I received this infomercial from Dr. Sue,
one of my classmates and decided to put it on this page
because of the following reasons.
1. Recent AARP magazine had a thorough investigative article
on the subject which supports its claim at least partially.
2. Almost all mainstream MDs including myself are ignorant
mainly because of lack of research data.
3. The crisis situation with numerous fatalities resulting from wide spread use
of opioids and narcotics made the patients look for alternatives for pain control.
4. So far clinical observations by the patients themselves and some physicians
seem to indicate the effectiveness of these products.
"More than 600,000 Americans turn to cannabis for relief from chronic pain — and the scientific evidence for its effectiveness is substantial. In gold-standard randomized clinical trials of people who had agonizing health concerns — peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain from diabetes), spinal cord injury, HIV or complex regional pain syndrome, cancer, chemotherapy, muscle and joint problems, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis — cannabis reduced pain by 40 percent, according to the 2017 NASEM report.
In a recent Canadian study, cannabis even soothed arthritic lab rats. Surprisingly, there’s little evidence (yet) from human studies for the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis — the wear-and-tear joint disease affecting 50 percent of adults age 65-plus. Clinical trials are underway. But who’s waiting? Arthritis was the top reason older adults used cannabis in a 2019 Colorado survey, followed by back pain. Overall, 79 percent said it helped. " See the full report from AARP in the below.
BOTTOM LINE: It seems to help
