Hemp: seeds or oil? Which form is best for curing disease?

The list of diseases that can be healed by hemp seeds goes on and on. Why is that? And what form is the most effective? CBD or hemp oil? Drinking tea from the leaf? Or just eating the seed? Lets see what we can find.

6 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Hemp Seeds

The healing properties and CBD oil benefits:

Hemp seeds, Hemp seed oil, CBD oil, Rick Simpson oil and : how do they work and why?

What is the difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil?

First, it is important to note that there is a lot of confusion around the names of these products. “Hemp oil” is another way that people can refer to CBD oil. However, some people may also refer to hemp seed oil as hemp oil.

Hemp seed oil and CBD oil are very different products.

CBD oil uses the stalks, leaves, and flowers of the hemp plant in its production. These contain a higher concentration of CBD, which is a compound with numerous potential health benefits.

Meanwhile, hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. The seeds do not contain CBD, but they still have a rich profile of nutrients, fatty acids, and useful bioactive compounds that can also have health benefits.

Hemp seed oil

Hemp seed oil derives from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. It contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, gamma-linolenic acid, and other nutritional antioxidants. It is also high in B vitamins and vitamin D.

People will not get high when using hemp seed oil, as it contains no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and little to no CBD.

Uses

People do not use hemp seed oil for recreational purposes. This is because the levels of THC and CBD, which cause the psychoactive effects, are either limited or absent.

Some nutritional supplements contain hemp seed oil because of its high omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and nutritious antioxidant content.

Other uses of hemp seed oil include manufacturing clothing and fibers.

How it works

Some people suggest that hemp seed oils can help people maintain good cardiovascular health by improving:

  • total cholesterol
  • high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
  • low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
  • triglycerides

However, the evidence for its efficacy for these purposes is not clear.

Abstract

Objective: The impact of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the n-6 and n-3 series on the cardiovascular system is well documented. To directly compare the effects of three dietary oils (fish, flaxseed and hempseed) given in concentrations expected to be self-administered in the general population on specific cardiovascular parameters in healthy volunteers.

Design: 86 healthy male and female volunteers completed a 12 week double blinded, placebo controlled, clinical trial. They were randomly assigned to one of the four groups. Subjects were orally supplemented with two 1 gm capsules of placebo, fish oil, flaxseed oil or hempseed oil per day for 12 weeks.

Results: Plasma levels of the n-3 fatty acids docosahexanoic acid and eicosapentanoic acid increased after 3 months supplementation with fish oil. Alpha linolenic acid concentrations increased transiently after flaxseed supplementation. However, supplementation with hempseed oil did not significantly alter the concentration of any plasma fatty acid. The lipid parameters (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and TG) did not show any significant differences among the four groups. Oxidative modification of LDL showed no increase in lag time over the 12 wk period. None of the dietary interventions induced any significant change in collagen or thrombin stimulated platelet aggregation and no increase in the level of inflammatory markers was observed.

Conclusion: From a consumer’s perspective, ingesting 2 capsules of any of these oils in an attempt to achieve cardiovascular health benefits may not provide the desired or expected result over a 3 month period.

Effects and benefits

When manufacturers add hemp seed oil to nutritional products — such as snack bars, breads, cookies, and yogurt — it provides an excellent source of nutrients. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids.

Hempseed has achieved a growing popularity in human nutrition, particularly regarding essential amino acids and fatty acids. The multiple positive attributes of hempseed have led to the further study of its constituents. In this study, hempseed extract containing phenylpropionamides (TPA) was obtained and its chemical profile and content were obtained using high-performance liquid chromatography technology based on previous study. The anti-neuroinflammatory effect of TPA extract was evaluated using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse model. Fourteen phenylpropionamides (TPA) were identified in the obtained extract with a total content of 233.52 ± 2.50 μg/mg extract. In mice, TPA prevented the learning and spatial memory damage induced by LPS. Increased brain levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the LPS-induced mice were reduced by TPA treatment. Furthermore, TPA attenuated LPS-induced hippocampal neuronal damage in mice. This study demonstrates the nutraceutical potential of hempseed from a neuroprotective perspective.

