It’s Brain Awareness Week!

March 11 – 17, 2019 is Brain Awareness Week:

Image of brain with text: Brain Awareness Week - What do you know about your brain?

Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord. Neurons normally don’t reproduce or replace themselves, so when they become damaged or die they cannot be replaced by the body. Cannabis can be used to help protect those neurons.

Cannabinoids have neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory qualities, which can prove useful in preventing, stopping, or reversing debilitating neurodegenerative disorders. Because of cannabinoids, cannabis has the potential to slow the onset and progression of neurodegenerative conditions.

Neurodegenerative diseases are incurable and debilitating conditions that result in progressive degeneration and/or death of nerve cells.

The most frequently diagnosed neurodegenerative disorders are:

  • Alzheimers Disease
  • ALS
  • Parkinsons Disease
  • Huntington’s Disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Prion Disease
  • Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Learn more about the brain at The Dana Foundation’s website! At Empower Your Odyssey we fully support research on the brain!

New on the blog! Medical Cannabis for relief during intractable epilepsy treatment!⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Discover Jakob's story of how medical cannabis helps with his treatment of Intractable Epilepsy.
.⠀⠀
Jakob's Mom told us:⠀⠀
"We were pleasantly surprised as everyone started to notice that Jakob was more alert, had better eye contact and overall better focus. .⠀
Jakob is now walking completely on his own and if I try to reach for his hand, he pushes my hand away as if to say “Mom, I got this!”
.
I have renewed hope that things will get better and better with the help of medical cannabis to keep the seizures at bay. I now see a light in Jakob’s eyes that I haven’t seen for a very long time."
.
