Opis

Chronic Relief: A Guide to Cannabis for the Terminally and Chronically Ill bridges the gap between the vast amounts of cannabis science and practical application for patients.  The book translates medical science into layman’s terms in a way that patients and their caregivers can understand and use to decide if cannabis is a fit for them, how to choose intake methods, understand risks and harm reduction strategies, and where to start in terms of establishing an effective dose.  Where science does not exist, it provides the best possible anecdotal information compiled from experts and patients alike.People from all backgrounds are curious about cannabis.  They are beginning to realize that much of the information they have been taught about cannabis is based on misinformation and fear, not science and reason. It is time we bring science to the forefront of the conversation about cannabis and dissolve the cloud of shame, secrecy and controversy around the use of this legitimate medicine and empower millions of people to get the relief they deserve.This book will help you understand:

• Why cannabis is a safe and versatile medicine
• ​How it works in the body to protect the brain, fight cancer, slow aging, reduce pain and inflammation
• Diseases benefited by cannabis
• Intake methods

Aggarwal MD, PhD, cannabinologist.org“Chronic Relief is not just a book about cannabis; it’s a book about living life to its fullest, designed to empower readers to take control of their own health.  Nishi Whiteley weaves together decades of cannabis research and experts’ previously unpublished observations into a coherent and easily accessible format, emphasizing the findings that are most relevant to patient care and successful use of medical cannabis.  The science is highlighted with hope-inspiring vignettes and all the practical tools and recipes required to achieve the maximal benefits and avoid the common pitfalls in cannabis medicine.  This will become my most highly recommended book to my patients and their loved ones.” - Dustin Sulak DO, healer.comRead more at http://mychronicrelief.com/cannabis-book/
