About 30,000 Americans are living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS (also known among baseball fans and classic-movie buffs as Lou Gehrigs disease). ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes patients to lose control of their movements. First it steals the power to speak, then eat, and, finally, to breathe.









Because of cannabiss neuroprotective and anti-seizure properties, many see it as an obvious treatment for ALS. (In fact, at one estimate, 13 percent of ALS patients already use medical cannabis.) As far as medical support goes, however, this is currently more an aspiration than reality. But weve got people on the case.....

Recent technological advances have led to a deeper understanding of ALS at a molecular level. And yet, as a2010 reviewlaments, this has not translated into any greatly effective therapies. The authors do, however, venture to sketch out what an ideal treatment regime might look like. It would be, to say the least, multi-pronged, covering glutamate antagonists, antioxidants, a centrally acting anti-inflammatory agent, microglial cell modulators (including tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha] inhibitors), an antiapoptotic agent, 1 or more neurotrophic growth factors, and a mitochondrial function-enhancing agent. Dont pretend that you know what all that means, either.



<p style="color:#757574;font-size:16px;">
Then, with charming coyness, the paper detonates its bomb: Remarkably, cannabis appears to have activity in all of those areas.

I Usually Can Take One Hit And @ The Max 2 With This COPD. Hopefully Many More Will Be Using Cannabis.

In practical terms, that means cannabis helps manage pain, improves breathing, sleep, and appetite, and reduces drooling. But the paper also implies that cannabis could actually protect the brain against ALS. Several studies (hereandhere) support this speculation, showing that various cannabinoids can slow the progression of ALS in lab mice and slightly extend their survival.



<p style="color:#757574;font-size:16px;">
While one author, Miguel Morneno-Martet of Universidad Compultense in Spain, acknowledges that the observed improvements are weak, the research suggests that cannabis may serve as a novel disease-modifying therapy in ALS.

I Just Love This One Too. I Read And Understood Every Word.

Again, I Thank You Very Much. Sincerely Grateful. May Peace Be With Us All... Will
