Dr. Corinne: Everything You Need to Know about Amazing CBD; My Aunt, Olivia Newton-John Uses It and is Doing Well!If you've been hearing amazing things about CBD and are wondering whether you would benefit from it, this article—which explains everything, from the difference between hemp and marijuana to the list of ailments it may treat—is for you.
I have also read that in Exodus 30:22-31, the Holy Anointing Oil recipe actually had Cannabis in it but was mistranslated as Calamus (a poison and the root of the illegal drug known as Ecstasy) or sweet cane depending the version. You can read more about that here: Modern CBD history began in 1946 when Dr. Walter S. Loewe conducted the first CBD test on lab animals. The tests were performed to prove that CBD doesn't cause an altered mental state. Further research continued in the 1960s on primates, and finally, the first CBD oil meant for therapeutic use was released by the British Pharmacopoeia. The research continued over the next few decades. Another discovery was made in 1980 by Dr. Mechoulam who ran a study which showed cannabidiol could be a critical factor in treating epilepsy. The stigma surrounding CBD is starting to disappear as the benefits are finally beginning to be understood. CBD supplements made from industrial hemp are legal in all 50 states, in the UK, and many other countries around the world. Scientists are still researching CBD and conducting experiments that reveal its beneficial uses.
By the way, Oliva is thriving and doing well!! What's the difference between hemp and marijuana? One question many people often ask is "what's the difference between hemp and marijuana?" Let's take a look ... To understand the differences between hemp and marijuana, I'll start by discussing cannabis. Cannabis is a plant family that includes many species such as hemp and marijuana. Although they come from the same plant family, they have distinctly different purposes and uses. Here's an example, cabbage and turnips are both different vegetables, however, they both belong to a plant family called The Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae) family. Hemp and industrial hemp refer to the strain of cannabis plant that is grown for agricultural products such as textiles, seeds, and oils. Industrial regulation restricts THC yield greater than 0.3% (more on TCH coming up). Marijuana, on the other hand, is known for its flowering plant tops. The flowers are bred to contain high THC content. The average content of THC contained in marijuana is about 10%, and plants are illegal to grow without proper licensing in participating states. Today, there are two simple distinctions between hemp and marijuana: HEMP: A non-psychoactive plant primarily for use in clothing, paper, biofuels, bioplastics, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and personal care products, and foods. Hemp is cultivated outdoors as a large crop with both male and female plants being present to foster pollination and increase seed production. MARIJUANA—Cannabis sativa is specially cultivated to enhance its THC content to be used for medicinal or recreational purposes. Marijuana plants are typically grown indoors, under controlled conditions, and growers remove all the male plants from the crop to prevent fertilization since fertilization lowers the plant's THC level. CANNABINOID [kuh-nab-uh-noid]—Cannabinoids are chemical compounds which include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis. At least 113 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the cannabis plant. The best-studied cannabinoids include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN). THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Some of the therapeutic qualities of THC include pain relief, relaxation, appetite stimulation, and insomnia. CBD, or Cannabidiol, is present in many strains of cannabis at low levels. Some of the popular uses of CBD include relief from chronic muscle pain, convulsions, and inflammation. CBN, or Cannabinol, is usually formed when THC is exposed to UV light and oxygen over time. CBN has some psychoactive properties, but not nearly the level of THC. Our body's Endocannabinoid System You may be surprised to learn that there is a system in our bodies comprised of receptors that interact exclusively with cannabinoids like CBD. It's known as the Endocannabinoid System, and it is the reason we benefit from CBD. The Endocannabinoid System is made up of a network of receptors and was discovered in the late 1990s. CBD bonds with our body's CB1 and CB2 receptors, helping to maintain vital health functions and restore the homeostasis, or balance, within the body. CBD Oil functions Researchers still have a lot to learn about the benefits of using CBD oil. So far, preliminary studies have indicated that CBD may: - Inhibit tumor growth, making chemotherapy more effective without harming healthy cells and tissues - Relieve pain and inflammation, including chronic pain and cancer pain - Reduce nausea and vomiting - Lessen anxiety - Improve quality of sleep - Fight viruses and viral infections - Relieve the muscle spasms of multiple sclerosis CBD has also shown remarkable potential in research studies for its ability to: - Lower convulsions, anxiety, inflammation, and nausea - Lessen the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia - Reduce or prevent metastasis in breast cancer and other types of cancers Important facts about CBD
I don't have time to discuss ALL the conditions, so I'll review a few. Here's a link to research the rest. Treatment for anxiety, depression According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders affect more than 18 percent of the population. According to the World Health Organization, depression is the single most significant contributor to disability worldwide, while anxiety disorders are ranked sixth. More and more people are turning to CBD as a natural alternative to prescribed medications which cause adverse side effects. According to a survey published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research in 2018, almost 62 percent of cannabidiol users reported that they used CBD to treat a medical condition, with the top three conditions being pain, anxiety, and depression. A report published in the journal Neurotherapeutics in 2015, scientists analyzed this preliminary research and found that CBD oil shows promise in the acute treatment of conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. A small study published in Neuropsychopharmacology in 2011 determined that CBD may help alleviate social anxiety. Researchers believe that CBD's ability to act on the endocannabinoid system and other brain signaling systems may provide benefits for those with neurological disorders. One of the most studied uses for CBD is in treating neurological disorders, like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. CBD has also been researched for its potential effectiveness in treating several other neurological diseases: -For example, several studies have shown that treatment with CBD improved quality of life and sleep quality for people with Parkinson's disease. -In one long-term study, researchers gave CBD to mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's disease, finding that it helped prevent cognitive decline. High blood pressure is linked to higher risks of many health conditions, including stroke, heart attack, and metabolic syndrome. Recent research has linked CBD with several benefits for the heart and circulatory system, including the ability to lower high blood pressure. Researchers have suggested that the stress and anxiety-reducing properties of CBD are responsible for its ability to help lower blood pressure. Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis have been the subject of many studies regarding CBD and pain relief. CBD oil has steadily gained popularity as a natural approach to pain relief. It's thought that CBD oil might help ease chronic pain in part by reducing inflammation. Common types of chronic pain include: Cancer pain Fibromyalgia Headaches Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Low back pain Migraines Multiple sclerosis pain Neuropathic pain Osteoarthritis Temporomandibular disorder (often referred to as "TMJ") Don't worry, it's not addictive and you won't get "The Munchies" on CBD While THC increases appetite, CBD has the opposite effect. Let's take a look... A 2017 review of scientific literature regarding CBD found that weight loss was a common side effect when it was used to treat seizures in people and reduced food intake and weight gain in rats. More research is needed to understand weight loss benefits; however, this is an exciting potential use as weight gain and obesity are considered the cause of many different chronic diseases. There are many different types of CBD products available, determining how to use CBD oil first starts with choosing your route of administration. There are three categories of CBD oil products:
Ingestibles offer the most variety: -Liquid hemp oil, like CBD tinctures or CBD drops -CBD concentrated into a thick paste (often referred to as Rick Simpson Oil or RSO) -Encapsulated CBD oil -Phytocannabinoid-rich sprays/spritzers (generally designed for application beneath the tongue) -Bottled water containing nano-sized CBD particles -CBD-infused chewing gum -On-the-go dissolvable powders containing CBD (frequently blended with other adaptogenic herbs) -Cooking oils (such as coconut oil or olive oil) with added cannabinoids -CBD-infused edibles (i.e., gummies, brownies, cookies, etc.; generally for individuals who are sensitive to smoking/vaping) Now that you know what research has found regarding the benefits of UBD oil use, you can consider if your health can benefit from the use of CBD oil. Check out this chart of illnesses/conditions that may be relieved by CBD: Acne ADHD Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Anxiety Bacterial Infections Broken Bones Depression Diabetes Dyskinesia Epilepsy Heart Disease Inflammation Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Mad Cow Disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Nausea Pain (neuropathic, chronic, etc.) Parkinson's Psoriasis Rheumatoid Arthritis Schizophrenia Substance Abuse/Withdrawal But how much do I take? Figuring out how much CBD oil to take can feel like trying to navigate through a complicated maze. When determining how much CBD oil to take, there are certain factors to consider:
Even when taking the above factors into account, there's no one-size-fits-all dosage. Some degree of trial and error may be needed before finding the correct amount for your needs. Let's start with product concentration. The concentration amount per dose may not be listed and can vary quite a bit from product to product. Products should have the total amount of CBD listed. To determine the concentration, divide the total amount of CBD (in mg) by the volume of the container (in ounces). For example, to determine the concentration of a 4-ounce bottle with 1,500mg CBD divide mg by ounces: 1,500 / 4 = 375 This bottle provides 375mg of CBD per ounce Where to start with dosage: OPTION 1 -- A good rule of thumb to determine your proper CBD dosage is to take 1-6mg of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight based on the individual's level of pain. Consider your pain level, using 1-2mg for mild pain, 3-4mg for medium pain, and 5-6mg for severe pain. OPTION 2 -- Another suggested dose is 25mg twice a day, increasing the amount of CBD you take every 3-4 weeks by 25mg until you attain symptom relief. Mayo Clinic suggests CBD dosages based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, and expert opinion. The following suggested dosage recommendations from Mayo Clinic for various illnesses include: -Chronic Pain: 2.5-20mg of CBD -Epilepsy: 200-300mg of CBD daily. -Movement Problems Due to Huntington's Disease: 10mg of CBD per kg of body weight daily for six weeks. -Sleep Disorders: 40mg-160mg of CBD. -Multiple Sclerosis (MS) symptoms: Cannabis plant extracts containing 2.5-120 milligrams of CBD daily for 2-15 weeks. -Schizophrenia: 40-1,280mg oral CBD daily. -Glaucoma: A single sublingual CBD dosage of 20-40mg. CBD oil, tinctures, and extracts work best using the following tips. Drops or tinctures should have a suggested serving size and the total milligrams of CBD listed on the packaging. Once you determine the dosage you want, you can determine the amount of CBD you would like to ingest. Simply place the correct quantity of drops under your tongue using the dropper and hold the CBD oil in place for a minimum of 60 seconds before swallowing. This allows for absorption via the blood vessels underneath your tongue. Be sure and check with your doctor if ... Know that there is no established lethal dose of CBD and chronic use has been repeatedly shown to be well tolerated by humans. As with any natural product, it is essential to speak with your physician before beginning use.
Being active and eating a diet rich in DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) might increase the effects of CBD. Those under high levels of chronic stress would potentially need higher CBD oil dosage to achieve the same effects obtained by people who are not chronically stressed. Remember to always consult your doctor before changing any medications or combining CBD with current prescriptions. In many cases CBD is effective alongside conventional methods of treatment; however, it's always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health.

Many people assume that CBD (cannabidiol found in Cannabis plants) is a new and innovative supplement, however, CBD has a rich history. Roger Adams, a chemistry professor at the University of Illinois first discovered CBD in the 1940s. Adams separated CBD oil from the hemp plant to study its properties and found it had many benefits.

My uncle John Easterling has been studying the plant for years and has dedicated his life and career to healing plants and botanical medicines. Oliva Newton-John, my aunt, and him have been fighting to get this plant to everyone who needs it. She shares her wonderful testimony on Dr. Oz's show and even mentions my name at 3:50 in the video.