Overall, our previous study found that the phenylpropanamide compounds in hempseed have significant anti-neuroinflammatory activities at the cellular level. In this study, we established a mouse model of neuroinflammation induced by LPS and found that hempseed extract rich in phenylpropionamides possesses effective anti-neuroinflammatory activity. This neuroprotective function of hempseed makes it worth noting as a functional food.

Hemp seed oil also has several possible benefits, including:

  • relieving constipation
  • providing cardiovascular health benefits
  • modifying the immune system
  • improving skin conditions
  • improving gastrointestinal conditions

Some other possible benefits of hemp seed oil include:

  • anticancer effects
  • antioxidant effects
  • anti-aging effects

Hemp seed oil also contains other components that may provide benefits to consumers.

How is it made?

Manufacturers extract hemp seed oil from the seeds of the hemp plant.

Since the oil comes from the seeds and not the leaves, flowers, or stem of the cannabis plant, hemp seed oil does not contain THC.

Risks and side effects

Consuming hemp seed oil is safe.

However, it may not provide any benefit for cardiovascular health, as some people believe. Some consumers also report digestive issues, but these effects may not occur in everyone.

Less than 0.3% of the dry weight of hemp seed oil contains THC, so people are unlikely to experience a high when consuming it.

CBD oil

People can generally find three different types of CBD oil on the market:

  • full-spectrum CBD oil, which contains all compounds of the cannabis plant, including THC (but at a very low level)
  • broad-spectrum CBD oil, which contains several compounds but not THC
  • CBD oil made using CBD isolate, which contains only CBD

It is important to note that because these terms are not regulated, some manufacturers may use them interchangeably.

People should always check the Certificate of Analysis (COA) of CBD products. Usually, a third party will conduct this testing. Checking the COA is the only way to fully understand what exactly a CBD oil product contains.

Uses

Some people use CBD oils for their alleged medicinal benefits.

For example, people may use CBD-derived products for:

Aside from the antiepileptic effects of CBD, researchers still need to confirm the other potential therapeutic benefits of CBD.

Since full-spectrum CBD oil contains THC, some people may use it for recreational purposes because it has psychoactive effects. Other effects of THC may include preventing nausea and vomiting.

These oils may also contain smaller amounts of other phytocannabinoids and terpenoids, which may have other effects that require further investigation.

Learn more about the potential health benefits of CBD oil here.

How it works

Researchers are still attempting to determine how CBD affects the body, but they suggest that it works in several ways, including by:

  • inhibiting endocannabinoid reuptake
  • activating the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, which plays a role in regulating pain, and g-coupled receptor 55
  • increasing the activity of serotonin receptors

The THC in full-spectrum CBD oil binds to the CB1 receptor in the endocannabinoid system, and this is responsible for its psychoactive effects.

Full- and broad-spectrum CBD oils may also contain beta-caryophyllene, which can bind to the CB2 receptors. Researchers are still investigating the function of the CB2 receptors.

Effects and benefits

Several components of the different CBD oils have specific effects.

The following table summarizes some of the components in CBD oils and their potential effects:

ComponentEffects
CBDantiepileptic
pain-relieving
anti-inflammatory
antianxiety

Beta-caryophylleneantianxiety

Limoneneantioxidant
antitumor
Cannabichromenepain-relieving
Cannabigerolanti-inflammatory
neuroprotective

Researchers are still studying the effects of the components in CBD-derived products.

How is it made?

CBD oil comes from the flowers and leaves of the plant. With specialized extraction processes such as carbon dioxide extraction manufacturers can draw out an extract rich in CBD and other components.

Taken together, the results presented in this study indicate the pronounced variability of CBD concentrations in commercialized CBD oil preparations. The differences found in the overall cannabinoids profiles accompanied with discrepancies revealed for the terpenes fingerprint justify the necessity to provide firmer regulation and control. Precise information regarding CBD oil composition is crucial for consumers, as individual doses throughout the administration period have to be adapted according to CBD bioavailability. This is of fundamental importance regarding consumer safety, as CBD oil preparations are also used in therapeutical purposes, regardless of the fact that they are registered as dietary supplements.

Although manufacturers need to keep all components intact for full-spectrum CBD oil products, they only need to extract CBD for CBD isolate.

