CBD: An Alternate Treatment Option for Alzheimer’s Disease

For thousands of year’s medical cannabis or CBD has been used throughout the world to treat or aid the symptoms of several diseases.

The good news is CBD doesn’t just fight cancer… but it is helping to fight another disease - Alzheimer’s.
 

“A preclinical study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that very small doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a chemical found in marijuana, can slow the production of beta-amyloid proteins, thought to be a hallmark characteristic and key contributor to the progression of Alzheimer’s.”

The usage of medical marijuana is controversial in the medical community. CBD has shown promising results for many people in the field of healthcare. But before you add medical cannabis to Alzheimer’s therapy, you can visit medical marijuana dispensaries, San Francisco, for a safe and promising treatment option. 



What is Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer’s is an amyloid plaque buildup, or calcium builds up in your brain that blocks the neurotransmitter’s ability to communicate to the rest of the body. The more your brain tries to get rid of the plaque, the buildup gets worse. When an Alzheimer’s patient ingests CBD or medical cannabis, it works as an agitator to break up the plaque or calcification.
“The study, published in 2014, is among others to support the effectiveness of THC in prohibiting the growth of toxic amyloid plagues.”

Once your brain stops creating plaque, the plaque buildup breaks down. But CBD helps to restore the communication between the neural synapses, and the rest of the body.

Patients with Alzheimer's are recommended 30mg of CBD a day for six weeks. The dose can help to saturate your body with CBD to the point that it starts making more CB1 and CB2 receptors for the newly ingested CBD.
 
If you or someone you know have Alzheimer’s? You can talk to cannabis experts by visiting medical marijuana dispensaries, San Francisco, through WeedinSF.

Many researchers have explored medical marijuana, and studies are focusing their efforts on the effects of medical marijuana on Alzheimer's treatment and symptoms.

If you talk about the most addictive drug, then the answer of most of the people is marijuana. Do you know the reason? In my opinion, you definitely not know the reason. So the answer is that marijuana leaves are psychoactive in nature and that's why drug addicts use those for intoxication purposes. Drug addicts were not aware of its side-effects like consuming marijuana above a certain  limit makes one unconscious or even could result in death. They were continuously using it and that's why many of them had lost their lives. When the government came to know this, it banned the use of marijuana. The ban stayed for several years and some years later, it was found in the research that marijuana plant's leaves possess medicinal properties and could be used for the treatment of fatal diseases such as cancer and AIDS.
