    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 my late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with 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.

    Allergies[edit | edit source]

    Birch pollen allergy[edit | edit source]

    Curing birch pollen allergy with birch flowerings[edit | edit source]

    Below content is transcluded from User:Jukeboksi/Wiki.study/Natural therapeutics/How I cured my birch pollen allergy in 2000

    Illustration of Betula pendula (rauduskoivu)

    Starting situation: I used to have a bad w:birch w:pollen w:allergy that seemed to just get worse as years went by. I did not have that allergy from birth, but it developed at some stage.

    How I cured my birch pollen allergy in 2000

    The theorem: In the Spring of 2000, I formulated and tested my theorem that by consuming some birch flowerings I can make the allergy go away, by telling it very loudly enough that you do not make any sense.

    The method: I was living in Inner East Helsinki back then and every day when I passed a birch tree I would grab 2-3 flowering bunches and ate them with plenty of water, for the duration that they were present in the trees. This is called w:allergen immunotherapy, though I cannot know if consuming only pollen will do the trick or is there something else in the flowerings that is needed too for the allergy to call it quits.

    The taste: Like a carrot where from all sugar, water and orange color had been removed i.e. pretty bad

    Contains a side-effect: Occasionally I had perceptions like I was having a slight fever, but the allergy symptoms did not become worse from the consumption of the flowers.

    The unknowns

    1. I do not know precisely which catkins I ate and in which proportions, but looking at the pictures, I ate some of both male and female catkins in all stages.
    2. I do not know the species of the birch trees, but I could go have a look one day if any of them are still there.

    The end result: I have not had any birch pollen allergy starting from Spring of 2001. ~ Jukeboksi (talk)

    Information on birches w:Birch trees are of the genus Betula. In Finland there are three primary species of birch w:Betula pubescens (w:fi:hieskoivu), w:Betula pendula (w:fi:rauduskoivu) and w:Betula nana (w:fi:vaivaiskoivu) w:List of Betula species


    Alzheimer's[edit | edit source]

    Alzheimer's and cannabis[edit | edit source]

    Modeled is the toxic β-amyloid transmembrane protein structure.
    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 beta 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.

    Key things everyone needs to know about cancers and cannabis[edit | edit source]

    Warning: Smoking the cannabis as the method of cannabinoid delivery the smoke contains quite a few carcinogenic substances i.e. cancer inducing substances. See the section 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...

    1. Anti-proliferative - cannabis is against tumor growth [9]
    2. Anti-metastatic - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity[9]
    3. Anti-angiogenetic - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor[9]
    4. Apoptotic - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves via Apoptosis. [9]
    5. Pain relief - cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer.
    6. Appetite stimulator - cannabis helps maintain a good appetite.
    7. Anti-nauseatic - cannabis helps with the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting if you receive chemotherapy. World's first study of cannabis for chemotherapy's negative effects is underway in Australia. [10] [11]

    Phytocannabinoids are harmless to healthy cannabinoid receptor containing cells.

    Prevalence of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. Photo credit: ThanasStudio

    Human body contains 2 types of endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, but cannabinoids have interactions also on some other receptors.

    CB1 receptors[edit | edit source]

    CB1 receptors predominantly located in the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs[34].

    CB2 receptors[edit | edit source]

    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[34].

    Endocannabinoids[edit | edit source]

    Anandamide, an endogenous ligand of CB1 and CB2

    The two main endocannabinoids are Anandamide and 2-AG.

    Anandamide[edit | edit source]

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

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

    Synthesis of Anandamide: Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylethanolamide + N-Acyltransferase -> N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine + Phospholipase D -> Anandamide[35]

    2-AG[edit | edit source]
    2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous agonist of the CB1 receptor.

    2-Arachidonoylglycerol aka. 2-AG was discovered in 1994-1995.

    Synthesis of 2-AG: Arachidonic acid -> Phosphatidylinositol + Phospholipase Cs -> w:Diacylglycerol + Diacylglycerol lipase -> 2-AG[35]

    N-Arachidonoyl dopamine[edit | edit source]

    Phytocannabinoids[edit | edit source]

    Female Cannabis indica plants. These are often good for pain relief producing a nice body stone.

    Many people may know the 2 most prevalent phytocannabinoids, THC and CBD.

    Studies about phytocannabinoids

    Links about phytocannabinoids

    List of known phytocannabinoids from Wikipedia:

    THC[edit | edit source]

    Tetrahydrocannabinol is a partial agonist of CB1 located mainly in the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptor mainly expressed in cells of the immune system.

    Tetrahydrocannabinol was found in 1964[37] and it is the main psychoactive compound that brings the 'high' most recreational users are chasing.

    THCA[edit | edit source]

    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.

    CBD[edit | edit source]

    Cannabidiol has very low affinity for the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists.

    Cannabidiol was isolated and identified from Cannabis sativa in 1940[37]. CBD is not psychoactive and it has the most medical applications of all phytocannabinoids.

    “Cannabidiol has little affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists.[38]

    CBDA[edit | edit source]

    Cannabidiolic Acid is the raw form. Decarboxylating CBDA yields CBD.

    CBN[edit | edit source]

    Cannabinol is a sleeping aid and has also other therapeutic qualities.

