Crohn’s Disease And How You Can Get Rid Of It With Cannabis

Crohn’s Disease is a deadly disease because of the severity of the symptoms and the lack of availability of any treatment or cure. Those who suffer from this disease have to deal with the symptoms by using different medications. Cannabis or medical marijuana is the only medicine that will help the affected person to deal with all the symptoms at the same time.

Here  are the best cannabis kinds for today

Anti bacterial effect: Diarrhea is a common symptom of Crohn’s Disease. This is because of the damage to the internal organs of the digestive system. The result is that the food that is consumed is not digested. This can lead to diarrhea. The other reason for the diarrhea is that the bacteria that are present in the food or in the gut can cause infection. Since the mucosal protective layer of the intestines is damaged in this disease, the natural bactericidal effect is lost. To overcome this problem, medical marijuana is used. This will help in ensuring that the bacteria are killed and the diarrhea is prevented. This actually helps the affected person to put on weight. Weight loss and malnutrition are the greatest problems seen in those who suffer from this disease. When cannabis is used regularly, it helps in the treatment of this disease by preventing diarrhea and helping the sufferers to put on weight.

Anti inflammatory effect: Inflammation is chronic in Crohn’s Disease. Inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive system, but it is commonly present in the intestines. Intestinal inflammation is called as ileitis or colitis, depending on the area of the intestine where the inflammation occurs.

Pain relieving effect: Pain relief is another important reason why medical marijuana is used in the treatment of Crohn’s Disease. The pain is caused because of the irritation in the gut. The irritation leads to inflammation and this can lead to pain sensation. The pain is also because of the damage that has already occurred in the digestive system. The damage occurs mainly in the intestines, though it can occur anywhere in the digestive system, right from the mouth to the anus. The pain can be relieved with the use of cannabis. The cannabis helps to interfere with the pain sensation carried by nerves to the brain. This helps in reducing pain sensation.

The use of cannabis by those who suffer from Crohn’s disease will also help in boosting the immune system. This is accomplished by the antioxidant effect. The antioxidants help to control the free radicals in the body and thus treat the disease and reduce its severity.

Cannabis and its compounds are latest Schizophrenia Treatment

The reason for this is that CBD or cannabidiol is very beneficial in treating this disorder, without causing any side effects. Though other drugs also help in the treatment of this disease they cause undesirable side effects. The use of cannabidiol helps in reducing these side effects and at the same time helps in reducing the symptoms of the disease. It needs to be understood that not all compounds of medical marijuana are helpful in the treatment of Schizophrenia. Some compounds like THC cause exacerbation in psychosis. THC is useful in the treatment of several other health problems like depression, but its role in the treatment of Schizophrenia is very limited. So, one has to be careful in the treatment of Schizophrenia with medical marijuana. The right compound needs to be used to treat the disease.

Role of cannabidiol in treating Schizophrenia:

1. Reduces psychosis: The advantage of cannabidiol is that it is able to reduce psychosis. Psychosis is one of the common side effects of the other drugs used and it is also a major problem caused by Schizophrenia. Since this complication is controlled by the use of cannabidiol, it needs to be used with regularity in the treatment of Schizophrenia.

2. Minimal side effects: The other reason for using cannabidiol and not medical marijuana as it is is because of the minimal, if not lack of side effects in this medication. The person who is suffering from Schizophrenia will be able to get rid of the disease for good, with the use of cannabidiol.

3. Effective drug: The cannabidiol compound is used as a drug to treat Schizophrenia. There have been several scientific experiments that have been conducted in the treatment of Schizophrenia. They have all been successful. This medication is highly effective in the treatment of this disease. It needs to be further researched to ensure that the right quantity of the compound is used as the prescribed dose in the treatment of Schizophrenia. Once it is perfected, it will be popular all over the world and take the other drugs head on and will even probably replace the other drugs as the preferred drug of choice in treating Schizophrenia.
