CBD Hemp Oil Used at Children’s Hospital to Treat Epileptic Baby
At Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora, Colorado, Amylea Nunez, a 2-month-old old baby from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is making history. “She has a rare form of epilepsy,”Amylea’s mother, Nicole Nunez said. “They don’t know exactly the type.” And her doctors don’t know the cause.
Amylea began having seizures a few days after her birth. “About a day after we went home from delivery. Her heart stopped twice on us, and that was probably the hardest part on us,” Amylea’s mother, Nicole Nunez, said.
Amylea was having 15 seizures a day or more. The medicine they prescribed for the seizures is known to damage the liver, so the family asked the hospital monitor Amylea while they gave her Charlotte’s Web CBD oil, an oil derived from hemp that has almost no THC, not nearly enough to get anyone high.
In addition to epilepsy, CBD oil is being researched for use to treat various types of pain, anxiety, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, nausea, and as an antipsychotic.
Amylea’s father Ernie Nunez said,
We’re trying to use something different that’s not so bad on her body. After researching and month after month reading on it, we’re hoping it works because it’s a natural way and it’ll help her out.”
The Nunezes say they are trying to wean Amylea off the conventional medicine while using hemp oil to treat the condition.
They say she’s better. “She is a lot more alert today; she is looking around today and following our faces when we talk to her and whereas before when we talked to her she did not react at all,” Nicole Nunez said.
Statement From Children’s Hospital Colorado
Children’s Hospital Colorado does NOT prescribe or recommend medical marijuana.
We don’t yet have the science to fully understand medical marijuana and how it impacts children, which is why Children’s Colorado supports research to determine the safety and efficacy of medical marijuana. Children’s Colorado has a CDPHE-funded medical marijuana study that is strictly observational to assess response rates, changes in behavior and side effects of artisanal marijuana products on children with severe epilepsy. Enrollment starts at one-month of age. This study is for families who choose to provide artisanal marijuana to their children for epilepsy, and Children’s Colorado providers do NOT administer the marijuana.
Medical providers do not know the long-term effects that marijuana will have on learning, memory and behavior, especially in infants and young children. We have more questions than answers. This is a tough issue, especially in Colorado where families have easier access to medical marijuana.
If a family makes the tough decision to explore the use of medical marijuana, Children’s Colorado will continue to provide care to these children. Most of these families have children with very complex medical needs, and Children’s Colorado wants to continue to see them, help to monitor them and be on the lookout for potential adverse side effects.
Marijuana Suppositories Provide an Interesting Next Move for Medical Cannabis
Foria, a California company, has found a way to combine two of this today’s biggest issues -women’s rights and marijuana – into one tiny item: a suppository.
Oddly enough, the meeting of these issues has resulted in a treatment that’s better than ibuprofen for PMS and menstrual discomfort. The suppository, marketed under the name Relief, consists of organic and biodynamic THC and CBD (the active cannabinoids in the product) and organic cocoa butter. THC and CBD have been chosen for their ability to relax the nerve endings in the pelvis and surrounding areas while blocking out pain and soothing inflammation. The jury is out on whether Foria’s product is able to regulate hormones to the point that PMS is alleviated permanently, but women looking for an alternative to damaging ibuprofen, antidepressants, or synthetic hormones could do worse than use the THC and CBD in Foria’s suppositories for cramps, mood swings, and other menstruation issues.
Why You Can
Long-term use of antidepressants and pharmaceuticals with synthetic hormones impedes the body’s ability to produce its own hormones, and prolonged use of ibuprofen can cause kidney and liver damage. Herbal remedies like chaste tree berry, cohosh, dandelion root, and wild yam have been shown to relieve PMS symptoms.
Marijuana’s primary PMS relief comes from its status as an antispasmodic, muscle relaxant, and anti-anxiety substance. Foria’s Relief has found that these qualities result in a significant reduction in cramps and other menstruation issues. In contrast to conventional PMS relievers, the amount of cannabis used in Foria’s Relief is not enough to disrupt estrogen levels.
Why You Can’t
Sounds like it’s worth a try, doesn’t it? But here’s the bad news: you can’t get it unless you live in Colorado or California. There’s also the issue of price and it’s not clear how long the suppository works. At 11 dollars for each one, they have the potential to be rather expensive. There is also the issue of drug tests. While medical marijuana is legal is CA and all marijuana is legal in CO, people working jobs that require negative drug tests will have to be careful about their usage.