Risks and side effects

Research suggests that CBD-derived products are safe and have limited side effects. Although information about the safety of different CBD oils is lacking, researchers have studied the side effects of individual ingredients in CBD-derived products.

For example, there were no reported side effects when participants took 300 milligrams (mg) of CBD per day for up to 6 months. A study also demonstrated no side effects when people took up to 1,500 mg per day for a month.

Larger studies into the effects of Epidiolex, a CBD drug for people with epilepsy, reported some side effects. These included:

Experts advise people who want to use CBD-derived products to ensure that they can trust their source. Improper labeling and faulty manufacturing processes can expose people to contaminants or THC in CBD isolate or broad-spectrum CBD oil.

Today, regulations on product labeling in the United States are unclear. To select an appropriate and safe product, experts suggest ensuring that:

CBD can interfere with certain other medications.

The benefits of cbdoil:

1. It Relieves Chest Pain

Chest pain might not be a primary symptom of asthma but clinical research has shown that around 76% of patients experience moderate to severe chest pain during an attack.

The pain is generally characterized by a piercing sensation in the chest that occurs during the initial phase of the attack and gradually subsides with time.

As chest pain, coupled with symptoms like shortness of breath, can be crippling, extensive research has been conducted to provide quick relief to patients during particularly violent episodes of asthma attacks.

A 2008 review by GW Pharmaceuticals explored the benefits of using cannabinoids such as CBD as analgesics to relieve pain.

The review considered several randomized controlled trials and came to the conclusion that CBD and related phytocannabinoids act as analgesics by affecting the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

This system consists of ligands and receptors which are involved in mediating appetite, pain sensations, sleep, fertility, and many other bodily functions.

The endocannabinoid involved in mediating pain is 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and its plant-derived analog is CBD.

As a result, CBD is useful in managing asthma-related pain via the ECS by binding to specific nociceptors which are nerve cells that sense pain and triggering an analgesic response.

Summary

As CBD helps in binding and altering the activities of cells that mediate pain, it can be used as an effective remedy to treat asthma-related chest pain in patients.

2. CBD Exhibits Bactericidal Effect

While genetics and family history of the disease is generally thought to be the major risk factors for developing asthma, there is increasing evidence that it can also be triggered by certain infections, particularly by Streptococcus pneumoniae, in early childhood.

They modulate the immune system in such a way that patients are left susceptible to a host of allergens and irritants.

Extensive studies are being conducted to develop potential antibiotics that can be used to combat and reduce both the short-term symptoms and long-term manifestations of asthma.

However, until such specialized options are widely available, treatment mostly relies on the administration of common drugs like azithromycin or erythromycin which, unfortunately, might lead to antibiotic resistance.

Nowadays, cannabinoids including CBD and THC have gained eminence in the sphere of asthma medications.

In fact, studies in the Netherlands have investigated the broad-spectrum bactericidal effect of these phytocannabinoids against several pathogens.

Streptococci and staphylococci, which cause asthma, are particularly susceptible to these cannabis-based products.

Summary

The broad-spectrum bactericidal activity of CBD can help in treating bacterial and viral infections and lower the incidence of asthma and related respiratory disorders.

3. CBD Relieves Inflammation

One of the major complications of asthma is the chronic inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles (air passages) in the lungs.

During an attack, the levels of inflammation simply get amplified which increasingly constricts the passages thereby preventing airflow and culminating in muscular spasms.

The state of inflammation is generally brought about by an immune response to the presence of allergens or pathogenic bacteria and viruses in the respiratory system.

The degree of inflammation varies between different individuals and often determines the severity of the attacks and symptoms.

Studies have shown that phytocannabinoids have marked anti-inflammatory effects and can be used to reduce markers of asthma.

A 2015 experimental study at the Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense observed the effects of CBD on an animal model of asthma.

The results showed a significant decrease in inflammatory cytokines (signalling molecules of the immune system).

This is mostly because of the presence of cannabinoid receptors in the lung tissue which plays a major role in mediating inflammation, muscle contractions and relaxations, and airflow through the passages.

CBD helps in lowering inflammation by binding to these receptors, however, research about the immunomodulatory effects of CBD have still a long way to go.

CBD has an anti-inflammatory effect which helps in promoting the passage of air through the bronchi and relieve symptoms of asthma.

