Jukeboksi: opponent -> proponent

'''Richard Stallman''' originated [[free software]] and the [[GFDL]] license used by the [[R&D wiki]]. He is a major influence on many debates on [[patent]] law as applied to software, and an proponent of both [[open source]] and [[shared source]]. He grumbles also about the [[consortium]] approach.

He created the [[GFDL]] and the "[[open patent]]" [[patent pool|pool]].

* Upgraded from legacy LTS 1.39.11 to new LTS 1.43. Made backups and imaged the system disk. Problems encountered:
** [[mw:Extension:OATHAuth]] did not seem to apply its schema changes, or perhaps the schema changes should have been performed in an earlier upgrade. Found workaround of manually running <code>mediawiki/extensions/OATHAuth/sql/mysql/tables-generated.sql </code> in [[mw:Topic:Yakailc03f0u43c0]]
** On [[ssfwiki:Main Page]] the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]] seems abandoned and was not compatible with 1.43. Noticed there is a fork of it that seems actively maintained [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo (fork)]].
** On [[ciumd:Main Page]] - Consumerium.org development wiki had two stray entries with null values where an article name should have been in its database, but this issue was resolved with knowledgeable and compassionate help from the good people at #mediawiki. Found the rows with <code>'SELECT * FROM pagelinks WHERE pl_title = <nowiki>''</nowiki>;</code>. The error I got from MediaWiki update.php when "Running migrateLinksTable.php on pagelinks..." and doing "Populating the pl_target_id column": <code>"Wikimedia\Assert\ParameterAssertionException from line 72 of [...]/mediawiki/vendor/wikimedia/assert/src/Assert.php: Bad value for parameter $title: should not be empty unless namespace is main"</code>

Lists of price comparison services

2025-12-01T11:42:52Z

Jukeboksi: /* Finland / Suomi */ reorg

This is the Consumerium by country alphabetical list of '''[[w:comparison shopping website|comparison shopping website]]s''', '''price comparison services''' or '''price aggregators'''.

'''These are [[w:metasearch engine|metasearch engine]]s for prices.''' Many of these services are sites combining price comparison with [[w:discovery shopping|discovery shopping]] and [[review aggregators and review sites‎|review aggregators]].

It is clear that the price aggregators will continue to define the price leader and it's level in goods that are traded over the internet. '''[[Consumerium:We|We]] hope that people will be willing to throw in a few extra £€$ for their purchase to support a mom-'n-pop's style brick-'n-mortar more ethical SMEs over huge transnational corporations'''. In the digital way of doing commerce even a small operation can have a catalogue of 1,000's or even 10,000's of items to compete with the big businesses catalogue-wise and if their price is competitive then that will help drive business their way.

This is the Consumerium by country alphabetical list of '''[[w:comparison shopping website|comparison shopping website]]s''', '''price comparison services''' or '''price aggregators'''.

'''These are [[w:metasearch engine|metasearch engine]]s for prices.''' Many of these services are sites combining price comparison with [[w:discovery shopping|discovery shopping]] and [[review aggregators and review sites‎|review aggregators]].

It is clear that the price aggregators will continue to define the price leader and it's level in goods that are traded over the internet. '''[[Consumerium:We|We]] hope that people will be willing to throw in a few extra £€$ for their purchase to support a mom-'n-pop's style brick-'n-mortar more ethical SMEs over huge transnational corporations'''. In the digital way of doing commerce even a small operation can have a catalogue of 1,000's or even 10,000's of items to compete with the big businesses catalogue-wise and if their price is competitive then that will help drive business their way.

** On [[ciumd:Main Page]] - Consumerium.org development wiki had two stray entries with null values where an article name should have been in its database, but this issue was resolved with knowledgeable and compassionate help from the good people at #mediawiki.

Jukeboksi: Upgraded the MediaWiki to 1.43.3 (LTS). Taking a snapshot and making backups.

[[User:Jukeboksi/Log/2026|Wiki log for 2026]]

Notes to self:
* Fix this https://develop.consumerium.org/w/index.php?oldid=4598&title=Near_Field_Communication '''RuntimeException: PCRE failure'''

== July ==
=== Wednesday 2025-07-02 ===
Upgraded the MediaWiki to 1.43.3 (LTS). Taking a snapshot and making backups.

Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot in preparation for MediaWiki upgrade to 1.43.2 (LTS)

== April ==

=== Tuesday 2025-04-15 ===
Subscribed to ChatGPT-plus.

=== Saturday 2025-04-12 ===
Upgraded the MediaWikis to 1.43.1 (LTS) with an upgrade script that ChatGPT helped me to make based on my existing documented workflow, helping me make it a proper script. Made backups and took a snapshot.

=== Friday 2025-04-11 ===
Making and verifying backups in preparation for upgrade to 1.43.1. Going to take a snapshot and upgrade the wikis tomorrow. With some help from ChatGPT I'm tweaking my semi-automated system for doing upgrades the "clean and safe" way by installing into a clean location and copying relevant files over from the older version wiki.

== January ==
=== Friday 2025-01-24 ===
* Upgraded from legacy LTS 1.39.11 to new LTS 1.43. Made backups and imaged the system disk. Problems encountered:
** [[mw:Extension:OATHAuth]] did not seem to apply its schema changes, or perhaps the schema changes should have been performed in an earlier upgrade. Found workaround of manually running <code>mediawiki/extensions/OATHAuth/sql/mysql/tables-generated.sql </code> in [[mw:Topic:Yakailc03f0u43c0]]
** On [[ssfwiki:Main Page]] the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]] seems abandoned and was not compatible with 1.43. Noticed there is a fork of it that seems actively maintained [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo (fork)]].
** On [[ciumd:Main Page]] - Consumerium.org development wiki had two stray entries with null values where an article name should have been in its database, but this issue was resolved with knowledgeable and compassionate help from the good people at #mediawiki. Found the rows with <code>'SELECT * FROM pagelinks WHERE pl_title = <nowiki>''</nowiki>;</code>. The error I got from MediaWiki update.php when "Running migrateLinksTable.php on pagelinks..." and doing "Populating the pl_target_id column": <code>"Wikimedia\Assert\ParameterAssertionException from line 72 of [...]/mediawiki/vendor/wikimedia/assert/src/Assert.php: Bad value for parameter $title: should not be empty unless namespace is main"</code>

=== Thursday 2025-01-23 ===
* Upgraded to newest version of legacy LTS: 1.39.11. Made backups of this state and imaged the system disk. No problems encountered.

* Making and verifying backups and taking snapshot in preparation of two-phase upgrade from MediaWiki 1.39.10 via 1.39.11 to the new LTS 1.43

Jukeboksi: /* Dandelion */ + #Breast cancer and dandelion

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

Cannabinoid receptor stimulation of fibroblast-like cells from OA and RA patients produced a time-dependent phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and ERK-2 which was significantly blocked by the CB1 antagonist SR141716A. The endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) were identified in the synovial fluid of OA and RA patients. However, neither AEA nor 2-AG was detected in synovial fluid from normal volunteers. FAAH was active in the synovia of OA and RA patients and was sensitive to inhibition by URB597 (3'-(aminocarbonyl) [1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-cyclohexylcarbamate).''

[[File:Marijuana.jpg|thumb|left|240px|Rare 11-leafer [[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]]]

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

# '''[[w:Flavonoid|Flavonoid]]s''' (or '''bioflavonoids''') (from the Latin word ''flavus'', meaning yellow, their color in nature) are a class of [[w:plant|plant]] and [[w:fungus|fungus]] [[w:secondary metabolite|secondary metabolite]]s. (Wikipedia). These account for around 60% of all polyphenols. Examples include quercetin, kaempferol, catechins, and anthocyanins, which are found in foods like apples, onions, dark chocolate, and red cabbage.<ref name="HealthLinePolyphenols"/>
# '''[[w:Phenolic acid|Phenolic acid]]s''' or '''phenolcarboxylic acids''' are types of [[w:aromatic acid|aromatic acid]] compound (Wikipedia). This group accounts for around 30% of all polyphenols. Examples include stilbenes and lignans, which are mostly found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and seeds.<ref name="HealthLinePolyphenols"/>
# '''Polyphenolic [[w:amide|amide]]s'''. This category includes capsaicinoids in chili peppers and avenanthramides in oats.<ref name="HealthLinePolyphenols"/>

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter.

