CBD...

I am not a short seller and hold no short position in this stock..I have no idea what your background is..I am a healthcare professional an MD with a interest in the history of medicine..

The history of medicine was framed nicely by an old professor of mine..

"In medicine the questions don't change only the answers."

Medical science has advanced by errors and misconceptions which continue until this very day, Ambrose Pare was a French "Barber Surgeon" in the middle ages..In his time gunshot wounds of the legs were treated by immersing the amputation stump in boiling oil..The rationale was not (as some of my comrade surgeons imagine) to stop the bleeding..Bleeding from the major leg vessels required tying off the vessels then as is still the case. The boiling oil emersion was done because the thinking in those days that gun powder was toxic and cause tetanus and gangrene. The oil imersion was done after the vessels were ligate and the bleeding stopped. Pare was fairly busy one day and performed 21 amputations. Later he was told they had no available boiling oil. Pare went to bed that night with a heavy heart.he was convinced all his patients would be dead in the morning. To his surprise he found his patients were doing better than usual, Usual being temperatures of 105 degrees.. He thought it was a miracle..

In 1934 the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Minot and Murphy for discovering the treatment of Pernicious Anemia (rampant in the early 20thcentury). Minot and Murphy were awarded the prize by identifying Folic Acid as the deficiency in PA...Turns out Folic Acid deficiency was not the cause of PA, Later on William Castle(one of my professors) proved the true cause was Vit B12...Castle never got the Nobel Prize. These stories are rampant in the history of medicine...Yes we see tangles in AD..but what do they mean and how does it work?...

AD is a disease relating to aging..To my way of thinking most every condition seen in aging is related to the degree of systemic inflammation..The higher your basal inflammatory levels are, the faster you age and I do not see AZ as an outlier..Want to slow down AD..cut down on your systemic inflammation.
