Cannabis compound could be weapon in fight against superbugs

1/26/2020

A compound made by cannabis plants has been found to wipe out drug-resistant bacteria, raising hopes of a new weapon in the fight against superbugs.
Scientists screened five cannabis compounds for their antibiotic properties and found that one, cannabigerol (CBG), was particularly potent at killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most common hospital superbugs.

Having seen how effective the substance was against bacteria in the lab, the researchers decided to test CBG’s ability to treat infections in animals. In a study that has not yet been published, they found that CBG cured mice of MRSA infections as effectively as vancomycin, a drug widely considered to be the last line of defence against drug-resistant microbes. The study is under review at the ACS Infectious Diseases journal.

Cannabis in Palliative Care

"As Jose neared the end of her life after battling pancreatic cancer, morphine failed to control her pain, leaving her confused and unable to connect with loved ones. Thanks to an open-minded doctor who recommended cannabis oil, the last few weeks of her life became the gift her family longed for. The pain no longer troubled her, the anxiety lessened, sleep returned, as did her appetite. Not only that, Jose remained fully lucid until moments before she died."

Could CBD be the help you need to quit smoking cigarettes for good?

1/9/2020

1 Comment

Every year a lot of people try to quit smoking. It’s probably one of the top New Year's resolutions out there. Some will succeed and some sadly won’t.

Will you be taking the step this year?
Will cigarettes be a thing of the past this year?
Smoking is a habit that i is not very easy to quit, that is a well known fact.

There is even a huge industry built to help people quit smoking, with nicotine band aids and nicotine chewing gum in stores everywhere, hypnotherapy and other treatments available.
Have you ever tried to quit, but not yet succeeded?
Or maybe you just think it might be time to do it now?

Did you know that cannabinoids could help you through your struggle?

One study from 2013, Cannabidiol reduces cigarette consumption in tobacco smokers: Preliminary findings, shows that providing people CBD, reduced their consumption of cigarettes. The control group that got CBD had 40% less consumption than the placebo group.
Feeling less of a need to smoke, can be a very good aid if you are trying to quit.

The study focused on examining whether cannabidiol could impact on cigarette consumption.
And if drugs that alter the endocannabinoid system might be effective treatments for nicotine addiction.

“The role of the endocannabinoid system in nicotine addiction is being increasingly acknowledged. We conducted a pilot, randomised double blind placebo controlled study set out to assess the impact of the ad-hoc use of cannabidiol (CBD) in smokers who wished to stop smoking. 24 smokers were randomised to receive an inhaler of CBD (n = 12) or placebo (n = 12) for one week, they were instructed to use the inhaler when they felt the urge to smoke. Over the treatment week, placebo treated smokers showed no differences in number of cigarettes smoked. In contrast, those treated with CBD significantly reduced the number of cigarettes smoked by ~ 40% during treatment. Results also indicated some maintenance of this effect at follow-up. These preliminary data, combined with the strong preclinical rationale for use of this compound, suggest CBD to be a potential treatment for nicotine addiction that warrants further exploration. “

www.shifa-shop.com has Vape pens free of glycerine or any other additives, only CBD and terpenes for a healthy vape consumption.

Another study from 2018, Cannabidiol reverses attentional bias to cigarette cues in a human experimental model of tobacco withdrawal, looks further on these findings.

Should we consider CBD as an important tool in nicotine withdrawal?

“There is mounting evidence that the endogenous cannabinoid (eCB) system is involved in motivation for rewards, including modulating the rewarding effects of drugs. In relation to nicotine dependence, cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonists, such as rimonabant, decrease nicotine conditioned place preference and self‐administration in pre‐clinical models of addiction”

We know that many people around the world are using CBD and other cannabinoids to battle different kinds of addiction, both alcohol and pharmaceuticals. Seems likely that it would also help many with nicotine addiction as well. For several reasons.

“The psychological properties of CBD are suggestive of a potentially ideal drug for smoking cessation. These include its lack of intoxicating and subjective effects, alongside its anxiolytic effects in humans. Its anxiolytic properties are particularly relevant, as anxiety is a primary symptom of tobacco withdrawal ”

Many describe anxiety as being one of the toughest parts of quitting. Being restless, edgy and emotional. Using CBD for these issues can be of great relief and make quitting a lot less stressful.

