RIP Olivia Newton-John, who peacefully passed at home with Dignity and Grace on August 8, 2022 after a 30 year battle with Breast Cancer.

She is an outspoken advocate of plant-based medicine, particularly Medical Ma*****na, which she has called "a magical miracle plant".

The Olivia Newton-John Foundation was started as "an independent charity sponsoring global research into plant medicine for Cancer. These investments in new scientific research will educate patients and their caregivers about kinder options for treating Cancer. We are committed to realizing a world beyond Cancer".

She described Cannabis as a "healing plant" and also felt that "Medicinal Cannabis is something that should be available to everyone who is going through a Chronic illness or Pain".

She also stated "I have seen the incredible beauty of the plants and their healing abilities...if I hadn't had that experience, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you about kinder therapies...your body wants to heal itself".

Indeed, Cannabis works by activating the Endocannabinoid system (ECS), the single most complex and powerful system in the entire body.

Most people, including many physicians, do not know about this system or the fact that our body actually produces 2 different cannabis-like molecules to activate the system. The molecular structure of the endocannabinoid Anandamide is nearly identical to THC and the other endocannabinoid, 2-AG, is nearly identical to CBD.

Her husband, John Easterling, revealed that "her final wish was for donations to be made to her charity in lieu of flowers."

***PAIN SUCKS!***

But, some of the prescription medications used to manage pain can ruin lives and families… or even kill you.!

I’m watching the Hulu series, “Dopesick”, and getting pretty upset at how people AND doctors were manipulated by false statements from Purdue Pharma. Lives were ruined, while a drug company made billions selling OxyContin. Just watch the first episode and you will likely feel as angry as I do.

Meanwhile, the Opioid Crisis rages on and has now reached its personal worst and death rates continue to increase year after year.

From May 2020 until April 2021 over 100,000 people have died from drug overdose!!!

75,000 of those deaths are from Opioids, particularly FENTANYL!

That’s 28.5% more than the 12 month period for 2019-2020!

Pain is the number one reason people get certified for medical cannabis. It works better, has less side effects, and…you can not die from taking it.

Chronic pain is the single most common reason people give when they enroll in state-approved medical ma*****na programs. It can be an incredibly debilitating and oppressive condition adversely affecting virtually all aspects of a persons life.

Gleason said medical ma*****na gave him the ability to find new purpose in life. He went back to sleeping in his king-size bed alongside his wife and worked on growing his ALS advocacy foundation, Team Gleason, which has since given $18 million in adventure, technology, equipment and care services to over 20,000 people living with ALS.

This is an article that I consider to be "Required Reading" for all clients, health care providers, and anyone interested in knowing how cannabis works in the body.

I have been studying the science behind medical cannabis for at least 8 years now. Science nerds like me love reading and writing about this stuff.

There are many more articles in the "Education" section of our website.
