The Human Endocannabinoid System & Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03RfMtv1jQs The Science behind the medical power of cannabis (marijuana.) Did you know Cannabis marijuana may treat prevent or even cure Cancer, Alzheimers, Crohns, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Glaucoma. The Human Endocannabinoid System Our bodies have an endogenous series of receptors designed to synthesize and utilize cannabinoids called the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS, not discovered until the 1990′s, is an exciting scientific and medical discovery. Because research is still in infancy, we are only beginning to learn what this important endogenous system does. The ECS is a network of receptors that control some of our most vital life functions, including our immune system, memory, appetite, sleep pattern, and pain sensation. The receptors that we are certain make up the endocannabinoid system are CB (cannabinoid) 1 and 2, TRPV (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid) 1 and 2, and some GPR (G coupled protein receptor). These receptors are spread throughout our entire body, but seem to be mostly concentrated in our brains, central nervous systems, bones, and other organs. Cannabinoid ligands agonize and antagonize the ECS receptors. The human body naturally produces two endogenous cannabinoid ligands, anandamide (AEA) and 2-archidon0ylglycerol (2-AG). Ligands are compounds that stimulate receptors. A healthy endocannabinoid system creates homeostasis in the human body. Inversely, if your endocannabinoid system is out of whack, you will have health problems. Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD) We recently learned that a host of common medical conditions are linked to endocannabinoid deficiency. The condition is known as Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD). Scientists have found that deficiencies of AEA and 2-AG are consistent with people who suffer from migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, and fibromyalgia. What this means is that if your body isn’t producing enough cannabinoids, you will probably suffer from severe headaches, neuropathic pain and stomach problems. People who suffer from the above mentioned conditions who use cannabis already know that cannabis treats nearly all of the associated symptoms. People who suffer from endocannabinoid deficiencies who don’t use cannabis just have to suffer or use less effective and more toxic medications.
