A huge subject, about which many consider me an 'expert' but personally I'm more the blind man who has spent time familiarising themselves with a room. I am NOT medically qualified so speak utterly from personal experience and my amateur researches.
Firstly we need to establish why we experience poor health and pain. It would seem that most common ailments from hayfever and common colds to cancers and neurological complaints can be said to be experienced through the inflammatory response of the human immune system. This response is largely driven by signals from the histamine system and is why 'anti-histamines' reduce the suffering of hayfever and colds. It would appear that the modern sedentary, chemo-saturated lives we lead over stimulate this histamine response and lead to the vast majority of human suffering. Cannabis is said to 'induce homeostasis' by occupying the receptor of the synapses and 'down regulating' nerve and hormonal signals by reducing any persistent neural signals and thus lowering the sensation of pain or inflammatory discomfort by reducing the intensity and frequency of the signals that we perceive as pain.
In addition to this, many persistent conditions of ageing are arrived at from years of constant nerve damage from chemicals or activities, cannabinoids are known to repair this damage to the mylar sheath surrounding the nerve bundle which can progressively undo the years of damage. My friend once crippled and wheelchair bound from MS, has just retaken her able bodied drivers test to remove her requirement for hand controls. The licencing authorities had no established procedure for this as they seemingly don't see many 'un-disabled' drivers!
The unrivalled anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial potency of cannabis can be best displayed by its ability to reverse gum boils and dental infections almost instantaneously.
Some neurological conditions and cancers seem to respond more to the 'active' parts of the cannabinoid spectrum, the research here has been staggering. For cancers, it appears cannabis (thc in particular) induces 'early cell death' making cells replenish at a much earlier stage in their life cycles, while sounding alarming, it turns out that cancer triggers live on the tail end of a molecule that is decoded sequentially over time. This means the early cell death of a tumour may lead to it being replaced by a healthy unaffected cell due to the cancer code not having been arrived at. For neurological complaints like MS, ME, fibro-myalgia and epilepsy the neurological regulatory ability of THC and CBD seem to correct the erroneous nerve signals that induce the onset of attacks while repairing nerve damage sites from past episodes.
I would deeply appreciate the RIU University to join me on this thread and add their experience, data and references where possible, like I said, a vast subject and one very much misunderstood and too infrequently discussed in detail.