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself.

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

=== Key things everyone needs to know about cancers and cannabis ===
'''Warning''': '''Smoking''' the cannabis as the method of cannabinoid delivery the smoke contains quite a few '''[[w:carcinogen|carcinogenic substances]]''' i.e. cancer inducing substances. See the section '''[[#Administering cannabis|administering cannabis]]''' for alternatives to smoking it.

Internet is rife with stories about winning the battle against cancer with the help of phytocannabinoids. What does the science say?

'''Cannabis is...'''
# '''Anti-proliferative''' - cannabis is against tumor growth <ref name=herb-co-cancer>https://herb.co/news/health/cannabis-kills-cancer/</ref>
# '''Anti-[[w:metastasis|metastatic]]''' - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity<ref name=herb-co-cancer/>
# '''Anti-[[w:angiogenesis|angiogenetic]]''' - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor<ref name=herb-co-cancer/>
# '''Apoptotic''' - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves via '''[[w:Apoptosis|Apoptosis]]'''. <ref name=herb-co-cancer/>
# '''Pain relief''' - cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer.
# '''Appetite stimulator''' - cannabis helps maintain a good appetite.
# '''Anti-nauseatic''' - cannabis helps with the [[w:chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting|chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting]] if you receive chemotherapy. World's first study of cannabis for chemotherapy's negative effects is underway in Australia. <ref name=herb-co-nausea>https://herb.co/news/health/world-first-cannabis-chemotherapy/</ref> <ref name="nsw2016">https://www.medicinalcannabis.nsw.gov.au/clinical-trials/chemotherapy-trial</ref>

==== The endocannabinoid receptors ====

[[File:Stock-vector-human-endocannabinoid-system-target-active-in-male-and-female-body-1237262152.jpg|thumb|right|520px|Prevalence of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. Photo credit: [https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Thanasp ThanasStudio]]]

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

Jukeboksi: /* Peanut allergy */ + '''''Daily doses of peanuts could desensitise adults with the allergy''''' at newscientist.com

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

See '''[[#Cannabis therapeutics]]''' for list of other illnesses that cannabis looks to work against.

The antiarthritic effects of ginger are particularly intriguing as these studies suggest that the antiarthritic bioactivity of this Zingiberaceae involves additive and/or synergistic effects of multiple components, including, but not limited to, the gingerols.''

==== The endocannabinoid receptors ====

[[File:Stock-vector-human-endocannabinoid-system-target-active-in-male-and-female-body-1237262152.jpg|thumb|right|520px|Prevalence of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. Photo credit: [https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Thanasp ThanasStudio]]]

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

=== Phytocannabinoids ===
[[File:Cannabis indica.jpg|thumb|left|360px|Female [[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]] plants. These are often good for pain relief producing a nice body stone.]]

Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, [[w:THC|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]].

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

Jukeboksi: /* Peanut allergy */ + '''''Oral Immunotherapy in Peanut-Allergic Adults Using Real-World Materials''''' at onlinelibrary.wiley.com, a 2025 open access study, published in w:Allergy (journal)

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

{{Q|There is more to it than that.|Science|above quote}}

Cannabis is anti-inflammatory which helps relieve some of the pain. Pain is a signal of inflammation so counter-acting inflammation causing things cannabis naturally helps lower the pain.

==== The endocannabinoid receptors ====

[[File:Stock-vector-human-endocannabinoid-system-target-active-in-male-and-female-body-1237262152.jpg|thumb|right|520px|Prevalence of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. Photo credit: [https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Thanasp ThanasStudio]]]

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

=== Phytocannabinoids ===
[[File:Cannabis indica.jpg|thumb|left|360px|Female [[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]] plants. These are often good for pain relief producing a nice body stone.]]

Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, [[w:THC|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]].