4. It Acts as a Bronchodilator

When a patient experiences a violent asthma attack, their bronchioles which act as a network of fine passageways carrying oxygen become severely constricted.

This causes the rate of oxygen flow to decrease alarmingly. As a result, severe coughing and shortness of breath occur.

Bronchoconstriction also results in muscular spasms which are characteristic of an asthma attack.

The degree of bronchoconstriction can be ascertained by taking expiratory flow measurements from asthma patients and comparing them with normal readings wherein individuals have healthy lungs.

The differences in the rates of airflow during normal and inflammatory situations can also be calculated to determine the mode of treatment.

Research on alternative therapeutic strategies have shown that the use of cannabis in many forms can substantially improve the health of asthma patients as several of its compounds, particularly the cannabinoids, promote bronchodilation.

In fact, cannabis usage has had beneficial effects on patients even under normal circumstances as it improves the rate of airflow.

The presence of phytocannabinoids such as THC and CBD help in relieving muscular constriction.

A 2007 review at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem confirmed the role of cannabis and CBD in mediating bronchodilation. Widespread surveys of marijuana smokers have reported much lower incidences of asthma and bronchoconstriction.

While the bronchodilatory effects CBD were slightly weaker than some commercial drugs, they lasted longer and vaporizers containing CBD oil provides rapid relief during severe asthma attacks.

Coupled with its analgesic properties, CBD usage helps in relieving pain and shortness of breath during violent episodes.

Summary

Bronchodilation is one of the major beneficial effects of cannabis use that has been documented throughout the ages. Therefore, the specialized of vaporizers containing THC and CBD oils can help in providing relieving during asthma attacks.

5. CBD Oil Lowers Spasms

The muscles around the bronchial tubes are quite smooth to allow the air to flow easily.

But in case of a respiratory disorder like asthma, these smooth muscles can get contracted to hinder the airflow. Inflammation in the bronchioles due to the presence of allergens or irritants in the lung tissues is usually responsible for such bronchial spasms.

Bronchospasms result in shortness of breath and patients often experience tightness in the chest.

Wheezing is the primary outcome of bronchospasms due to major constriction of the bronchial tubes.

An immune response may be accompanied by mucus secretion which might further constrict the tubes and aggravate the spasms.

It has been mentioned that cannabis acts as a bronchodilator. However, studies have also shown that bronchodilation is an outcome of this product’s ability to relax the smooth muscles by having an antispasmodic effect.

As CBD also helps in counteracting inflammation, it helps in lowering the intensity of spasms by counteracting muscle contractions.

A 2008 experimental study by the University of Naples Federico II and Endocannabinoid Research Group observed that CBD does exhibit antispasmodic properties in general.

Another study showed that CBD, along with THC, can help in reducing bronchial spasms in a dose-dependent manner.

This is again because of the ability of these molecules to stimulate the endocannabinoid system.

Summary

As CBD helps in lowering the degree of muscle constriction around the bronchioles, it acts as an antispasmodic which reduces the feeling of tightness in the chest during asthma attacks.

Rick Simpson Oil:

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) for Cancer: Does It Work?

 Medically Reviewed by Jennifer Robinson, MD on May 17, 2020By Markham Heid

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), an oil made from the flowers of the cannabis (marijuana) plant, gets attention online from people who claim it treats cancer. There’s no solid evidence for it. But some early research suggests that some chemicals in marijuana have future potential as a cancer treatment.

Cannabis oil comes in many types and formulations. These include cannabidiol (CBD) oil, which is often part of medical marijuana.

Unlike many other cannabis oils, Rick Simpson Oil is high in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the main psychoactive chemical in marijuana. THC is the chemical in marijuana that provides the “high.”

Online reports say Simpson is a Canadian engineer and cannabis activist. After a bad fall, he found that marijuana helped lessen his dizziness and other symptoms. Later, when he developed basal cell skin cancers on his arm, Simpson used cannabis oil as a treatment. As the reports go, his skin cancers went away.

What Is Rick Simpson Oil?

RSO is an oil made by washing cannabis buds with a solvent, such as pure light naphtha, and then boiling off the solvent leaving behind the oil.

