By Susan Boskey Who knew? In my article, Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells, I laid out the scientific evidence provided by in-vitro and lab animal testing. The fact of cannabis’ proven ability to kill cancer cells still only barely scratches the surface in terms of further needed assurances for the general public. What’s needed next are […]

Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells

,
By Susan Boskey Until recently chemotherapy and radiation have been considered the only game in town for someone to attempt to beat cancer. This, despite the fact that such treatments are poisons destroying the health of the immune system and its vital healing function while killing cancer cells — definitely counter-intuitive.

CBD Scammers: Not All CBD Is Created Equally

Cannabis Use Disorder: The Dark Side

,
Op-Ed by Susan Boskey Cannabis is a very good and ancient medicine that can help and heal many ills. Yet nothing, including cannabis, is ever all one way. When its plant properties are used correctly, cannabis heals but when over-used/abused it can totally ruin someone’s life. The difference between medicinal and recreational use is like […]

The Anxiety Epidemic, Antidepressants and CBD

By Susan Boskey Last week I read an article titled, “Anti-anxiety meds could be next U.S. epidemic.” [1] I think a better title would have been: Anxiety: a U.S. Epidemic.  How do we know anxiety is of epidemic proportions? We know because statistics reveal a dramatic bump in the number of antidepressant prescriptions between years […]

CBD to the Rescue

By Susan Boskey Cannabidiol (CBD) is everywhere today in health news. It has made cannabis respectable, once again. As one of over 100 chemical compounds in the cannabis plant and one that is non-psychoactive, CBD is a current stand-out in the cannabis family. Of course, it wasn’t always this way. After 81 years of prohibition […]

Holism, Health and Cannabis

By Susan Boskey Holism is about the big picture; it relates to the theory that nothing happens in a vacuum. When seeking answers to a problem, holism puts the emphasis on the ‘whole’ rather than the parts. The English Oxford Dictionaries define holism: The theory that parts of a whole are in intimate interconnection, such […]

A New Mindset About Wealth and Money
