PuraMed BioScience Explores the Development of Hemp and THC-Free Cannabis Formulations to Expand Its Product Line

posted in: US Hemp Co | 0

Schofield, WI (PRWEB) March 24, 2014

PuraMed BioScience®, Inc., (OTCBB:PMBS), a researcher, developer, and marketer of over-the-counter (OTC) medicinal and healthcare products, confirmed today that it is seriously exploring the development of cannabinoid and hemp-based formulations to expand its natural and homeopathic product line.

PuraMed BioScience initially intends to develop and manufacture hemp and THC-free formulations that create medicinal compounds that don’t produce the “high” associated with cannabis containing THC. Scientific research has shown that cannabinoids can be formulated to effectively treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, pain, neurodegenerative disorders, epilepsy, arthritis and combat the effects of cancer chemotherapy.

“Integrating cannabinoid-based medications into our product line makes sense with what we are already doing,” said Russell Mitchell, CEO of PuraMed BioScience. “Cannabis has been used medicinally for centuries. It has only been in the last 100 years that its schedule 1 drug status and the abuse of this product for non-medicinal purposes has detracted from its medicinal benefits. Medical journal publication sites list many medical articles that report cannabinoids provide a viable treatment to neurologic problems, inflammatory diseases, and pain.

“Due to recent changes in the legality and availability of cannabinoids, we believe the future looks extremely bright for the development of highly effective and safe treatments incorporating these hemp derived compounds,” said Mitchell.

Scientific evidence continues to grow as to the effectiveness and safety of certain cannabinoids used to treat a number of disease states. In his article, ‘I am doubling down’ on medical marijuana, published on CNN Health, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, practicing neurosurgeon and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, confirms his previous article apologizing for dismissing the plant’s potential.

Dr. Gupta has seen first-hand the benefit of this substance in the lives of people as shown in his documentaries Weed and Weed2, which recently aired on CNN. During his documentaries, Dr. Gupta stated that, unlike some prescription pain relievers, no one has died from an overdose of cannabis.

Even the United States government holds patents on cannabis-based formulations.

PuraMed BioScience has been investigating this market for nearly two years and found that cannabinoids offer a structure and function that fits ideally with several of its existing technologies. “We have been following the studies that currently are being conducted in Israel,” said Mitchell.

The company has researched the potential efficacy of cannabinoid-based pain treatment for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic back pain and found that there was evidence of a high probability of success. PuraMed believes that a combination of cannabinoids with other natural compounds can provide superior results while avoiding the often severe side effects of many of the prescription treatments.

“The results of our preliminary research combined with the fact that the US cannabis market is expected to grow to over $ 10 billion by 2018, are strong reasons to aggressively develop a cannabis and hemp-based product line,” said Mitchell. “Development of these products will continue our mission of providing safe, effective products that use natural ingredients.

“We are particularly interested in the development of a formulation that will help veterans who are suffering the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),” said Mitchell. “An effective PTSD formulation in addition to our LipiGesic® M migraine product would allow us to provide veterans with two effective medications to relieve these debilitating conditions.”

According to reports, on March 14, 2014, Suzanne Sisley, a lead researcher at the University of Arizona received approval from the Public Health Service, a branch of the US Department of Health & Human Services to research medical marijuana’s effectiveness in the treatment of PTSD. This was the second of three approvals necessary to conduct the research. The research has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is awaiting approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

At this point in time, six states approve the use of medical cannabis for PTSD.

PuraMed BioScience intends to become a leader in the cannabinoid-based medicine market utilizing its proven ability to develop and produce highly effective plant based medicines. The company has historically used scientific and clinical studies to prove the efficacy and safety of its products. PMBS expects to lead the way in conducting the same level of validated science for any product that contains cannabinoids.

“We’ve produced a highly effective acute migraine medication using feverfew and ginger that has been clinically tested and found to provide efficacies that perform better than its prescription counterparts,” said Mitchell. “We have faced an uphill battle with the adoption of homeopathic drugs in the mainstream, but we see that changing as well.”

