I have a very close relative who is suffering from diabetes and already has had three toes amputated so I am always looking for new natural medications that may be able to alleviate their suffering. I am particularly interested in natural remedies and cures as I noticed that the conventional treatments my family member is getting do not seem to be working and the effects of the diabetes are getting worse.
In my continued research I recently came across a cannabis product which might really help in this case.
Cannabis Medication For Diabetics
CANNABIS SCIENCE has announced the development of cannabis medications for people suffering from diabetic neuropathy nerve pain and fibromyalgia. These new medications will be delivered into the blood streem through transdermal patches in a similar manner to nicotine patches.
The press release speaks of the advantages of transdermal patches because they allow for a controlled release of medicine either through body heat melting thin layers of the medicine or by the slow release from a well of medicine through a porous membrane. The active ingredient will be a high potency cannabinoid CBD extract for pain relief.
For those of you who don't know CBD is the other major cannabinoid in marijuana apart from THC. CBD has been shown to have amazing effects on many kinds of conditions including inflammation and pain relief yet it is not psychoactive. Some studies have even shown that CBD could be more effective for treating inflammatory pain than traditional medication.
As is very common with diabetes my family member has peripheral neuropathy which is damage to or disease affecting nerves. This has a big impact on the way sensations are felt and the ability for movement. As the movement for cannabis legalisation gains momentum globally it is exciting to think that powerful new natural treatments for things like diabetes will be coming onto the market to relieve pain without heavy pharmaceuticals.
If only I could get my family member to be open minded about this ancient medicine!
