Synopsis

The health benefits of marijuana are now getting a good deal of attention. Yet hemp--a close relative of marijuana--is actually a far richer source of CBD, the compound responsible for effectively treating dozens of disorders, and contains very little THC, the substance responsible for marijuana's highs. Sounds like growing and using hemp is a win-win situation, right? Not quite, because the US government, which holds the patent for CBD specifically because of its healing abilities, has unfairly classified hemp as a Class 1 drug, thereby banning people in the United States from growing it commercially. If you find this confusing, you're not alone. That's why best-selling author Earl Mindell has written Healing with Hemp Oil, a straightforward book that will first help you understand what's going on with hemp oil in the United States, and then teach you how to use this valuable natural remedy to improve your health.

The book begins by looking at the important role the hemp plant has played in both Eastern and Western societies as a source for paper, textiles, rope, and so much more. This is followed by a discussion of the science behind CBD's medical benefits. The author then provides a consumer's guide to buying hemp products--especially its oil and its CBD supplements--and offers an eye-opening examination of hemp's legal status in the United States, from the 1900s to now. Finally, based on up-to-date studies, Dr. Mindell presents an A-to-Z guide to the many uses of hemp oil and CBD for various health conditions, from arthritis to depression to heart disease.

Although the United States has given CBD-rich hemp a problematic legal status, fortunately, this product--sourced from other countries--is readily available. Healing with Hemp Oil guides you in using this all-natural substance as a safe, side effect-free remedy.

About this title

Review:

"Pharmacist Mindell (The Vitamin Bible) offers a thorough examination of hemp (marijuana's 'cousin'), relating the oft-maligned plant's history and health benefits . . . addresses hemp's use as a treatment for conditions from acne to ulcerative colitis, going over each ailment's causes and symptoms, conventional treatments and their side effects, and how hemp can help . . . Mindell shines a bright light on hemp's potential benefits, and his spirited defense of the plant may even (as he hopes) stir up the reader's ire against those who would suppress it."
