No strict, product-specific studies are yet available for MED MARIJUANA™ products. To present background information on the health benefits of our Cannabis Sativa veterinary supplements, we are pleased to make available to the public a sampling of the reference material compiled by the company on the health benefits for pets of low-THC Cannabis Sativa Oil and the component make-up of the oils.     Med-Marijuana™ Mammalian Products Division Research Study Excerpt The Influence of Dietary Omega-6: Omega-3 Ratio on Lameness in Dogs with Osteoarthrosis of the Elbow Joint Herman A.W. Hazewinkel, DMV, PhD, DECVS Head, Section of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals Utrecht University, The Netherlands Lars F.H. Theyse, DMV, DRNVA; Walter E. van der Brom, PhD; Pim A. Th. Wolvekamp, DMV, PhD, DECVDP; Gregory A. Reinhart, PhD; Richard C. Nap, DVM, PhD. In most dog breeds the major contributing factor leading to Osteoarthritis is synovitus, an inflammation of the cells of the joint. Even when the lameness is surgically addressed the underlying problem of cell inflammation will continue joint deterioration. In order to systemically address the inflammatory process, diet deficiencies of the EFA category must be corrected. EPA fatty acids which originate from dietary Omega-6 fatty acids, e.g. linoleic acid and omega-3 e.g. linolenic acid cannot be converted in the canine system and must be supplemented. An excellent source of the EFA’s is Cannabis Sativa Oil as found in Med-Marijuana™ Medi-Paws formulation. Med-Marijuana™ Mammalian Products Division Research Study Excerpt The Role of Fat in the Formulation of Performance Rations: Focus on Fat Sources Arleigh J. Reynolds, DMV, PhD, DACVN Assistant Professor of Clinical Nutrition, College of Veterinary Medicine Cornell University Gregory A. Rheinhart, PhD Due to their influence on inflammatory processes (Arthritis), dietary supplementation with Omega cluster fatty acids – such as found in Medi-PawsTM Cannabis Sativa Extract – has generated considerable interest in the medical and scientific communities regarding veterinary health. Enhanced Omega Cluster fatty Acid intake has been associated with a reduction in the incidence and severity of coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, as well as immune mediated joint, renal, gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin disease. In addition to their role in disease prevention and treatment, this class of fatty acids has also been implicated as an aid to athletic performance. An excellent source of the EFA’s is Cannabis Sativa Oil as found in the Med-Marijuana™ formulation. Med-Marijuana™ Mammalian Products Division Research Study Excerpt Healing Cancer with Omega Oils Jade Beutler, R.R.T, R.C.P. A groundswell of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to recommend to their clients that they supplement their animals diet with a daily dose of Omega oils, poured right over the food. The vets are finding remarkable results in clearing up skin conditions, relieving arthritic and inflammatory pain, as well as improved over all pet health. Mr. Paul Stitt, while addressing a scientific conference in North Dakota reported that the Omega’s increased bone strength as well as improved the silkiness and sheen of animals fur. When the diets of horses were fortified with Omega’s, within three weeks their coats developed a beautiful sheen, and dandruff was greatly diminished. Within 9 months cracked hooves were completely healed. When a pregnant mare was fed the Omega’s, her offspring were larger, and grew faster than when previous to being fed the supplement. Further research indicates that horses fed Omega supplementation and injected with the deadly organism Escherichia coli were better protected than those not supplemented, suggesting enhanced immunity in these animals. Select Alaskan sled dog mushers are fortifying their dogs diets with Omega oils as they feel it serves as a source of valuable energy, keeps less desirable saturated fats mobile in the blood stream, increases oxygen uptake to the cell, decreases recovery time from strenuous exercise, and prevents and heals worn and chaffed paws. Numerous studies conducted on animals and humans show that the Omega cluster has powerful anti-tumor properties and may reduce tumor size by 50%. An excellent source of the EFA’s is Cannabis Sativa Oil as found in the Med-Marijuana™ formulation.
