The Cannabis Health Index by Uwe Blesching

An in-depth reference that combines evidence-based insights from over 1,000 studies to present a convincing case for the powerful healing effects of medical marijuana on more than 100 chronic symptoms and diseases. Written by a former paramedic with a PhD in alternative healthcare, this sourcebook will interest patients with chronic diseases not being served by orthodox treatments, practitioners of mind-body-medicine, cannabis dispensaries, and cannabis-prescribing physicians. This comprehensive sourcebook combines evidence-based insights from more than 1,000 studies from cannabinoid and consciousness research to present a convincing case for the powerful healing effects of medical marijuana on over 100 chronic symptoms and diseases. Written by a former paramedic with a PhD in alternative healthcare, this in-depth reference shows that the subtle shifts in awareness commonly observed in cannabis-using patients vastly contribute to these compounds' therapeutic potential. The Cannabis Health Index is organized into condition-specific chapters, with eye-catching ratings of cannabis efficacy for each symptom, along with recommendations for use, and sidebars that suggest related mindfulness-based practices that enhance the body's own ability to heal. Organized alphabetically from aging to wound care, with sections on a variety of conditions including infections, cancer, cardiovascular health, eye diseases, inflammatory diseases, and much more, the Index reveals that the huge body of scientific studies focused on cannabis is a tremendously under-utilized repository of knowledge.
