Arthritis Advocacy Group Releases CBD Guidelines,HEMP-CANNABIS.
Patients of all kinds swear by the benefits of CBD oil,
a derivative of the cannabis plant that also gives marijuana.
With many of those patients suffering from arthritis, the leading advocacy group for arthritis patients is closer to swearing by it as well.
The Arthritis Foundation recently announced guidance for adults for using the products, despite the legal limbo that surrounds CBD,
since it's technically illegal under federal law and can't be tested
by the FDA.
CBD may help with arthritis-related symptoms,
such as pain,
insomnia and
anxiety,
but there have been no real clinical studies in people with arthritis to confirm this.
While no major safety issues have been found with CBD when taken in moderate doses, potential drug interactions have been identified.
CBD should never be used to replace disease-modifying drugs that help prevent permanent joint damage in inflammatory types of arthritis.
CBD use should be discussed with your doctor in advance, with follow-up evaluations every three months or so, as would be done for any new treatment.
There are no established clinical guidelines to inform usage.
Recommend starting with a low dose,
and if relief is inadequate, increase in small increments weekly.
Buy from a reputable company that has each batch tested for purity, potency and safety by an independent laboratory and provides a certificate of analysis.
Seen users of CBD products claim positive results that have been on pain meds,
or arthritis meds
and it's either the side effects are terrible for them or
they're looking for an alternative to what they've been using.
Organizations to come out like that, think it's another step forward
in CBD becoming a product that's recognized to help patients.
When combined with another recent announcement that
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell just demanded in a bill that the
FDA take significant actions with respect to products containing cannabidiol (CBD)
there's a lot of progress being made to grow this industry.