The Messy Details
Foria is in a unique position with this product – a new frontier, if you will, in marijuana medication. Inserting medications rather than ingesting them has the potential for its own problems, although the company is being transparent with their growing process and quality controls. Not everyone can afford or attain this product. But this is an interesting development in using marijuana as medicine, and with the current flux state of marijuana policy, it pays to be prepared.
7 Practical Tips to Help You Avoid Being the Victim of Medical Malpractice
In an ideal world, every professional to whom we trusted our safety or wellbeing would be brilliant and infallible. They’d never have a bad day, make a careless error, or put us at risk in any way. But in reality, even the most qualified and experienced medical professionals make mistakes. And unfortunately, some of these slip-ups can put lives in danger.
In fact, one study (link below) showed that each year, between 210,000 and 440,000 patient deaths occur due to preventable hospital or doctor errors. This fact is not meant to alarm you or convince you to lose faith in doctors, but to help you understand that it’s important to do everything in your power to make sure that these dangerous mistakes don’t happen to you.
1. Check Background
The first step to ensuring that you get the best possible medical care is to do your homework on the hospitals and doctors you choose, particularly if surgery is involved. You can start online, but keep in mind that there isn’t one master database out there that lets you see everything about a given doctor’s background.
Visit your state’s medical board website to find information like medical license status, education, certifications, legal and disciplinary actions. Next, head to the Federation of State Medical Boards’ Doc Info site, where you can pay $10 for the full profile of a doctor practicing in any state. Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon for doctors to be sued, so finding a record of legal action taken against your doctor isn’t necessarily a red flag since many are thrown out or won by the doctor. If you see several records of legal action, however, you should do some more digging online to find news stories that can provide more information.

If you see several records of legal action, however, you should do some more digging online to find news stories that can provide more information.
It’s also important to research the hospital where you’ll be treated, as many grave mistakes are not the fault of one physician but a facility’s flawed system that doesn’t have enough checks in place to prevent wrongdoing.
2. Tell Everyone Who You Are
You may feel silly doing so, but you should get in the habit of repeating your full name, birthdate and the procedure you’re having done to each and every technician, nurse and doctor with whom you interact. Many errors are caused by a simple mix-up related to these critical details.
3. Confirm Your Identity
According to the American Hospital Association, your hospital staff should always use at least 2 different ways to confirm your identity. So in addition to asking you to state your name and date of birth, request that they check your bracelet to be sure that you are the person who is supposed to be where you are before any action is taken. If there is a barcode on your bracelet, this should also be scanned electronically. On that note, the first thing to do when your bracelet is put on is to confirm that all information on it is correct.
4. Request Chart Checks
A nurse, doctor, or technician confirming your procedure is not enough – just because they state the right procedure doesn’t mean that correct information is reflected in your chart. So, be sure to also ask that they confirm the procedure details in your chart every step of the way.
5. Ask the Surgeon for Marking
Prior to a surgical procedure, it’s common for patients to be asked to mark the surgical site on their own bodies. But this doesn’t guarantee that the surgeon will know about that marking unless he or she is in the room with you when it occurs. So, don’t make any markings without your surgeon present.
All of this may sound like overkill or paranoid behavior, but the fact is that many major medical errors can be traced back to mistakes made during these processes. In 1995, for example, Willie King of Tampa woke from surgery to discover that the wrong leg had been amputated. What led to this horrific mistake was the fact that several documents cited the incorrect leg, which was also the one prepped for surgery. This may have been prevented had he been more involved in pre-operation procedures.
6. Forget Politeness
One of the most important ways to reduce the likelihood of mistakes being made in your treatment is for you to stop worrying about being polite. If a hospital staff member gets your name almost right when they ask you to confirm your identity, correct them. If your name is Anna Smith and the nurse says, “Annie Smith,” it could be because there is another patient being treated named Annie Smith, and if you don’t speak up, you might end up undergoing the wrong procedure.
