CBD oil could help those suffering with HIV/AIDS
Can CBD help patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS?
“HIV” is the acronym for “human immunodeficiency virus.” It is a disease that attacks the immune system of the body, in particular, the CD4 cells, also known as T cells. These cells help the immune system fight off infections. For that reason, someone with HIV is likely to have other health complications.
One of the most medically versatile substances, cannabis can effectively treat the most common HIV side-effects and symptoms: weight loss, depression, anxiety, nausea and loss of appetite.
In fact, noted activist Dennis Peron got his start in medical marijuana activism at the height of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. His partner and some of his friends contracted the virus. And they found that cannabis was the best treatment to alleviate their suffering. Marijuana is so successful in managing these symptoms that 27 percent of people with HIV/AIDS reported using it in a 2005 survey. Thirteen years later, marijuana stigma is decreasing, accessing the herb has never been easier, and awareness of medical marijuana’s benefits is on the rise. Undoubtedly, more HIV/AIDS patients than ever are turning towards one of nature’s best medicines. Due to its immediate efficacy, smoking is a great way to manage these symptoms and side effects.
The nausea and vomiting associated with HIV/AIDS and the medications used to treat these symptoms are linked to the enteric nervous system, which controls the gastrointestinal tract. Cannabinoids act on receptors in the enteric nervous system to ameliorate symptoms. While inhaled cannabis may be more effective in combating neuropathic pain, tinctures appears to be most effective in managing nausea, vomiting, pain, fatigue and loss of appetite.
CBD and THC tinctures can have a strong effect on many of the symptoms of the disease. For example, issues such as weight loss, vomiting, pain and nausea can all be treated with CBD and THC. This helps patients maintain or restore their weight, which keeps the essential nutrients in their bodies while coping with pain effectively. Once the disease progresses to AIDS, some symptoms could include memory disorders and depression which CBD and THC are recommended tinctures to use. There is also some evidence to show that marijuana might actually slow the replication of HIV. This opens the door to enormous possibilities, beyond just treating the symptoms of having HIV or AIDS.
