2019 CBD Research
CBD helps Neurological Disorders
New Research Published December 12, 2019
Study Results: There is evidence for therapeutic effects of cannabidiol on multiple neurological disorders including:
- Alzheimer’s
- Parkinson disease
- Huntington disease
- multiple sclerosis
- stroke
- epilepsy
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- traumatic brain injury
- glioblastoma (1)
CBD is one of the major ways that the endocannabinoid system (a regulatory system in your body) relays signals to maintain the good functioning of critical health systems. (2)
Our summary:
- This research is a review of the literature and a discussion of reasons for cannabinoid success and failure in treating neurological disorders.
- This CBD research explains why cannabinoids have varying effects on neurological disorders and propose that the endocannabinoidome (the larger endocannabinoid signaling system) is the reason for the imprecise effects of treating patients with cannabinoids. (3)
CBD appears to have benefits for Parkinson’s Disease. Check out this quick video on CBD and Medical Marijuana for Parkinson’s.
