New #blog post: Spending A Week Without Medicinal Gummies

For the last 6 weeks or so, I've been taking a #medicinal #cannabis gummy in the evenings to alleviate chronic #pain in my knee.

Last week, though, I travelled for work and was unable to take my prescription with me.

This post attempts to take an objective look at the resulting difference in my pain levels.

Saps els gossos, que sempre volen el plat de l'altre? Doncs sembla que els humans fem el mateix.
Ho fem amb les medicines, i ho fem amb els aliments.
Ara mateix hi ha un munt de gent fent Kimchi i kombutxa i koji, i molt poca fent olives.

I no tinc res en contra dels fermentats foranis, però aprendre coses noves, sense conservar els coneixements propis, ho trobo absurd.

No se m'acudeix un aliment més mediterrani que les olives. I a més, com a fermentat, són meravelloses.

A part de ser probiòtiques, les olives en sí són plenes de compostos benèfics, i a més s'adoben amb herbes medicinals, que alhora tenen molts compostos benèfics, que les olives atraparan de forma molt eficient, fent-los disponibles a la nostra digestió.
Perquè hi ha compostos liposolubles (solubles en oli) i hidrosolubles (solubles en aigua), i les olives contenen oli i aigua i per tant els poden extraure tots

I a més a més, són delicioses.

#3D-Print #Implant for #Diabetic #Patients that releases #Medicine under the Skin

Engineers from MIT, recently created a chip with a 3D-printed component that can be embedded under the skin. This 3D-printed mechanism is able to release medicinal contents when the device is triggered by a wireless command.

“… we delve into the world of medicinal mushrooms, from the hype surrounding lion’s mane to the truth about mushroom powders, why most supplements fall short, and what truly makes an extract effective.
It’s raw, honest, and full of insight into one of nature’s most mysterious kingdoms.”

#Feverfew is a longtime #herbal plant that's been used in ancient traditional #Chinese #medicines for generations. Ancient European cultures used it as medicine too. Feverfew is also used to make fragrances. I grow a lot of them.
