Medical Terpenes

If they can synthesize it but what most often happens is you find it doesn't work as well as the plant itself the second thing and is the typical pharmaceutical model they'll say okay ingredient is there. Buy Terpenes we're going dicker with the molecule in a way to make it more potent and longer-lasting and they typically do this by sticking on hearing molecules or halogen eating it typically is fluorination which often booths the potency of a molecule but introduces possible toxicity so the more traditional model of pharmaceutical development is to say we have a target receptor we're going to computer design a molecule that will lodge on that receptor with the highest potency in the highest affinity and that that's how you start the problem is that very often way down the road sometimes years later they find out that there's some previously unknown toxicity associated with it that it poisons the liver or poisons the bone marrow.

 

And so we have a situation where all too frequently drugs that have been approved in the EU or by the FDA in the US make it to the market and then when thousands of people are using it all of a sudden we discover some previously unknown toxicity in their yank from the market in contrast botanical medicine is based on traditional knowledge where people may have been using this for many thousands of years True Terpenes so we're well aware of what their inherent toxicity maybe and this is usually quite limited I'm not going to say all plants from major safe that's ridiculous are there plenty of poisons in nature but you know that also raises the point the words for medicine and poison are synonymous and many languages around the world including Greek.

 

So it's a matter of dose yeah right yeah you know again there are two groups of physicians those that strictly adhere to the modern pharmaceutical approach on those that realize that there's a place for natural medicine often in conjunction with conventional pharmacotherapy I'm one of those yeah absolutely I love the way you describe that I had another recent guest dr. Rachel Knox on the show and she described in a similar way that you know the synthesized molecules may fit perfectly on the receptor is designed as close to doing that but it doesn't break down in the same way so it might stick around for longer than it's needed etc and these are the things that over time cause unwanted effects yeah whereas all of the other magic that happens in the plant helps to keep it there for as long as it's needed and then gets rid of it very efficiently yeah Terpenes for sale I'm glad you brought that up raises an important point unnhhh and amide the endogenous cannabinoids and teach here both what are called weak partial agonist at the cb1 receptor so what that means is that they bind to that receptor but only weakly so they're working in a subtle way this is in contrast to the synthetic cannabinoids that some people are using to evade drug testing so k2 spice and hundreds of other molecules often these are full agonist that might be a hundred times a more potent than THC so these are downright dangerous and it's not just that mechanism often these have off target effects that produce toxicity of their own so.