If there’s ever even the smallest indication that something is wrong, stop everything and refuse to go further until it’s sorted out. At worst, you might feel a little embarrassed for making a fuss, and at best, you avoid being the victim of a mix-up that could mean serious injury or your life.
7. Bring Support
Finally, it’s always a good idea to have a friend or family member with you to be another set of eyes and ears making sure that everything is as it should be. There are times when you may be unconscious, in pain, or disoriented and having an advocate there could mean all the difference.
We, as patients, cannot control everything that happens to us when we’re in a doctor’s or hospital’s care. But the good news is that we’re not powerless in the process either. By being vigilant and attentive to everything that goes on, you can help prevent becoming the victim of medical malpractice.
Do you eat soy? Drink it? Supplement with it? Does the debate going on about the pros and cons of this now common legume concern you?
In the West, soy is no longer just for vegetarians or the health conscious. Meat eaters are also getting a dose, albeit second hand, as in fact some 98% of soy protein meal is used as feed for livestock. The animals eaten are likely to have been subsisting on soy themselves! Soy has made its way into popularised gluten-free products, and various health claims as to its prostate protecting, cardioprotective, and hormone balancing see it an ever-increasing commodity in the shopping basket.
Data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (2003) indicates that in most European and North American countries soy protein consumption is under 1 gram (g) per day; however, particular subgroups (vegans, vegetarians, and infants on soy-based formula for example) have higher rates of consumption. Many Asian countries consume much more soy protein per capita; most notably the Japanese at 8.7 g; Koreans, 6.2–9.6 g; and Indonesians, 7.4 g. The notably reduced rates of reproductive cancers and osteoporosis in these countries were originally hailed as evidence that soy properties (in particular the hormone-mimicking isoflavones in soy) are health promoting, anti-cancer agents. The increased incidence of other diseases such as cancers of the stomach, oesophagus, and thyroid disease seem to be forgotten in this dialogue. The high salt content of many of the traditional Asian soy foods may be in part to blame for these increased cancer risks. There is much more to the soy story than just the marketing hype.
Traditional Asian diets include soy in whole food preparations such as edamame (whole soybeans), miso, tofu, tempeh, nato, and soy flour. Many of the traditional soy products are fermented – a process that can reduce and eliminate some of the undesirable qualities from soy including endocrine disrupters, enzyme inhibitors and other antinutrients like phytic acid (a potent mineral absorption blocker) and enzymes that lead to trypsin inhibition (trypsin is an important digestive secretion).
In Europe and America, there is an ever-increasing trend towards using soy as animal feed, as a replacement for other foodstuffs, and as a “bonus” health ingredient added to products such as bread. In the West, soy is generally consumed in a highly processed form: soy protein isolate (SPI).
SPI is a highly processed product and is the key ingredient in most soy foods that are designed for their palatability in the Western diet. SPI is used to imitate meat and dairy products. Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is found in the vegetarian option or low-cholesterol products (sausages/burgers etc.) and sold on its own is also made from SPI. SPI is in soy baby formulas. The isolate is also utilised for various protein fortified foods, for supplements, and for protein and meal replacement shakes.
As SPI is not fermented, a number of other processing steps must be taken to remove unwanted properties. The process is highly chemical, leaching aluminium into the product from processing vats, denaturing proteins in the heat treatment, and introducing the development of further unwanted chemicals such as the carcinogen lysinoalanine (in alkaline processing).
Since the 1970s, soy lecithin has been widely used in food manufacturing as an emulsifier and sold in health food shops as a food supplement. The recent call for fewer trans fatty acids has resulted in a reduction in the use of partially hydrogenated soybean oil; however, soy protein ingredients play functional roles in baked goods, processed meats, and other products. Soy ingredients are also used to add nutrition to processed foods. If you are eating something packaged right now, take a look at the label!
On top of the concern that soy may not be entitled to its proclaimed status as a health food, the more sinister side to soy is the relationship between soy and disease. Soy is considered a goitrogen and is thus linked to reduced thyroid function. Suspected health threats from soy intake range from the mild – hypothyroid patients may need to increase their thyroxine medication, to the extreme – soy causes thyroid disease, various cancers, and serious hormonal issues in both male and female consumers.
