Help with Hemp is a compassionate, family-to-family, committed effort to produce the CBD oils needed to treat or cure cancer, epilepsy, auto-immune disorders, diabetes, neurological conditions, lime disease, autism, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, bi-polar disorder, chronic inflammation, and chronic pain. This medicine will be given freely to the families who need it most. We feel no man, woman or child should be left behind simply because they are unable to afford these powerful natural treatments. After the CBD oils are extracted, the remaining hemp fibers are used to make food, clothing and building materials that will also be used to help those in need. Read About Us |

Medical Cannabinoids
A properly functioning endogenous cannabinoid receptor system is necessary for good health and certain disease types can be the result of deficiencies within this system. Endocannabinoids naturally occur in humans & have similar molecular structure to herbal cannabinoids. They regulate many essential physiological functions. While CB1 & CB2 are primarily located in the nervous & immune system respectively, they can be found in most cells. When these receptors are stimulated, it can have a positive affect on the overall health of the bodies systems. CB1 receptors reside mostly in the nervous system. Their stimulation is responsible for psychoactive & behavioral effects, among other functions. CB2 receptors reside primarily in the immune system and are involved in a number of biological functions.
Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system, researchers have been working on developing synthetic cannabinoids, hoping to find a compound that gives the benefits of cannabinoids without the psychoactive effects. This is still an ongoing project but most synthetic cannabinoids do not have the same effects as the cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Many researchers are concentrating on studying the endocannabinoids (the cannabinoids produced in the body), in order to understand why our bodies make these compounds and how they regulate the many different physiologic processes in the body. And many scientists are attempting to study the health effects of the 85 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant; however, this area of research is somewhat hindered due to the plant’s federal illegality as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. With state-sanctioned medical cannabis laws, we are now seeing more studies in this arena and hopefully will gain full understanding of what patients and which conditions may benefit from the use of cannabis. For now, many patients are using natural cannabis for relief of their conditions for which traditional treatments and medications have not worked or have been too toxic.
There is quite a bit of misunderstanding about CBD's place in cannabis therapeutics. Heightened media coverage and state legislators responding to demand with CBD-only laws have given rise to a few pervasive myths, including one that equates the sole medical value of cannabis with CBD. With that said, there are certain types of patients who can benefit greatly from a CBD treatment by itself or as an adjunct to their medical routine. CBD oils can deliver many of the necessary cannabinoids without having THC involved at all.
CBD is particularly well suited as an anti-spasmodic and anti-anxiety remedy. It can also work in fighting pain and inflammation, though we find THC more consistently effective in this regard. Interestingly, THC and CBD utilize complementary and different pathways to fight inflammation. In general, CBD would be recommended for patients who cannot tolerate too much THC and respond sufficiently to CBD for their medical condition.
THC & CBD Synergy in Cancer Treatment:
Many inquiries come from cancer patients who think that CBD is the active cancer-fighting component in cannabis, which is another myth. THC has been the go-to compound for helping cancer patients for many years. However, more recent research is showing that THC doesn’t act alone. CBD, while having anti-cancer properties in its own right and working on different pathways than THC, boosts THC’s effectiveness by mitigating its undesirable effects, thus allowing for higher doses of THC to be administered for greater efficacy and safety. Some patients have experienced a full remission from cancer using high doses of THC/CDB oils for a period of time.
