POST REGISTER PRINTS ARTICLE ON CBD

Recently, the Idaho Falls Post Register published an article on CBD and the stores that offer CBD products. The article written by Sally Krutzig, appeared in the East Idaho Business Journal. The article was informative and presented CBD as beneficial to those who suffer from pain, insomnia, and anxiety. The article presented facts and refrained from hyperbole and scare tactics that can often accompany articles about CBD and other cannabis related products.

CBD WILL SOMEDAY BE MAINSTREAM.

As consumers have more occasion to read rational and informative articles on CBD, they will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing CBD and whether or not it is the right solution for their particular ailment. Kudos to Ms. Krutzig and the Post Register for their willingness to inform their readers.

CBD HELPS TO RELIEVE MANY AILMENTS

CBD is continuing to amaze those who research and study its many benefits to the human populace. New uses are coming to light at an increasing frequency as the research continues. We are discovering new uses for CBD on a regular basis and will undoubtedly discover more as the research delves into new areas. As outlined in this blog, CBD has been found to aid in cancer treatments, allowing chemotherapy drugs to be directed to the cancer cells rather than throughout the entire body. CBD has shown to have antibiotic properties as well. There are many more areas where CBD can have a beneficial impact.

THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF CBD USE

2018 STUDY

In a study published in 2018 on the PMC US National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health web page, the demographics of CBD use was examined. Part of the results of the study concluded: “CBD is well tolerated in humans and maintains a good safety profile. Neither abuse nor dependence has been demonstrated. In preclinical studies, CBD shows potential therapeutic efficacy against a diverse assortment of medical conditions. These include seizure disorders, psychotic symptoms, anxiety, depression, inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration, symptoms of multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain, either used alone or when coadministered with THC.”

WHO USES CBD?

The demographics of the study are diverse. Out of the 2409 respondents, the majority were in the US and represented all 50 states, with a majority of the US respondents located in California. In addition, 23 countries were also represented. The sample was balanced on gender with 50.87% male and 47.40% female. The difference was those who didn’t answer that question. Most were either graduates of, or currently enrolled in, college or a postgraduate program (71.22%)

WHY THEY ARE USING CBD

The study reported:

“There were 1483 respondents who reported using CBD to treat at least one medical condition. A minimum of 3963 medical conditions were reported. This represents an average of more than two and a half (mean: 2.67) different medical conditions per respondent.

In order of frequency, the top three medical conditions reported were chronic pain, arthritis/joint pain, and anxiety.” We can ascertain from this report that the majority of people are using CBD to treat existing medical conditions, in fact, more than 60% (61.56%) used CBD for existing conditions versus for general health.

CAN CBD HELP YOU?

Chances are that if you are suffering from chronic pain, anxiety or depression, insomnia, or many of the other medical conditions reported by the study, you may find some relief by using CBD.

CBD MAY HELP WITH PSYCHOSIS

PATIENTS SHOWED REDUCTION IN SYMPTOMS

In a recent article written by Philip Mcguire, Professor of Psychiatry, King’s College London on the site, The Conversation, he stated that, “Psychiatric patients treated with a substance found in cannabis, cannabidiol, showed a significant reduction in psychotic symptoms and were also more likely to be rated as “improved” by their psychiatrist, our latest study shows.”

SYMPTOMS USUALLY BEGIN IN EARLY ADULTHOOD

These Psychotic disorders affect two to three per cent of the population. The symptoms can be lifelong with patients typically experiencing paranoia, hallucinations and a lack of motivation.

TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS HAVE SIGNIFICANT SIDE EFFECTS

Since the 1950s, the treatment for psychosis has been antipsychotic drugs. They are usually effective, but in about a third of patients, they don’t work at all. They also have significant side effects in most all patients who take them.

NEW TREATMENT WITH CBD

The study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, was the first placebo-controlled clinical trial of CBD in patients with psychosis. Eighty-eight patients with psychosis were given either CBD or a placebo for six weeks along with their existing anti-psychotic medication.

There was a reduction in symptoms in the patients treated with CBD and the rate of possible side effects in patients given CBD was no more than in patients who were given the placebo.

MORE STUDIES NEEDED

We need to have more studies to determine exactly how CBD helps those suffering with psychosis and to know the efficacy of this treatment. Yet, this study gives hope for the possibility of a CBD treatment without the harsh and significant side effects of current drugs used for treatment.

THE GIFT OF HEALTH

GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH

The theme of Eden Organics this Christmas season has been “Give the gift of health.” We feel that good health is vital to everyone’s happiness. Certainly, without good health, life can be very difficult and worrisome. Helping people with their health struggles is one of the major reasons Eden Organics was founded.

CBD CAN BE AN AID TO A HEALTHY LIFE.

I have read many studies indicating that CBD has a positive impact on a variety of health issues that people can suffer from. It is not the purpose of this blog post to detail all the many ways CBD can benefit our health and, eventually, our happiness. If we have someone in our lives who suffer from some of the many maladies that CBD can have a positive impact on, we could give them a gift of health by giving them the gift of CBD.

RELIEF COULD BE JUST AROUND THE CORNER

If someone in your life has difficulty sleeping, CBD may help. Muscular or joint aches and pains can bring a lot of misery. CBD has shown in studies to have a positive impact on aches and pains as well as inflammation. Anxiety can cause many difficulties in our life. There are a lot of studies indicating CBD can help with anxiety. If you have anyone in your life with these health issues, you could include CBD as one of your presents to them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

We at Eden Organics would like to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS. We hope it is a happy and healthy one.