In the March 24, 2014 issue of Woman’s World, LipiGesic® M is featured in an article entitled, “No more migraine pain!” The combination of feverfew and ginger was a treatment for migraine was also mentioned in “Nature’s First Aid Kit” which appeared in the February 2014 issue of O The Oprah Magazine.

“Publication in these magazines proves that the public is beginning to embrace the idea of “natural and safe” medications made with homeopathic formulations,” said Mitchell. “As more of the public embraces natural medicinal products, we will continue to provide formulations that operate with the highest level of efficacy and safety, which will allow people to choose a natural alternative without compromising treatment outcomes.”

About LipiGesic M:

Results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial for LipiGesic®M show LipiGesic M is a highly effective treatment for acute migraine. The study was published in the July 2011 issue of the top-tier medical journal, Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain. In addition to LipiGesic M, the Company also has plans to launch LipiGesic® H, tension headache remedy, as well as LipiGesic® PM, a remedy for insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Industrial vortex tube

posted in: Industrial Hemp | 0

The vortex tube has been called with various names such as Ranque Vortex Tube, Hilsch Tube, Ranque-Hilsch Tube; based from two pioneering physicists who initiated the invention and development of the device. This simple yet multi-purpose mechanical device has also been referred to as Maxwell’s Demon, derived from James Clerk Maxwell, an eighteenth century Scottish physicist who theorized the possibility of creating a vortex force within a mechanical device.

When George H. Ranque discovered the device in early 1930’s he immediately decided to market the device, but failed. Ranque’s creation and further niche business on vortex tubes did not succeed. It was Rudolph Hilsch who made new developments on the device. In 1945, Hilsch recreated and marketed the tube, along with a scientific journal which was widely-read by the public and prospective clients. Throughout the years more and more improvements were applied to vortex tubes. It was tested on different channels such as water, steam, propane gas and natural gas. Moreover, vortex tubes were also proven to be effective device for separating gas compounds such as oxygen and nitrogen and carbon dioxide and helium.

A vortex tube is comprised of a nozzle, diaphragm, chamber, hot and cold tubes and a cone-shaped nozzle at the opening of the hot tube. The size of this apparatus varies depending in the application or operation where it will be used. The nozzle design of the tube determines the velocity, mass flow, and inlet losses. Chamber is a part of the nozzle where the pressurized gas will be injected tangentially. The diaphragm is situated beside the nozzle and at the edge of the cold tube.

If air is supplied to the mechanical device, the air enters through the nozzle and turns at 90 degrees angle and swirls past through the chamber and up to the cone-shape valve. A parcel of the gas escapes. This is the hot air stream. A parcel of the gas is blocked by the valve and heads back to the opposite direction with a lower pressure. The air stream escapes the opposite opening of the vortex tube, and becomes the cold stream.

The temperature of vortex tubes on both openings is changeable through a control valve attached to the hot air stream tube. The lowest temperature of the cold end is at -50 degrees Fahrenheit and the highest temperature at the hot end is up to 260 degrees Fahrenheit. A vortex tube created for commercial used can produce refrigeration of 6,000  BTU.

Steward Bags Owners Launch New Fundraising Initiative to Combat Global Plastic Bag Problem

posted in: Hemp Legislation | 0


(PRWEB) September 01, 2011

An average of 100,000 plastic bags are handed out every minute, totaling billions of plastic bags consumed worldwide each year. Most single use plastic bags are employed for 20 minutes then thrown in the trash. Reusable cotton produce bags, such as Steward Bags, can be washed, used for numerous years, and composted. Owners of Steward Bags are proud to make their reusable produce bags available to school and community “green fundraising”.

