CBD May Help Avert Lung Destruction in COVID-19 plus BS Science Alert: Plant-based Meats Improve Some Cardiovascular Risk Factors

SHR # 2569 :: CBD May Help Avert Lung Destruction in COVID-19 plus BS Science Alert: Plant-based Meats Improve Some Cardiovascular Risk Factors - Dr. Babak Baban and Dr. Jack Yu - Cannabidiol, or CBD, may help reduce the cytokine storm and excessive lung inflammation that is killing many patients with COVID-19, researchers say. While more work, including clinical trials to determine optimal dosage and timing, is needed before CBD becomes part of the treatment for COVID-19, researchers at the Dental College of Georgia and Medical College of Georgia have early evidence it could help patients showing signs of respiratory distress avoid extreme interventions like mechanical ventilation as well as death from acute respiratory distress syndrome. PLUS When a plant-based meat alternative company pays for the science, is it any wonder that the outcome is in their favor?
