Cannabis is one of the oldest cultivated plants dating back 12,000
years and demonstrates medicinal properties including immune
support, anti-inflammatory effects, and cancer-fighting potential.
As cannabis receives regulatory approval in the United States,
clinicians will need guidelines to prescribe medical marijuana for
various health conditions. This book presents information to
healthcare professionals focusing on medical cannabis. It is a
science-based overview providing clinical recommendations and
dosing guidelines for practitioners to advise patients
appropriately. Features: Discusses the endocannabinoid system role
in homeostasis, pain control, and regulatory function in health and
disease Advises clinicians on cannabis use in patients with cancer;
cardiovascular, brain, and liver function; mood disorders; and
patients receiving palliative care Includes information on cannabis
nutrition as well as the cannabis microbiome Features information
on cannabis quality control for safe and effective delivery
Cannabis: A Clinician's Guide is written for clinicians providing a
resource guide to help them assess the medicinal value of cannabis,
answer patient and consumer questions, and recommend its use
optimally. The book is divided into three sections covering
cannabis science, use in clinical practice, and regulations and
standards. It includes practical information on dosing guidelines
and dispensary insights, personal cannabis stories, and an in depth
look at the nutritional benefits of cannabis and how to use it in
daily life. From the Author: "As a clinical nutritionist, I have
been involved in the use of cannabis since 1981 while researching
diabetes in India. Ayurvedic medicine listed cannabis as a
beneficial herb with curing properties. In 1983, a Chinese medicine
doctor in the Peoples Republic of China gave me a cannabis herbal
supplement for sleep that he claimed Chairman Mao took regularly.
Upon returning to the United States, no one would even talk to me
about cannabis because of its Schedule I status. During an
Antioxidants class taught for Everglades University, I included
information on cannabis, but was restricted from including it in
the course description. Cannabis: A Clinician's Guide unveils
deceit on this herbal medicine used for thousands of years
providing insight into the science behind its use and how to
incorporate cannabis into daily life, especially for those
suffering from neurological disorders, cancer, and mood disorders."
