Marijuana cannabinoids slow brain degradation and aging, reverse dementia: here's how

(NaturalNews) The human brain contains an extensive network of special receptor sites that modulate nervous system function only when activated by the appropriate cannabinoid compounds, many of which are found in abundance in the marijuana plant. And emerging research continues to uncover the unique role these cannabinoids play in protecting brain function, which in turn helps deter the aging process and even reverse the damaging effects of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia and cognitive abnormality.

One of the latest discoveries concerning cannabinoids involves their ability to act as antioxidants in the brain. Researchers from Germany found that the brain's cannabinoid system is fully capable of not only cleansing damaged brain cells from the brain, but also triggering the production of new brain cells within the brain, a concept that contradicts years of conventional thinking about how the brain works. Cannabinoids also supercharge mitochondria in the brain, which are the powerhouses of energy that maintain proper cell function.

Published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, these discoveries shed new insight on how natural marijuana cannabinoids hold the capacity to literally quell the brain inflammation responsible for causing cognitive decline, neural failure, and brain degeneration. By supplying these receptor sites with cannabinoids, patients may be able to overcome brain conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and many other conditions, not to mention premature brain aging, all conditions for which modern science has failed to find real solutions.

"I've been trying to find a drug that will reduce brain inflammation and restore cognitive function in rats for over 25 years; cannabinoids are the first and only class of drugs that have ever been effective," said Gary Wenk, a professor of neuroscience, immunology and medical genetics at Ohio State University (OSU) who helped with the research. "I think that the perception about this drug is changing and in the future people will be less fearful," he added, referencing the fact that marijuana is still viewed mostly negatively by many people.


Marijuana cannabinoids help restore the body's own natural cellular abilities
Ever since researchers first discovered the existence of cannabinoid receptor systems in rat brains back in 1988, independent scientists largely unconcerned with the stigma of marijuana have been gradually forming a piecemeal understanding of how the system works, and how cannabinoids can help prevent and reverse all sorts of chronic conditions that result from a lack of these important compounds. Today, marijuana research is moving forward more strongly than ever, and this taboo plant is finally receiving proper recognition as the medical "superfood" that it truly is.

"Cannabis actually goes upstream, it provides feedback from the postsynaptic nerve to the presynaptic nerve, which is unheard of in neural chemistry," explains Dr. William Courtney, founder of the Cannabis International Foundation (CIF), which is actively working to consolidate all available and relevant science on marijuana's medical uses for the purpose of promoting a reformation in health maintenance, restoration, and wellness around the world.

"The phytocannabinoids from this plant augment the body's attempt to restore an increased function to a normal level. So [marijuana cannabinoids] mimic the regulatory system of cellular physiology."

Well well well! It all started with William Randolph Hearst doing a hatchet job on it because in an effort to resist converting his paper mills to using canabis fibres instead of wood pulp. It was he who made the infamous propaganda film Reefer Madness and alleged it made black guys rape white women or something equally ridiculous. I think it's kept illegal for the benefit of the massively powerful pharmaceutical companies because it's a rival medicine to their unholy brews which people could simply grow themselves. Plus I think it's handy for the authorities to have it in the hands of criminals as its easier than the other drugs to detect because of the increased power use, heat signatures from heat lamps and potent odour, so helps lead them to where the dangerous drugs and weapon caches also are.

The DuPonts were also actively involved in repressing marijuana as well. Simply put, hemp and marijuana are excellent choices for fuel, clothing, food, medicine. At this time, these products are made with petrochemicals. The poisoners had to protect their money.

Please inform people about the bad effects of marijuana too. Please tell them the complete unbiased truth. Marijuana is not a food for us, and if it has medicinal benefits, it must not be consumed by the healthy, as in the healthy it will cause all the illnesses it is supposed to cure in the sick. People are supposed to be healthy with balanced nutrition and healthy lifestyle, not by the use of medicines whether these medicines are artificially-manufactured or naturally-found. Medicines can only harm us. This article is a great example of why you should not consume marijuana: it causes the numerous diseases in healthy people that it is supposed to cure in the sick ones. It is weird how people who tell about the harms of medicine come up to promote one; it is strange how people who can see into the depth become blind to the obvious: Here are all the effects of marijuana: http://homeoint.org/hering/c/cann-s-kn3.htm here is a list of long-term and short-term bad effects of marijuana http://www.drugfreeworld.org/drugfacts/ ... fects.html and here are just few of numerous scientific studies showing its bad effects http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/ ... 9.abstract http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/178/2/116.full http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d738 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... 73C.d03t01.

are those 'scientific studies' done by companies who have an itnerest in keeping MJ illegal? You always have to trace it back to whether it came from an unbiased resource and also check out who funded the study Vivake...Have you done that? I would really like to know so I can see whether its worth me waisting my time reading your reports.

One mother's comments:

"I know it's not the end all answer but it's been the best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication wondering if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes guaranteed." http://legacy.autism.com/treatable/drug ... na_org.htm

Vivek - as a young man - with a probably, limited understanding of the world & different cultures - & Sciences & Medicine - - it is easy to take a Naiive, simplistic position as regards Marijuana / Cannabis. (It is Dangerous -you say).

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing ! Remember that. And simplistic, suggestions, without knowing more -just quoting a particular reference is Biased & One -sided ! You must have been brought up to be a GOOD Boy by your mother. And that is laudable. But you probably haven''t seen much of the world - or grown up - in thought & spirit.

You probably haven't read a whole range of research on the properties & effects on many different categories of Users. I guess you do not understand Chemistry, Pharmacology and many sciences that have contributed to a modern understanding of Marijuana / Cannabis & its potential uses - Pluses & Minuses. There are many Ph.Ds & much research / technical research on the medical & medicinal uses potentially of Marijuana / Cannabis.

Yes - like anything - there are Pluses & Minuses - eg Alcohol consumption. The suggestions you make are a bit bizarre. Like a person entering a bordello for the first time - and getting scandalised & shocked ! Beyond his experience & Imagination !!

Read more - and Grow Up ...

MJ puts you in a different state of mind, it is a "mental" kind of addictive thing, they people who are doing it will think of any reason to justify themselves, because they have been decieved by it, and didnt know it! It is a MIND game! Only Jesus Christ can set them free, God loves everyone, but he allowed us freedom to choose between right and wrong, the Bible is the only reliable truth, and many have been saved by reading and obeying it !! Otherwise, you are doomed. Choose Life !! Choose Jesus today !!
