I have been searching around trying to help my close friends mother, with her cancer problems over the last few weeks!!! What I have come to find about the healing properties of cannabis is that the CBD is the only DISEASE HEALING part of the cannabis plant even tho this was my understanding I have seen alot of professionals make this a known fact in their threads or whatever. Now I will say that, Yes THC is good for nausea from chemo, people with insomnia, PTSD sufferers, chronic pain sufferers and so on but it's only difference from a opi pill which just covers up a symptom and never fixes anything and THC. is the simple fact that one is 100% natural and the other is man made and extremely altered and chemically processed. However I actually ran across some info on the subject your asking about so when I saw your thread I figured that I had better get back on the same site and hunt it down because the information is just so rare still in fact the Info on what all a medical cannabis plant can do to help out or even cure some diseases just is not out there yet In public enough places to make it to the ears of those in need not to mention the sad fact that, their have been a very select few places (all over seas) that have been given full permission to do medical studies of the positive and negative effects of MM well them and the FDA's secret cannabis program that has been going on since the late 60's early 70's and all of these study based labritories have all been Forced to keep quiet about all their findings and if anything positive they find comes out to the public the UN will come in and shut down all operations and imprison anyone involved in the leak of information....... These are some sad times we live in when the worlds governments all together feel that a plant and it's cures not only should be illegal to the public but also have all the healing facts hidden from them with admital to the public that this is what they are doing and will continue to do so.... I feel so ashamed to be a human sometimes :bag:
Eh hem WOW uhm...
OK well sorry for just ranting on there like that but it really does effect everyone in a negative way to keep information like this Loken up and makes me just want to cry for humanity......
Anywho I am happy to tell you that I have some good news for you :joyful:or at least I hope I do anyway. So here is a short article that gives out a little bit if what your looking for I believe this is the one i read actually...
however I have also put at the bottom of my post a link to the find access to the needed medicine legally, and much more information for you to look at on the subject they have quite a bit of conversation and med articles (mostly from pub med) on diabetes alone and many other really great threads on cancer, tumors, and MS as well as about a thousand other healing power's the plant can/does hold inside.... so without anymore delay here it is for you and everyone else who may need it.
The Background
There are limited data regarding the relationship between cannabinoids and metabolic processes. Epidemiologic studies have found lower prevalence rates of obesity and diabetes mellitus in marijuana users compared with people who have never used marijuana, suggesting a relationship between cannabinoids and peripheral metabolic processes. To date, no study has investigated the relationship between marijuana use and fasting insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance.
Methods
We included 4657 adult men and women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2010. Marijuana use was assessed by self-report in a private room. Fasting insulin and glucose were measured via blood samples after a 9-hour fast, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated to evaluate insulin resistance. Associations were estimated using multiple linear regression, accounting for survey design and adjusting for potential confounders.
Results
Of the participants in our study sample, 579 were current marijuana users and 1975 were past users. In multivariable adjusted models, current marijuana use was associated with 16% lower fasting insulin levels (95% confidence interval [CI], −26, −6) and 17% lower HOMA-IR (95% CI, −27, −6). We found significant associations between marijuana use and smaller waist circumferences. Among current users, we found no significant dose-response.
Conclusions
We found that marijuana use was associated with lower levels of fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, and smaller waist circumference. The Impact of Marijuana Use on Glucose, Insulin, and Insulin Resistance among US
