Anandamide- The Bliss Molecule!3/14/2018 Based on the knowledge in the ancient texts- AtharvaVeda (1200BC-1000BC)- which literally translates to The Book of Knowledge, one of its message is that all ailments arise from within the body therefore all ailments can be healed by the body, and with the help of nature. Since humans were not meant to be cut up (physically) and sutured up, powerful synthetic opiates and drugs were created and used to alleviate pain after surgeries. As evil as wars were, they led to advancements in medicine and rapid industrialization creating rise in consumerism and opening avenues for drug addiction/dependency.
Recently, I had to write an informative speech for my public speaking class and thought of doing a presentation on ways to reduce pain and anxiety naturally, and naturally the most celebrated five leaf clover came to mind. You know what I am talking about. I wanted to talk in particular about the most misunderstood plant- Hemp/Marijuana plant. While exploring the science behind plant based CBD- Cannabidiol (not THC-Tetrahydrocannabidiol- the psychoactive ingredient) I came across the most fascinating compound that is like the THC/CBD molecule AND is produced by our own body- ANANDAMIDE! Do you know that Ananda in Sanskrit means BLISS? That to me was just mind blowing. I should't be this surprised because as a yogi I can attest to the calming effects yoga has on my mind and body. Before I talk more about this bliss molecule lets first explore the dopest one, Dopamine! Why Dopamine? Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in charge of the pain pleasure sensations. It increases attention, improves cognitive function, and stimulates our creativity. It makes us more social and extroverted and helps us form bonds. However, dopamine, when too high, can also have its drawbacks. Many people seek out artificial sources of dopamine, which can lead to addiction. Look up Xanax. It is very important to understand that the brain cells-neurons-have a special way of communicating through the receptors by converting the extracellular signal (by binding itself onto the cell membrane via receptors) into an intra-cellular signal. In other words, a receptor is a structure on the surface of the cell that can lock onto certain molecules making it possible to carry a signal/message through the cell walls either expressing or inhibiting certain processes. For example, a potent painkiller like morphine works by binding itself onto the opiate receptors present on the nerve cells to reduce pain. Dopamine levels are affected by a wide variety of dietary and lifestyle factors, over working, including frequent alcohol use, excessive sugar, caffeine, diets, stress, lack of sleep and drug use. Because it is where our pain and pleasure center resides, it is responsible for addictive behaviors, like addiction to drugs, food, shopping, sex, gambling, and other repetitive and other addictive behaviors. It could explain the addictive nature of Xanax used to help anxiety by increasing the Dopamine levels. The hemp plant has been treated as sacred and medicinal by our ancestors but is looked upon as some evil creation of nature by the modern authorities. This plant, like other medicinal plants, was created by the very same force/GOD that created the earth. Did GOD not know that this plant would cause so much political and financial turmoil due to its potent medicinal properties from healing various pains to cancers to achieving "enlightenment"? Did the creator not know that creating receptors in our body that mimic the THC receptors was not approved? But guess what, brilliant minds like Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, 55 years ago in Israel- also now known as the Holy Land of Medical Marijuana, was able to isolate THC and CBD and introduce us to our own happy molecule Anandamide, leading to deeper understanding of our own human bodies. Dr. Mechoulam's work with the Hemp plant lead to the discovery of the human cannabinoid system- Endocannabinoid System. Anandamide is an Endocannabinoid which means that its a Cannabinoid substance like THC that is produced within us!!! The body is so intelligently designed that it has it' s own internal dispensary to continually releases Anandamide. When the body is in the state of shock or dis-ease, or not able to produce, we can get help from phytocannabinoids- plant based CBD. Nature, earth, solar systems, cosmos, us, plants, we all are made up of these core elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. Let's not forget that pets are also made up of these elements and they also suffer from pain and illness, AND also have Cannabinoid receptors! Animals suffering from seizures and pains from surgery or old age can be helped now. Here is an article from the National Institutes of Health- a part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services- that shows successful treatment of seizures in human infants and adolescents. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5540685/ Fun fact, Israel is the world leader when it comes to medical Marijuana research and development and with the largest population (27%) of users! Soon it will be the largest producer and supplier of CBD Hemp products. It would not be surprising to see dog treats supplemented with CBD on shelves soon. In GOD’s own words: Genesis 1:29-31 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. Now that we have established a basis and know that CBD is also GOD approved, we can move on to its applications. :) Oh, and I almost forgot to share the most important and applicable news that it is approved by the highest authorities in the cosmos. CBD is not THC and is not tested for in drug test as it is not classified as a psychoactive drug. Therefore: CBD IS 100% LEGAL TO USE/BUY/SELL IN ALL 50 STATES!!! Since the list of things that CBD can help with is ENDLESS I will focus on just a few major ones. There are a lot of scientific articles published online on CBD and are free to use. Attention Deficit Disorder/Anxiety/Stress- Dopamine keeps us focused and attentive. It works by responding to the optic nerve allowing our vision to stay sharp and focused on the task. CBD binds to the receptors that activate the production of Dopamine. Also guess what? CBD inhibits another enzyme (FAAH-fatty acid amide hydrolase) from breaking down our naturally produced BLISS molecule Anandamide thereby feeling more focused, calm, and relaxed. One benefit I have found is that taking PMB Hemp Oil before meditations helps my mind stay calmer and clearer and helps me get “there” sooner. Fertility- This time let’s talk about SPERMS! CBD is linked to the acrosomal process of the sperm meaning that it activates the process that allows for the cap of the head of the sperm to disintegrate and attach to the egg thereby increasing the chances.The fascinating part is that it all starts happening mid-flight in its journey! Guys, DID YOU KNOW that THC is harmful to the sperms? It causes the sperms to mutate, impacts testosterone levels, and affects it’s mobility and count. If you have been trying for a while and are looking for natural options, how much better can it get with this magic potion in a bottle! Of course, other things such as a healthy diet and exercise and age are a factor too. Ladies, CBD helps not only with easing menstrual cramps but helps increase the chances of conception and pain reduction during labor and delivery. Cardiac Health- CBD aids in removal of arterial plaque and decreasing the plaque adhesion in the arterial walls. It is known to relax the arterial muscles, calms inflammation, and acts like an antioxidant and aids in faster repair after strokes. CBD also is known to play a major role in metabolic disorders, digestive issues, obesity, depression, asthma, PTSD, just to name a few. The love of science and nature has brought me to this CBD oil that is highly bio-available. The tiny nano-enhanced particles and coated with liposomes, the same that our cells are made up of, which allows for a close to complete delivery and use of the product. You may have heard of the saying, "You are what you eat." But what if what you eat passes right through you? Are you still what you eat? You are what you ABSORB (Can we for a moment also please apply this principle to the energetic realm, including the energies of people and energy of the foods we ingest, and pay attention to things outside of us that want to imprint itself upon us- and we have a CHOICE). Most people take vitamins but do we know if its being absorbed in the body and working well? Based on my study and use of PMB Hemp Oil and the rate at which they are flying off of the shelves, I have to say that this product is the next big thing in the Hemp industry. The PMB products do not diagnose, cure, treat, heal or prevent any disease or illness however allow the results speak for themselves. Not to mention how easy it is to sign up for PMB- Nano-Enhanced-Hemp Oil not only to use but to generate easy ongoing revenue AND help humanity! If you would like to test it for yourself please let me know. I also stock the small bottles that are not sold online. By the way, the small ones ($40) make excellent gifts and stocking stuffers!