RSO is not a branded product. That means there’s no one “Rick Simpson Oil” for sale. On his website, Simpson explains how to make his namesake oil. But he does not sell a version of the oil for profit.

Because RSO contains high levels of THC, it’s illegal to buy in many places. But in states that have legalized marijuana — either for personal use or for medical use — you can find RSO at cannabis dispensaries.

Can RSO Treat Cancer?

Cannabis oils that contain THC may help control nausea and vomiting for people who are going through chemotherapy. There’s also evidence that they can treat pain and improve appetite.

But research has not shown that RSO or other forms of cannabis oil can treat cancer. Some very early studies on using THC to treat cancer have been encouraging, though.

In animals and in the lab, studies have found that THC and other cannabis chemicals can stop the growth of tumors. These lab studies have looked at cells related to lung, skin, breastprostate, and other cancers. They’ve found that cannabis can in some cases stop the cancer cells from spreading.

Other research on THC and other cannabis compounds shows that they may kill off cancer cells while sparing healthy cells.

Cannabis is generally safe. Common side effects include dizziness or memory problems.

Other Medical Uses of Cannabis

Many U.S. states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use. There’s evidence that it can treat pain, nausea, and other symptoms.

When it comes to cannabis oil, there are also medical benefits. Research has shown that some CBD oils, including those that contain THC, can help control seizures among people with epilepsy. The FDA has approved some drugs that contain CBD for seizure treatment.

James Tripp Jack’s Garage.

A story of Cannabis, Cancer, and Courage.

I suffered from disease, pain, and had very little prospect of a viable future due sever illness and was able to heal myself via cannabinoid Therapy. As a result, I have been a Medical Cannabis Activist for many years and have spent countless hours fighting for change at the Government, Institutional, and societal, level via contacts and aggressive campaigns to promote change for the acceptance of medicinal Cannabis use both in mentality, as well as legislation, and regulation.

This has been a tiresome and often lonely fight, with very little ability to actually see thew concrete positive effects of my labour.
Being a advocate, that does what I do, can get very discouraging at times but then I see a documentary like this and I realize that I am just one person in vast army of people fighting for change that will benefit EVERYONE!

This is the story of a good friend of mine named Jack; he has fought hard to regain his health as well as his spiritual and emotional well-being and he is now helping countless others learn about the vast medical benefits of Cannabis and is literally helping to SAVE LIFES!

I have seen the people coming into Jack’s Garage, often hopeless, and at the end of the road; that is when Jack steps up and shares his knowledge and experience. He makes no promises but tells it like it is and the truth is what truly brings hope.

Jack has gone through hell in his life, (and as someone who suffers from past childhood trauma) I can personally attest to the massive level of strength, courage, and character, that this man has shown in dealing with his own physical, psychological, and emotional health issues, so much so that it makes me so very proud to call this man my friend!

I may be at work in the background of Army Intelligence; But Jack is a 5 star general in the fight against Cancer, disease, pain and suffering, and is now a champion for Love, Compassion, and LIFE!

Jack saved himself from certain death, and he now helps countless others do the same; He is truly a healer, and I a proud to call him ‘Friend’.

Please watch this documentary if you have ANY DISEASE but if you have Cancer, or know someone who does; it could literally save their lives!

2019 literature reviewindicates that several studies found that CBD extracts may help to reduce cancer cell viability and prevent cancer cells from multiplying.

2019 reviewfocusing on pancreatic cancer suggests that cannabinoids may help slow tumor growth, reduce tumor invasion, and induce tumor cell death. A 2014 study also notes that CBD may have the potential to inhibit the spread of colorectal cancer cells.

2019 study indicates that CBD may encourage cell death and make glioblastoma cells more sensitive to radiation. This is consistent with a 2014 review, which also suggests that cannabinoids may possess anti-tumor properties.

Taken together, our results demonstrated the ability of CBD to partially overcome GBM resistance to treatment, even in the case of PI3K-AKT over-activation, which was a critical component of this resistance pathway .

Canada’s Law article 262 says you cannot be prosecuted for saving your own life or that of another, and that’s how he won a law suit against the government and obtained the right to grow his own cannabis.

