BudMed Bulletin for 5/12/24

SHOCKING FINDINGS: Cannabis in Pregnancy Linked to Language Leap in Babies!

Conclusion: Babies exposed to cannabis before birth showed surprising improvements in language skills by their first birthday, potentially setting them up for school success! Source

Epilepsy Patients Using Cannabis Report Superior Sleep Quality

"Despite a significant age difference, self-reported sleep quality is better among PWE (people with epilepsy) who report regular cannabis use compared to non-users." Source

Cannabidiol Improves Arthritis by Regulating Gut Bacteria!

CBD boosts levels of good stuff like butyric acid and L-carnitine in your blood by changing the mix of bacteria in your gut, which helps to reduce inflammation in cells that cause arthritis. Source

Mum praises ‘miracle’ cannabis vape for ‘saving my son’ after mainstream treatments failed

"“As soon as he vaped, his nausea stopped, and he could eat." Source

BREAKTHROUGH in Antibacterial Warfare!

Cannabinoids Show Promise Against Superbugs. Conclusion: The way cannabinoids are built can make them really good at killing bacteria, especially in CBD and similar forms. Source

Unlocking the Breast Cancer-Fighting Secrets of Lebanese Cannabis

Conclusion: Our research found that CBD and THC from Lebanese cannabis can help fight breast cancer. These compounds work together to break down cancer cells, causing them to die off rather than spread. They do this by triggering the cells' own self-destruct mechanism, not by mainly changing how cells recycle waste. Plus, they stop cancer cells from moving and invading other parts of the body.

Update on Cannabidiol in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

"Recent clinical trials and observational studies highlight the potential of CBD to lower seizure frequency and provide better quality of life in children affected by these disorders." Source

Gut Health Game Changer: CBD Boosts Cell Power & Protection!

CBD oil activates an energy sensor in cells (AMPK), helping cells to work better. It boosts the creation of certain cell markers that show cells are maturing properly. It improves how cells make energy in their little power plants (mitochondria) by affecting PGC1α and SIRT3. CBD oil cuts down on harmful oxygen molecules (reactive oxygen species) and ramps up the body's own defense system against these (antioxidant enzymes). It also increases levels of important substances (citrate, malate, succinate) used in a key energy-making process in cells (tricarboxylic acid cycle), and boosts the activity of enzymes that help this process (pyruvate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1). Even just CBD alone (without other components) can kick start these energy and antioxidant processes. Basically, CBD oil seems to help gut cells produce energy more efficiently and protect them from damage. Source

CBD to the Rescue: Shields Liver from Chemo Drug Damage! 

Cutting down on harmful oxygen molecules (oxidative stress) that can hurt the liver. Reducing inflammation, which is like the body's response to injury or infection. Stopping cells from dying off too quickly (apoptosis), which is like programmed cell death. Source
