It is no secret that our world is seeing a huge increase in poor health and cancer cases.

Cannabis is Key to Good Health When We Eat it vs. Smoke it

It should come as no surprise when we look at what we eat daily, the condition of our environment and the types of body care products we use daily that contain a ton of cancer causing agents. Mainstream medicine suggests that chemotherapy and radiation are the best means to go about treating cancer, but there is a growing body of evidence to suggest there exist much better cures. Cannabinoids may very well be one of the best disease and cancer fighting treatments out there.

Standard Process - Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex. Rhodiola Quality Issues Rhodiola rosea (Sedum roseum) is commonly referred to as Golden Root or Roseroot and grows in dry sandy ground at high altitudes in the arctic regions of Europe and Asia.

Standard Process - Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex

The freshly cut root has a rose-like odor that has led to its botanical name and one of its common names. What exactly is the reason you shouldn't take Rhodiola Rosea if you have anxiety? Caffeine: Lots More Information" Caffeine had long been on the list of don'ts for people hoping to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Caffeine: Lots More Information"

Doctors pointed to caffeine's negative effects on the nervous system and its track record of increasing anxiety, stress and food cravings, as well as its damaging effects on sleep quality. Recent studies, however, suggest that coffee and caffeine may actually offer some significant medical benefits. Remember the more than 19,000 studies mentioned earlier? Those studies have uncovered a range of positive effects that caffeine seems to have on the human body: Regular coffee drinkers were 80 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.Two cups a day reduced subjects' risk for colon cancer by 20 percent.Two cups a day caused an 80 percent drop in the odds of developing cirrhosis.Two cups a day cut the risk of developing gallstones in half.

Cocaine-Induced LTP in the Ventral Tegmental Area: New Insights Into Mechanism and Time Course Illuminate the Cellular Substrates of Addiction. Abstract Previous work has shown that a single dose of cocaine can produce long-term potentiation (LTP) of the glutamatergic synapses received by dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA).

Cocaine-Induced LTP in the Ventral Tegmental Area: New Insights Into Mechanism and Time Course Illuminate the Cellular Substrates of Addiction

This and other plastic changes in the brain's reward circuitry have been suggested to underlie addiction. A recent study has provided new insights into cocaine-induced LTP, showing that it begins 3–5 h after exposure, requires activation of a dopamine D5/NMDA receptor cascade, and can be evoked by cocaine application directly to the VTA. After many drug-free months, why does the sight of a white powder line still excite a cocaine addict? Cocaine causes long-lasting changes in the brain's reward circuitry that prompt the drug-seeking behaviors exhibited by addicts. The VTA plays an important role in goal-directed behavior, including drug-seeking behavior.
