Several states have explored ways to protect consumers from these surprise bills. Gov. Kemp Signs Landmark Healthcare Legislation July 17, 2020 Atlanta, GA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today signed several pieces of legislation to ensure a safer and healthier Georgia. Among the bills signed at a ceremony at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital were bills to reduce surprise medical billing (HB 888) and address Georgia's maternal mortality rate by enhancing access to quality and timely care for mothers on Medicaid (HB 1114). "This is a historic step forward for Georgia when it comes to healthcare, and frankly, it couldn't come at a better time - as our state and country face the greatest public health challenge we have seen in the 21st Century," said Governor Kemp. "When we began 2020, none of us could have predicted that we would face a pandemic and grapple with unprecedented threats to the lives - and livelihoods - of all Georgians." "We have faced sobering moments together, but today is a bright spot as we continue to streamline bureaucracy, increase access to care, insist on transparency and fairness, improve health outcomes, and put Georgia families first. I am grateful for the hard work of the General Assembly along with our partners in the medical field, frontline heroes, and local leaders to champion these much-needed reforms as we work to build a safer, stronger Georgia." HB 888 - Reduction of Suprise Medical Billing: HB 888 is a bi-partisan reform that puts patients ahead of the status quo and provides a fair process for billing that medical providers and insurers can agree on. HB 1114 - Postpartum Medicaid Extension: HB 1114 provides for an additional four months of Medicaid coverage for mothers on Medicaid, bringing total coverage to six months. Coupled with other investments, HB 1114 will dramatically improve health outcomes for Georgia mothers. During the ceremony at Wellstar, Governor Kemp also signed the following legislation: HB 521, HB 578, HB 789, HB 932, SB 28, and SB 395.

In this week’s episode we dive deeper into understanding medical cannabis. Does it really cure what ails you or is this all smoke and mirrors?   Fact: Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), the raw acid form of THC, is the most abundant non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. What is the endocannabinoid system (ECS)? a biological system composed of endocannabinoids first discovered in the late 1980’s promotes homeostasis at every level of biological life all vertebrates are known to have receptors have been found all over the body and interact with the major systems found within our body.   ECS is Made Up of 3 Parts Endocannabinoids Receptors in the nervous system and around the body that endocannabinoids and cannabinoids bond with Enzymes that help break down endocannabinoids and cannabinoids   Functions of the Endocannabinoid System Research shows it is an overall body modulating system, doing its best to get our body to balance and keep it there. Memory Appetite Digestion Mood Inflammation Energy Storage and Metabolism Stress Response Immune Function Female Reproduction Autonomic Nervous System Analgesia Thermoregulation Sleep Physical Exercise May play a dual role on the regulation of tumor generation and progression   Receptors Two Known receptors in our body that interact either with internal or external cannabinoids are the CB1 and CB2. Cannabinoid - The CB1 receptor is expressed mainly in the brain and nerves of the spinal cord (central nervous system or "CNS"), but also in the lungs, liver and kidneys. Endocannabinoid - The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the peripheral nervous system (nerves in your extremities), the digestive system, and specialized cells in the immune system   Risks of Self Dosing with Recreational Cannabis Not seeking recommendation on dosing from a medical professional may be problematic to the individual. Drug to drug interactions Self-misdiagnosis Correct dosage   Cannabis and Inflammation THCA tinctures infused with coconut oil or grapeseed oil THCA is non-psychoactive until introduced to heat Very effective in maintaining a healthy inflammation response   Cannabis and Sleep D. Anderson has said, "Less than six hours, and more than nine hours of sleep is bad." Often poor sleep is the root cause of issues like depression and anxiety Indica strain of cannabis plant is good for sleep - take one hour before bed L-Tryptophan is also a good option to aid sleep   Ratios You will hear 2:1 ratio, 4:1 ratio, 8:1 ratio, 16:1 ratio.

Cannabis/cannabinoids might protect the gastric mucosa by virtue of its antisecretory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilator properties. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1995764516300712     The use of cannabinoids as anticancer agents - In conclusion there exist solid scientific evidences supporting that cannabinoids exhibit a remarkable anticancer activity in preclinical models of cancer. Since these agents also show an acceptable safety profile, clinical studies aimed at testing them as single agents or in combinational therapies are urgently needed. Results from these studies are essential to clarify whether cannabinoids (and specifically cannabinoid-based medicines) could be helpful in the fight of cancer. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278584615001190

