Simply CBD Pittsburgh

Now, in our every day life, we are exposed but not limited to things like:

​

Environmental Toxins:
Herbicides, Insecticides, Heavy metals

​

Chronic Biological Infections:
Bacteria
Fungus
Molds
Viruses

Inflammatory Diet:
Endotoxins

So then, What kinds of symptoms, stress do all these things cause to us being adsorbed into our bodies?

​

Immune Inflammation:
Autoimmune Disease
Rheumatoid  Arthritis | IBD | Lupus | Thyroid
Fibromyalgia | MS
Skin | Psoriasis | Eczema
Chronic Infections

​

Brain Inflammation:
Brain Fog | Migraine | Epilepsy
Anxiety | PTSD
ADD | ADHD | Autism
Insomnia

Therefore, if you are suffering from any of these symptoms; CBD might provide you with tremendous healing, tremendous relief to your immune system AND central nervous system right through your own natural Endo-cannabinoid system!

How CBD oil might help you:
 
Relieves Pain
One 2008 review assessed how well CBD works to relieve chronic pain. The review looked at studies conducted between the late 1980s and 2007. Based on these reviews, they concluded that CBD was effective in overall pain management without adverse side effects. They also noted that CBD was beneficial in treating insomnia related to chronic pain.

The authors of the study also note that CBD was most helpful in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Kills or Slows Bacterial Growth
CBD have the most potential for consumer use because they are non-psychotropic. Besides identifying antibacterial capability, the researchers wanted to figure out why these cannabinoids are so good at killing bacteria. They obviously are very effective at specifically targeting some vital process in the bacteria. Unfortunately, even after extensive work at modifying the cannabinoids and comparing their activities, that targeting mechanism remains a mystery. The scientists were able to figure out that the position of the n-pentyl chain relative to the terpenoid moiety serves to control lipid affinity.

Reduces Blood Sugar Levels

In 2013, the results of a five-year study into the effects of cannabis on fasting insulin and insulin resistance were published in the American Journal of Medicine. Of the 4,657 respondents, 2,554 had used cannabis in their lifetime (579 were current users and 1,975 were past users) and 2,103 had never used the drug.

The researchers found that current users of cannabis had 16% lower fasting insulin levels than respondents who had never used cannabis, as well as having 17% lower levels of insulin resistance and higher levels of HDL-C. Respondents who had used cannabis in their lifetime but were not current users showed similar but less pronounced associations, indicating that the protective effect of cannabis fades with time.

​

Reduces Vomiting and Nausea

Although annoying, and sometimes detrimental, the biological causes of nausea and vomiting play an important role in the progression of many species. Classified as a defensive action, the sole purpose of this response is to inhibit the digestion of toxic compounds. Since the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system (ECS), researchers have found this complex network of cannabinoid receptor sites plays a direct role in regulating both nausea and vomiting.

​

Reduces Seizures and Convulsions

For the study, 120 children and adolescents with Dravet Syndrome between the ages of 2 and 18 years were randomized across 23 sites in the United States and Europe to receive either CBD 20 mg/kg or placebo added to their existing treatment over a 14-week period. Seizure frequency was tracked for one month prior to the study for baseline readings, and during the course of the study.

​

 Reduces Inflammation

Cannabidiol has been shown to be effective in protecting endothelial function and integrity in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). The study demonstrated that CBD reversed the harmful effects of high glucose on HCAECs by inhibiting:

• Reactive oxygen species production by mitochondria

• NF-κB activation

• Transendothelial migration of monocytes

• Monocyte–endothelial adhesion in HCAEC
  
  Reduces Risk of Artery Blockage
  In both animal and human studies, cannabinoids have been found to cause blood vessels to vasodilate, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Another study found that marijuana use before a heart attack may improve survival rate while in the hospital. CBD specifically has shown to be a vasodilator, allowing for greater blood flow and reducing the damage to arterial walls and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. This vasodilator effect has been shown to help normalize blood pressure.
  
  Inhibits Cell Growth in Tumors/Cancer Cells
  What the researchers discovered was that both isolated CBD and the cannabis extracts, even at varying concentrations, were effective at inhibiting the proliferation of cervical cancer cells. However, further examination revealed that it was the presence of CBD that was responsible for inducing apoptosis, a process that kills the cancerous cells. In addition, even at lower concentrations, isolated CBD was found to be more effective at inducing apoptosis than when it’s still blended with the other compounds that make up cannabis extracts.
  
  Tranquilizes and is Used to Manage Psychosis
  In the light of the information mentioned above, it can be taken for granted that although CBD oil treatment for mental conditions is only in its infancy, the substantial evidence which is being gained with the help of medical researches and studies depicts that it is going to be a promising drug for the treatment of Schizophrenia and psychosis in the near future.

• Not only does the CBD oil turn out to be highly effective against such conditions, but it does happen to be quite safe and well-tolerated by the body.
  
  Suppresses Muscles Spasms
  As evident from the information mentioned above, it can almost be taken for granted that there are multiple different medicinal benefits of CBD which are likely to be utilized in various drugs in the years to come. Thanks to its muscle and vascular relaxant properties, it is highly effective in the patients with inflammatory diseases with pain as a significant feature of it.
  
  Relieves Anxiety
  Brazilian researchers conducted a small double-blind study of patients afflicted with generalized social anxiety. After consuming CBD, participants reported a significant decrease in anxiety. Researchers validated patients’ subjective reports by performing brain scans showing cerebral blood flow patterns consistent with an anti-anxiety effect.
  
  Promotes Bone Growth
  Cannabinoid ligands regulate bone mass, but skeletal effects of cannabis (marijuana and hashish) have not been reported. Bone fractures are highly prevalent, involving prolonged immobilization and discomfort. Here we report that the major non-psychoactive cannabis constituent, cannabidiol (CBD), enhances the biomechanical properties of healing rat mid-femoral fractures.
  
  Helps the Immune System
  If there is an imbalance between cell-mediated and humoral immunity, it results in disease and dysfunction. For example, multiple sclerosis is an example of an autoimmune disease, in which the cell-mediated immune system is hyper-activated against the individual’s own brain and nervous system—as if it were foreign. Interestingly, the ECS and cannabinoids have been shown to play a key role in “balancing” the various arms and components of the immune system.
  
  Protects Against Nervous System Degeneration
  The human body has a fatty acid called amide hydroxylase (FAAH), an enzyme which and breaks down the neurotransmitter, anandamide, which is associated with the neural generation of motivation and pleasure, as well as neural development in early stage embryos. CBD suppresses the effect of FAAH in the body, creating higher levels of anandamide, which in turn naturally binds to Cannabinoid type 1 receptors (known as CB1), which are concentrated in our central nervous systems.
  
  There are multiple effective ways of taking CBD; Oil, Capsules, Tinctures, Powder, and more.
