About this listen
The word is out, and the fight is on for civilization to prove that cannabis, also known as marijuana, is the next superdrug. What fascinates me is our body's prebuilt system that feeds off of endocannabinoids, which are contained in plants such as the marijuana plant. I became interested with endocannabinoids because of their responsibility in creating the "runner's high" with which all long-distance and endurance athletes are quite familiar.
When I went to review this system out of fascination with its potency just from running for a long time, I found much more positive information about this system in all of our bodies that no one talks about. Join me in this audiobook to be fascinated by a system that makes our immune system look minuscule.
I am a professional trainer certified by the National Federation of Professional Trainers, certification number 45582.

Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is “in their head”. Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.

What pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know about modern medicine.... It seems like every time we turn around, there is a new "wonder drug" on the market. We've become conditioned to ignore the lengthy list of side effects at the end of medication ads. Why then, are people still suffering from the pains and illnesses these medications claim to fix? We'd like to think medicine and greed cannot coexist, but we have all had to pay for exorbitantly priced treatments that cost corporations a few pennies to make.

Getting a better insight into how your body really works can empower you and open up choices and possibilities so that you make the best decisions for yourself. After all, this is your body!

In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Thomas Cowan argues that this failure was inevitable because the oncogene theory is incorrect or at least incomplete and based on a flawed concept of biology in which DNA controls our cellular function and therefore our health. Instead, Dr. Cowan tells us the somatic mutations seen in cancer cells are the result of a cellular deterioration that has little to do with oncogenes, DNA, or even the nucleus.

Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded. In this provocative book, Dr. Thomas Cowan argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life.

While serving with the Peace Corps in Swaziland, Thomas Cowan encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A. Price - two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for decades to come. Both drawn to the art of healing and repelled by the way medicine was - and continues to be - practiced in the United States, Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice.

Story
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often - 200 times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake. As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last.

Story
You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every disease process, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia. It is called the "Great Imitator," and inaccurate testing - combined with a fierce, ongoing debate that questions chronic infection - makes it difficult for sufferers to find effective care.

Strong Orthodox Support
This author gives fast, clean, and powerful deep story at glance.
I think he’s a force for good on the planet and helping us see without false claims that hemp oil, cbd, htc supports the body in learning how to care for its self at a more comprehensive level as well as how other plants do that a little too!
Deliver is with clear empowered conviction yet specific pronunciation lacking at times.
That said -the love is palpable.

Medical cover up?
I looked up Endocannaboid System, this is what Wiki says "The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system (including the brain) and peripheral nervous system. The endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including fertility,[1] pregnancy,[2] during pre- and postnatal development,[3] appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory, and in mediating the pharmacological effects of cannabis.[4][5] The ECS is also involved in mediating some of the physiological and cognitive effects of voluntary physical exercise in humans and other animals, such as contributing to exercise-induced euphoria as well as modulating locomotor activity and motivational salience for rewards.[6][7][8][9] In humans, the plasma concentration of certain endocannabinoids (i.e., anandamide) have been found to rise during physical activity;[6][7] since endocannabinoids can effectively penetrate the blood–brain barrier, it has been suggested that anandamide, along with other euphoriant neurochemicals, contributes to the development of exercise-induced euphoria in humans, a state colloquially referred to as a runner's high."
SO, now that you know, I can tell you that Clinger does an amazing job in explaining all of that in easy to follow terms, while still being informative. He discusses how Endocannabinoids can actually fight cancer and reduce tumors, and are beingtotally ignored by the medical community. This would be a great introduction for someone with cancer to learn about this topic, or for a student to use as an aid or a reference in writing a paper.
Remington does great work narrating for Clinger. He is easy to follow, understand, and he adds something to what could be plain narrative. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review. So take my word for it, this is some fine fun writing.

A long road to human evolution
Loved it, but the narrator was a little shaky. This is new territory for all of us in the field, which makes this book indispensable for beginners. There's a long and winding road ahead, that will lead to logical common sense thinking about medicines and medical practice that actually works for healing the patient. This reading is good as any right now for wetting the appetite of those with less knowledge that want to know more.

Great info
This is short but has wonderful information. The narrorator needs to slow down and pause between paragraphs. It sounds as if its all read as one lump sentence. Which made it difficult to retain what was being spoken about. I personally couldn't tell where one topic left off and another was started. The topic is growing and its hard to find information about so this was nice but hard to listen to. I would still recommend.

Too Clinical!
The subject matter is awesomely covered; however, this book is a must for a medical student or even a seasoned medical practitioner; however, as a layman the reader came-off rather robotic and that sure didn’t help…btw, I was really glad that the 19mins was over, that’s right folks, it’s 15mins!!!

Good Summary of the ECS
The narrator couldn't pronounce endocannabinoid.. pronounced it differently throughout the reading. Informational essays like this need a narrator who at least knows how to pronounce the material.

Poor pronunciation of scientific terminology
The reader mispronounced several of the scientific terms used in this "book". This made it hard to focus on the content being read. Also, a very loose interpretation of the endocannabinoid system. Need more objective information rather than personal beliefs about cannabis and its potential. For example, no scientist or medical professional would suggest inhalation as an acceptable medicinal use of cannabis.
