CBD lowers the expression of ACE2 receptors which is the landing site for the virus... Less landing sites, less replication, less viral load. THC is immunosuppressant and should only be incorporated at the advent of a cytokine storm to keep the immune system from attacking vital systems. CBG binds to the virus' "arms" and keeps them from properly binding to the ACE2 receptors inhibiting attachment and therefore invasion.

🌟 How to reduce antibiotic course length? 🌟 The government has recently announced a new 5-year national action plan on antimicrobial resistance to protect people from the risk of drug-resistant infections. The plan talks about the growing evidence which suggests shorter treatment durations than currently recommended may often be appropriate. Review the latest case study and learn how one ICB had an immediate 7.4% drop in antibiotic course length using an on-screen prompt at the point of prescribing — with a further 2% drop every month thereafter. At Optum we have used clinical rules and guidelines, to turn evidence into action through our unique Quantity Limit switches in ScriptSwitch® Prescribing - helping to sustain the effectiveness of essential antibiotic medications. If you would like a copy of the case study, please don't hesitate to contact me direct. #optumuk #AMR #healthcare
