What cannabidiol treats (CBD), and why everyone talks about it

The history of cannabidiol (CBD) began with Healing a five-year-old girl from Colorado, Charlotte Figi, who, with the help of CBD in 2010, almost got rid of epilepsy attacks (before that attacks happened many times during each day), while none of the existing drugs could help her.

Since then, stories about solving problems with chronic pain or depression - and even about overcoming diabetes with the help of CBD and various manifestations of oncology - have begun to appear almost every hour.

As a result, in the ranking of the most frequent GOOGLE requests, CBD took 3-e place at the end of last year, and in the opinion of VOGUE magazine, cannabidiol has become the most discussed topic of healthy lifestyles and the current 2019 year will pass under the sign of CBD.

Как co-founder and CEO of Nutraceutical Bio Hemp, Inc (NBHemp), I completely understand why this is happening. Literally every day our customers share their stories, which I would hardly have believed two years ago. For me and myself, cannabidiol helped me get rid of migraines, which once became a monthly nightmare for me. In normal life, I run, swim, and ride a bike. But these days I was even ready for a lobotomy... A month after the first use of cannabidiol, my migraine recurred, but the pain was no longer severe. Then - that's it! The pain has not returned! That's how I became a believer in CBD. And now Nurofen, paracetamol, and any painkillers have disappeared from the home medicine cabinet.

For your information: Located in San Diego (California), Nutraceutical Bio Hemp, Inc. (NBHemp ™) was created by 2015. The company is engaged in innovative developments in the field of natural (organic) alternatives to synthetic drugs. The distribution of the company's products goes through medical offices in the USA, Mexico and Spain. In December, the company launched online sales through a website. www.nbhemp.com.

Among our customers are those who have coped with depression, sleep problems, chronic and arthritic pains. Also, a large number of feedback comes from parents of children with autism or epilepsy, who see how the state of children is changing for the better. We recently received a call from a family with such a child. After taking CBD, his condition changed so much that for the first time they decided to spend the whole family day at Disneyland.

Me now almost every day we have to answer the growing number of questions from members of the Facebook group, like a snowballCBD TODAY: Sharing Experience». This prompted me to write an article to try to answer the most frequently asked questions.

Surely, it will not be possible to give all the answers in this material, but any reader who has questions can ask them in the comments or at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2132619753672073/

I will try to answer all.

Why is CBD quickly gaining popularity?

The authors of materials analyzing the scientific and medical side of the issue recognize that the discovery endocannabinoid system (ECS) was the most significant event of the 21st century in the study of human physiology, and the results of ongoing clinical trials each day bring new evidence of the therapeutic potential of cannabidiol in areas where no solutions existed before.

However, most people still treat cannabidiol very wary, as they mistakenly continue to perceive CBD as an exotic type of marijuana.

So what is this beast?

The most common question is: is CBD the same as marijuana?

Answer: No.

Today, cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 400 cannabinoids found in hemp (before 2014, 85 cannabinoids were known and described, in 2015 - already 113, in 2016 - about 280).

Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not have a psychoactive effect (that is, it cannot cause the effect of narcotic intoxication) and does not produce dependence (addiction) at any doses and periods of use.

The only “sin” of cannabidiol (CBD) is that it is extracted from the “bad” plant, hemp. But about a year ago, publications appeared that CBD can also be obtained from other plant sources, for example from Humulus lupulus (common hops) and Línum usitatíssimum (flax seed), which can completely remove the issue of any cannabidiol (CBD) associations with marijuana.

By the way, NBHemp uses CBD, obtained from industrial hemp, and produces products with a guaranteed zero content of THC (THC free). This is especially important for those who regularly have a drag test.

What are the possible benefits from taking CBD?

The properties of CBD as a natural analgesic are completely unique.

Cannabidiol adherents claim that it helps to cope with anxiety, depression and diffuse focusing, chronic pain - problems that most people are accustomed to solve with pills or alcohol, reconciling with those side effects and consequences that can lead to alcohol and pills.

A study conducted by the Brightfield Group analyzed the use of CBD for chronic pain management based on a survey of 2400 people. 42% of CBD users said they stopped using traditional pain relievers such as Tylenol and Vicodin (prescription only). 80% found CBD to be “very or extremely effective.”

As part of a survey organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada)66% cannabidiol is used in Canada for the treatment of this disease.

One of the first benefits CBD was estimated by people who regularly play sports. Receiving CBD relieved them of the discomfort associated with muscle pain, pain in the joints and ligaments caused by excessive exercise or age-related changes (less adaptability to stress), so quite often CBD can be found in sports bars.

The range of cannabidiol use (CBD) looks very impressive, it showed its effectiveness with:

• migraines;
• sleep disorders;
• depressions and panic attacks;
• chronic and neuropathic pains;
• arthritis pain;
• diabetes;
• autism and pharmacoresistant epilepsy;
• oncology;
• nicotine addiction;
• Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

In numerous publications and TV interviews every day you can find stories about people with whom CBD made life easier or helped to cope with conditions in which other drugs were ineffective.

Already, quite a few physicians recommend that their patients substitute synthetic drugs for CBD in order to get away from the problems of side effects, addiction, and dependence inherent in most traditional medicines.

NBHemp works with practitioners in Nevada, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Arizona, Massachusetts and California. In addition, we even receive orders from such exotic countries as Japan, Peru, Thailand, the Philippines, and Angola.

Another of the most frequently asked questions: how legal is this?

At its meeting in November 2017, the World Health Organization Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (KELZ) concluded that in its pure form, cannabidiol does not have the potential for abuse and does not cause harm, unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

14 December 2017 World Health Organization officially recommended exclude cannabidiol (CBD) from international lists of controlled substances.

Summer 2018, WADA (International Anti-Doping Agency) ruled out CBD from the list of prohibited substances, while recognizing its exceptional properties in the rehabilitation of microtraumas and traumatic inflammations.

December 20 2018 of the US Congress at the legislative level ruled out industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances. And despite some confusion in the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) positions, cannabis-derived CBD products can be purchased without a prescription and even online in most parts of the United States ( 50 states) as if they were nutritional supplements.

How safe is CBD?

Over the past 30-40 years has been held more xnumx original clinical studies in the USA, Great Britain, Israel, Switzerland, etc., confirming the safety of CBD. This is expressed in the absence of significant “side effects” (during the research, no statistically significant contraindications, allergies or negative reactions were recorded, including for people with chronic diseases or in combination with various medications).

Cannabidiol (CBD) has a positive effect on the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which, as a result, begins to more actively restore order in the body, adjusting homeostasis (optimal balance for functioning) at the cellular level, and ultimately affects the manifestations of diseases and problems caused by nervous activities, endocrine disruption, inflammatory processes, immune disorders, etc.

With the recommended NBHemp intake of 35-50 mg CBD per day, long-term use, even with extremely high doses (up to 1500 mg per day), has repeatedly demonstrated no overdose effect.

These are just a few of the questions that constantly arise regarding the use of cannabidiol. The scope of this article does not allow us to cover them in more detail. However, you can leave all your questions and comments here or in the Facebook group "CBD TODAY: Sharing our experience".