“This suggests that CBD may have specific effects on the evaluative and motivational salience‐reducing properties of drug cues, which is consistent with clinical and pre‐clinical research. Moreover, no significant psychoactive or side effects were observed. These results therefore support the potential of CBD in targeting specific neurocognitive processes in nicotine addiction. “

So want to give it a go? Could 2020 be the year it happens?

Shifa Shop offers several CBD products that can help you get through this time.
Excellent CBD Vape pens, without toxic additives, pure extracts and terpenes only.
And Shifa CBD Oils and CBD capsules, if you want to quit the habit of smoking altogether.

Is this the time for a positive change? Are you ready to put those cigarettes aside?

If you choose to give it a go, we will be cheering for you!
You will feel great when you succeed!!

TERPENE AWARENESS

Did you know Limonene is the second most abundant terpene in all cannabis strains that have been tested so far? It gives a fresh aroma and several strains have their names inspired by this smell. But even so, some cannabis strains actually have no Limonene at all in them. Limonene is not only found in cannabis, but in a wide range of other plants. It’s one of the most abundant terpenes in nature as well, not just in cannabis. . Limonene is most commonly know to be found in citrus fruits,
and is used to add a fresh smell and/or add a extra medisinal use to a lot of different products.

Limonene has many therapeutic purposes, it’s long known to improve mood and reduce stress. It also seem to have antifungal and antibacterial properties, according to studies. It might even be beneficial for some cancer treatments as it has been documented as helping reducing tumors with high amounts and have shown no toxicity. . There are many ancient remedies from all over the world containing Limonene, and many of these are still being used by people who swear by them.

Getting a good amount Limonene in your cannabis oil can be very beneficial, and you can also add more along your treatment to boost it’s properties even more.

Here are some more benefits:

Boosts immunity. D-limonene is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.[3][4]
Improves gallbladder health. Being a solvent of cholesterol, d-limonene has been used clinically to dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones and clean out “fat sludge” in the gallbladder.
Provides indigestion relief. Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis (digestive movement), it has also been used for heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) relief.
Prevents and fights cancers. D-limonene has well-established chemopreventive activity against many types of cancer including breast cancer and colorectal cancer.[5]
Prevents fatty liver and insulin resistance. It helps prevent build-up of fat that results in a fatty liver while also preventing insulin resistance (pre-diabetes and diabetes).[6]
Kills pathogens/infections. D-limonene is naturally used by plants to kill pathogens; therefore, d-limonene has antibacterial and antifungal properties.[7]
Aids in weight loss. D-limonene acts as a mild appetite suppressant and prevents weight gain.[8][9]
Decreases anxiety and insomnia. It has an anti-anxiety effect, both calming nerves and improving sleep patterns.[10][11]

Some Limonene Studies:

Limonene protects osteoblasts against methylglyoxal-derived adduct formation by regulating glyoxalase, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function.
.- These results demonstrate that limonene may prevent the development of diabetic osteopathy.

Inhibition by D-limonene of gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in Wistar rats.
-The multiple antitumorigenic effects of limonene are attainable at a high therapeutic ratio, suggesting that limonene and related monoterpenes may be efficacious in the chemoprevention and chemotherapy of human malignancies.

Evaluation of acute toxicity of a natural compound (+)-limonene epoxide and its anxiolytic-like action.
-These findings suggest that acute administration of the (+)-limonene epoxide exerts an anxiolytic-like effect on mice, and it could serve as a new approach for the treatment anxiety, since it practically does not produce toxic effects.

Inhibition of DMBA-induced mammary cancer by the monoterpene d-limonene. ( Pets)
-For example, rats fed 10 000 p.p.m. of d-limonene had a 72% reduction in mammary tumors when compared to controls at 18 weeks post DMBA treatment. In addition to inhibiting the appearance of mammary tumors, d-limonene was also found to cause the regression of frank mammary tumors. No toxicity was evident in these rats even at the highest d-limonene dose.

Inhibition by d-limonene of gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in Wistar rats
-These findings indicate that limonene inhibits the development of gastric cancers through increased apoptosis and decreased DNA synthesis of gastric cancers, but not through ras oncoprotein plasma membrane association.

Cannabis and cancer treatments, a very promising field. As we have personal friends that have used cannabis to heal, we are believers. But there are many factors that play a part, and they might not be the same from person to person.

"....Cannabinoids were able to effectively
modulate tumor growth in different in vitro and in vivo cancer models, however, these anticancer
effects appears to be dependent on cancer type and drug dose....."