    CBG[edit | edit source]

    Cannabigerol

    “Cannabigerol has been shown to promote apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth in mice. It acts as an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, and CB1 receptor antagonist.[39] It also binds to the CB2 receptor.[39]

    Making cannabinoids with yeasts[edit | edit source]

    Scientists have figured out how to splice the DNA of yeasts, so that they produce cannabinoids.[40]


    Cannflavins[edit | edit source]

    Cannaflavins A and B are very potent anti-inflammatory agents and thus help lessen the pain sensation originating from inflammation.

    Terpenes in cannabis[edit | edit source]

    Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers, and by some w:insects.[41]

    Links about terpenes found in cannabis


    Synthetic cannabinoids[edit | edit source]

    Synthetic cannabinoids are a class of molecules that bind to cannabinoid receptors in the body — the same receptors to which THC and CBD attach – which are cannabinoids in cannabis plants. (Wikipedia)

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

    Links about synthetic cannabinoids

    Arachidonyl-2'-chloroethylamide (ACEA) is a synthetic agonist of the CB1 receptor. (Wikipedia)

    Other plants that contain compounds that are active in cannabinoid receptors[edit | edit source]

    1. Echinacea contains N-alkylamides, that function via cannabimemetics to provide immune-boosting and is also used to relieve anxiety, fatigue, migraines and arthritis.[42]
    2. Black pepper contains high levels of the terpene called β-caryophyllene (BCP). BCP functions as a cannabinoid, and has a binding affinity with the CB2 receptor.[42]
    3. Flax (linen) seeds produce cannabinoid-like compounds very similar to CBD.[42]
    4. Cacao contains lots of magnesium, but also "happy-brain" chemicals like theobromine, phenethylamine, tryptophan, and anandamide. Cacao affects the endocannabinoid system by deactivating the enzyme called FAAH. This enzyme breaks down the endocannabinoid known as anandamide.[42]
    5. Black truffles contain anandamide.[42]
    6. Helichrysum umbraculigerum contains cannabigerol (CBG).[42]
    7. Rhododendron anthopogonoides (Chinese Labrador) contains anthopogocyclolic acid and anthopogochromenic acid and five related compounds known as synthetic analogues of cannabinoids: cannabichromene (CBC) type, cannabicyclol (CBL) type and cannabicitran (CBT) type, have been isolated together with geranyl orsellinic acid. [42]
    8. Liverwort contains Perrottetinene, a cannabinoid similar to THC.[43][42]

    Administering cannabis[edit | edit source]

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

    Vaping cannabis[edit | edit source]

    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 concentrates.

    Links


    Oral cannabis[edit | edit source]

    • Edibles, tinctures and 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.

    Links


    Rectal cannabis[edit | edit source]

    • Rectal - some doctors recommend taking cannabis rectally as this is method of administering allows you to take very large doses efficiently.[44]

    Links


    Topical cannabis[edit | edit source]

    • Topicals - for some skin affecting conditions this is a good way to administer the medicine. Many skin condition sufferers praise the combination of cannabis and coconut oil to make a topical to apply to the affected skin.

    Naval cannabis[edit | edit source]

    Right under the belly button there is a gland called Pechoti, which some say is a very good way to administer medical cannabis. Naval administration of medicine is a method used by the ancient Ayurvedic medicine.

    Dandelion root concentrates found effective against several cancers.

    The Dandelion Root Project at University of Windsor, Ontario has studied dandelion root since 2009 and they state on on their website:

    “Since the commencement of this project, we have been able to successfully assess the effect of a simple water extract of dandelion root in various human cancer cell types, in the lab and we have observed its effectiveness against human T cell leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, pancreatic and colon cancers, with no toxicity to non-cancer cells. Furthermore, these efficacy studies have been confirmed in animal models (mice) that have been transplanted with human colon cancer cells.[19]

    Chemistry of ginger[edit | edit source]

    The characteristic fragrance and flavor of ginger result from volatile oils that compose 1-3% of the weight of fresh ginger, primarily consisting of zingerone, ls, and gingerols with [6]-gingerol (1-[4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-3-decanone) as the major pungent compound.[47] Zingerone is produced from gingerols during drying, having lower pungency and a spicy-sweet aroma.[47] Shagoals are more pungent and have higher antioxidant activity but not found in raw ginger, but is formed from gingerols during heating, storage or via acidity.[47][48]

    Fresh ginger also contains an enzyme zingibain which is a cysteine protease and has similar properties to rennet.[48]

    Polyphenols[edit | edit source]

    Polyphenols also known as polyhydroxyphenols) are a structural class of mainly natural, but also synthetic or semisynthetic, organic chemicals.”

    More than 8,000 types of polyphenols have been identified. They can be further categorized into 4 main groups[49]

    1. Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) (from the Latin word flavus, meaning yellow, their color in nature) are a class of plant and fungus secondary metabolites. (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.[49]
    2. Phenolic acids or phenolcarboxylic acids are types of 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.[49]
    3. Polyphenolic amides. This category includes capsaicinoids in chili peppers and avenanthramides in oats.[49]
    4. Other polyphenols. This group includes resveratrol in red wine, ellagic acid in berries, curcumin in turmeric, and lignans in flax seeds, sesame seeds, and whole grains.[49]
