This is great news for little Amylea Nunez and I am very happy for her and her family but I wondered, what does this mean for my health?
Every day something promising is being reported on the medicinal effects of #hemp, in particular #CBD. In the last 20 years 20,991 articles on cannabis and cannabinoids, or an average of more than two scientific publications per day have been published.
We marvel at the extraordinary discoveries about #cannabis but how exactly does that help those of us who don't have extraordinary conditions?
If you haven't yet heard about your #endocannabinoid system (ECS) you're about to learn why the whole #hemp movement truly matters to you and me personally.
What Is The Endocannabinoid System?
The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.
Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular, to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond. Here's one example: autophagy, a process in which a cell sequesters part of its contents to be self-digested and recycled, is mediated by the cannabinoid system. While this process keeps normal cells alive, allowing them to maintain a balance between the synthesis, degradation, and subsequent recycling of cellular products, it has a deadly effect on malignant tumor cells, causing them to consume themselves in a programmed cellular suicide. The death of cancer cells, of course, promotes homeostasis and survival at the level of the entire organism.
Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids are also found at the intersection of the body's various systems, allowing communication and coordination between different cell types. At the site of an injury, for example, cannabinoids can be found decreasing the release of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, stabilizing the nerve cell to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances. Three different mechanisms of action on three different cell types for a single purpose: minimize the pain and damage caused by the injury.
The endocannabinoid system, with its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body's organs, is literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system we begin to see a mechanism that explains how states of consciousness can promote health or disease.
In addition to regulating our internal and cellular homeostasis, cannabinoids influence a person's relationship with the external environment. Socially, the administration of cannabinoids clearly alters human behavior, often promoting sharing, humor, and creativity. By mediating neurogenesis, neuronal plasticity, and learning, cannabinoids may directly influence a person's open-mindedness and ability to move beyond limiting patterns of thought and behavior from past situations. Reformatting these old patterns is an essential part of health in our quickly changing environment.
When you become aware that cannabis is our #PartnerPlant and supports a system vital to our health and general well-being, it then becomes a bit easier to recognize that cannabis and its constituent compounds are suppose to be part of what we consume regularly. Regardless of what form you ingest #cannabinoids, you are nurturing a part of our body that has been neglected since the prohibition of #marijuana in 1937.
The National Institutes of Health have published a study on Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) and concluded "subsequent research has confirmed that underlying endocannabinoid deficiencies indeed play a role in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and a growing list of other medical conditions."
It is for all that you have read above and the understanding that comes with this knowledge that I have reached out to +Carolina Hemp Company and asked them how we can support little Miss Amylea Nunez as well the rest of us who could also benefit from adding CBD products to our lives.
Brian Bullman (+Carolina Hemp Company) and +Brian Morris have offered an interesting way to both help Amylea and her family offset some of their expenses to acquire CBD from Colorado and offer a small reward for those who wish to purchase CBD products for themselves.
Use promo code: hope10 at www.CarolinaHempCompany.com and "The Brians" said they will take 10% off the price of any order. The customer will get half of the discount and the other half will be sent directly to the Nunez's to support Amylea's treatment.
Please consider sharing this story and the promo code and let’s see what this little campaign can do to help both support a lovely little girl and fuel the #HempRevolution.
