Cannabis Oil In Israeli Autism Study Has 90% Success Rate!

Israeli medical cannabis firm, Tikun Olam, has completed autism clinical trial with CBD-rich Avidekel cannabis oil. The results are very hopeful for autism patients.

Media images of sick children taking cannabis oil brought medical cannabis to the mainstream. Often, the most extreme cases made the biggest impacts—Charlotte Figi, Alyssa Erwin, Haleigh Cox. While most families will never endure the trials of caring for a child with Dravet syndrome, brain cancer, or cerebral palsy, one condition could hit close to home: autism. Fortunately, the Avidekel chemovar by Tikun Olam is proven effective in treating symptoms of autism in recent clinical trial.

How Monsanto shuts down your kidneys, liver, brain, and immune system

A recently released “state of the science” review by the Pesticide Action Network International (PAN) contains a wealth of research that documents the adverse environmental and human health impacts of glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides.  The review’s findings emphasize the need for these compounds to be permanently phased out.

Health and environmental advocates say the monopoly on what has become the world’s most-used herbicide – which is the primary ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup – ought to be a wake-up call for governments, regulatory agencies and farmers around the world who use it.

Chemotherapy Side Effects: Cannabinoids and CBD Research Overview

Chemotherapy can cause several, sometimes debilitating, side effects. Studies have shown cannabinoids can make the adverse effects more manageable.

Chemotherapy is a category of cancer treatment that uses strong drugs, administered orally or intravenously.

There are more than 100 chemotherapy drugs that are used in the treatment of cancer. The drugs prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body, slow the growth of tumors, and kill cancer cells.




While chemotherapy can be effective against cancer, it does cause sometimes-serious side effects.

Overview of Chemotherapy Side Effects

The side effects from chemotherapy develop because the chemotherapy drugs that attack cancerous cells also damage normal, healthy cells. Common side effects associated with chemotherapy are fever and chills, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, sore mouth, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite that can lead to anorexia, pain or difficulty with swallowing, swelling in the hands or feet, itching, shortness of breath, cough, and muscle or joint pain.

Individuals undergoing chemotherapy won’t necessarily experience all side effects and the severity of the side effects varies greatly from person to person. Most side effects will gradually go away after completion of the treatment.

Effects of Cannabinoids and CBD on Chemotherapy Side Effects

Cannabinoids have shown to effectively reduce the nausea and vomiting that often occurs during and after chemotherapy treatments. Studies have found that one of the major cannabinoids found in cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), is effective at treating the more difficult to control symptoms of nausea, as well as preventing anticipatory nausea in chemotherapy patients. Another study found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another major cannabinoid found in cannabis, is also effective at reducing conditioned rejection and chemotherapy-induced nausea.

CBD Terpenes: Their Role and What They Are

In the world of CBD, we speak and write often about the compounds that naturally occur in the industrial hemp plant, like cannabinoids and terpenes. But what are CBD terpenes, and what is their role?

We know that cannabinoids like cannabidiol interact with the human endocannabinoid system (ECS).

The ECS brings homeostasis to the body when it’s properly nourished.

Terpenes, on the other hand, are potent chemical compounds that give plants their aromas, colors, and flavors. They’re produced by most plants and even some animals, such as termites and swallowtail butterflies.

Cannabinoids in Breast Milk & The major influence of cannabinoid receprtors during pre- and postnatal development

A research indicates that the human body has in fact evolved to both produce and utilize its own cannabinoids.

It comes as no surprise that these endogenous compounds are transferred to the infant via cannabinoids in breast milk. If the body naturally has cannabinoid receptors it stands to reason that it must then produce its own cannabinoids.According to the findings of several major scientific studies, human mothers naturally produce cannabinoids in breast milk and furthermore these cannabinoids are vital for proper infant development. They are classified as a specific type of neuromodulatory lipid. 

"one of the main functions of these cannabinoids in cannabis breast milk is to help a newborn child to feed by stimulating the suckling process".

The medical implications of these developments are far reaching and suggest a promising future for cannabinoids in paediatric medicine for conditions including ‘non-organic failure-to-thrive’ and cystic fibrosis.

Human breast milk has been traditionally considered sterile; however, recent studies have shown that along with the cannabinoids in breast milk, it also contains and supplies a completely natural cocktail of probiotic bacteria (commensal and mutualistic) to the infant gut.

Along with stimulating your babies feeding response these compounds also protect the infant against infections and contribute to the maturation of the immune system, among many other yet to be scientifically proven functions. 

Without cannabinoids in cannabis breast milk, infants would not be stimulated with a desire to feed. Observations of how babies act after being fed show that they exhibit symptoms of cannabinoid use.

Another research suggests that the endogenous cannabinoids ("endocannabinoids") and their cannabinoid receptors have a major influence during pre- and postnatal development. 

-High levels of the endocannaboid anandamide and cannabinoid receptors are present in the preimplantation embryo and in the uterus, while a temporary reduction of anandamide levels is essential for embryonal implantation. In women accordingly, an inverse association has been reported between fatty acid amide hydrolase (the anandamide degrading enzyme) in human lymphocytes and miscarriage.

-CB(1) receptors display a transient presence in white matter areas of the pre- and postnatal nervous system, suggesting a role for CB(1) receptors in brain development. 

-Endocannabinoids have been detected in maternal milk and activation of CB(1) receptors appears to be critical for milk sucking by newborn mice, apparently activating oral-motor musculature. Fourth, anandamide has neuroprotectant properties in the developing postnatal brain.


-Prenatal exposure to the active constituent of marihuana (Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol) or to anandamide affects prefrontal cortical functions, memory and motor and addictive behaviors, suggesting a role for the endocannabinoid CB(1) receptor system in the brain structures which control these functions.
