Dear Sir or Madam. My daddy 57 years old.
In November 2017, my loved daddy was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS disease or motor neuron disease). Bulbar shape in the initial stage. Symptoms: the blurred (smeared) speech, twitching of the muscles of the arms and shoulder girdle, fasciculation (local contraction of the muscles of the tongue).
Now Daddy works at home, he drives himself, but he is very tired, has problems sleeping, often wakes up. The tongue twitches, it lasts for a long time, throats, coughs, muscles twitch.
I found an article on the Internet where there are statements, please tell me this is true or not ?:
1. Marijuana is a "neuroprotective agent". Does this mean that its active components can protect brain cells from damage associated with inflammation or oxidative processes?
Is it really so?
2. Scientists have proven that THC can stimulate growth of new brain cells (a process called "neurogenesis"). This property of the substance was first discovered by scientists from the University of Saskatchewan in 2005. The lead author of the study, Dr. Xia Zhang, noted that most of drugs damage neurogenesis, but marijuana - promotes growth. Do you have any statistics about it?
Can CBD or THC oil, pills or Canabis slow down the disease?
Please share your experience if you have one. Thank you!
