Pain and the Endocannabinoid System, A Physicians Perspective

The topic of pain and pain control is a very complex one with many different areas of concern and consideration.  I will try to outline this complex topic as it applies to the endocannabinoid system.  In my last article I briefly outlined this system and described it as an internal “buffer” the main function of which is to create homeostasis within our body.  When considering the topic of pain, a buffering process would be one that minimizes this pain perception.

 

The Endocannabinoid System, A Physician's Perspective

Most physicians are constantly learning not only for their benefit but, more importantly, for the benefit of their patients.  It is not surprising therefore that there is considerable interest in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) as this system has only been recently recognized and appreciated.  I think it is fair to say that over the last decade there has been more interest in the ECS than any other system in our body and understanding this system has generated an awareness of therapeutic potentials in many health-related areas.

COVID -19… A Physicians Perspective

September 2020

I am writing this as Medical Director of Medipure Pharmaceuticals to provide some of my own perspective to this very unique period in our history.

The WHO declared Covid-19 as a worldwide viral pandemic on March 11, 2020 and in our province (British Columbia) a province wide “state of emergency” was instituted a week later on March 18.

Coronavirus disease is a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.  This virus is in the same family as the virus that caused the significant SARS outbreak in 2002-2004.
