  We’re a bit hard on   Nick Cannon   when it comes to him rapping. We always knew him first for his talents as an actor/comedian. But like any true by-product of the Hip Hop generation, Cannon utilizes music to express himself too. While some of us aren’t fans of his rapping, we’re going to give him a pass on his latest freestyle though. Baring it all on the mic, Cannon raps about his recent hospitalization – due to complications with having Lupus – Obama, Mariah Carey, and more. “Obama Care so reckless, yo. Got us by the testicles. But President Obama was on point like a decimal.” He then raps.. “Turn up and snatched my kids from my wife house. Outside screaming ‘bout never needed your money! Seen the TV show, now that sh*t ain’t that funny.” Listen to “ Ncredible Freestyle ” below!

On top of making life difficult for people of color and making cartels and crooks filthy rich, marijuana prohibition has stymied scientific research. This has had long-term negative consequences we’re still struggling to overcome. We’re unsure of the long-term effects of THC on the body and the brain. We don’t have a solid idea how to test for marijuana intoxication. Worse of all, worldwide marijuana prohibition interrupted vital work dating from the 1970s and 1980s where researchers examined marijuana’s value as a love aid. Luckily for humanity, researchers from several European research universities recently dug out these dusty, presumably hairy tomes . And as Business Insider first reported , they found that marijuana was more valuable for the unlucky in love than Spanish fly (and less disgusting, deadly  and borderline rape-y). In “roughly half the reported cases,” people who used cannabis prior to getting down reported “aphrodisiac effects,” the study found, creatin...

A health and willingness coaching study conducted for over a year has revealed that Fibromyalgia patients can benefit by combining their medication with health and wellness programs. Published in the journal BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders titled A Pilot Study Of Health And Wellness Coaching For Fibromyalgia , the study has shown the effectiveness of heal and wellness coaching(HWC).  According to the authors, the study employedHealth professionals who were capable of coaching tasks, knowledge,skills and competencies. Thecoaching competencies werebased on evidence-based theories of behavior change, self-determination, self-efficacy, self-regulation, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing. Data collected from 9 willing patients between 18 to 65 with fibromyalgia who weren’t taking any medication other than fibromyalgia were used in this study.Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR), which is used to measure work status, physical functioning, depression...

Weed Legalization's Grossest Side Effect is Also Its Most Mysterious O ne of the main reasons marijuana is prescribed in a medical context is that it is an effective treatment for nausea . However, heavy, long-term marijuana use can lead to chronic nausea and vomiting. Known as Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, the gag-y stoner equivalent of heartburn confounds researchers. And, thanks to legalization, that confusion is no longer acceptable for healthcare providers. On Wednesday, emergency room physician Dr. Kennon Heard, who works at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, Colorado, told CBS that he has documented a steady rise in CHS in Colorado since marijuana became widely available . “It is certainly something that, before legalization, we almost never saw,” Heard said. “Now we are seeing it quite frequently.” Heard and a team of doctors documented this rise in a 2015 paper published in Academic Emergency Medicine . They studied 120,000 patient visits — ...

“She will look at me, smile and say ‘mama.’ And that is a gift that gives me a feeling I will never be able to describe.“ In the age of medical cannabis enlightenment, Colorado is becoming a place where miracles happen. The story of ‘Super Nova’ represents the hope, challenges and lives transformed of parents desperately seeking to heal their suffering children – in a state where nascent freedom battles the entrenched forces of oppression. The Free Thought Project obtained an exclusive interview with the mother of Nova, a beautiful 5-year-old girl born with a very rare condition called Schizencephaly. Nova’s mother, whom we will refer to as Barbara, told us about her journey from Texas to Colorado to save her daughter’s life, and even give her the gift of laughter. Barbara is documenting Nova’s incredible story on Facebook, where she has gained more than 61,000 adoring, supportive fans. As she describes on her website, sweetsupernova.weebly.com: “When Nova was four months old, we got t...

Medical researchers in Sweden have created an implantable device that allows for medication to be automatically dispensed into the body. The groundbreaking device delivers medicine with extreme precision, reducing the amount of drugs needed to just 1% of the dosage doctor’s would normally use. Nearly 1 in 6 people suffer from neurological disorders and close to 100 million people battle chronic pain on a daily basis. This implantable device acts as an ion pump: by allowing ions to move into it and medicine to move out, the pump creates an electric charge. Although this device would only work for electrically charged medicines, the majority of pain medications can be electrically charged. Amanda Jonsson, the team’s bio-electronical engineer and researcher, studied how this implantable device could restore gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in broken spinal areas in rats — areas where GABA was no longer being produced due to damaged nerv...

