RESEARCH - MEDI-HOOFF'S

No strict, product-specific studies are yet available for Med Marijuana products. To present background information on the health benefits of our Cannabis Sativa supplements, we are pleased to make available to the public a sampling of the reference material compiled by Med Marijuana on the health benefits of low-THC Cannabis and the component make-up of the oils.

For a complete review of the available literature please contact us to arrange a personal information session with one of our local distributors.

1. Eliminate or Reduce Foal Loss Syndrome

The implementation of alpha-linolenic acid has been shown to significantly reduce the effects of exdotoxemia in horses, according to research provided by the university of Georgia. The studies concluded that the introduction of alpha-linolenic acid decreased the adverse effects of equine endotoxemia therefore inhibiting the occurrence of laminitis, organ failure, colic and other systemic complications. Dr. James Moore spoke of the same findings at the 13th ACVIM forum. August 2000 issue of EVD has an article on the control of endotoxemia with dietary supplementation of alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid also dramatically enhances immune system response in the mare and foal in utero.

Whether a toxicity issue or bacterial/viral issue, ALA will help with this matter and work as a preventative. Regardless, the mare and foal will be much healthier after feeding an ALA rich product. ALA alters the permeability of the cell membrane regulating its "Gate keeping properties". These properties can stimulate the uptake of nutrients such as a feed additive like the mycotoxin binders prescribed for this problem.

Remember that by balancing nutritional deficiencies you will reduce your veterinary and pharmaceutical needs.

2. Joint, Bone & Connective Tissues in Large Animals

Dr. Michael Murry, as well as Dr. Erasmus talk about the effects of essential fatty acids on joints and inflammation. They speak of major improvements in treating arthritis, enhancement of joint lubrication, decreased inflammation after exercise and increased healing of connective tissues. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated a therapeutic effect when supplementing the diet with omega fatty acids in the treatment of many chronic allergic and inflammatory diseases including arthritis, asthma, eczema, lupis and ulcerative colitis.

A well recognized researcher in the field, Dr. Stitt, has conducted studies on animals showing an increase in bone density through long term administration of Omega fatty acids. He found a positive correlation with essential fatty acids and the associated healing time for quarter cracks. The enhanced integrity of joint and connective tissue and the increased bone density should be considered for a foal in utero and a weanling when optimal development is so crucial.

Essential fatty acids provide assistance with metabolism and toleration of lactic acid build up by balancing and increasing the production of the hormones and enzymes involved with performance. In other words, more speed and endurance. Optimization of cell, tissue and organ functions, optimum energy production and optimum waste and toxin management according to each athlete's unique genetic and physical makeup is key to peak performance.

The anabolic environment within the system created by the supplementation of EFA's in not evident overnight. It is a cumulative process which develops over a period of time. Adding EFA's to your daily feed routine consistently in the recommended dosage will produce the benefits previously discusses.

3. EFA's for Cracked Hooves, Coat & Immune System

Mr. Paul Stitt, while addressing a scientific conference in North Dakota reported that the combined Omega's increased bone strength as well as improved the silkiness and sheen of animals fur. When the diets of horses were fortified with Omega's, within three weeks their coats developed a beautiful sheen, and dandruff was greatly diminished. Within 9 months cracked hooves were completely healed. When a pregnant mare was fed the Omega's her offspring were larger, and grew faster than when previous to being fed the supplement.

Further research indicates that horses fed Omega supplementation and injected with the deadly organism escherichia coli were better protected than those not supplemented, suggesting enhanced immunity in these animals.
