White mulberry can help with weight loss, study finds

June 27, 2020 - anandamide, and helps turn functions in the brain and body on and off.

Previous studies have found that large amounts of endocannabinoids are produced in the brains of obese mice or rats. Similarly in hungry non-obese rats, endocannabinoid levels in their forebrain are elevated and only return to normal when they are satiated. These findings suggest that inhibiting the activity of endocannabinoids with the help of CB1 antagonists -- an agent that interferes with the ...

Remarkable ways cannabis can help prevent illness

February 27, 2017 -

So far, research has taught us that cannabis may be effective for combating cancer, reducing and/or eliminating seizures, managing pain and inflammation, and treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.

The reason the plant is so effective as a medicine in humans, is because it interacts with a physiological system called the Endocannabinoid ...