Chronic Fybromalgia is normally founded by Neurologist in patients that are near a Citizen age. Four years ago I was one of the youngest diagnosed experiencing chronic nerve damage (fatigued, diagestive issues, spasms, faint, panic attacks, or extreme black outs that caused me to end up in the ER). Being prescribed with Lyrica took a chemical toll that led to serious depresion, weight bloating, and suicidal anxiety. I was then placed on Anti Depressant (cymbolta) to out weigh the depression that Lyrica occured. However; I just could not mentally control my mind and by that in time without realizing it,  (i had lost respect through uncontrolable behavior and emotions). Not only did I lose friends, co-workers and family who couldn't support the behavior changes. I had also lost a great amount of hair from chemical changes; imbalances that had a bad impact in my career and personal life). After 8 months of expensive tretments at $400 a month, as a student and leasing agent, I just co...

If you have fibromyalgia (FM), you might want to make sure you get ample amounts of vitamin D. Why? A newly published study shows that people with fibromyalgia and low levels of vitamin D have significantly more balance problems and pain. Turkish researchers published a study titled, “The Relationship Between Balance And Vitamin 25(OH)D In Fibromyalgia Patients” in the journal Modern Rheumatology, which endeavored to investigate the relationship between vitamin 25(OH)D levels and pain, balance and daily activities in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. The study included people aged 35 to 65 years of age who had been diagnosed with FM (N=70) and a healthy control group (N=60) that was matched by age and gender. They used the fibromyalgia impact scale (FIQ), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and visual analog scale (VAS) to measure their findings. The participants were divided into two groups by vitamin D level being above or below 30 ng/ml. A statistically...

Science explained – How and why cannabis kills cancer:

Elyse Johnson with mum Casey, dad Jamie and brother Blake is starting to show improvement in mobility after starting on a cannabis mouth spray. Photo/Taupo & Turangi Weekender A Taupo toddler with an incurable brain stem tumour is beginning to show signs of increased mobility four weeks after starting to use a medical marijuana spray. Elyse Johnson has been diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), and the 3-year-old was earlier this year approved for Sativex, a mouth spray made with cannabis extract. Mother Casey Johnson said she believed Elyse was the youngest person in New Zealand to be approved for the drug, which is normally used to treat symptoms of multiple sclerosis. "She's getting her mobility back and that, slowly," Johnson said. Elyse cannot walk and had been unable to bend her legs. But four weeks on from starting the Sativex treatment, Elyse can start to bend her legs. Johnson said she began to notice changes for Elyse ...

Cardiologists warn that heart disease is one of the most dangerous and severe illnesses of our time. As medical experts explain, plaque buildup thickens and stiffens artery walls and that interrupts proper blood flow to the heart, which is the cause of this medical condition. Main factors that cause heart disease are stress, lack of physical activity and unhealthy nutrition. Doctors explain that adult people should be very careful and do everything to prevent occurrence of this severe disease. Below we are going to present you 10 foods which have the ability to clean the arteries and thus to maintain your cardiovascular health. Salmon Salmon is abundant with healthy fatty acids and that substantially will lower your blood cholesterol and in same time will prevent inflammation, which at most patients is cause of heart diseases. Orange juice Fresh orange juice is high in vitamin C and antioxidants which are great for protection of your blood vessels from damage. Moreover,...

Written By  Amy Marturana Like many autoimmune diseases, lupus affects more women than men. In fact, 90 percent of people diagnosed with the life-long condition are young women between the ages of 15 and 34, according to the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation. (S.L.E. stands for systemic lupus erythematosus, the full name of the disease.) As with its chronic cousins Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, and more, there’s no known cause. Experts suggest a mixture of genetics and environment, but it’s still a mystery as to why some develop lupus. It’s also very hard to diagnose because the effects are broad-ranging and often look like any number of other conditions. “Lupus can affect almost any part of the body. In a sense, that makes it quite unique to all human diseases,” Jill Buyon, M.D., director of the Lupus Center at NYU Langone Medical Center, tells SELF. Its symptoms also vary immensely from person to person. “The main message is that my lupus may be different fro...
