When the concept of Your Natural Healthcare was born the the intention was to get in on the “green rush” as the cannabis industry was proving to be a profitable opportunity. We started doing research on what kind of service or product we could provide the market. Our commitment was that we provide something that was legal and sustainable.  What we found was a lot of red tape and contradictions in studies.

A quote from “The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research” a peer paper published by the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine is below. In reading just this selection you will see how unclear this industry is.

“Over the past 20 years, significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. To date, 28 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for the treatment of medical conditions (NCSL, 2016). Eight of these states and the District of Columbia have also legalized cannabis for recreational use. These landmark changes in policy have markedly changed cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. Based on a recent nationwide survey, 22.2 million Americans (12 years of age and older) reported using cannabis in the past 30 days, and between 2002 and 2015 the percentage of past month cannabis users in this age range has steadily increased (CBHSQ, 2016).

Despite this reported rapid rise in the use of cannabis, both for medi- cal purposes and for recreational use, conclusive evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms (Calabria et al., 2010; Whiting et al., 2015, 2016; WHO, 2016), often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health offi- cials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other substances whose use may confer risk, such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for the safe use or appropriate doses are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively (Freeman et al., 2014; Marsot et al., 2016). Moreover, studying the potential health impacts of cannabis presents its own set of unique challenges.

Current challenges include the existence of certain regulations and policies that restrict access to cannabis products suited for research purposes (e.g., Schedule 1 status; regulatory approvals), the limited availability of funding for comprehensive cannabis research, and crosscutting methodological challenges. Additionally, researchers are often unable to obtain the necessary quantity, quality, or type of cannabis product to address cutting-edge public health research questions.”

After reading this and many other unclear documents like this I determined that what we should focus on is giving our clients a solution and resources to natural, non-allopathic care. We have now gathered a powerful team of Doctors and other practitioners who believe in caring for the whole person. Or as they like to say “we have a higher care quotient than most practitioners.”

We will continue to provide many resources, remedies, practices and tools for living your most healthy and vital life.  We have products for Bath and Body, Skin care, Anti – Aging, muscle pain relief and we are developing more all of the time. Yes, we believe that CBD can make a huge difference in peoples health and vitality and we also know about a thousand other plants and practices that can make a difference. We will bring them all to you.