Since its introduction in the 1950s, the plastic bag has become a story of innovation gone wrong. The grocery and retail industries adopted the plastic bag due to its light-weight, high-load capacity and cheap price. Few anticipated that its popularity would create serious global environmental concerns.

Plastic bags dumped in the landfill can take up to 1000 years to breakdown. In the process they separate into small toxic particles that contaminate soil and water. In many countries plastic bags have become a primary source of litter. In South Africa for example, plastic litter is so omnipresent the plastic bag is referred to as the national flower (National Geographic News).

The world wide use of the plastic bags has led to an increase of plastic waste floating in the oceans. The “Garbage Patch ” or “Trash Vortex” floating in the North Pacific Ocean continues to grow since its discovery by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 1988. Current estimates of its size range from 700,000 square kilometers to more than 15,000,000 square kilometers (Wikipedia).

Plastic bags often strangle, choke or starve marine life. Floating bags move through the water, taking on a lifelike appearance. Swallowed plastic is not digested. It causes obstructions, stops food intake, and results in starvation. When marine animals die and their bodies decompose, any plastic they have ingested is released back into the water (National Geographic News).

People are becoming more aware of the environmental threats caused by plastic bag waste and are inspired to move towards effective solutions. Government organizations, environmental groups, scientists and new eco-businesses are taking steps to address this world wide problem.

Organized Government Initiatives

Plastic bags have been banned or restricted in more than 25% of the world. Countries such as Kenya, Uganda, China, India have passed legislation restricting the thickness of plastic bags manufactured. Some countries that have banned plastic bags all together are Belgium, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Tanzania, Ireland and Italy. Some bans have been initiated at municipals level in countries such as Canada and USA (National Geographic News).

Taxes or levies have also been introduced by the government in many countries such as Israel, Hong Kong, Germany and Canada to discourage the overuse of plastic bags. The levies collected are used to pay for recycling facilities and clean up of plastic bag litter.

Recycling/Reusing/ Biodegradable Plastics

Recent studies suggest that approximately 20% of plastic bags are reused for garbage and pet waste. After “reuse” they end up in the landfill. Bag recycling has also increased in the past decade. However, most municipal recycling facilities are not equipped to recycle plastic bags and the process takes a fair amount of energy (Wikipedia).

Biodegradable plastic such as bio-plastics and petroleum-based plastics have become more mainstream. Regrettably, they require a significant amount energy to produce and a specific environment for biodegradation. Carbon and methane are released into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases when oil based materials degrade. Starch based bio-plastics, may be almost carbon neutral, but they can have a damaging effect on soil, water usage and quality (Wikipedia).

Alternative Products

One of the simplest and most effective solutions introduced is the reusable grocery bag. Reusable bags are now widely available and used by grocery shoppers. Many of the original recycled plastic designs are difficult to wash and as a result can harbor growing bacteria. Washable reusable bags made out of natural biodegradable cloth fibers such as organic cotton, jute and hemp have recently been introduced.

Two teachers from Canada recognized the need for reusable bags to replace the flimsy plastic bags that hold loose fruits and vegetables. They created a washable bag made of organic cotton netting, certified by the Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). After 3 to 4 years of use, this reusable produce bag can be composted. Steward Bags, produce bags are now available through the school and community group green fundraising “Fundraising with No Footprint” program.

“Our goal is to get one million families world wide to use at least 5 reusable produce bags weekly, said co-owner Greg Bailey. This will eliminate 260 million plastic bags in one year alone. Imagine the potential reduction in plastic waste? The possibilities are infinite!.” “The more we become aware of our ability to do small daily “acts of green”, the more we understand that as a group we can have a larger collective impact on the critical environmental issues, adds Josée Lemieux-Bailey. ”

About Steward Bags:

Steward was founded in 2009 by Josée Lemieux-Bailey and Greg Bailey. They were awarded “Champions Combating Climate Change” by the Carbon Reduction Initiative in 2010 for their dedication and commitment in promoting sustainability and reducing green house gas emissions. They also won the Business Excellence Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2010 given by the local Chamber of Commerce. Steward Bags donates 5% of its annual profits to environmental projects and stewardship bursaries. To date approximately 35,000 Steward Bag reusable produce bags are in circulation. When used weekly, for one year, approximately 1.8 million plastic bags are kept out of the landfill. Steward Bags are available on line and at numerous stores across Canada including the Farm Boy Grocery Chain in Eastern Ontario.

