How Can CBD Help Reduce The Chance Of Catching Corona virus?
Whether someone catches Corona virus or not has a lot to do with the correct functioning of one's immune system. The immune system ensures that our body is protected against viruses, bacteria and many other unwanted intruders that can make us sick. Thus, the chance of catching the virus and getting sick can be reduced by ensuring our immune system is functioning optimally.
Amidst the turmoil caused by this devastating disease, two natural compounds have risen as a possible help to fight the virus. CBD and CBG. What is CBD and CBG, and how can they help to prevent or fight Corona virus?
So far, it’s known that CBG helps to strengthen the immune system, and its most important trait is that it seems to potentially have antibacterial properties, particularly for MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of staphylococcus infection, resistant to a common antibiotic known as methicillin. This bacterial infection is very health-threatening, and can even be fatal. But some studies have shown that CBG could potentially treat that bacteria as well as others that are resistant to traditional antibiotics. While Covid-19 is a virus and certainly not a bacteria, the potential property of CBG to treat resistant organisms and its properties to protect the immune system make it a promising candidate to fight Corona virus.

CBD closely works with the body’s “endocannabinoid system.” This is a system built in our bodies that is responsible for many important processes, including the regulation of our immune system. The endocannabinoid system can be considered as the control system for our body.
To ensure that both our endocannabinoid system and our immune system are in optimal balance, the consumption of CBD is recommended.
A study in the United States also shows CBD reduces cytokine storms.
At the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, researchers have “early evidence” that CBD may help patients with corona virus-related respiratory distress avoid “extreme interventions like mechanical ventilation as well as death from acute respiratory distress syndrome,” according to Science Daily.
Dr. Jack Yu, a physician-scientist and co-author of the study, said the research so far shows pure CBD can help lungs recover from the inflammation caused by a cytokine storm and restore healthier oxygen levels.
Between 30 percent and 50 percent of people who require ventilation do not survive, making the quest to find a better treatment for lung inflammation, a key to reducing deaths related to the virus.
As these studies continue, the FDA also has given the green light for a phase-1 clinical study using a synthetic cannabis product called ARDS-003. This injectable drug binds to receptors in the endocannabinoid system like cannabis does, and may also reduce lung inflammation. The study started in September, 2020.
