Almost all states have now legalized its medical use, and many consumers and physicians are exploring it as an alternative to conventional treatments. There’s substantial evidence that marijuana (cannabis) is a safe and effective treatment for chronic pain, chemo side effects, sleep and mood disorders, MS, and Parkinson’s disease, among others. But there’s also misinformation about marijuana on social media. And most physicians have limited knowledge on the subject, while dispensary staff (aka “budtenders”) lack medical training.\n \nMikhail Kogan, MD, a renowned expert on medical marijuana, has found that cannabinoids (THC, CBD, hemp, and other cannabis products) can often be more beneficial, have fewer side effects, and be safer than many conventional medications, including opioids and other painkillers. But different ailments require different strains, doses, and routes of delivery.\nMedical Marijuana demystifies marijuana and other forms of cannabis in a user-friendly guide that will help readers:\n \n\n   • Understand how marijuana morphed from the days of “Reefer Madness” to being hailed as a wonder weed\n   • Navigate the complex medical and legal world of marijuana\n   • Understand the risks and benefits of THC, CBD, and other cannabis products\n   • Evaluate the pros and cons of inhaled and other routes of delivery: edibles, topicals, and even suppositories\n   • Find a doctor who can recommend medical cannabis\n   • Choose a reliable dispensary\n   • Learn how to evaluate labels on cannabis products\n   • Discover cost-saving strategies since medical marijuana isn’t covered by health insurance \nWith real-life patients’ stories woven throughout the book, simple explanatory graphics, and the most up-to-date information, this is the definitive guide to the wide-ranging benefits of medical marijuana and other forms of cannabis.\n      Review      \n\"Medical Marijuana is the book we have all been waiting for. A coherent, no-nonsense, scientific book that maps out A-Z the history, the science and the myriad applications for human health of this much maligned and misunderstood herbal medicine. It is essential reading for physicians, patients and consumers alike.\"\n\n–Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of The Pegan Diet\n      About the Author      \nMikhail Kogan, MD, is the medical director of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine and Associate Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Kogan has recommended medical marijuana to thousands of patients and is a frequent lecturer on medical cannabis to professional audiences across the nation.\n\n\nJoan Liebmann-Smith, PhD, is a medical sociologist and an award-wining medical writer who specializes in health promotion and substance abuse prevention.

All rights reserved.      \nChapter oneThe Long and Winding RoadMarijuana, which is derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has had a very long, convoluted, and controversial history. In fact, the term marijuana wasn't even used until the early twentieth century. Before the mid-eighteenth century, the plant was referred to as hemp (or Indian hemp) in English, and by a variety of names across the globe. The ancient Greeks referred to it as kannabis, which means canvas, because the plant was primarily used to make cloth. But it wasn't called \"cannabis\" in English until 1753-when it was officially christened Cannabis sativa by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus.Depending on what part of the plant was used, it was either turned into industrial fiber or consumed for medicinal or\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42553807274207,"sku":"S31629994","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/medical-marijuana-kogans-evidence-based-guide-health-benefits-cannabis-media-books-870.jpg?v=1699328867"},{"product_id":"pcos-gynecologists-lifeline-naturally-restore-your-rhythms-hormones-happiness","title":"Pcos SOS: A Gynecologist's Lifeline To Naturally Restore Your Rhythms, Hormones, and Happiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description      A breakthrough program to heal Polycystic Ovary Syndrome naturally10% of all women have PCOS, making it the most common female endocrine disorder and cause of female infertility in the world. Women with PCOS may suffer from acne, menstrual irregularity, infertility, obesity, autoimmune disease, diabetes, and heart disease. Traditionally, doctors treat symptoms one at a time, often with a new regime of pills for each symptom. This approach never addresses the underlying causes of PCOS so women are medicated but never healed.With decades of experience as a board-certified OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine doctor and with the knowledge gained from her personal PCOS journey, Dr. Felice Gersh has helped thousands of women lose weight, heal their acne, reverse their chronic diseases, and reclaim their fertility.In seven simple but revolutionary steps, PCOS SOS shows women how to beat PCOS naturally, replacing pills with powerful and scientifically-backed lifestyle interventions that harness the body's capacity to heal.

Dr. Gersh's book provides a deep understanding of the condition and a variety of treatment options that will help both healthcare providers and patients think more holistically and strategically about PCOS care. PCOS SOS can help readers discover options and answers that they may not otherwise find. Dr. Gersh's work is a jewel!\"  - Sasha Ottey, M.H.A., M.T.
