CBDA & CBGA blocks COVID entry to CLUB CELL

Todays’ blog will examine the science supporting the hypothesis that cannabinoids can be used in the prevention of the disease, to determine if the hype is real.

While no medical journal in their right mind would exclusively call for the use of plant medicine over vaccinations, at the risk of impending doom from pharmaceutical giants, the research speaks for itself. Harness the power of mother nature- or become another Fox News statistic.

CBD THC & COVID-19

The University of South Carolina has a cannabinoid science lab led by Prakash Nagarkatti. Nagarkatti and his team are currently pioneering investigations into the ECS, the gut microbiome, and disease. They may even have discovered a clue for treating one of the most harmful complications of COVID-19 in some patients.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, a journal with a study done in June, 2020 explored this ECS manipulation by administering THC to mice affected with a form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The results were astounding-Nagarkatti and colleagues demonstrated that the application of THC completely healed the ARDS in the laboratory mice.