In the USA and other major production countries, the vast majority of soy is genetically modified (GMO). In the EU, GMO products are required to be labelled as such (this is not a requirement in the US), but there is increasing concern about GMO contamination of non-GMO crops and the insidious infiltration of GMO (and other hazards) into the globalised food manufacture chain. We are ever more likely to be eating foodstuff such as soy in a way nature never intended. The safety of GMO produce is a long way from being confirmed. many scientists agreeing that is a dangerous gamble with unpredictable health consequences.
So should we be eating soy? A recent (2015) research project from the University of Illinois looks to have provided a key to unlocking the conflicting evidence. Researchers studying genes, soy, and breast cancer found that the compounds in minimally processed soy flour stimulate genes that suppress cancer, whilst highly processed soy isoflavones stimulate oncogenes that promote tumor growth. Genistein, the controversial dominant isoflavone in soy, was equally present in both diets used in the animal experiment. The purified isoflavones also negatively affected immune function, whereas soy flour had a positive impact on immunity. This finding supports the hypothesis that it is the synergistic action of properties in whole soy that confer health benefits, whereas highly processed isoflavones have the potential to produce the opposite effect.
The message at this stage is what we will always fall back to: eat as close to nature as possible. GMO foods have no place at our table. Highly processed anything is unlikely to be health promoting. If you couldn’t make it in your own kitchen, you probably shouldn’t be eating it! Moderate servings of traditionally prepared foods, provided you have good thyroid health and are not allergic (soy is a major allergen), may confer health benefits, but SPI is to be avoided.

You have probably heard the good, old mantra – it is not food that is making you fat, it is the chronic lack of physical activity. In some cases, the adage is true: you cannot expect to lose weight unless you get up and start working out. Unfortunately, tough trainings alone will not get you far on your slimming path because excess weight and obesity cannot be always pegged on sedentary lifestyle alone. Hormones, diet, gender, age, genes, and certain medical conditions also play an important role when it comes to the figures on the scale, and there are numerous science-based facts to support this.
Health Issues and Medications Can Trigger Obesity
Although scientists have not yet figured out all of the complex connections between body mass and hormones, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was found to be a factor in obesity and chronic weight issues. Around 50% of women diagnosed with PCOS are either overweight or obese, and some studies show that 70% of them suffer from insulin resistance, a condition that also contributes to weight gain. Other health issues hiding behind the obesity label include Cushing’s disease (a condition characterized by the excess production of cortisol in the adrenal glands) and hypothyroidism (an insufficient production of the thyroid hormone by the thyroid glands). Depression and disruption of sleep cycles can also fuel an existing weight problem, but medications used to remedy them do not always promise hope. In fact, some drugs can even trigger weight gain.
Certain Medications Can Contribute to Weight Gain
The list of medications linked to unwarranted weight gain and obesity includes certain antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihistamines, oral contraceptives, a few diabetes and high blood pressure medications, and most corticosteroids. This is bad news for both patients with chronic disorders and the pharmaceutical industry, but it is true: treating one problem can impact the development of another health issue, especially in terms of body mass. In these cases, physical activity can promote weight loss, but trainings alone will not be an effective remedy for obese and overweight persons whose primary cause of body mass problems is concealed behind pharmaceutical products and not just a sedentary lifestyle and an improper diet.
No Amount of Physical Activity Can Burn Thousands of Calories
We all know that habitual consumption of starchy foods, sweets, and too much trans fat inevitably shows in the belly area – but workouts are not a sufficient lifestyle change to reduce waistline inches. Do not fool yourself. According to the simple laws of physics, the more empty calories you eat, the chunkier you will be, and no amount of training will produce a visible effect without long-term dietary adjustments. Our bodies are intelligent mechanisms; they use fuel obtained through food for everyday activities, and store extra calories as fat for a rainy (i.e. foodless) day. This means that overweight and obese people (those of us with more than 20% weight than is considered ideal for our build, age, and gender) have surplus energy accumulated as fat, and they need to burn it off. Admittedly, you cannot starve for days and weeks on end so that your body could shed all the built-up fat – but what you can do is watch your daily calorie intake and swap foods that promote weight gain for figure-friendly alternatives. Of course, an odd cheat day is okay as it can help keep leptin levels and your dieting motivation in check, but bear in mind that cheat days occur usually once a week, not every time you feel sad, lonely, or bored.