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

See '''[[#Cannabis therapeutics]]''' for list of other illnesses that cannabis looks to work against.

Cannabinoid receptor stimulation of fibroblast-like cells from OA and RA patients produced a time-dependent phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and ERK-2 which was significantly blocked by the CB1 antagonist SR141716A. The endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) were identified in the synovial fluid of OA and RA patients. However, neither AEA nor 2-AG was detected in synovial fluid from normal volunteers. FAAH was active in the synovia of OA and RA patients and was sensitive to inhibition by URB597 (3'-(aminocarbonyl) [1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-cyclohexylcarbamate).''

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

==== The endocannabinoid receptors ====

[[File:Stock-vector-human-endocannabinoid-system-target-active-in-male-and-female-body-1237262152.jpg|thumb|right|520px|Prevalence of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. Photo credit: [https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Thanasp ThanasStudio]]]

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

=== Phytocannabinoids ===
[[File:Cannabis indica.jpg|thumb|left|360px|Female [[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]] plants. These are often good for pain relief producing a nice body stone.]]

Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, [[w:THC|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]].

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

=== Oral cannabis ===

* '''[[w:Cannabis edible|Edibles]]''', '''[[w:Tincture of cannabis|tinctures]]''' and '''[[w:Hash oil|cannabis oil]]''' may be administered orally. Cannabinoids are soluble to alcohol and to fat and cannabis can be infused into many forms of edibles, but the problem is with efficiency as your stomach acids will destroy a lot of the cannabinoids.

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

See '''[[#Cannabis therapeutics]]''' for list of other illnesses that cannabis looks to work against.

Cannabinoid receptor stimulation of fibroblast-like cells from OA and RA patients produced a time-dependent phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and ERK-2 which was significantly blocked by the CB1 antagonist SR141716A. The endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) were identified in the synovial fluid of OA and RA patients. However, neither AEA nor 2-AG was detected in synovial fluid from normal volunteers. FAAH was active in the synovia of OA and RA patients and was sensitive to inhibition by URB597 (3'-(aminocarbonyl) [1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-cyclohexylcarbamate).''

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

=== Cannabis therapeutics ===

[[File:Cannabis sativa 001.JPG|thumb|right|360px|Male [[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] plants in late flowering stages.]]
Cannabis can be applied to treat a wide assortment of illnesses. In this case it is called [[w:medical cannabis|medical cannabis]].

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

=== Phytocannabinoids ===
[[File:Cannabis indica.jpg|thumb|left|360px|Female [[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]] plants. These are often good for pain relief producing a nice body stone.]]

Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, [[w:THC|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]].

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

'''[[w:Synthetic cannabinoids|Synthetic cannabinoids]]''' are a class of molecules that [[w:Binding affinity|bind]] to [[w:cannabinoid receptor|cannabinoid receptor]]s in the body — the same receptors to which [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]] and [[w:Cannabidiol|CBD]] attach – which are [[w:cannabinoid|cannabinoid]]s in [[w:cannabis|cannabis]] plants. (Wikipedia)

'''Word of caution''': Many synthetic cannabinoids are '''dangerous''' and should not be administered by others than medical professionals.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

=== Oral cannabis ===

* '''[[w:Cannabis edible|Edibles]]''', '''[[w:Tincture of cannabis|tinctures]]''' and '''[[w:Hash oil|cannabis oil]]''' may be administered orally. Cannabinoids are soluble to alcohol and to fat and cannabis can be infused into many forms of edibles, but the problem is with efficiency as your stomach acids will destroy a lot of the cannabinoids.

Jukeboksi: /* Allergies */ + == Peanut allergy == + '''''Deadly peanut allergies could be prevented with simple new method''''' at sciencefocus.com], April 2025 reporting by Hatty Willmoth

[[File:Naava.jpg|thumb|right|450px|[[w:Usnea]] is a [[w:genus]] of [[w:lichen]]. They are hybrid lifeforms: part [[w:fungus]], part air [[w:algae]]. Usnea contains [[w:Doxycycline]][citation needed], an [[w:antibiotic]].]]

