Can CBD Aid in Managing COVID?
There has been significant buzz surrounding a study suggesting that CBDA, the raw and natural form of cannabidiol, may have the ability to hinder the reproduction and transmission of COVID. CBDA is readily available from legal hemp and can already be found in some cannabidiol products. However, it is important to note that this study relied on computer models instead of conducting experiments on live animals or humans. While the results are promising, it is crucial not to disregard other preventive measures in favor of relying solely on CBD.
Progeria: A Potential Weapon Against COVID-19?
Imagine if a rare genetic disorder could be harnessed by medical professionals to combat viruses such as Sars-Cov-2. Progeria, a fatal condition that triggers premature aging, has been found to involve an enzyme that also contributes to the immune response against viruses. In the past ten years, researchers have been investigating the possibility of utilizing this enzyme to prevent viruses like COVID-19 from infiltrating host cells. Essentially, they are exploring the potential of using one deadly disease to fight another, without the adverse effects associated with either.
