Cannabinoid therapy
MODUS OPERANDY
Medical cannabis includes more than 1000 substances, among which are flavonoids, terpents and cannabinoid. They affect each other’s metabolism, availability and cell membrane and brain barrier permeability. All that we call the entourage effect, which means effect of many working together, and is used in Cannabinoid therapy. The two highly active substances in human metabolism that are found in Cannabis are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD), which are followed in smaller amounts by other cannabinoids – CBDA, THCA, CBC, CBG, CBV, THCV and CBDV. These are natural molecules that work as neurotransmitters or neuro and metabolism suppressants, each in its unique way and affect each-others metabolism in the human body. That kind of action is called modulation, in this case of the immune system, what strengthens its basic protective function.
COMBATING ILNESSES
Cannabinoid therapy modulates damaged immune system and increases its ability to heal. THC and CBD bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors in human endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoid therapy restores the natural balance of cannabinoids in the human endocannabinoid system and hence empowers the body to better fight ailments like Neuropathic and Neuromuscular ilnesses: Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy and Seizures, Psoriasis; Rheumatoid ilnesses: Rheumatism, Arthritis, Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Inflammation; Psychosomatic illnesses: Stress, Anxiety, Migraine, Depression, Insomnia, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Anorexia, Obesity; Cancers and Tumors: Cancer (cancer tumors growth, tumor cells growth, glaucoma pressure), Palliative care; and Other Central body Illnesses: Digestive Issues, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diabetes. Among these, fighting cancer is the most comprehensive. Cannabinoid therapy addresses fighting cancer directly. Both THC and CBD kill cancer cells directly; THC via accumulation of ceramide in the cells and closing the energy supply to the cell, and CBD trough wrecking the calcium metabolism and Caspase Cascade key in cell apoptosis; all resulting in death of the cancerous cell. At the same time CBD activates endocannabinoid system with stimulation of production of endo-cannabinoids – Anandamide and AG-2 that in turn enable immune system to kill the cancer cells. One study has shown that CBD also decreases aggressiveness of metastatic carcinoma which down-regulates the tumor aggressiveness.
TERAPEUTS AND THERAPY
Cannabinoid therapy is carried out by formal educated medical proffessional and medical doctors and is tailored to each individuall patient needs. Therapy is performed individually in our therapeutic practice. All therapies are painless, complementary and have no harmful side effects. They are intended for individuals older than one year, lasting 15 to 20 minutes, and the effects can be expressed immediately.
