Another Study Indicating CBD Can Reduce Opioid Intake
 |
| A study on the potential role of hemp-derived cannabidiol as an
alternative to opioids for pain patients has indicated positive results. Dr Alex Capano, Chief Science Officer of Ecofibre’s Ananda Health business in the United States, led a study involving the use of cannabidiol (CBD) to reduce the use of opioids in the treatment of chronic pain. 97 patients who had been using opioids for managing chronic pain (some for decades) completed the 8-week study. Of the 94 patients who added Ananda full spectrum hemp extract to their treatment, 53% reduced or eliminated their use of opioids and 94% reported improvements in quality of life (improvements in sleep, pain and/or mood). Of the three that didn’t use the CBD hemp extract, none reduced their opioid medication at any interval during the study. Less Is More With CBD?Participants were provided bottles containing 60 hemp-derived CBD soft gels (15 mg) at baseline, week 4 and week 8. While a small number of participants experienced side-effects, no significant adverse events were reportedAccording to Dr. Capano: “Most participants used a relatively low dose of 30mg of CBD per day, whereas other studies on CBD have tested very large doses, 10x or 20x that amount,” he said. “Lower doses of CBD mean reduced risk of side effects and improved outcomes.” The study states its findings were “consistent with emerging literature on the topic, which has concluded that CBD is an effective analgesic, and one that helps reduce barriers to opioid reduction, such as physiological withdrawal symptoms.” It does note various limitations in the structure of its investigation including lack of a randomised, placebo-controlled design, short duration, lack of a control group, and relatively small sample size. The results of the study have been published in the Journal Postgraduate Medical and Hospital Practice and can be viewed here. Ecofibre (ASX: EOF), chaired by Barry Lambert, operates in the United States and Australia. In the USA, it manufactures nutraceutical products, topical creams and salves under the Ananda banner. In Australia, it produces hemp food products including protein powders, de-hulled hemp seed and hempseed oil through Ananda Food. Source |

Are Doctors and Nurses the New Secret Police? The Unholy Alliance with DCS
in this video, Patriot Nurse discusses the disturbing trend of politically weaponized healthcare.

Recently, a class action lawsuit was filed against Illinois Child and Family Services on behalf of families whose children were unrighteously taken from them after they make informed choices to opt out of certain newborn procedures.

Up to 20,000 patients in the UK are to be given medical cannabis over a two-year period in an initiative that aims to create the largest body of evidence on the drug in Europe.
The move, to be unveiled on Thursday, is backed by one of the UK’s leading medical bodies and it is hoped it will persuade the NHS to prescribe the drug for a range of conditions.
Although medical cannabis was legalised in the UK a year ago, it remains unobtainable for many patients, according to campaigners.
The move, to be unveiled on Thursday, is backed by one of the UK’s leading medical bodies and it is hoped it will persuade the NHS to prescribe the drug for a range of conditions.
“Medical cannabis is still out of reach for far too many,” said Professor David Nutt from the independent scientific body Drug Science, the organisation behind the launch of Project Twenty21, which will see 20,000 patients supplied with subsidised cannabis products by the end of 2021.
