Marijuana For Healing Goes Back A Long, Long Time

Cannabis/marijuana has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. The earliest references are found in the Chinese Materia Medica. This ancient Chinese herbology book was written around 2800 B.C. and  contains over 100 conditions that cannabis responded well to, including gout and rheumatism.

Cannabis also was listed as one of 50 essential plants in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the ancient Indian Vedas text listed it as one of five sacred plants. So…we think we are just starting to discovering the power of cannabis when all we have to do is look to history for its many beneficial uses.

There’s Good News Out There

There’s a new book out called Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism and Progress by Harvard Professor Steven Pinker that makes the case that people all over the world are much better than before. Here are some examples:
1. Children born today can expect to live to age 71 which is a 40 to 50% increase since the turn of the century.

2. Compared to 100 years ago, you are 100% less likely to be killed by an automobile accident or plane crash.

3. Hate crimes, child abuse, domestic violence and bullying have declined.

4. Even terrorism isn’t nearly the threat it is perceived to be.

So…it’s nice to know that there are positive things going on in a world that’s become just a little crazy.

A Possible Way To Heal Strokes

Strokes can strike suddenly and lead to paralysis and death. A very small study with 10 stroke patients ranging from 45 to 79 found some promising results from experimental treatments using umbilical cord blood. The interesting part of this research is that the blood was not administered right away. It was administered 3 to 10 days later and then all the volunteers were evaluated three months later.

All of these volunteers showed improvement in speech, vision and movement beyond what would have been expected without the treatment. It appears that the stem cells in the umbilical blood encouraged new brain cell growth and suppressed inflammation. If these results hold in a larger study this may revolutionize how we can help stroke victims.

Friends Can Help You Fight Depression

Previous research found that depression is contagious among friends. New research reported in Atlantic found that only positive moods tend to spread among people in close association. This means that there is little risk of a depressed person pulling others into their state of depression.

The researchers analyzed data from more than 2,000 high school students over a period of 6 to 12 months. They found clinically depressed kids didn’t infect their friends. However, if the kid had enough friends who had a “healthy mood” it doubled their chances of recovering from their depression. Having this positive support group also reduced their chance of developing depression by 50%. So…get thy self to a positive group of friends

Inflammation Affects Longevity

Researchers studied 1,554 people who were at least 50 years old. Many of the participants were over 85 members of one group were over 100 years old. They found that the people with the lowest inflammation levels were the most likely to live a healthy life, even in extreme old age. Low-level inflammation was also an important predicator of people’s cognitive function, especially those in the oldest age group. There are several supplements you can take including curcumin, Vitamin D3, and astaxanthin to reduce inflammation. So…to live longer get your inflammation levels checked out by gtting a simple blood test.
