How's About a List of Most of the More Prevalent Diseases, Disorders, and Syndromes We All Face?

A comprehensive list of the top illnesses treatable with cannabis and/or hemp-based cannbidiol medicine. I'm splitting it up in two parts, this is A through F...

My desert sunrise put through the Prisma app, lots of cool filters!

So, I'm going to drop off my list of most of the diseases, and syndromes, etc... that have been PROVEN to be cured, aided, helped, maintained, or otherwise held in check by the utilization of cannabis and/or hemp-based CBD oil. I've got several videos on this topic, but I'll leave things to you all to look into, and just a simple Google search will show you how these disorders are fixed up by cannabinoids in our diets and medicine cabinets, (stash boxes too). Go to my YouTube channel at [email protected] and I've got 107 videos for you to browse through. And my list is alphabetically ordered for quick reference. So I begin with Acquired Hypothyroidism and go all the way to writer's cramp!

So, starting with the "A's"...

*Acquired Hypothyroidism: *acute gastritis: *agoraphobia: *AIDS & related illnesses: *alcohol abuse, (remember that cannabis itself has the power to cure all addictions): alcoholism itself: *alopecia areata, (occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, and can be induced by severe stress): *Alzheimer's disease, responds well to cannabinoids, especially when THC & CBD are combined in the treatment: *amphetamine dependency: *amyloidosis,(a build-up of amyloid proteins in the heart, kidneys, liver, and other organs): *ALS, Lou Gherigs disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; a nervous system disease that weakens muscles, and impacts physical function: *angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart: *ankylosis, abnormal stiffening and immobility of a joint due to fusion of the bones: *anorexia: *anorexia nervosa... now, anorexia is a general loss of appetite; anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness where the patient has not lost interest in food, but they intentionally restrict their food intake, usually due to the fear of being or becoming fat: *anxiety disorders: *ANY chronic medical symptom that limits major life activities! I believe this covers all the syndromes I'm bringing up, as most any disease can present multiple symptoms: *arteriosclerotic heart disease: *arthritis, both osteo- & rheumatoid, and I can't find anything about psoriatic arthritis, but it may help that too: *anthropathy, AKA 'gout': *Aspbergers syndrome: *asthma: *ADD/ADHD: *autism: *autoimmune diseases. That's just the "A's", stick with me...

*Back-pain/strain: *Bell's Palsy, a sudden weakness in the muscles of one half of the face: *bipolar: *brain tumor, malignant: *bruxism, grinding of the teeth: *bulimia, and on to the "C's"...

*Cachexia, weakening of the body due to severe illness: *CANCERS! Adrenocortical, endometrial, prostate, testicular, and uterine; just to name a few of the more than 34 proven cancers cured by medicinal cannabis!: *carpal tunnel syndrome: cerebral palsy: *cervical disc disease: *cervicobrachial syndrome; this refers to a cervical syndrome with pain radiating into the upper limbs, and characterized by pain, numbness, weakness and swelling in the region of the neck and shoulder: *CHEMOTHERAPY!!: *CPS/CRPS/CFS, chronic pain syndrome, chronic regional pain syndrome, AKA, RSD, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy; and chronic fatigue syndrome: *chronic renal failure,(kidneys): *cocaine dependence, (another addiction): *colitis: *conjunctivitis: *constipation: *Crohn's disease: *cystic fibrosis...

*Damage to the spinal cord and nerve tissue: *Dariers disease, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by dark, crusty patches on the skin, sometimes containing pus: *degenerative arthritis: *DDD, AKA, degenerative disc disease; I got that in around 18 of my vertebrae: *degenerative arthropathy, a type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the end of the bones wear down: *DT's, AKA, delirium tremens, a group of severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as shaking, confusion, and hallucinations: *dermatomyositis, and inflammatory disease marked by muscle weakness and skin rash: *adult onset diabetes: *insulin dependent diabetes: *diabetic neuropathy: *diabetic peripheral vascular disease: *diarrhea: *diverticulitis: *dysthymic disorders, a mild, yet long-term form of depression...

*Eczema: *emphysema, (I'm fighting that myself right now): *endometriosis: *epididymitis, an inflammation of the tube at the back of the testicles that stores, and carries sperm: *epilepsy; and we've only just begun! Stick with me, and I'll keep adding more about the individual diseases as some folks have never heard of them...

*Felty's syndrome, characterized by the combination of rheumatoid arthritis, splenomegaly, (enlarged spleen) and neutropenia, an abnormally low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell important for aiding our bodies during the disease process: *FIBROMYALGIA! FMS has over 250 separate symptoms!: *Friedreich's ataxia, AKA, FA, FRDA; a rare inherited disease causing nervous system damage and movement problems, usually begins in childhood, and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia), that gets worse over time... So much for the "F's"...

Now! I'm thinking I'll submit this for publication and write the next story on the "G's" through the "W's", which will finish the list. And always keep in mind that ALL of these syndromes, illnesses, diseases, disorders, what have you, all come with a palette of symptoms for each disease. Hepatitis, for example, can show absolutely no effects, though some people may have pain in the abdomen, along with gastrointestinal bleeding, bloating, excess fluids in the abdomen; fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, webs of blood vessels in the skin, or yellowish skin and eyes, and weight loss. And the patient may have one or more of the types of hepatitis, such as Hep-B, Hep-C, cirrhosis of the liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, lower G-I bleeds, HIV/AIDS that attacks the liver, and peripheral neuropathy, to name a few of the hepatic diseases. I'm a Fibromyalgic, and I have a slew of differing symptoms; fibro has over 250 separate symptoms itself!

So, stay tuned for the rest of my list. From gastritis to writer's cramp! Positive healing vibes from the universe and free the Cannabacaea family from the prison of ignorance!

My notebook from when I first started researching cannabis and hemp. 70 page notebook, but 140 total pages, as I use both sides. This is where this story gets the list I'm sharing today.
