Cannabis and Its Effectiveness Against Covid-19: Is This Bye Bye To Vaccines?

-
It was only a matter of time for researchers to accept what has previously been a better alternative than the one-size-fit-all vaccines which could mark the beginning of continuous shots. Cannabis - a plant that has been in the forefront of legal and policy issues has proven once again to be the real deal in prevention and treatment of Covid-19 and its variants.

The study is titled, “Effect of cannabidiol on apoptosis and cellular interferon and interferon-stimulated gene responses to the SARS-CoV-2 genes ORF8, ORF10 and M protein.

According to US experts, cannabis compounds have the ability to block the virus that causes Covid-19 from entering human cells. The Journal of Natural Products released a research titled "Cannabinoids Block Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 and Emerging Variants."

Synthetic cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive chemical present in the cannabis plant, appears to prime cells' innate immune systems, potentially protecting them from infections like SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers discovered that synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) boosts cells' antiviral response to three important proteins produced by the SARS-CoV-2 genome, which was previously unknown.

These proteins were investigated in human kidney cells, both alone and in combination with CBD, as well as the effects of CBD in healthy control cells, by the researchers.

Robin Duncan, lead investigator and a professor in the University of Waterloo's Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences has this to say about the effectiveness of Cannabis compounds in the prevention and treatment of covid-19 and similar diseases, "When cells in the lungs or the digestive tract are infected with a virus, they have an ability to sense and respond, even before the immune system notices a virus is present. 

“They do this by activating innate responses inside of cells, which form the first line of defence. In the case of COVID-19, however, this response isn’t very good, which has contributed to high infection rates.

“With an RNA-type virus, like SARS-CoV-2, cells should activate an innate system that cuts up the viral genome, which also causes infected cells to undergo a process called apoptosis – a sort of controlled cell death that gets rid of infected cells early on. This could stop an infection, or slow its spread in the body or to others. When we combined CBD with these viral proteins, they had a much better ability to activate this system and to activate apoptosis.”

Cannabis has a one-of-a-kind relationship with our immune system. On the one hand, cannabis can help you increase your immunity and fight certain diseases.

CBD in therapeutic doses seemed to stimulate the innate antiviral system of cells, enhancing their readiness to respond to viral infection in cells that had not been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 proteins — and this happened without causing apoptosis in healthy cells.

You can enhance your immunity with cannabis, which should help you stay healthy during the COVID-19 outbreak. The only issue is abuse and to what extent are medical practitioners willing to take advantage in this period of helpnessnes and tiredness - Mass Formation Psychosis, in Dr Malone's words. 

Are Health officials open to new understanding and preventive measures or they're just stuck with the god status of vaccine? That's the real issue now. Science has become split and politicized.

However, current methods and regulatory frameworks such as nosemarks and vaccines can still compliment this discovery although booster shots has proven not to be effective in contracting Covid, but it has reduced the death rate.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per

CHILD MARRIAGE: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY "GRANPA"-THE WISH OF THE GODS?

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however

The Impact of Aging on Female Sexual Desire: What Men Need to Know to Keep the Spark Alive

-

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin
