Description
The cardiovascular system is one of the most complex systems in our body. The effect of cannabinoids on it is also very individual and regulated from many sides. The heart is not only a pump, but also an endocrine gland that produces hormones and molecules. There is also an increasing number of cardiovascular system injuries and one of the most common reasons for premature death and poor quality of life.
In this lecture, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tanja Bagar touches on important points:
- Heart attack: how far the heart muscle is damaged and how quickly it communicates this to the liver and how quickly the liver repairs the damage by supplying glucose, etc.
- EKS important link between intestines and brain. The tone of the entire immune system is in the intestines. A strict and tough school for immune cells. The heart is a connecting factor between these.
- heart has its own electromagnetic field. Coherence between the brain and the heart, the heart detects unpleasant situations before the brain and reacts before the brain. A typical feeling when we feel a pinch in our stomach, the signal comes from the heart.
- Endocannabinoid: GPR55 (cb3), GPR receptors, capsaicin, PPAR—are part of the ECS
- Plant cannabinoids work better
- What about the import of isolates or synthetic preparations to the NIJZ? Are the patients taken care of?
- The immune system is located near the heart muscle… they all have cannabinoid receptors
- Cells in the heart muscle have EKS receptors, CB2 is a more appreciative target for the cardiovascular system.
- Are cannabinoids introduced into a healthy cardiovascular system, used preventively?
- Do we introduce cannabinoids into a diseased cardiovascular system?
- Heart attack: blockage of a vessel, part of the heart is not vascularized...it does not get oxygen, nor glucose...if the ECS is healthy, blockage of a vessel is a relatively small risk...if it happens, high concentrations of cannabinoids are produced, which trigger the action of many enzymes, which repair it and reduce inflammation...
- With CBD, the damage is more than halved if they have it in their blood before or after a heart attack...faster recovery, fewer complications...
- THC and anandamide: vasodilation
- Cannabinoids and heartbeat: CBD does nothing acute with the heart rate, THC causes a jump in heart rate immediately upon ingestion, for a short time, and can therefore trigger feelings of panic and anxiety.
- Blood pressure: triphasic effect, CBD does not have a pronounced acute effect, anandamide triggers a first decrease, a rapid increase and then a longer decrease. Very different if a person is sleeping or awake. The drop in pressure is smaller if we are awake. And also if the use is acute or chronic. When tolerance occurs, there is no longer a pronounced effect.
- Who is the “good, the bad and the ugly”? Natural cannabinoids, isolates or synthetics?
- Atherosclerosis: the first common disease, clogged arteries, problem with oxidized fats, trans fats, ratio between omega 3 and omega 6, inadequate liver function...necessary improvement of metabolism
- Cholesterol is the shell of every one of our cells, we need it constantly. In the places of plaques there is inflammation and oxidized fats, so it has a good antioxidant effect. Cannabinoids have proven to be the best compared to vitamins and minerals in improving the flexibility and fluidity of blood vessels. CBD and CBG in particular. After two to three months, the condition already improves.
- Hypertension: d-limonene, CBD and cannabinoids, THC in microdoses. The longer hypertension is present, the longer we need therapy. 20 mg daily maintenance dose. 5 to 10 mg every half hour, if our blood pressure ever jumps…
- Arrhythmia: various forms of irregular heartbeat, internal conflicts, THC is not desirable, effects are achieved with low doses, microdosing. Especially stressful situations. 3-5-10 mg per day, better tolerance of chronic stress
- Synthetic cannabinoid Rimonabant – blocks THC, increased thermogenesis, improved metabolism. But if we block THC, the excitability of our nervous system changes, the body's ability to compensate for the changes... a year later neurological side effects, psychiatric problems, weakness, anxiety, cramps, depression, suicides
- The ECS is the body's overarching regulatory system, our own molecules and plant-based ones are never irreversible like synthetic cannabinoids
- septic shock: the body produces huge amounts of anandamide, greater chance of survival. Antibiotics make the situation worse because the metabolites from the bacteria are an additional burden, cannabinoids can be used more successfully in these cases….
- The importance of product purity and quality
- Drug interaction: mostly consistent, with a two-hour window between drug and CBD (drug first, then CBD).
