Inhaled cannabis cuts headache and migraine severity by nearly half Inhaled cannabis reduces self-reported headache severity by 47.3% and migraine severity by 49.6%, according to a recent study led by Carrie Cuttler, a Washington State University assistant professor of psychology. The study, published online recently in the Journal of Pain, is the first to use big data from headache and migraine patients using cannabis in real time. Previous studies have asked patients to recall the effect of cannabis use in the past. There has been one clinical trial indicating that cannabis was better than ibuprofen in alleviating headache, but it used nabilone, a synthetic cannabinoid drug.

 What Most Doctors REALLY Think About Alternative Cancer Treatments Authored By Ty Bollinger How receptive are most oncologists to using alternative cancer therapies for their patients? Not surprisingly, most medical practitioners are  apprehensive to their patients utilizing cancer treatments that are not considered “standard of care.” But not for the reasons you may think…which will be explained later in this article. Most physicians interviewed in Dr. Ivy Lynn Bourgeault’s (from the Canada Medical Association) research said they opposed the use of alternative cancer therapies for their patients. Yet, according to Dr. Bourgeault, “54% of people with cancer use alternative therapies and up to half of those patients completely abandon standard medical treatments in exchange for alternative methods.”

  Με ποιο Τρόπο ο Κουρκουμάς Προστατεύει τη Μνήμη μας; "Η μνήμη είναι ένα από τα αγαπημένα αντικέιμενα των επιστημόνων. Κι αυτό γιατί έχουν πάντα κάτι καινούργιο να ανακαλύψουν. Τώρα, νέα έρευνα Αμερικανών επιστημόνων δείχνει πως η κουρκουμίνη… βασικό συστατικό του κουρκουμά βοηθάει στην μνήμη μας. Ερευνητές διενήργησαν ένα πείραμα, για να καθορίσουν το πώς η κουρκουμίνη, η χημική ουσία που δίνει στο ινδικό κάρυ το ιδιαίτερο χρώμα του, επηρεάζει τον εγκέφαλο.

 Sunlight might Affect Gut Microbiome Diversity Researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada have found a significant link between exposure to ultraviolet rays and an increase in gut bacterial diversity. The findings could prove important in managing autoimmune diseases known to be associated with gut bacterial diversity, such as inflammatory bowel disease. Ultraviolet (UV) designates a band of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays. Our senses cannot detect UV rays — not until the damage is done — which is why they can be especially dangerous. Too much time in the sun causes sunburns, eye damage, accelerate aging, and skin cancer.
