Today is a astounding day! Why? Because there was A groundbreaking new study published this week all over there this morning, it’s related to my work and my life, and not only me. If you read that, believe you will have same feeling like me. If not, here, you will find it.
Two years undergo, COVID-19 is not stranger anymore. Even now we have vaccine, we are still looking forward the standard treatment, and now, we have a new hope. Now, the new study reported that hemp compounds could blunt the virus that causes COVID-19.
Hemp compounds may prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from entering human cells, according to Oregon State University researchers.
The researches found that a pair of cannabinoid acids bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, blocking a critical step in the process the virus uses to infect people. The spike protein is the same drug target used in COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapy. The spike protein molecule is critical to the process the disease follows, meaning disrupting it can thwart infection or disease progression, according to the researchers.
According to the research, the live virus with hemp compounds as well as a control and, after 24 hours, injected them into human epithelial cells; they found that cells that had been treated with CBDA and CBGA lacked SARS-COV-2 RNA. They performed the same procedure on live alpha and beta variants, first detected in the UK and South Africa, respectively, and found that the compounds had the same effect in both cases. They express optimism that these compounds can be effective against other variants, too.
Those two hemp compounds are not controlled substances like THC, they have a good safety profile in humans and most important that it’s not psychoactive substance dependence.
According to the study, these compounds can be taken orally and have a long history of safe use in humans, they have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2.
Human body is complex, many people will become drug-resistant. This is normal with widespread use of cannabinoid. But the combination of vaccination and CBDA/CBGA treatment may create more chances and challenging .
