Quote Of The Month: “Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very first one will say, Congratulations To: To Your Health With Jourdin Hendershot: CBD Oil As An Alternative Treatment For Diseases In Adults — Part 1 Of 5
The use of Marijuana has been traced back to the Chinese about 2700 BC. According to Chinese herbal information it was primarily used as a medicine such as an anesthetic, an antibiotic or a sedative and was administered externally usually as a balm or smoked. In the 1800s, the tips of the plant were used internally to treat diseases like gonorrhea. The physical effects of the plant vary based upon the strength of the plant, how much is used and the user´s tolerance to it. The most common effects of use are mild euphoria, alterations in vision, judgment, distortions of time and space, drowsiness, unsteadiness, and muscular incoordination. Marijuana was not considered to be an illegal drug until the Opium Convention of 1925. By the late 1960s, most countries had outlawed the use of Marijuana and had very harsh penalties for possession, sale and supply of it. In the 1970s, the Netherlands became the first country to allow the sale and possession of small amounts of the drug. In the 1970s and 80s, several states passed laws to fund research on the medical use of Marijuana. In the 1990s, a dozen states legalized Marijuana for medical use but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against them. In 2009 Attorney General Eric Holder set new guidelines that shifted prosecutors away from the states that legalized medical use and focused instead on the illegal use and trafficking. In 2012 Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize the recreational use of Marijuana although according to the federal statute it is still an illegal drug. CBD Oil (Cannabidiol,) is thought by many to be a relatively new supplement. The fact is CBD Oil has been around for more than half a century but in recent years its popularity has been on the rise. In 1940 a Harvard chemist, Roger Adams, was the first person to extract CBD from the Cannabis sativa plant. At that time, he did not know what he had accomplished but a few years later he and a few other scientists realized what he had discovered and started researching the use and benefits of CBD. In 1946 Dr. Walter Loewe conducted CBD tests on lab animals proving that CBD doesn´t have the side effects associated with Marijuana. That same year Dr. Raphael Mechoulam discovered the structure of CBD leading to most people crediting him with its discovery. It doesn´t matter if CBD is derived from Hemp or Marijuana, it´s still CBD. The difference between the two is that CBD from hemp has a very low level of THC where CBD from marijuana has higher levels of THC and are low in CBD. For the most part, the most potent CBD comes from hemp and it is very rare to find strains of marijuana that come close to hemp as far as potency. Studies have continued over the years and in 1980 Dr. Mechoulam ran a study that showed CBD could be a key factor in treating certain diseases commonly associated with the aging population (Baby Boomers). This will be discussed in next month´s news letter. If you have questions you would like to discuss with Jourdin, feel free to drop her an email by clicking here.

Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn´t Know
Dental Talk - A Member Blog Forum:
These are just a few of the topics. Our blog site contains many other interesting topics. Please join us!! Questions From Our MembersD. Jamis of Atlanta, Georgia asks:“I went to the dentist for an exam and cleaning but when they found that I had heart problems, they wouldn´t do anything until my cardiologist sent them a letter saying it was ok for them to work on me. I think that´s dumb, don´t you?” Savon’s AnswerI guess dumb is in the eye of the beholder. The reason for the concern is probably due to one or more of the medications that you are on. As a rule of thumb, anyone with at heart condition is usually on some type of a blood thinner. The dental facility needs to know if you need to and are able to stop taking your medication prior to having a dental procedure performed.Tooth Talk With Tommy The Wisdom Tooth Seriously, What´s With The Wait?A reprint from our February 2010 Newsletter
Problems with anesthesia taking too long, an uncooperative patient, a cavity being larger or deeper than anticipated, a tooth fracturing at the root tip during extraction are all extremely common occurrences for the dentist and his assistants. When given the opportunity to leave chairside, the front desk is informed of the situation that is causing the staff to run late, unfortunately, not all dental emergencies and complications allow for the assistant to leave the patient to do so in a timely manner. In most cases, patient´s aren´t usually kept waiting more than an average of 5 to 10 minutes. Usually at the 15-minute mark, the front desk will notify the patient of the delay and offer them to wait or reschedule. Any longer of a wait, the patient is usually rescheduled, or, if the front desk knows ahead of time that the doctor is running behind, they may call ahead and reschedule your appointment before you make it to the office. Granted, in some offices this courtesy isn´t always extended, however, in most dental facilities, it is applied. If, for any reason, you´ve been made to wait at the office, I´ve always told my patients to:
Most of all, I´ve always asked my patients to be patient. Doctors will take the time necessary to finish the patient before you with the same expertise and care as he give would you. You wouldn´t want to be that patient they had to rush to finish, would you? Until next time; brush, floss and keep smiling! The Rural Side Of Things With Clayton “TR” Parker Smaller Things… Are Bigger
In a rural town however, there is a big announcement made, everyone is always asking “what´s being built there” and their grand openings are a big event which often includes a Chamber Of Commerce ribbon cutting and attendance by local dignitaries. Regardless if it is Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley, the Bullhead City Mayor and City Council are almost always on hand for a grand opening of a new business. Then, they are REALLY busy for a long time. Recently we welcomed Culver´s and Hobby Lobby. Culvers is non-stop and Hobby Lobby is very busy as well. Lastly, just about everything makes the news here. I mean EVERYTHING! We do not have a local news channel, so our newspaper runs most of the media and it branches out to live coverage via social media and local radio stations. If you get in a car accident, it will be in the news. If you get arrested, it will be in the news. If the police are called, it will be in the news. However it is not all negative. People within the community are constantly being recognized for the outstanding work that they do in the community. In a rural town, you learn to appreciate some of the smaller things in life, simply because the smaller things are what you depend on. Until Next Month, Embrace Your Community and They´ll Embrace You! |
