Marijuana May Help Multiple Sclerosis Patients?

[green1706]

Researchers note that doses of cannabis (marijuana) have been shown to reduce the muscle spasms experienced by many people who have multiple sclerosis. The use of medical marijuana continues to be a struggle in the United States. Although it has been shown to be very effective in treating various diseases and illnesses, including chronic pain, nausea, glaucoma, seizure disorders, PTSD, cancer, diabetes, and others, many people risk arrest when they use marijuana for medicinal purposes. In October 2009, President Obama stated that his administration will not seek to arrest medical marijuana users and suppliers if they conform to state laws.
Although research indicates that cannabinoids offer benefits for multiple sclerosis patients because they can reduce inflammation and they have quelled spasms in animal studies, some officials, including regulators and researchers, have been concerned about the intoxicating side effects of THC. The authors of the recent paper, however, note that the combination of THC and CBD can limit psychotropic effects. They also note that the multiple sclerosis patients in the studies they evaluated generally well tolerated the side effects of the combined marijuana extracts.

Obviously a cut and paste. This news is so old it has a long beard.
A spammer attempting to appear kosher.

Mmm. Those who try to appear Kosher should remember that its a way to get your throat cut.

The spam link was for Berkel Bike, a UK firm. The spammer's IP address was Romanian. I put that here, because anyone thinking of buying their wares should realise that they advertise through spam, and avoid them. They are advertising dishonestly, and far from being green, are subsidising a criminal industry.

Having vented my spleen, I decided to contact the company and suggested they look at this thread.

I received this reply:

Thanks for your information. It seems that we have given the company that is providing SEO services to much freedom. They told me they would also post on forums, but I thought that would be information about our bikes. Not some old news about marijuana and MS.

We are a Dutch company and new in the UK the SEO company is UK based but I guess they hire people from Romania to work for them.

I will call them and tell them they have to change otherwise I will quite my contract with them. They have told me they only use Google approved legal methods.

Thanks for your tip and sorry for the trouble.

Regards,

I thought I'd better give the other side of the story.

If we get any more Berkel Bike spam, I'll let you know!

Well done. Companies taken in by people who promise to publicise their site.