Nature provides us with many healing agents but these are often pushed to the periphery of public knowledge to ensure big pharma profits.

'''Disclaimer''': [[User:Jukeboksi]] is not a doctor nor a scientist, but just a concerned citizen.

'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.

'''How is this organized?'''

The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.

Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

== Alzheimer's and cannabis ==
[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]

[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]

Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.

It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

See '''[[#Cannabis therapeutics]]''' for list of other illnesses that cannabis looks to work against.

Cannabinoid receptor stimulation of fibroblast-like cells from OA and RA patients produced a time-dependent phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 and ERK-2 which was significantly blocked by the CB1 antagonist SR141716A. The endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) were identified in the synovial fluid of OA and RA patients. However, neither AEA nor 2-AG was detected in synovial fluid from normal volunteers. FAAH was active in the synovia of OA and RA patients and was sensitive to inhibition by URB597 (3'-(aminocarbonyl) [1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-cyclohexylcarbamate).''

[[File:Marijuana.jpg|thumb|left|240px|Rare 11-leafer [[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]]]

'''Cannabis''' is the oldest and most versatile medicine known to humankind.

'''[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]]''' and '''[[w:Cannabis indica|Cannabis indica]]''' are the main cannabis variants though most strains are mixes of these. A third cannabis line is the '''[[w:Cannabis ruderalis|Cannabis ruderalis]]''', a rugged northern cannabis that has adapted to flower even under northern long summer days.

=== Cannabis therapeutics ===

[[File:Cannabis sativa 001.JPG|thumb|right|360px|Male [[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] plants in late flowering stages.]]
Cannabis can be applied to treat a wide assortment of illnesses. In this case it is called [[w:medical cannabis|medical cannabis]].

Due to the inbuilt default to always take the safe route and also to backup the back of your fellow MD colleague the Wikipedia does not yield the right infos on how useful and versatile a medication cannabis is.

Research has been held back by arcane laws even as cannabis is the oldest medicine known to man and it should be gladly appreciated and not outlawed because of big pharma interests.

Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid [[w:Cannabinoid receptor|receptors]] [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB1]] and [[w:Cannabinoid receptor type 2|CB2]], but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

===== CB1 receptors =====
CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs<ref name=p4mm>https://patients4medicalmarijuana.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/how-and-why-your-brain-makes-its-own-cannabinoids/</ref>.

===== CB2 receptors =====
CB2 receptors, primarily found in the immune system and also present in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, bones, blood vessels, lymph cells, endocrine glands, and reproductive organs<ref name=p4mm/>.

==== Endocannabinoids ====
[[File:Anandamid.svg|thumb|200px|[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]], an endogenous [[w:ligand|ligand]] of CB1 and CB2]]

The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

===== Anandamide =====

[[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]] was discovered in 1992 and it binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors. The name comes from the [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]] word 'Ananda' meaning 'bliss' and [[w:amide|amide]] from its chemistry.

It has been referred to as the endocannabinoid version of THC.

'''Synthesis''' of '''Anandamide''': Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-[[w:Acyltransferase|Acyltransferase]] -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + [[w:Phospholipase D|Phospholipase D]] -> [[w:Anandamide|Anandamide]]<ref name="EJR2017">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5685274/</ref>

* [https://herb.co/marijuana/news/anandamide-aea Herb.co on Anandamide]

===== 2-AG =====
[[File:2-Ara-Gl.svg|thumb|right|200px|2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous [[w:agonist|agonist]] of the [[w:CB1 receptor|CB1 receptor]].]]
[[w:2-Arachidonoylglycerol|2-Arachidonoylglycerol]] aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

'''Synthesis''' of '''2-AG''': Arachidonic acid -> [[w:Phosphatidylinositol|Phosphatidylinositol]] + [[w:Phospholipase C|Phospholipase C]]s -> [[w:Diacylglycerol]] + Diacylglycerol lipase -> [[w:2-AG|2-AG]]<ref name="EJR2017"/>

===== N-Arachidonoyl dopamine =====
[[w:N-Arachidonoyl dopamine|N-Arachidonoyl dopamine]] discovered in 2000.

