I’m grinning. Can you see me? Via a tip from Simon of Power and Control I’ve learned that cannabis (yep: pot, grass, weed, ganja…) can be used to treat diabetes. But no, really. This is legit! Check out a new research paper from the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC).
This paper posits that cannabis can have the following benefits for diabetes patients:
* stabilizing blood sugars (confirmed via “a large body of anecdotal evidence building among diabetes sufferers”)
* anti-inflammatory action that may help quell some of the arterial inflammation common in diabetes
* “neuroprotective” effects that help thwart inflammation of nerves and reduce the pain of neuropathy by activating receptors in the body and brain
* “anti-spasmodic agents” help relieve muscle cramps and the pain of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders
* acts as a “vasodilator” to help keep blood vessels open and improve circulation
* contributes to lower blood pressure over time, which is vital for diabetics
* substituting cannabis butter and oil in foods “benefits cardiac and arterial health in general”
* it can also be used to make topical creams to relieve neuropathic pain and tingling in hands and feet
* finally, cannabis helps still diabetic “restless leg syndrom” (RLS), so the patient can sleep better: “it is recommended that patients use a vaporizer or smoked cannabis to aid in falling asleep.”
Now I have no idea how this has been received in the medical community, but that is one heck of a long list of potential health benefits! Where do I sign up for the clinical studies? (wink
Simon concludes: “If the stuff wasn’t illegal it would be considered a medical super-miracle given all the problems it treats.” Check them all out at LetFreedomGrow.com.
Combined with cell therapy, any diabetic has no excuse for having diabetes. The cure is staring you right in the face! Read my lips…do something to help yourself and stop listening to the white coat drug pushers.
What exactly do you mean by this? Are you diabetic?
Not anymore. Sten cell xenotransplantation is over 70 years old and is brand new here in the USA. Do some research and don’t just believe what I say. Google search Stem Cell Xenotransplantation or SCXT and start reading. It will blow your mind. Hemp oil is a great way of natural medicating yourself too and can be used in conjunction with many modalities but SCXT is the bomb.
Im now 27 and have had diabetes since 6, ive used cannabis since i was 21 and have always noticed and said to friends and family that my sugar levels are more stable, wspecially after food, ive never really took much noticed of this as i thought it would be stupid to mention this ti my doctor, only until now ive really typed it in on google. I see alot of forums and quotes stating ” some diabetics say it helps them with sugar levels”, fact is it do, ive had years with diabetes and not used cannabis and have had years with it whilst using it and i know the results and they are 100% accurate. I thought i was on my own on this one
i been a diabetic type 2 for almost 15 years now. for 3 years i was on metaformin 800 mg. but for the past 12 years i stopped taking it and started smoking weed. lo and behold im still alive. too bad i dont have a medical marijuana card yet.
Just say NO to big pharma.
Confused as to how weed helps stabilize blood sugars. It causes one to eat excessively. Are they saying no postprandial spikes? I don’t buy it.
just found out i was a diabetic dnt smoke weed butthinkin about trying it,bc of my diabetics….
