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.

CBD a powerful antibiotic

CANNABIDIOL (CBD) IS A POWERFUL NEW ANTIBIOTIC

An article published on Neuroscience News. Com reported that CBD is a powerful new antibiotic. I will use much of that article here. The research, led by Dr. Mark Blaskovich at the University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience’s Center for Superbug Solutions, in collaboration with Botanix Pharmaceuticals Ltd, found that CBD was remarkably effective at killing a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics.

CBD HAS A SIMILAR POTENCY TO ESTABLISHED ANTIBIOTICS

The new research indicates that CBD is active against infections such as Staphyloccocus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae and that it has a potency similar to that of established antibiotics such as vancomycin or daptomycin.

CBD RETAINS ITS POTENCY, UNLIKE OTHER ANTIBIOTICS

CBD was found to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics. In addition, CBD did not lose its effectiveness after extended treatment. The article states, the study found that, “…under extended exposure conditions that lead to resistance against vancomycin or daptomycin, Cannabidiol did not lose effectiveness. Cannabidiol was also effective at disrupting biofilms, a physical form of bacteria growth that leads to difficult-to-treat infections.”

CBD IS A PROMISING NEW ANTIBIOTIC

Dr. Mark Blaskovich stated, “Given cannabidiol’s (CBD) anti-inflammatory effects, existing safety data in humans, and potential for varied delivery routes, it is a promising new antibiotic worth further investigation.”

THE RESEARCH PAPER WAS PRESENTED IN JUNE  

The paper on this research was presented in June at the annual conference of the American Society for Microbiology, ASM Microbe 2019, at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. This is promising news and as further research in competed, we will be able to conclusively state that CBD will be used as a powerful antibiotic.

VANDALIZED CBD STORE

MORE CONFUSION OVER CBD

A CBD STORE IN ENGLAND IS VANDALIZED

Vandals, mistaking a CBD store for a store that sells drugs, broke windows and put super glue in the front door lock. One must assume that the vandals thought CBD was marijuana as they spray painted the words, ‘Stop Drugs’ on the front window of the shop.

CONFUSION OVER CBD CONTINUES.

I have had people ask me why I am selling CBD. The simple answer is because it helps people. It can help reduce muscle and joint pain; it can help reduce anxiety and depression; and it can help people sleep that have difficulty sleeping, as well as many other ailments. The implication in the question is that it is considered an illegal drug, or an illicit drug. It is neither.

CBD IS LEGAL IN IDAHO

CBD is legal in Idaho as long as it has 0% THC, the ingredient in marijuana that makes you high. Even a small percentage of THC will render the CBD illegal. This is why it is extremely important to know what is in the product before you buy it. If you have to have a drug test for work, any THC will show up and cause problems for you.

ENSURE THE CBD PRODUCT YOU PURCHASE HAS A COA

A COA is a Certificate Of Analysis, which should be from an independent, third party laboratory to ensure authenticity. Any legitimate company will have a COA for every product they offer for sale. All you will need to do is ask for one. If they can’t produce one, don’t buy the product. In addition to knowing what is in the product, it is as important to know what isn’t in the product, such as heavy metals or pesticides. Eden Organics has a COA for every product we sell. You can buy with confidence at Eden Organics.