Heredity Is a Force to Be Reckoned With
Some people use genetics as an excuse to justify their extra pounds, but heredity is not just a phrase to be thrown around lightly. Although their share in the total obesity count is relatively limited, certain hereditary conditions such as Prader-Willi syndrome can in fact be a major stumbling block on the quest for a lean figure. Certain studies note that heritability estimates for corpulence are surprisingly high (typically >0.70), as four genes in the human DNA (MC4R, PCSK1, POMC and BDNF) are responsible for monogenic and polygenic obesity. In addition to that, defects in eight genes have been linked to appetite regulation disorders, and there are also scientific studies that argue weight and body shape can be influenced by as many as 97 different gene variants. Although training can help with the fat-to-muscle ratio, certain genetic factors can get in the way of weight loss success and cause persistent chubbiness in spite of everyday workouts and an active lifestyle.
Although exercising is inextricable from increased muscle mass, weight loss, and a slender shape, it will produce little or no results unless other long-term factors that contribute to your weight problems are tackled as well. This means that you should run medical tests and establish the real reason behind your chubby looks, such as a lack of hormonal balance, insulin resistance, heredity, or simply one too many trips to the cookie jar.
Sunburst Diffuser by Drops of Joy Jewelry – Product Review
I admit it; I love jewelry. My collection is pretty impressive. When Drops of Joy Jewelry asked me to do a product review, I didn’t warn them. They had no idea I was a hard- to-please, discerning collector who would tell it like it is with no hesitation. But there was no need. I loved the locket they sent to me.
The company is aptly named. Drops of Joy is a reference to their jewelry’s functionality. That’s right, this is jewelry with a purpose – aromatherapy diffusion. They brag by stating, “Our jewelry smells better than yours!” There is another way this company spreads joy. They donate $2.00 for every item sold to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is the charity hospital that never charges families for travel, housing, food, or their child’s treatment.
The locket I received is called the Sunburst Diffuser. It is both beautiful and surprisingly sturdy. This is not the typical, delicate, silver-plated jewelry we’ve come to know with a finish that will flake off or hinges that will bend and break. This is a locket made of hefty, solid, stainless steel with a strong magnetic closure. I found myself playing with it – opening and closing it a dozen times because I liked the feel and weight of it.
The locket comes with three responsibly sourced leather dots. To use the locket as a diffuser, simply saturate the dot with your choice of oil or a combination of oils and insert it into the locket. If you are a vegan or for any reason you do not wish to use leather inserts, a substitution of felt inserts can be made upon request. You can also choose your length of chain (16, 18, 20, or 22 inches) for no extra charge. And shipping is free throughout the Unites States!
If you use essential oils, or even if you don’t, check out this lovely collection at Drops of Joy Jewelry. Stock up for gift giving, but don’t neglect yourself.
Hangovers – Facts, Remedies, and Protocols
There’s nothing like a good buzz, but add to it with another drink and tomorrow morning may be torture. Hangovers are terrible, horrible things, as many of us can attest. But ironically enough, while we’re all too familiar with the symptoms of too much drinking, a lot of us have no idea how alcohol actually causes hangovers.
Alcohol’s Effect
When we drink alcohol (ethanol, specifically), it makes it’s way through our digestive system. It is then absorbed into the bloodstream where it circulates until the liver is able to process it. Once it’s in the liver, the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, breaks it down into acetaldehyde – a toxin that’s far more toxic than ethanol itself. Luckily, the antioxidant glutathione is able to jump in with acetaldehyde dehydrogenase to break it down yet again, this time converting it into non-toxic acetate.
The metabolization of those Friday night cocktails is a pretty impressive process. However, as powerful an organ as the liver proves to be, there are limits to its detoxifying powers. The typical liver is able to process ½ oz of ethanol per hour (about one drink). When we tip back brews faster than we can metabolize them, our glutathione gets used up quicker than it can be replenished. There’s no other option but to put detoxification on hold while glutathione stores build back up. This leads to a build-up of the nasty toxin acetaldehyde, the culprit behind our hangover woes.
