The Discovery of CBD In spite of the fact that CBD was thoroughly used for a wide range of reasons over thousands of years across the world. There remains a substantial amount about hemp and cannabis that we still don't know about. In fact, the most recent discovery about an individual cannabinoid wasn't actually made until 1940. according to this article www.leahsfitness.com/does-cbd-oil-work-for-pain-and-stress-relief/ , It was only at this time that Robert S. Cahn published his findings on the structure of Cannabinol (CBN). A couple of years later, a chemist based in the US at www.ucgardnercenter.com known as Roger Adams actually managed to isolate cannabidiol (CBD). This is one of the times that history was officially made as Adams officially isolated CBD for the very first time. It would be more than 20 years until THC would be effectively isolated too. And the accomplishment went to Dr. Raphael Mechoulam of the www.ecnsweb.com website in 1963, when he identified CBD's stereochemistry, as well as THC in 1964.   With a study conducted in 1978, he provided doses of 300 mgs of CBD on a daily basis for eight volunteers with medically diagnosed epilepsy. Within four months of these treatments, more than half of the group actually stopped having seizures reported in this article www.alternativemedicine.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-best-cbd-gummies/, while the remainder saw a marked decrease in the amount of seizures that they had. It was a landmark piece of research.. CBD As of Now During the latter decades of the 20th century, Dr. Lisa Matsuda of www.degreejungle.com sought to discover the functions of CBD, and actually uncovered the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Interestingly, Dr Matsuda was the very first researcher to describe the underlying structure and function of CB1, which operates as a cannabinoid receptor. Meanwhile, the CBD2 receptor was discovered shortly therafter and a possible third receptor which is known as GPR55. The website www.vacfacts.info reported the CBD research in florida According to the website www.as1effect.com , One of the biggest breakthroughs for the field of CBDs occurred back in 1996 , when the state of California became the very first state in the USA to legalize the medicinal applications of CBD and marijuana for patients. Over the next four years, an additional seven states listed at www.womendailymagazine.com/cbd-for-sleep-why-you-should-give-cbd-oil-to-your-grandparents/ would follow California's example. Since then, there have been more than 33 states, including Washington DC, that now permit the medical application of CBD oil. In addition to this number, 11 of these same states, including the District of Columbia, actually permit recreational use CBD. While there are an increasing number of states within the USA that actually make use of CBD rported by the website www.smsmf.org to some capacity, they still remain federally illegal. Back in 2006, Charlotte Figi was diagnosed with Dravet's syndrome, which is an extremely rare kind of epilepsy that causes hundreds of seizures on a weekly basis.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