Methionine is an amino acid that your cells need bit it also feeds cancer. The methionine content fruits, nuts, vegetables and beans is 80. Anthing over that feeds cancer directly.

30-day mortality after systemic anticancer treatment for breast and lung cancer in England: a population-based, observational study

Open AccessPublished:September, 2016DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(16)30383-7

Between Jan 1, and Dec, 31, 2014, we included 23 228 patients with breast cancer and 9634 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in our regression and trust-level analyses. 30-day mortality increased with age for both patients with breast cancer and patients with NSCLC treated with curative intent, and decreased with age for patients receiving palliative SACT

Anti-Cancer Potential of Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Flavonoids Present in Cannabis

Andrea M. Tomko,1,Erin G. Whynot,1,Lee D. Ellis,2 and Denis J. Dupré1,*

Studies of individual pure compounds found in cannabis have demonstrated, as highlighted in this review article, that many of the compounds present in cannabis could be part of a therapeutic solution for specific problems found during cancer treatment. Cannabis has a number of potential benefits especially in the management of symptoms for patients living with and beyond cancer. Cannabis is useful for various symptoms present during cancer like chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, pain and insomnia, for example. While cannabis may be less potent than some other antiemetics, it is sometimes the only drug that works, and it is the only antiemetic that also increases appetite. The potential of being able to use a single preparation that could hold benefit in the treatment of several adverse effects instead of multiple prescriptions that might interact with each other or with cancer-directed therapies seems advantageous.

It is unlikely that consumption of cannabis is sufficient to act as a stand-alone therapy, but rather, formulations that include compounds present in cannabis could very likely generate the beneficial therapeutic effects needed. There are currently several issues that limit the efficacy of anticancer therapies, such as chemotherapeutic resistance, localization of the tumour in hard to reach tissues, or the severe adverse effects of current therapeutic agents. In each of these cases, cannabis could potentially yield effects that could contribute to the efficacy of a therapy or reduce a side effect profile. Examples of this are found in studies that looked at the effects of several flavonoids and some other compounds that were found to block various effector pumps that are often associated with multidrug resistance. Additionally, some terpenes, like borneol, could facilitate the passage of various formulations past the blood-brain barrier for cancers within the brain tissues.

One of the important considerations when suggesting these compounds as therapeutics lies in their potential effects on the activity of not only known cancer therapeutics, but also other compounds found in cannabis. It has been shown that co-treatment of either THC or CBD with carfilzomib can lower the concentration required to have an effect on the viability and migration of cancer cells [77]. Importantly, when the THC and CBD were used in combination the levels of both compounds required to have an effect on carfilzomib was reduced. This then suggests potential synergistic effects of both the cannabinoids with the therapeutic and with each other. As multiple compounds, whether cannabinoids, terpenes or flavonoids have also been shown to display synergistic effects with current chemotherapeutic agents, this may allow for a reduced dosage of each agent required to produce a therapeutic effect, which has the potential to decrease adverse effects experienced by patients from treatments. As noted by some of the critics of this purported entourage effect, there may also be an exacerbation of negative effects, but this would clearly be evaluated within a systematic evaluation of the costs/benefits of combinatorial therapies. Some studies have begun evaluating the potential correlations of different compounds being produced together within cannabis cultivars [322,450,451,452]. It may be possible that clusters of compounds are required to act synergistically. These combinations have given plants unique profiles that may make some better therapeutics. By analyzing the specific chemical characteristics of the most effective cultivars, it may be possible to define and refine the chemicals that are responsible for their therapeutic benefits. This may provide a basis for the optimization of the ratios of compounds used as polytherapies. This is still highly speculative, and it may simply be that the wrong combination of compounds in botanical preparations were used, lacking flavonoids, for example.

With most of the studies up to now having been done in cell lines or animal models, a lot of work remains, in particular in regard to the bioavailability of these plant-derived compounds, before we fully understand the potential benefits of the cannabis polypharmacy in a way that could be used for the treatment of cancer in humans. Additional clinical studies are needed to clarify whether some of these compounds (alone or in combination with other anticancer agents) could be useful in anticancer therapies.