In this episode, we talk with John Malanca about cannabis! We tackle topics like, what is cannabis, how it used medically, the difference between THC and CBD, and much more! Fact: Most cancer patients do not die from cancer, but malnutrition. John’s Introduction into Medical Cannabis In 2011, father-in-law was battling stage 4 lung cancer, couldn’t eat, and was on oxygen 24/7. Doctor gave him two weeks to live. Started using a coconut oil capsule infused with raw and heated cannabis. Within 24 hours he was eating, by day 8 he was walking around the house. At the 3 month mark, switched to a full extract cannabis oil - administering a minute amount in the evening. Within 6 months he was walking, driving, and Hospice fired him as a patient! By the 9th month he had the first scan to show, “No evidence of recurrent disease." After 17 lung and brain scans showing no evidence of recurrent disease! He is still healthy and happy today - 8 years later!   United Patients Group Founded by John and Corrine Malanca to fill the information void surrounding medical cannabis. Don't sell products - strictly education and information. Teach local, state, international governments, as well as local, state and international medical institutions about medical cannabis. All courses are CNE approved continuing medical education.   What is cannabis? Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. Also known as Hemp if less than .03% THC in the composition of the plant Three species may be recognized: Cannabis Sativa – formulations that include more uplifting, “day time” feelings Cannabis Indica - formulations that include more sedative and relaxing effects, including pain reduction  Cannabis Ruderalis - (not discussed in the interview) naturally low concentrations of THC naturally occurring, more research is being done on this variation of the species  Cannabis Hybrid - formulations that are mixes of Sativa and Indica based plants made from crossbreeding   There are currently 483 known compounds in the plant. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although this is the main psychoactive components of the plant, it is also one of the main cannabinoids needed and used in medical treatments when Cannabis is on the protocol. Contains at least 113 cannabinoids (CBD).   Two Known Subtypes of Cannabinoid Receptors First discovered in the 1980s. Located throughout the body. Part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory, and more that have since been researched. These receptors are all over our body, head to toe. The CB1 receptor is expressed mainly in the brain (central nervous system or "CNS"), but also in the lungs, liver and kidneys. These receptors are thought to be one of the most widely expressed Gαi protein-coupled receptors in the brain The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the immune system and in hematopoietic cells. These receptors are mainly expressed on T cells of the immune system, on macrophages and B cells, and in hematopoietic cells. They also have a function in keratinocytes. They are also expressed on peripheral nerve terminals. These receptors play a role in antinociception, or the relief of pain.   What are Cannabinoids? A cannabinoid is one of a class of diverse chemical compounds that acts on cannabinoid receptors in cells that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain. 113 cannabinoids have been isolated from the Cannabis plant. Research shows the effect of cannabinoids might be modulated by aromatic compounds produced by the cannabis plant, called terpenes. This interaction would lead to the entourage effect.   Medical Uses Medical cannabis (or medical marijuana) refers to the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids, as well as terpenes, to treat disease or improve symptoms relief. reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS or cancer treat chronic pain and muscle spasms (MS and other nerve related pain) lessens tremors in Parkinson’s Disease control seizures reduce pain of cluster headaches in minutes cannabinoids are under preliminary research for their potential to affect stroke THC has been shown to kill cancer cells CBD has been shown to stop cancer cells and prevent the spread Many more!   Delivery Systems - Ways to Consume Medical Cannabis Sublingual absorption Topical Vaporization Suppositories Transdermal patches Edibles     Deeper Dive Resources   John Malanca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-malanca-7807956b https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/about-cancer-and-medical-cannabis/   United Patients Group: https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/ https://www.facebook.com/UnitedPatientsGroup/   The Sacred Plant: http://thesacredplant.online/t?orid=614242&opid=796&sid=D18L1_podcast https://www.facebook.com/oursacredplant/   Cannabis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis   Indica vs Sativa: https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/sativa-indica-and-hybrid-differences-between-cannabis-types   Ruderalis: https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-is-cannabis-ruderalis   Cannabinoids: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid   Entourage Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entourage_effect   Side by Side Image of Cannabis and Lyrica: https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/blog/2014/06/30/fibromyalgia-big-pharma-vs-medical-cannabis   Laws By State: https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/Medical-Marijuana-Laws-By-State   Studies in 2018: Cannabis Is Safe and Effective at Treating Pain in the Elderly CBD Protects Against the Damaging Effects of Iron in Aging Brain Diseases A Case for Balanced THC and CBD in Colorectal Cancer Prevention CBD Protects Against Endometrial Cancer by Activating TRPV1 Receptors THC Enhances the Pain-Relieving Effects of Opioids in Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study THC Boosts the Efficacy of a Traditional Neuropathic Pain Medication CBD Blocks Toxin’s Ability to Promote Schizophrenia-like Symptoms Cannabis Protects Against Alcohol’s Damaging Effects on the Stomach A Balanced Cannabis Approach May Treat Spasticity in ALS Cannabis Smoke Improves Working Memory in Underperformers The Entourage Effect in Rodent-Model Breast Cancer A Deeper Understanding of Cannabis’s Anti-Nausea Effects A Shift in Cannabis & Schizophrenia Theory Clinical Trial Finds Benefits of CBD in Autism A Novel Target for Low-Dose CBD Is Identified CBD Treats Brain Changes Caused by Regular Cannabis Use Transdermal CBD for the Treatment of Non-Opioid Addictions Plant-Derived Cannabinoids Improve the Efficacy of Cancer Treatment CBD’s Fast-Acting, Long-Lasting Antidepressant Effects in Rodents Cannabis-Based Pharmaceutical Improves Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
