Cannibas Is It A Cancer Cure, Superfood, Or Dangerous Drug?

The answer to that question depends on who you ask. Medical professionals and politicians have similar objectives with heated debates from the general community. Their goal is to maintain sobriety, and keep marijuana out of the general public; but at what cost to health and wellness of our society? You may remember my earlier blog referencing how our diet, environment, household cleaning aids and beauty products impact our overall health. We face the danger of disease through exposure to toxic substances daily just by cleaning our homes,feeding our families processed goods, or using soaps and lotions containing toxic chemicals, dyes and preservatives. I live a very natural lifestyle rooted in this belief, if it grows naturally, somewhere there is a benefit. Remember, Imani's Secret Garden advocates societal health and wellness through natural living. 
 
Vocabulary lesson:  Marijuana, Cannabis- a natural plant containing over 400 chemicals that can alter mental status, fight bacteria infection, and diseases. 
 
Cannabinoids refer to any of a group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis (marijuana). Are you aware that our bodies make cancer cells daily and some of us never develop life threatening disease. There is a trigger, unknown to scientist to date, that causes this mechanism to go haywire mushrooming into incurable disease. The cells that behave this way are a part of our immune systems. The original purpose is to fight disease and infection.You will be intrigued to discover how cannabanoids work in our bodies.  We already have receptors ready to bond with cannabanoids producing new compounds to  keep cell production in line, and reducing or curing cancers without other forms of treatment. This fact verifies we should eat naturally to fight disease as we have the tools all around us.  Superfoods are those vegetation containing multiple health benefits without processing or refinement when taken in daily allowance proportions. 
 
The truth about cannibas and hemp is they are both strains of Cannabis Sativa. Cannibas however has a tawdry reputation attached to it as an illegal recreational drug, blocking the usefulness it can serve to medical treatment of not just cancer but a host of other diseases. Cannabis – whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, wild, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin – is a vegetable with every dietary essential product we are unable to reproduce. Like, Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids, Essential Cannabinoid acids and hundreds of anti-Cancer compounds all essential for brain, heart, and digestive health with many more benefits.
 
Enough facts? Well now onto to the lifestyle debate. Some of us in the community smoke this plant for medicinal purposes, and other reasons...Just be aware that when you burn anything you change the chemical makeup of that substance.The research today is showing eating the vegetation as you would any other green, provides the most benefit.It is recommended that you drink 4 – 8 ounces of raw flower and leaf juice from any Hemp plant for great health benefits. Some experts maintain the active ingredients through oil production. Interestingly, THC the most beneficial property of this plant, is reduced by hundreds of milligrams when the plant is burned decreasing its therapeutic effects. THC is the compound  that effects the brain causing the euphoria or feeling of being stoned. This effect is greatly limited with eating the plant. Supplement preparation of the plant results in the loss of important compounds and the combined effects of chemicals in our body that bond with the chemical compounds from the full plant form. 
So what should we do? Legalize it? Allow medical use only? What do you think?

WANT TO STOP CREATING DISEASE?

Disease, even hereditary disease, is not set in stone. Just because one may have a genetic tendency for this or that illness,  does not guarantee one will ever develop that condition. The outcome is entirely in your hands. Let me say that again. The outcome is entirely in your hands. One does not HAVE to develop heart disease, diabetes or cancer, even if the whole family had it, died from it or is currently under doctor's care for it. Genes may predispose someone for a weakness. However, our own ENVIRONMENTS & LIFESTYLES have more power over  possible disease development or health maintenance than any hereditary trait. Thought life, stress, emotions, spiritual expectation, foods, and lifestyle habits are the variables that change health outcomes, regardless of genes. We each have the ability to stop disease from ever coming around. We still won't live forever.  But we can live an optimally health life IF we are willing to make c...

Explaining Chronic Invisible Illness/Is It Worth It?

A friend in one of my Facebook chronic pain groups posted this question for discussion: "What would you like to say to those who don't think our pain isn't that bad and/or we are faking our illness?" I couldn't answer right away. I didn't know what to say and wanted to chew on it for awhile. Quite frankly, I've grown wearing of trying to make others understand. What do you say when you've been through the ringer with doctor after doctor insinuating you are a hypochondriac until they finally find evidence on an imaging study that proves otherwise? I can tell you what my inner two year old would like to say (you can find that here ). But what, if anything, can be said that would truly help them understand what we, the chronically ill, face every day?  What to say to friends and family that roll their eyes and think you are "lazy" because you are unable to get out of bed until 9am. That just because you had decent sleep the ...

How Does Hypnosis Control Pain?

How does Hypnosis Control Pain? You have seen extreme Yoga practitioners do it, pass large needles through their body parts with no pain and no bleeding.  You have read how people under hypnosis can undergo dental procedures with no pain medication of any type.  People with chronic pain seem to be able to reduce their suffering significantly utilizing hypnotic techniques and in some cases actually speed the bodies healing process.  HOW DO THEY DO THAT?????? The process is actually very simple, by using a mindfulness relaxation discipline such as hypnosis a person is able to reduce their blood pressure to area of the body and make it go numb.  Much the same as when you fall asleep on your arm the wrong way and cut the circulation off and the arm goes numb.  This permits such procedures such as dental surgery to be carried out without pain and very little bleeding. When it comes to such things as back pain the more it hurts the more the muscl...
