Neuropathies are pains generally caused over time by nerve damage from past traumatic events (pressure, heat, cold, chemicals, radiation) or a progression of certain diseases, toxins, pathogens, or lack of nutrients. Deformities, scar tissue, impaired tissue metabolism, impairment of nerve fiber insulation (demyelination), and inflammation all individually or together contribute to neuropathies.
Neuropathy is common, affecting up to 30% of the population. Older adults, diabetics, and cancer treatments cause greater risk. Treatment is lifestyle improvement and antidepressant, gabapentin type medications. Nerve damage is associated with muscle weakness.
Learn how Chronic Pain affects the body, with an explanation of the 3 types of pain and normal treatment for each type, the complications of opiates and ineffective pain management, how CBD & THC help reduce pain and strengthen other ways to manage pain, and how to safely begin a treatment plan for each route of administration.
This program trains you in how to start dosing guidelines as well as detailed protocols on how to wean opiates with CBD & ratio tinctures that are available in dispensaries along with dosing of edibles, patches, topicals, how to space from pharmaceuticals to reduce side effects, and interactions, talking to your providers about using CBD & Cannabis medicines, and adding holistic medicine principles to heal naturally.
Cannabinoids have proven effective for neuropathies through inhalation and topical application in several controlled trials. CBD produced a reduction in intense pain, sharp pain, cold and itchy sensations. Preclinical research indicates that CB2 receptor activity can prevent or ameliorate diabetes-associated peripheral neuropathy. A synthetic analog of CBD named PECS-101 given alongside the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel provided long-lasting relief of mechanical and cold allodynia (a model of neuropathic pain) in mice.
