Using Brewer’s Yeast to produce Marijuana’s main ingredients : mind-altering THC and non-psychoactive CBD
You no longer need to grow a Marijuana plant to extract THC and CBD. You can get both by using Brewer’s Yeast and Sugar. You also get purer products. For example you can make CBD without the worry of it also containing THC.
This is revolutionary. It could eliminate huge Marijuana plant grow operations. It could also produce Cannabinoids which cannot be obtained from Marijuana plants. The consistency and purity of the produced product can be regulated to be uniform from batch to batch. This new process offers great potential in finding, via Medical Research Studies, new medical benefits of THC, CBD and other Cannabinoids.
Cristina Sánchez has been studying Cannabis for fifteen years at Complutense University in Madrid Spain. She has discovered that THC from Cannabis can kill Cancer cells.

Being able to produce Medical Cannabis products like THC in a pure form using Brewer’s Yeast opens up a lot of potential in the Medical field as you can maintain purity and quality in each batch produced. For example, there have been documented cases of patients who have seizures and are helped by CBD. You also eliminate the potential use of Pesticides in Plant Grow Operations.

Abstract
Egg activation refers to events required for transition of a gamete into an embryo, including establishment of the polyspermy block, completion of meiosis, entry into mitosis, selective recruitment and degradation of maternal mRNA, and pronuclear development. Here we show that zinc fluxes accompany human egg activation. We monitored calcium and zinc dynamics in individual human eggs using selective fluorophores following activation with calcium-ionomycin, ionomycin, or hPLCζ cRNA microinjection. These egg activation methods, as expected, induced rises in intracellular calcium levels and also triggered the coordinated release of zinc into the extracellular space in a prominent “zinc spark.” The ability of the gamete to mount a zinc spark response was meiotic-stage dependent. Moreover, chelation of intracellular zinc alone was sufficient to induce cell cycle resumption and transition of a meiotic cell into a mitotic one. Together, these results demonstrate critical functions for zinc dynamics and establish the zinc spark as an extracellular marker of early human development.

Scanning ultrasound removes amyloid-β and restores memory in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
I used to post about Medical Research in the past. For example, our prior post about research done at Harvard regarding the association between Heart Disease and microbial Human Gut Bacteria had researchers from around the globe visiting this site. Hey life is not just about great looking Exotic Cars, great looking Women and great sounding Music. You should add Medical Research to “round out” that mix.
This post is about research being conducted in Australia, which shows great promise in the treatment of Alzheimers. Apparently some memory loss could be reversed, in mice so far, by using their protocol and Scanning UltraSound.
The study was conducted by : Gerhard Leinenga and Jürgen Götz. Corresponding author. E-mail: j.goetz@uq.edu.au
Their study was published in the peer reviewed journal: Science Translational Medicine 11 Mar 2015: Vol. 7, Issue 278

Scanning ultrasound removes amyloid-β and restores memory in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We present a nonpharmacological approach for removing Aβ and restoring memory function in a mouse model of AD in which Aβ is deposited in the brain. We used repeated scanning ultrasound (SUS) treatments of the mouse brain to remove Aβ, without the need for any additional therapeutic agent such as anti-Aβ antibody. Spinning disk confocal microscopy and high-resolution three-dimensional reconstruction revealed extensive internalization of Aβ into the lysosomes of activated microglia in mouse brains subjected to SUS, with no concomitant increase observed in the number of microglia. Plaque burden was reduced in SUS-treated AD mice compared to sham-treated animals, and cleared plaques were observed in 75% of SUS-treated mice. Treated AD mice also displayed improved performance on three memory tasks: the Y-maze, the novel object recognition test, and the active place avoidance task. Our findings suggest that repeated SUS is useful for removing Aβ in the mouse brain without causing overt damage, and should be explored further as a noninvasive method with therapeutic potential in AD.
