The Hemp CBD Craze – Not Crazy After All
By: Roy Williams
With over 100 cannabinoids proving to support almost every system of the human body, CBD may very well prove to be the go-to, all-natural supplement of the 21st century. Proven benefits now include decreased inflammation and pain, reduction in number and intensity of seizures, reduced anxiety, and better sleep than ever.
In one study published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, 93% of elderly patients reported relief from joint pain. In a 5-year study from Harvard and Beth Israel Medical Center, CBD users saw 16% better insulin levels, 18% better insulin metabolism, smaller waist circumference and better HDL levels.
According to a study published by the Salk Institute, researchers found that hemp targets neural inflammation and removes toxic proteins in neural cells. Reduction of neural inflammation and toxic proteins may actually reduce the odds of dementia and possibly Alzheimer’s.
Oxford University found that a single dose of a compound in hemp supports healthy blood pressure in volunteers. In that study, 900 healthy male volunteers were given 600 mg of a CBD compound and a placebo in a randomized, placebo-controlled study. The hemp users had better blood sugar control and 16% lower fasting insulin levels compared to non-users.
In another study, a single dose was found to support healthier blood pressure, mood and anxiety improvement, and 94% of patients reported symptom relief for dozens of different health issues from using CBD. Three of the most impressive results were 45% improvement in sleep, many reporting the best sleep of their lives; greater memory retention; and up to 75% reduction in pain of all types.
With so many studies from all over the world, it is no wonder that CBD is fast becoming the go-to, all-natural supplement for so many people. Add to that the fact that CBD has no negative side effects, is nontoxic, and can be taken along with any prescription, and you begin to understand why it is the future of healthy support for practically everyone.
The reason CBD works is because cannabinoid receptors are embedded in the cell membrane all over the body. Some of the cannabinoids fit pain receptors while others fit glucose receptors, which explains the pain reduction and better blood sugar levels. Many cannabinoids can pass through the blood-brain barrier reducing inflammation in the brain, improving moods, lessening seizures, and decreasing anxiety.
CBD or hemp is so effective that it threatens to end all Big Pharma’s monopolies, which in my humble opinion is a great thing. Because of the pharmaceutical industry’s ability to manipulate the FDA and the medical profession for over 50 years, there have been no cures for any disease released to the public.
Note: I didn’t say there have been no cures but no cures have been released, and the reason for that is because the billions of dollars they are bringing in comes from treating the symptoms of disease, not curing disease. The cures are there and CBD may prove to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Shall we pray?
With that said, let me suggest that you pay attention to what is happening in the hemp and CBD industry. It is growing by leaps and bounds, thanks in part to President Trump’s help to make it legal in all 50 states. Because of that legislation more and more double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are sure to come.
Remember what Jesus told us in John 8:32, “The truth will set you free.” If you listen closely, you can hear the freedom bells ringing. If we the public maintain the pressure on our elected officials, we can keep our country moving toward medical freedom.
Over time we may even be able to force the insurance companies to cover proven and effective all-natural treatments for disease instead of forcing us to be dependent on their synthetic drugs.
