 85% of anastrozole is eliminated through liver metabolism of the drug and 10% is cleared through the kidneys. \nCBD cannabis can interfere with some blood clotting mechanisms so it might be best to wait until the postoperative time period to start treatment\nThere are so many questions here that we're neither asked nor answered.....\n\nDid your mother receive a second opinion from a completely independent group?\n\nHas she read the book, \"Sex, Lies & Menopause\"? The Wiley Protocol could potentially save her life.\n\nIs she aware of her blood level of vitamin D? Half of all breast-cancer cases are due to vitamin D deficiency. If her blood level of vitamin D remains below 50 ng/ml she may be 93% more likely to experience metastatic disease and if the vitamin D level is still not corrected she is 73% more likely to succumb to breast cancer because of vitamin D deficiency.\n\nHas she been informed that she must stop drinking alcohol because it is a poison to her?\n\nHer insurance probably paid for her to have a BRCA1 and the BRCA2 but those are only two out of at least 17 markers for breast cancer in genetics.\n\nYou did not mention her stage of cancer but that is critically important because if she has DCIS she may experience a better outcome without surgery.\n\nPeople are often embarrassed to cancel surgery or postpone a surgery but if she does not have all the information she maybe making a premature decision. People cancel or postpone surgeries all the time so rest assured that a postponed surgery with more information in order to make a wise decision\nwould likely result in a better outcome.\n\nGood luck, this is a tough situation and Anastrozole has not had the best track record so you really may want to explore more options. High-dose CBD is definitely in order to hopefully buy more time to give a fully informed consent for treatment.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10743-markdown","title":"What kind of topical or product should I use for my condition?","slug":"what-kind-of-topical-or-product-should-i-use-for-my-condition","content":"\"I have an autoimmune disease called eosinophillic fasciitis.

Can marijuana help with this?","slug":"i-suffer-from-really-bad-cramps-and-pms-can-marijuana-help-with-this","content":"\"I've tried different types of birth control, advil, etc. and nothing really helps. If marijuana can help, what kind of strain or product should I use?\"\n_____________________\nTerrific questions that we hear a lot, and are really 2 questions.\n\nAs for the cramps, the monthly pain the women experience with their period is one that differs with each woman. Some just need to take a over the counter medication  and some need to have their physician prescribe opioids to help the pain. Cannabis has been used for many years to help with this type of pain. In the late 1800's Queen  Victoria was prescribed cannabis by her team of physicians to help with her pain.\n\nWomen have been using cannabis in many forms by smoking, vaping, tinctures etc. However since menstrual pain occurs all day long a longer acting and more direct acting solution seems to make sense. A company that we have heard about, Foria, developed a vaginal suppository that contains both THC and CBD for both pain and anti-inflammatory relief.  The feedback from many of our patients is that it seems to work very well within 20-30 minutes after use without any, or very minimal,  psychoactive side effects.\n\nWhat I think is remarkable about this product, is that it is one of the very few products that was tailored to treat a very specific medical condition. I think that in the future there will be more and more targeted products for different medical conditions, but right now Foria seems to be the first.\n\nConcerning the PMS, that condition can have widely varying symptoms  including physical, behavioral and mental/emotional. Physical symptoms can include headaches, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, night sweats, altered sex drive, insomnia, sleeping too much, lowered coordination, fatigue and pain -- similar to period cramps. Mental symptoms can include depression, anxiety, confusion and negative thoughts/feelings. Behavioral symptoms can include mood swings and fits of hostility or anger. The severity of these symptoms can differ widely even in the same woman from day to day.\n\nIt helps to separate what symptoms effect you most and deal with a one or two since there is not one single type of cannabis product that can help all of them at once. For example if you take insomnia, it might help to take a indica strain edible with a combined THC/CBD profile that would last through the night instead of vaping. When visiting your local bud tender they may suggest several different products for the symptoms of PMS that bothers you the most.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nA nice indica hybrid, that has a good ratio of CBD, such as Lavendar Kush High CBD, is great for helping to alleviate cramps and fabulous for evening and helping with sleep during your cycle. For daytime use, we've created an elixir called Full Moon that works wonders for balancing hormones during PMS and alleviates cramps. Designed to offer the benefits of cannabis without the high, you can take it throughout the day, every few hours, and still be able to be present and functional for your daily life. Quiver is our sensual lubricant. Because you apply it internally, it works wonders for helping to relax the cramps at the site of pain. Please feel free to look us up if you have further questions. We're here to help and have seen wonderfully positive results with these products from dozens of women.\n\nherbabuena","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10595-markdown","title":"What kind of strain(s) is/are used in Foria?","slug":"what-kind-of-strains-is-are-used-in-foria","content":"\"Is it a Sativa or Indica?\"\n_____________________\nThat is a very good question that is best asked of the manufacturer themselves.

Foria Relief that is a vaginal suppository for menstrual cramps as well as Foria Pleasure that is a spray to use vaginally. The Relief has 60mg of THC and 10mg of CBD while each spray of their Pleasure product has 2.5 mg THC and they suggest using 5 sprays for total of 12mg. We have had very positive feedback from our patients who have tried their Relief product only since we don't have patients coming to us for their Pleasure product.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nForia Pleasure and Foria Relief are not strain specific.   \n\nThe manufacturers have found no difference in efficacy between strains.  \n\nForia Pleasure has 15mg of THC per ml.  Which means, the 5ml bottle has 75mg, the 10ml bottle has 150mg and the 30ml bottle has 450mg of THC.    \nThe more useful number might be that each spray contains about 2.5mg of THC.\n\nHope that's helpful.\n\ndrbluto","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":24,"numPages":3,"currentPage":3,"id":5417,"name":"Kind","slug":"kind","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
