New Study Shows Cannabinoids Improve Efficiency Of Mitochondria And Remove Damaged Brain Cells

A recent study conducted by Andras Biokei-Gorzo at the Institute of Molecular Psychiatry at the University of Bonn in Germany is suggesting that marijuana(or the activation of the brain’s cannabinoid system) triggers the release of antioxidants, which act as a cleansing mechanism. This process is known to remove damaged cells and improve the efficiency of mitochondria. Mitochondria is the energy source that powers cells. The study was published in Philosophical Transactions Of The Royal Society, B. These discoveries shed new insight on how natural marijuana cannabinoids hold the capacity to literally kill the brain inflammation responsible for causing cognitive decline, neural failure, and brain degeneration. Cannabinoids refer to any of a group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis. Biokei-Gorzo and his collegues said that the greatest hurdle for moving forward with their research are the social and political challenges. Sources:

How to opt out | medConfidential You can read more about what happened by following the link above, but on 25 February the Secretary of State for Health confirmed to us in writing the operation of the opt out codes. The way the codes work has been fixed, and HSCIC has now published a page explaining exactly how they will work: Also, as of 18 February, care.data uploads have been delayed for a further 6 months until September 2014. If you have any concerns about care.data – and if you haven’t done so already – our advice continues to be to opt out now. N.B.

Mental Contrasting – Effectiveness, Uses, and Precautions Mental contrasting is a visualization technique developed by Gabriele Oettingen, a motivation psychologist who wished to improve the effectiveness of traditional self-control strategies like positive-future visualization. The technique has strong empirical support. For example, it has been shown to: Improve academic performance, leading to high quiz grades and significantly more time spent preparing for standardized tests.5,7Improve health, prompting more exercise, less unhealthy snack consumption, and more fruit intake. 4,8,9Increase help seeking and help giving behavior.2Increase the likelihood of taking steps to reduce cigarette consumption.3 Before going into the specifics of the technique, there is one important caveat – the impact of the technique is dependent on expectations of success. Mental contrasting when used by those with low expectations of success leads to reduced goal commitment and demotivation. Instructions 1b) Hone in the most positive aspects. That’s it.

BMC Neurology | Full text | Study protocol: münster tinnitus randomized controlled clinical trial-2013 based on tailor-made notched music training (TMNMT) Trial design This will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in parallel group design. RCTs are the gold standard for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment intervention [12] and our RCT will be performed in a double-blinded manner in order to control for non-specific and placebo effects. We will investigate a target and a placebo group. The clinical trial design is graphically presented in Figure 1. Participants (inclusion and exclusion criteria) The participants (estimated N = 100) are recruited by means of advertisements in local newspapers, our homepage, the homepage of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Münster and by the distribution of flyers to local ENT practitioners. The patients recruited for the clinical trial will meet all inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria 1. 2. 3. Exclusion criteria 1. 2. 3. Drop-out criteria Participants are declared as “drop-outs” if they indicate that they do not want to continue the TMNMT. Music spectrum treatment Target condition Sample size
