“As a result, using CBD could mean less need for surgery.”, according to the cardiac surgeon. He also believes that CBD is the “most important” drug ever discovered for treating cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, and more.
“The discovery of the endocannabinoid system is one of the most important medical and scientific discoveries ever made”says retired cardiologist Dr. David Allen, who researches CBD.
“More people will be saved by manipulation of the endocannabinoid system than are currently being saved by medicine.”
“When we discovered the endocannabinoid system about 30 years ago, we didn’t really understand its significance.”
The ECS (endocannabinoid system) is responsible for chemical bonds in the body, similar to those performed by our endocrine (hormonal) system. “We believe that manipulating this system can control blood sugar levels, control cancer problems, and influence the regeneration of the body after a heart attack or stroke.”says Allen.
The best way to manipulate ECS is to use the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. More than 80 cannabinoids have been found in the hemp plant. The second most important of these, after THC, is CBD, or cannabidiol. Unlike THC, which is an intoxicant, CBD has no psychoactive components that could affect our minds.
Now that hemp products and CBD are legal in most countries, some doctors say they could revolutionize Western medicine.
“More than 1200 studies published in peer-reviewed CBD journals”explains Robur Streisfeld, a naturopath (*1). “It’s probably the most researched green plant in the world.”

Hemp was first grown as a textile fiber around 10,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. While hemp and marijuana originate from cannabis, after centuries of selective breeding, completely different crops have been produced.
Marijuana usually contains THC at a concentration of 5 to 30 percent. The hemp plant is required by law to contain less than 0.3 percent THC. For example: CBD oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, terpenes, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds.
Below are eight potential therapeutic uses for CBD:
-
- Oncological diseases
Many studies (eg HERE) demonstrate the potential of CBD as a promising cancer treatment, as it blocks the spread of cancer cells throughout the body. Therefore, the cells die quickly and reduce inflammation.
The National Cancer Institute (*2) states that CBD oil may be useful for suppression symptoms of cancer, as well as side effects of treatment.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking cells in the pancreas, resulting in chronic inflammation. Research shows that CBD can alleviate This is inflammation and it is better to control the body’s response to the condition.
-
- chronic pain
Another study found that CBD “holds great promise” in the treatment of difficult-to-treat chronic pain such as nerve pain, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. It is also very effective muscle relaxer.
Research shows a calming effect of CBD in people with post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It may decrease anxiety symptoms with fewer side effects than conventional medications because CBD naturally increases serotonin levels in the brain.
For example, due to its anti-seizure properties and low risk of side effects, CBD oil is considered a promising treatment option for epilepsy, especially in children. Researchers believe it works by modulating electrical and chemical activity to help decrease excessive activity in the brain.
-
- Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease
Because CBD affects nerve receptors, there is evidence that it may be beneficial for people with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and stroke. CBD is especially helpful in preventing early Alzheimer’s disease from losing facial recognition. Additional evidence suggests that CBD oil may also be helpful in treating psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Since inflammation causes acne, there is evidence that the cannabinoids in CBD prevent skin inflammation. Research shows that CBD can slow down production in the sebaceous glands, preventing the skin from overproducing oil.