===== 2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether =====
[[w:2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether|2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether]] discovered in 2001.

===== Virodhamine =====
[[w:Virodhamine|Virodhamine]] discovered in 2002

===== Lysophosphatidylinositol =====
[[w:Lysophosphatidylinositol|Lysophosphatidylinositol]] is a contender to be the 6th endocannabinoid.

==== THCA ====
[[w:Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid|Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid]] THCA is the what cannabis plants produce to fend off insects from harming it. In pure form THCA is a clear translucent crystalline of white color.

THC is produced from the raw THCA by a process called decarboxylation. Basically means to heat the stuff over certain temperature.

THCA found in raw marijuana apparently has some health enhancing properties. The issue is being researched.

== Administering cannabis ==

There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:

=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

Upgraded the MediaWikis to 1.43.1 (LTS) with an upgrade script that ChatGPT helped me to make based on my existing documented workflow, helping me make it a proper script. Made backups and took a snapshot.

=== Friday 2025-04-11 ===
Making and verifying backups in preparation for upgrade to 1.43.1. Going to take a snapshot and upgrade the wikis tomorrow. With some help from ChatGPT I'm tweaking my semi-automated system for doing upgrades the "clean and safe" way by installing into a clean location and copying relevant files over from the older version wiki.

** On [[ssfwiki:Main Page]] the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]] seems abandoned and was not compatible with 1.43. Noticed there is a fork of it that seems actively maintained [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo (fork)]].
** On [[ciumd:Main Page]] - Consumerium.org development wiki had two stray entries with null values where an article name should have been in its database, but this issue was resolved with knowledgeable and compassionate help from the good people at #mediawiki.

''' 2002 highlights '''

* Kalle Hallivuori sponsors the domain name Consumerium.org at Gandi.net and hosting at Pingviini.net after meeting Juho and hearing his raves about a future of consumism and browsing the handout the [[Lowest Troll]] had prepared just in case meet nice technically adept people:
* '''[[Consumerium]].org online (!)''' and first plan-of-intent of Consumerium in Finnish and English released.

''' 2002 elsewhere '''

Adbusters begins discussing its [[Greenscan]] service - also based on [[barcode]]s. Neither Adbusters nor Greenpeace has proposed an architecture for delivery.

Jukeboksi: moved Søren Kierkegaard's observation to the top

[[File:Consumerium.png|thumb|right|150px|The [[motivation]] why we need this kind of system remains the same. Many of the [[features]] have been implemented by others. There is still much to be done.]]

[[File:MediaWiki-2020-logo.svg|thumb|right|150px|[[mw:MediaWiki]] software has been developed very actively for over 20 yrs and it is vastly more powerful in its capabilities now. It's capabilities can be expanded with [[MediaWiki/extensions]], but one needs to choose carefully and wisely as some permutations of extensions do not work together and some extensions may be difficult to remove after having been installed.]]

{{Q|It is perfectly true, as the philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards.|[[w:Søren Kierkegaard]]<ref>[[wikiquote:Søren Kierkegaard#The Journals of Søren Kierkegaard, 1840s]] (1844)</ref>}}

Many of the planned [[features]] have already been implemented as services by both profit-maximizing and non-profit-seeking entities during these past 20 years.

'''PLANNING for the future'''

* [[Knowledge graphs]] consisting of linked data are a complicated field, but necessary for realizing the Consumerium goals.
* The need to handle conflicting data from alternate data sources arises from using other knowledge graphs.
* [[mw:Extension:Cargo]] allows storing and querying structured data in wiki
* [[mw:Extension:Wikibase]] is what powers [[Wikidata]].
* The [[test wiki]] could be reinstalled clean to the latest LTS and Cargo installed on it. Or many test wikis could be set up
* [[kuluttajistow:Etusivu]] - a Finnish language wiki for Finnish Consumerium at the domain Kuluttajisto.fi

'''Developments elsewhere'''
* [[Open Food Facts]] is doing a great job at crowdsourcing food product information.
* [[w:Solid (web decentralization project)]] seems very aligned in what it is trying to do and will probably succeed. Give the ownership of the data to the people and make the corporations play nice that way.

