Sunday House Call, #892, September 3, 2023: Cannabis Reality Does Not Necessarily Jive with Anecdotal Evidence

There are studies that come out that can potentially run contrary to the popular wisdom or urban mythos that subsequently receives a lot of pushback in response to new evidence. One such study from the University of Ottawa published in the British Medical Journal reviews 100 relevant clinical trials and meta-analyses regarding cannabis use and its purported benefits. The findings and evidence do not support the benefits of cannabis for various health problems and found limited evidence that helps with seizures, muscle spasms, chronic pain, and sleep but only for certain patients.

Also reviewed a study from University of Oxford that sheds a bit of light on why brain fog can occur after Covid.

Your calls and comments:

  • Liberation treatment for MS debunked many years ago
  • How long does coronavirus remain in the air when an infected person leaves the room?
  • A woman wants know why she is being sent to a gastroenterologist? Likely for colon cancer screening.
  • Achilles tendon strain
