Downhill Diabetes Diagnosis! ECS & CBD

Have you watched someone with a diabetes terrified of the downhill diagnosis?

First, monitor everything you eat!

Second, take meds.

Third, insulin injections.

Fourth, dialysis.

Fifth, blindness or amputations!

Heart breaking for everyone!

What if a simple clean plant leaf could change everything? What if 2 drops morning and evening could alter someone’s future?

Discover the amazing impact of cannabis or CBD on the Endocannabinoid System involving all the hormones in our body, especially its impact on diabetes!

The human body is a highly complex conglomeration of a myriad of different kinds of cells and tissues that are in constant communication with each other. 

Complex Communication System

There are two primary ways that our bodies communication with the rest of our body. 1. One is through the millions of nerve cells crisscrossing every single inch of our body, forming the nervous system.

  1. Another way our tissues communicate with each other is a four-step process.
  2. A) The secretion of highly complex biochemically active molecules.
  3. B) These molecules act on specific receptors of the target tissues.
  4. C) This produces a set of specific and complex physiological and biochemical responses.
  5. D) These responses act to maintain the normal and optimum functions of the body.

This communication system is called the endocrine system.  These messenger molecules are known as hormones.

 Endocannabinoid System

Recent research has even shown that the endocannabinoid system, ECS, might also be directly involved with our hormones. The ECS is involved in the regulation of the secretion as well as the regulation of different hormones and associated endocrine processes.

Cannabis directly affects this very important regulatory system of our body, the ECS. Therefore, by virtue of that effect it also directly affects our hormones! Cannabinoids like CBD, directly affect hormone levels in our body including the following.

  1. Thyroid hormones
  2. Testosterone
  3. Estrogen
  4. Insulin

Adrenaline and Cortisol

CBD, by its effect on the endocrine system has a potent anti-stress effect! One of the especially powerful effects is on hormones secreted from the adrenal glands like adrenaline and cortisol.

Adrenaline and cortisol are very important players in the evocation and modulation of the response of our body to different form of stress. Remembering that stress can be both physical as well as psychological!

Adrenaline is also famously known as the ‘fight or flight’ hormone! As adrenaline is released when the human body gears itself to confront a source of extreme stress. The stress is when we feel that we are in a situation ourselves of conflict or fear.

Cortisol works in subtler, but equally important ways, by playing a major role in the management of metabolism. Cortisol also impacts memory and even the phenomenon of wound healing!

When our body’s cortisol levels drop or rise significantly, it causes a plethora of problems throughout our body’s. These challenges range from mood swings, mental retardation to palpitations and cardiac failure.