'''Needs freshening up'''
* The [[features]] should be updated to as of now and to include what existing services implement some feature, or even better, what friendly data source provides the data with a licensing setup that we can work with.
* The [[MediaWiki/extensions]] was an attempt at going through all the extensions and scribing up the potential ones. I did this in 2012, so 10 yrs ago and revisiting these extensions would be useful and educating.

There are {{NUMBEROFFILES}} [[Special:ListFiles|uploaded files]] but through [[mw:Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons]] many more pictures are available to be used.

There are {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} registered users, which is bit of a problem, because over 64k of those are bot registered accounts from back in the day

There are {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} admins. You know who you are.

Today the wiki is running on [[mw:MediaWiki]] {{CURRENTVERSION}}.

Consumerium development 20 years on

[[File:Consumerium.png|thumb|right|150px|The [[motivation]] why we need this kind of system remains the same. Many of the [[features]] have been implemented by others. There is still much to be done.]]

[[File:MediaWiki-2020-logo.svg|thumb|right|150px|[[mw:MediaWiki]] software has been developed very actively for over 20 yrs and it is vastly more powerful in its capabilities now. It's capabilities can be expanded with [[MediaWiki/extensions]], but one needs to choose carefully and wisely as some permutations of extensions do not work together and some extensions may be difficult to remove after having been installed.]]

Many of the planned [[features]] have already been implemented as services by both profit-maximizing and non-profit-seeking entities during these past 20 years.

'''PLANNING for the future'''

* [[Knowledge graphs]] consisting of linked data are a complicated field, but necessary for realizing the Consumerium goals.
* The need to handle conflicting data from alternate data sources arises from using other knowledge graphs.
* [[mw:Extension:Cargo]] allows storing and querying structured data in wiki
* [[mw:Extension:Wikibase]] is what powers [[Wikidata]].
* The [[test wiki]] could be reinstalled clean to the latest LTS and Cargo installed on it. Or many test wikis could be set up
* [[kuluttajistow:Etusivu]] - a Finnish language wiki for Finnish Consumerium at the domain Kuluttajisto.fi

'''Developments elsewhere'''
* [[Open Food Facts]] is doing a great job at crowdsourcing food product information.
* [[w:Solid (web decentralization project)]] seems very aligned in what it is trying to do and will probably succeed. Give the ownership of the data to the people and make the corporations play nice that way.

'''Needs freshening up'''
* The [[features]] should be updated to as of now and to include what existing services implement some feature, or even better, what friendly data source provides the data with a licensing setup that we can work with.
* The [[MediaWiki/extensions]] was an attempt at going through all the extensions and scribing up the potential ones. I did this in 2012, so 10 yrs ago and revisiting these extensions would be useful and educating

The top 20 articles in the main namespace measured by the number of visits for the year 2022 have been the following:

See [[Timeline of Consumerium]] for info on what has happened during these years that has been significant for the development effort.

[[Goals and means of Consumerium]] is the oldest mission statement document of the Consumerium.org effort from ca. 2001-2002.

'''THE CURRENT STATE'''

Uncontested facts: Today is {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} and it is week #{{CURRENTWEEK}}.

The wiki has {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} [[Special:AllPages|pages]] out of which {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} are articles with {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} edits, but would be structured differently if all the technological means and savoir faire of now would have been available when we started out with a handful of friends.

There are {{NUMBEROFFILES}} [[Special:ListFiles|uploaded files]] but through [[mw:Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons]] many more pictures are available to be used.

There are {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} registered users, which is bit of a problem, because over 64k of those are bot registered accounts from back in the day

There are {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} admins. You know who you are.

Today the wiki is running on [[mw:MediaWiki]] {{CURRENTVERSION}}.

The Consumerium [[development wiki]] turned 20 on Friday 2023-02-24 Fri Feb 24 2023 00:52:00 GMT +0000.<ref group="misc">UNIX timestamp for 20 yrs party is 1677199920</ref> and the [[motivation]] for Consumerium remained the same.

