Doctors find cannabis can cure cancer
Lcannabis has been known to mankind since the Neolithic. In Ancient Egyptthere is a written record of the medicinal use of hemp. So the papyrus Ebers (written 1500 BC) mentions the use of oil from hempseed to treat vaginal inflammations (formula no 821, p. 96, lines 7-8).
In fanchee count, the oldest treaty of medical matter (Shennong bencao jing), compiled around the beginning of our era, mentions cannabis (Maben 麻 贲, currently lady 大麻). It is classified as a higher category drug intended to prolong life ("lighten the body" like that of an immortal riding the clouds).
At the same time, in the Greco-Latin area, the Greek botanist Dioscorides described in From Materia Medica (ie century), a kannabis emeros (female), identified as the Cannabis sativa :
“Cannabis is a very useful plant that allows you to braid very strong ropes ... Eaten in large quantities, it prevents conceiving children. The juice of the green plant is good against earache… ”
It is one of the first plants domesticated by man, traces of which can be found in pot decorations dating from eight thousand years BC. Long considered magical, this amazing plant is both capable of providing strong fibers from which ropes, clothes and even paper are made, rich oilseeds suitable for human consumption, and also a psychotropic resin with medicinal properties. But after having supported the development of all humanity for thousands of years, it was undoubtedly under pressure from multiple lobbies that hemp was banned.
Following the failure of alcohol prohibition in the United States in the 30s, the American Puritan authorities took an interest in cannabis and started a propaganda campaign against the plant, which was then said to be would be responsible for more than half of the crimes in cities like New Orleans. The plant is associated with "niggers" and the disgust they inspire at the time to reinforce the negative image of it. Supported by allies in the industry, the campaign paid off and led to several successive laws regulating and then banning the production and use of hemp. Thus, the cotton, nylon, petroleum, and paper industries can prosper, freed from the presence of their most serious competitor.
2 / Cannabis infusion and legality
What is THC?
THC (Δ9 - tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main substance responsible for the pharmacological effects of cannabis in humans. It is the active principle contained in cannabis and its various compounds. Tetrahydrocannabinol has a character psychotropic.
Since the ecological awareness of the 70 years, hemp has gradually regained its nobility. It is not yet very well accepted by society, which has long been feared as a drug and a gateway to cocaine. We now know that finance, celebrity and television are much more effective channels for the consumption of real drugs, and that cannabis is less dangerous than other soft drugs. Indeed, tobacco is addictive, alcohol and ecstasy can cause death by overdose, while cannabis causes neither.
But contrary to popular belief, there are many hemp plantations in France, and the multiple uses of the plant are beginning to be rediscovered and perfected. However, certain parts of the plant, which are generally intended for recreational use, remain prohibited. This is the case, for example, with flowers from the female plant (weed, weed, or marijuana and their hashish resin, shit). Our cannabis herbal teas contain exclusively leaves and stems. These are very little loaded with THC, the active principle of the “drug” cannabis, by their cultivation in the sun which causes the deterioration of this one in CBD, molecule with powerful therapeutic effects.
In addition, our cannabis herbal teas are exclusively intended to be infused. THC changes very easily to CBD when it is heated and therefore during an infusion, there is no no risk to feel the slightest psychotropic effect by consuming the cannabis infusions féeduthé.com. However, the benefits of the plant are superior and our herbal teas more rich in benefits than in recreational cannabis. Indeed, the plant compensates for its low THC level by producing more CBD and other beneficent cannabinoids. The little THC it contains then deteriorates into CBD by the action of the sun and heat.
Cannabis herbal teas from féeduthé.com are therefore perfectly legal and are not intended or adapted for recreational use. Their medical use remains possible, however, at the discretion of each.
3 / The benefits of cannabis infusion
Since the dawn of time, cannabis has been used to treat vomitingparasitic infectious diseases and haemorrhages. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was even used to treat cholera, tetanus, rabies and rheumatism. Nowadays, we know him no less than 25 therapeutic properties scientifically proven and allowing the treatment of more than 200 diseases !
In cannabis herbal tea, there is no or very little THC, but above all CBD, a molecule devoid of psychotropic effects but offering many benefits. Among the most remarkable, we note that CBD relieves inflammations, anxiety, nausea and convulsions. He participates in the treatment of schizophrenia, stimulates the immune system and turns out to be a powerful antioxidant.
Nota Bene : the cannabinoids THC, CBD and other molecules in their family are very insoluble in water. If you get our cannabis herbal teas for their therapeutic benefits, we advise you to infuse them in milk. You can also use them in one of our tea-based cooking recipes. More generally, cannabinoids are soluble in lipids (fatty substances such as oil or milk) and in ethanol (alcohols).
4/ Medicine: therapeutic treatment
Several states in the US allow marijuana to help patients with incurable illnesses alleviate their pain, but the use of marijuana for therapeutic purposes could now go much further. This is what two Californian researchers have discovered that have identified a molecule that can fight against the development of cancerous tumors. A discovery that could eventually save lives.
"It took us 20 years to get there, now we want to go to clinical tests as quickly as possible", declared to Huffington Post the searcher Pierre Desprez du California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. In the United States,Daily Beast had echoed these researches tested in laboratories but also on animals.
Say cannabidiol
Rest assured, this is not about smoking marijuana joints with patients with incurable diseases. The molecule identified by Pierre Desprez and his team is Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-toxic and non-psychoactive substance found in cannabis.
Dr. Desprez's team realized that CBD acts on the ID-1 gene, which causes the development of cancer. Deprez had been working on this gene for a long time while Sean McAllister was working on the properties of cannabidiol, a molecule that is of particular interest to the scientific community today.
Effects on several types of cancer
“What we noticed is that cannabidiol turns off the ID-1 gene,” Desprez told the Huffington Post. Under the influence of CBD, cancer cells stopped growing. Desprez and McAllister published a first study on the subject in 2007. Since then, they have been able to test the molecule in the laboratory and on animals, and what they discovered exceeded their expectations.
“We started to be interested in breast cancer,” says Pierre Desprez, “But now we know that cannabidiol works on cancers of the brain, prostate, in short, all cancers where the ID-1 gene plays a role. active role "
“We did not find any trace of toxicity among the animals tested in the laboratory and cannabidiol is already used in humans in many other diseases. CBD is indeed used to calm anxiety and nausea, and since the molecule is not psychoactive, patients do not suffer (or benefit, it depends on them) from any "highs".
Eventually, and if the clinical tests were conclusive, cannabidiol would not be distributed ...
Being able to smoke cannabis without experiencing the side effects of this drug: this good news comes from Israel, where 6 000 people are allowed to use marijuana for therapeutic reasons. Israeli scientists have succeeded in developing the cultivation of cannabis usable for medical purposes without euphoric effect, reports Wednesday 30 May the daily Maariv.
According to the newspaper, the appearance, smell and taste of this cannabis are unchanged, but the one who smokes it does not experience any of the sensations associated with tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, the active substance of marijuana.
According to Maariv, Tikkun Olam neutralized the effects of THC and increased those of another substance called CBD, or cannabidiol, effective in the treatment of diabetes and various psychiatric disorders. The new marijuana avoids the habituation effect and the feeling of hunger experienced by drug users.
