“Bivalent,
Heteronomy and Natural Killer Cells?” opened Bryan W. Brickner; “no, not the
summer’s hottest metal bands ~ homeostatic CS science is the answer.”
In Homeostatic Cannabinoid Science ~ Publius’ July Roundup, new on the Bryan William Brickner
Blog, ten 2014 science articles are noted on homeostasis and the cannabinoid
system (CS). The line-up links to PubMed articles highlighting CS modulation of
our health and wellness: three directly on homeostasis, two each on the central
nervous, circulatory, and digestive systems, and one on the respiratory system
and its natural cancer killer cells.
“Summer
cannabinoid science is hot,” noted Brickner; “July CS news includes updates on
Alzheimer’s, obesity, liver cirrhosis, anti-inflammation and even resistance
(strength) training.”
“There’s
also been a gain in understanding,” offered Brickner, publisher of The Cannabis
Papers: A citizen’s guide to cannabinoids (2011), “as lots of old questions have
been answered; now the research is focused on CS dynamics ~ the How it (our CS)
works.”
“For
example, bivalency and heteronomy,” Brickner explained, “note the ability of
the CS to switch what a cannabinoid does; to put it in simple terms, this news
implies the CS can change a cannabinoid ~ that the CS can make what it needs.”
“The
lung cancer news is profound,” Brickner continued, “with evidence (proof they say) of the novel antitumor
mechanism of cannabinoids; the science shows how cannabinoids increase
the effectiveness of our immune system’s natural killer cells.”
“Great
month for cannabinoid science,” Brickner closed, “and for national cannabis
politics too: things do seem to be changing.”
Brickner has a 1997 political
science doctorate from Purdue University and is the author of several political
theory books, to include The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999) and
The Book of the Is: A book on bridges (2013). The Bryan William Brickner Blog is an ongoing resource for the political science of constitutions and the
biological science of receptors.

Cannabis Papers is available at online retailers and for free by download.