Many of the planned [[features]] have already been implemented as services by both profit-maximizing and non-profit-seeking entities during these past 20 years.

'''PLANNING for the future'''

* [[Knowledge graphs]] consisting of linked data are a complicated field, but necessary for realizing the Consumerium goals
** [[mw:Extension:Cargo]] is probably better for this use case than [[mw:Extension:Wikibase]]
** The [[test wiki]] could be reinstalled clean to the latest LTS 1.39 and Cargo installed on it. Or many test wikis could be set up
* [[kuluttajistow:Etusivu]] - a distinct Finnish language wiki at the domain Kuluttajisto.fi
* [[w:Solid (web decentralization project)]] seems very aligned in what it is trying to do and will probably succeed. Give the ownership of the data to the people and make the corporations play nice that way.

'''Needs freshening up'''
* The [[features]] should be updated to as of now and to include what existing services implement some feature, or even better, what friendly data source provides the data with a licensing setup that we can work with.
* The [[MediaWiki/extensions]] was an attempt at going through all the extensions and scribing up the potential ones. I did this in 2012, so 10 yrs ago and revisiting these extensions would be useful and educating

'''THE CURRENT STATE'''

Uncontested facts: Today is {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} and it is week #{{CURRENTWEEK}}.

The wiki has {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} [[Special:AllPages|pages]] out of which {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} are articles with {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} edits, but would be structured differently if all the technological means and savoir faire of now would have been available when we started out with a handful of friends.

There are {{NUMBEROFFILES}} [[Special:ListFiles|uploaded files]] but through [[mw:Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons]] many more pictures are available to be used.

There are {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} registered users, which is bit of a problem, because over 64k of those are bot registered accounts from back in the day

There are {{NUMBEROFADMINS}} admins. You know who you are.

Today the wiki is running on [[mw:MediaWiki]] {{CURRENTVERSION}}.

The top 20 articles in the main namespace measured by the number of visits for the year 2022 have been the following:

# [[Lists of review aggregators and review sites]]
# [[Unequal power relationship]]

'''HISTORY'''

{{Q|It is perfectly true, as the philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards.|[[w:Søren Kierkegaard]]<ref>[[wikiquote:Søren Kierkegaard#The Journals of Søren Kierkegaard, 1840s]] (1844)</ref>}}

See [[Timeline of Consumerium]] for info on what has happened during these years that has been significant for the development effort.

[[Goals and means of Consumerium]] is the oldest mission statement document of the Consumerium.org effort from ca. 2001-2002.

[[User:Jukeboksi/log/All Consumerium logs in one]] may also be useful viewing, at least for me, the [[Lowest Troll]]

The Consumerium [[development wiki]] turned 20 on Friday 2023-02-24 Fri Feb 24 2023 00:52:00 GMT +0000.<ref group="misc">UNIX timestamp for 20 yrs party is 1677199920</ref> and the [[motivation]] for Consumerium remained the same.

Lists of price comparison services

Jukeboksi: not a price comparison site - Undo revision 55499 by 183.88.220.162 (talk)

This is the Consumerium by country alphabetical list of '''[[w:comparison shopping website|comparison shopping website]]s''', '''price comparison services''' or '''price aggregators'''.

'''These are [[w:metasearch engine|metasearch engine]]s for prices.''' Many of these services are sites combining price comparison with [[w:discovery shopping|discovery shopping]] and [[review aggregators and review sites‎|review aggregators]].

It is clear that the price aggregators will continue to define the price leader and it's level in goods that are traded over the internet. '''[[Consumerium:We|We]] hope that people will be willing to throw in a few extra £€$ for their purchase to support a mom-'n-pop's style brick-'n-mortar more ethical SMEs over huge transnational corporations'''. In the digital way of doing commerce even a small operation can have a catalogue of 1,000's or even 10,000's of items to compete with the big businesses catalogue-wise and if their price is competitive then that will help drive business their way.
[[Image:Buy-local-whiteboard.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Please remember this especially when writing to [[review aggregators and review sites‎|review sites]] and why not even in when deciding where to buy]].