The Hangover
With alcohol in our system, our body stops producing the antidiuretic hormone ADH. Now all available water stores are tapped into — brain included — in order to flush the toxin out. This rise in fluid raises our blood volume, which leads to a spike in blood pressure. Luckily we’re able to offset this by sending fluids to the bladder, but every trip to the toilet deplenishes more of our water reserves, and precious electrolytes are being flushed as well.
With alcohol in our system, the body puts a halt on producing the stimulant glutamine — leaving us drowsy and ready to nap at a moment’s notice. This deep sleep won’t last though. Once our livers are able to process the last of the alcohol in our bloodstream, glutamine goes back into production and that booze-induced snooze is interrupted. Depending on the damage, waking up can be quite a doozy. All those lost water reserves leave us dehydrated, our brains shrunken, and our electrolyte levels low; a physiological recipe for disaster.
The “Cure”
We can try to prevent hangovers altogether by drinking plenty of water and giving our livers a much-needed break between drinks. However, there are bound to be nights that we get carried away. In that case, a dose of electrolytes, supplements, and eggs can be paired with a nice long Epsom soak.
The important minerals we call electrolytes play a crucial role in hydration, so they’re a must for Saturday mornings. Bone broth, potassium-packed bananas, and a dash of sea salt all offer a serving of these balancing minerals. Coconut water is especially popular thanks to its electrolyte content, so it’s a great thing to have in the fridge before you head out Friday. But if you want to step it up a notch, make it coconut kefir. A study through the American College of Gastroenterology showed that drinking one serving of alcohol per day (2 drinks for men and 1 for women) was connected to a higher count of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). This can leading to uncomfortable bowel problems like gas and bloating, and it can even reduce our small intestine’s ability to absorb important nutrients.
After drinking some liquid remedies, consider supplements like n-acetylcysteine. It can be taken before ordering that first drink to help the body process acetaldehyde and reduce the after-effects. Milk thistle extract is another helpful supplement that contains liver-protecting antioxidants that can also boost production of glutathione. Combine this with Vitamin C and the liver will get an extra shot of power in metabolizing alcohol. However, if your cupboards are bare of any vitamins or supplements you can always turn to the fridge for some eggs. Fried in a skillet or baked up as a frittata, they offer a punch of cysteine for inexpensive damage control that will help break down acetaldehyde.
If your joints are aching, draw up a hot bath infused with Epsom salt (aka electrolyte-balancing Magnesium Sulfate). Magnesium has much to offer aches and pains thanks to its anti-inflammatory nature. Plus, a good soak in hot water offers an increase in circulation that will help blood flow through the liver quicker, thereby speeding up the process of detoxification. And for more hangover magic, consider adding aromatherapy to your weekend bath. Thanks to the highly volatile nature of quality essential oils, the beneficial compounds can be inhaled as well as absorbed by the skin. Lavender is particularly relaxing and therapeutic while rosemary works wonders with migraines. Should help be needed with easing nausea, soothing digestion, or taming headaches, peppermint makes an excellent ally.
Important Factors
We’re always reading about different drinking limits for men than for women. This has many of us ladies ready to wage a drinking competition, but there’s a reason drinking recommendations differ. Levels of ALDH and glutathione are generally lower in women, so we aren’t able to be metabolized alcohol as quickly. There are also differences in the body’s ability to process alcohol between races across the globe, with people of East Asian descent often getting a bigger impact per drink because of the how their alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase process alcohol.
However, male or female, the suggested remedies above have great potential with those haggard weekend mornings. But while they can do much to tame the pains of a night out, they’re meaningless when it comes to binges and regular drinking. High amounts of alcohol over a period of time can do serious damage to our bodies. It’s also a sign of a bigger problem like alcohol dependency. A healthy body takes a healthy liver, and that means taking a break from the stress of alcohol. So, every now and then, show your liver some love with a virgin margarita or Bloody Mary. No hangover – 100%guaranteed.
Editor’s Note: Ahigh-quality probiotic is essential for recovering quickly from a night of drinking. Alcohol kills our beneficial microflora, but it does not kill Candida or other fungal spores that take over right away.

Amylea was having 15 seizures a day or more. The medicine they prescribed for the seizures is known to damage the liver, so the family asked the hospital monitor Amylea while they gave her Charlotte’s Web CBD oil, an oil derived from hemp that has almost no THC, not nearly enough to get anyone high.
