Melatonin Levels and Cannabis

An article, given by the Caregivers for Life Organization, was very beneficial in the detailed information of the Rick Simpson Cannabis Oil, how it helps individuals with cancer and other illnesses. Rick Simpson is an individual that had cancer. His doctors eventually said that there was nothing more that they could do and heard research from an individual by the name of Dr. David Suzuki, with hemp oil. So Simpson started to produced hemp oil and orally ingest it, applied to to cancer on his skin, and within days was cured. 
But what I really found interesting in this article that “one of the essential parts necessary for healing our bodies is the pineal gland.” It produces melatonin which is a great fighting again against illness. In cancer patients, melatonin levels tend to be lower. Studies have shown that smoking cannabis increases the melatonin levels in our bodies! Since cannabis oil raises melatonin levels, the body PH is raised causing a detoxifying effect on the body to remove impurities." I found this incredible amazing and literally called my father right away to see if this research has been conducted with him. we have also seen that the melatonin the pineal gland produces is an essential part of healing. "When the function of the pineal gland is impaired, it produces much less melatonin and therefore we become sick and diseased. Melatonin travels to every cell in our bodies and is the key to good health. the cannabis oil helps bring the body's Ph level up, because it is important to have our ph levels in order, especially when aging because as we age we acidify and cancer thrives in acidic environments."  Also that “ the side effects of cannabis oil are sleep, hunger, and an all over sense of well being proper nourishment is vital to a body with disease. When we sleep our cells regenerate so rest is key to fighting off disease”. Yes, ever since i have started eating better and getting more sleep, my body has been feeling great, and honestly i have not been sick at all for 7 months now, since i moved out here pretty much.

According to the Bio Concepts Nutritional News "new research shows that marijuana may protect the brain and nervous system from injury. “A non psychoactive substance from the hemp plant, called HU-211, appears to reduce brain swelling and damage, diminish nerve cell death and improve recovery after head trauma and even stroke ” they also state that "Marijuana has also been shown to increase melatonin to extremely high levels." The University of Maryland Medical Center has shown me that melatonin has many effects on many different illnesses; insomnia, heart disease, menopause, many forms of cancer, adhd, autism, and chronic pain. There are some other illnesses and dieseases that are still conducting research, like epilepsy, that have both good and bad things to say about melatonin and their illnesses. But with cannabis, it can regulate your melatonin levels without having to take the actual pill.

  In a medical journal from Epilepsia, doctors had conducted research on children with epilepsy and whether or not melatonin plays a roll on their daily seizure episodes. their results from 12 children were the following: "With the exception of the parents of one child, all reported a significant clinical improvement in seizure activity during treatment, particularly during the night. Sleep studies showed a decrease in epileptic activity in two of the three patients who were monitored during treatment, and a change of sleep efficiency from 84.2% to 89.7% (NS). Improvement in daytime behavior and in communication abilities was reported by parents, although it was not objectively measured"
