The CBD gummies hype - No worthwhile evidence that it alleviates...

...any condition, tinnitus included. Not on-line. Most are aware of the young lad whose life is (was?) cursed with daily multiple epileptic fits for which the stuff has done wonders. I don't know the details but I suspect it was delivered to him in a more sophisticated way than a lump of what looks like a cross between Turkish Delight and a fruit pastel.

Mine have arrived but I haven't taken any. The container can sit in the kitchen indefinitely until I find a glimmer of on-line assurance that I'm not fooling myself. That looks to be some considerable time, if at all.

If I have been gullible then all I've expended is the cost of 3 pints of Guinness. But that is the way fortunes are made - you take a little from many, not much from a few.

I’ve tried cbd oil and gummies and they didn’t help my tinnitus. I do believe they are beneficial in other ways though. Also you need to make sure you buy distillate instead of isolate. Our body has an endocannabinoid system so it’s there for a reason. All the best.

Thank you, Karlos. I've emailed the manufacturer to confirm.

Yes. I agree with beneficial in other ways. Pain management it looks like, especially arthritis. I was rash to dismiss outright the product in my above post.

But where are the clinical trial results from academia, Rosie? This stuff hasn't just turned up. It's been around for at least 6 years.

I am minded of the state of California. Both a seat of learning and awash with marijuana. You'd think they'd be falling over themselves to put it to the test, albeit deactivated.

The reason there isn’t loads of clinical trials is because they can’t make money out of it. You can’t patent anything naturally occurring. I personally felt benefits from it. Nerve issues and anxiety especially.

Clinical trials are conducted by academia in the first. Nothing about making money but expanding human knowledge. Academic institutions are keen to justify their existence and project themselves and this is one way they do both.

A big proportion for the funding of clinical trials come from big pharma. Anyway I’m just passing on my experience of cbd. Each to their own.

Quite so, but it remains a curious situation that clinical trials have not taken place. If Big Pharma believes they can make money out of it they would be right in there - either upfront or 'hidden behind' some commercial enterprise . But they are apparently not and I can't find out why (at least at the moment).

~Forgot to mention. CBD is not naturally occurring. It is a refinement.

Don’t bother with research, just bung in a few ingredients that have hit the headlines recently, sell it and make a lovely profit - what’s wrong with that? Research is for dummies.

If they added the above paragraph to their ads it would be truthful methinks.

Not what you're looking for?
