Dr. Dean Ornish Says Pot Grows Your Brain

Dr. Dean Ornish is a clinical professor at UCSF and founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. He's a leading expert on fighting illness -- particularly heart disease with dietary and lifestyle changes. Ornish shares new research that shows how adopting healthy lifestyle habits can affect a person at a genetic level. For instance, he says, when you live healthier, eat better, exercise, and love more, your brain cells actually increase.

Increasing the size of your brain has been proven to improve health and energy. Dr. Ornish lists several sources available to grow your brain and live longer. Dr. Ornish is a world renowned authority on fighting diseases with lifestyle and dietary changes. As clinical professor at University of California, San Francisco he has undeniable credentials and brain capacity to have his words taken seriously. Corrupted genes cause cancer.

According to Dr. Dean Ornish: “when you eat healthier, manage stress and exercise more, your brain gets more blood flow and more oxygen.”

Dr. Dean Ornish recommends following to increase brain cells:

Chocolate
Tea
Blueberries
Moderate intake of Alcohol
Stress management
Canabinoids (aka Marijuana)

Dr. Ornish recommends that you stay away from these factors that decrease brain cells:

Saturated fat
Sugar
Nicotine (only smoke marijuana, not tobacco)
Opiates
Cocaine
Large intake of alcohol
Chronic Stress

For all you potheads out there, it's a DOUBLE gift. On the list of items that grow your brain cells are not only Cannabis, but CHOCOLATE! Best of all . . . he says it in just three minutes.

Not satisfied with just Dr. Ornish's findings, we decided to find a respected supporting opinion. We did:

Medical Marijuana & Health Care Economics

Peter Kennedy for Salem-News.com

People have CB1 receptors in the brain. The body makes Anandamide to bond at CB1, and if you smoke marijuana that is where the THC likes to go.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Everybody needs Cannabinoids to be healthy. When your body does not produce sufficient cannabinoids, you need to supplement with medical marijuana to be healthy. When President Obama stops DEA raids on medical marijuana everything gets better: Health Care Costs, Medicare & Medicaid, PTSD Veterans, Auto Immune, Autism, ADHD & Chronic Pain Conditions. By encouraging scientific research, Obama will allow cannabis nutraceutical products to help everyone (when federal law allows), without the Pharmaceutical Industry or taxes or the VA.

This is ALL True. It is happening right now. Part of the solution to all these issues, exists in medical marijuana states. It is time to connect the dots of medical marijuana and the issues facing America today. We need to live, think & plan sustainably. We must create eco-friendly, economically sustainable solutions because Washington does not have any answers.
