Enhancing the Endocannabinoid System from the Thought Up
from The Holistic Psychiatrist · host Alice W. Lee, MD, ABIHM, ABoIM
Building well-being from the thought up may be a novel idea, but as a holistic clinician, I've found the approach very versatile and helpful--not just in terms of psychotherapeutic benefits but as a way to support the physical healing process.This podcast provides a tool to help those whose endocannabinoid system (ECS) had been undermined by repeated exposure to marijuana or CBD/THC compounds. None of these products provide bioidentical cannabinoids and may undermine the body's production of innate endocannabinoids and initiate the immune system's hypersensitivity (inflammatory reaction) to exogenous cannabinoids and the ECS.If the ECS is damaged, people may experience paranoia, delusions, and insomnia. If the person then stops using marijuana or CBD/THC abruptly, withdrawals may also lead to paranoia, delusions, and insomnia as well.This situation often ends with a prescription for an antipsychotic medication to resolve marijuana-induced psychosis.To assist those who become psychotic from exposure to marijuana, I've had success using energy medicine techniques, which use thoughts to connect to an idealized source of energy and direct them through intentions and words to facilitate specific healing processes. As the ECS recovers, the antipsychotic medication can be gradually and safely lowered (with nutritional supplement support).This recording directs your thoughts and intentions for the specific purpose of healing the ECS. I am using it to help my patients in my practice to lower their antipsychotic medications that were a necessary treatment for marijuana-induced/withdrawal psychosis. I hope you'll find it helpful or share it with someone you hope might benefit from it.Register for FullScript online dispensary granting you access to professional supplements here.