Some studies have begun evaluating the potential correlations of different compounds being produced together within cannabis cultivars [322,450,451,452]. It may be possible that clusters of compounds are required to act synergistically. These combinations have given plants unique profiles that may make some better therapeutics. By analyzing the specific chemical characteristics of the most effective cultivars, it may be possible to define and refine the chemicals that are responsible for their therapeutic benefits. This may provide a basis for the optimization of the ratios of compounds used as polytherapies. This is still highly speculative, and it may simply be that the wrong combination of compounds in botanical preparations were used, lacking flavonoids, for example.

With most of the studies up to now having been done in cell lines or animal models, a lot of work remains, in particular in regard to the bioavailability of these plant-derived compounds, before we fully understand the potential benefits of the cannabis polypharmacy in a way that could be used for the treatment of cancer in humans. Additional clinical studies are needed to clarify whether some of these compounds (alone or in combination with other anticancer agents) could be useful in anticancer therapies.

82 Real Life Amazing Hemp Products To Try Today

MINISTRY OF HEMP / MARCH 17, 2021 / 28 COMMENTS

How much do you know about hemp products? Today, dozens of different hemp products can be bought online or in stores.

Once upon a time, hemp was a commonplace plant that grew in almost every part of the United States. Hemp was used in fabric and textiles, rope and sails, food, medicine, and much more. Then decades of prohibition followed when hemp was banned along with its close cousin, “marijuana.” 

Hemp was legalized again in 2018, and the plant is returning to the United States in a big way. Currently, most of the hemp grown here is being used to make CBD oil, the super popular supplement. However, we’re also seeing many new hemp products appear, from hemp t-shirts to hemp cutlery. 

To show the true potential of hemp, we’ve created an extensive, all-encompassing list of hemp products that exists today. Although some of these applications may not yet be fully commercialized, most of these items can be purchased online through various boutique brands. Others can probably be found in a store near you. Many hemp advocates are fighting to offer customers high quality, eco-friendly hemp products that are superior to its conventional counterparts.

Check out our full list below and see what hemp has to offer. One thing that’s clear is that as more people start using hemp, its misconstrued stigma and its confusion with marijuana will more quickly disappear in the modern world. 

We hope you’ll try some hemp products. You’ll be surprised how awesome they are.

1. HEMP SEEDS

hemp seeds benefits and uses

Hemp seeds are probably the most popular application of hemp because it’s so nutritious. Popular among vegetarians and athletes, hemp seeds are often compared to flax and chia seeds as superfoods. Here’s just a short list of some of its amazing health benefits:

  • One of the most nutritious foods available in nature.
  • Easily digested by the body.
  • Can sustain our dietary needs, even without consuming any other healthy food.
  • Contains essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) – helps with immune system and cholesterol levels.
  • Helps heal those suffering from immune deficiency diseases.
  • A superior vegetarian source of protein.

Conclusion

A reason why hemp is so effective against cancer is because of the anti oxidants and the polyphenols, and because it has a 1:2.5 Omega 3 ALA:Omega 6 LA balance, which is the same as in the breast, colon and eyes.Eating the seeds is more effective than eating the oil, probably because of the instability of the oil.

I am a writer. My goal is spreading knowledge about becoming and staying healthy naturally, education and sustainable living. I research what top scientists say about it and try to make it easy to read and to apply for everyone. I don't spread my work until it has been checked and approved by Professors in the field I write about. Diet and care is just one of the subjects I often sink my teeth into: https://scentses4d.wordpress.com/naturally-happily-healthily-toxin-free-diet-and-care-e4dc/ I also write about Yeshua's Teaching: https://intelligentdevotion.wordpress.com/what-is-intelligent-devotion/ And we have an association for sustainable living: https://oor4uguilde.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/blog-post-title/ To be clear: I don't sell any products I mention and have no personal interest other than feeling the truth should be told. Nothing I discuss is not backed by research. I don't make anything up, but quote what scientists say who have no other interests than telling the truth. I also don't think I'm smarter than anyone else. I just find that there is often a huge difference between what research says is best and what is common practice. That's a gap I try to bridge. And just think about it: who are really pretending to be experts when they aren't? Those who do the research and do and pass on what scientists say? Or the ones who don't and try to silence those who do? Don't judge. Do research. The truth will set you free. I have a Masters in English Language and Literature, and over 20 years of experience with toxin free diet and care.
