Hemp Based Nutritional Extracts, Part 1

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound that is showing a wide array of health benefits. Since it’s a constituent of marijuana, it’s been stigmatized as an illicit recreational drug. But highly purified, standardized CBD is non-hallucinogenic, absent the THC component that gives marijuana its “high.” Dr. Daniel Kiddy, CBD researcher, and Todd Davis, CEO of Endexx (CBDUnlimited.com) joins Dr. Hoffman for a discussion of the medical applications, politics, and legality of CBD. It harnesses the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to deliver anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-regulatory and analgesic benefits. Thus its applications to a wide variety of conditions: joint pain, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, neuropathic pain, headache and migraine, nausea, neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and even cancer. Is CBD legal? Can you get it without a prescription? Will it eventually find its way into health food stores like other herbal extracts? How can you be assured of quality? Will FDA and BigPharma succeed in turning it into a lucrative prescription drug, limiting consumer access and hiking prices? What’s forthcoming on the CBD research front? Click HERE for part 2.