How to grow phalaenopsis

posted in: How to Grow Cannabis | 0

Growing flower is something that is more specific to women than men and this can surely be confirmed by my mother, who has been trying for years to grow a lot of them. Well, if you are someone that loves phalaenopsis and you would like to know what to do in order to grow them, then I will tell you some of the secrets that stand behind this.

 

First of all, you should know that they are also called moth orchids as well and another interesting thing is that they are plants that are just growing from 1 stem. This is a plant that basically has around fifty species which are divided into 2 groups. The first group is made out of plants that have their flowers in a round shape and also feature a stem that is longer than what the others have. When it comes to the other, it doesn’t feature long, but short stems and the flowers they have are similar to wax.

 

If you would like to have such plants grown, you will have to know that light areas are the ones you will have the best luck of achieving this in. An important detail to remember is that they are not actually fans of the sunlight, so you will need to have them in an enclosure that boasts off artificial light. If you want to check on the plants and see if they are healthy, you will only need to take a look at their leaves and see if they have a darker nuance of green.

 

Be careful though with the temperature as well, as it can easily kill the flowers if you don’t take it too seriously. It is recommended that you will have these types of flowers grown in a temperature stacked between twenty and thirty five degrees Celsius. More to that, these are plants that can stand a lot of humidity, so it would be no problem to have them in such an environment.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that these are plants that actually don’t love drought that much and that is why you will need to ensure the fact that you have them supplied with water from time to time. You will have to water them at least 1 per week, as it is very much recommended to do so.

 

If you were re curious about phalaenopsis care, I hope that this article has cleared out some doubts for you.

US Dairy Alternative Beverages Market Examined in New Up-to-Date Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

posted in: Hemp Legislation | 0


London, UK (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

Today a large number of alternative food products carry the potential to enter the U.S. market at a later date on a commercial scale, either through domestic production or importation. The total U.S. retail sales of dairy alternative beverages are estimated to have reached $ 1.33 billion in 2011.

Consumers choose plant-based dairy alternative beverages for numerous reasons. Health issues including lactose intolerance, milk allergy, and the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) can be addressed through the consumption of dairy alternative beverages because these plant-based milks are free of animal proteins, in particular casein. Currently, the most commonly known and popular of the commercial plant milks is soymilk.

IRS Threatens to Shut Down Medical Cannabis

posted in: Hemp Legislation | 0


Oakland, CA (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

The IRS threatens to turn back the clock on medical cannabis. A national alliance of industry leaders, patients and elected officials are fighting back with a new project aimed at education and policy change. The 280E Reform effort plans to bring an end to the current IRS campaign to close medical cannabis dispensaries.

The IRS campaign of aggressive audits was launched approximately 2 years ago and uses section 280E of the IRS code to deny dispensaries the ability to deduct legitimate business expenses. Denied expenses include items such as rent, payroll, and all other necessary business expenses.

These denials result in astronomical back tax bills for the affected dispensaries that, if not changed, threaten to destroy the financial viability of every medical cannabis dispensary in the country—thereby ending safe and affordable access to cannabis for legally qualified patients.

Section 280E was passed by Congress in 1982, long before the passage of medical cannabis laws and was intended to apply to traffickers of dangerous drugs. Last year, Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) introduced the Small Business Tax Equity Act (H.R. 1985), which would create an exception to 280E for legal medical marijuana businesses, allowing them to take the full range of business expense deductions on their federal tax returns.

With fear looming that these audits will eventually shut down all legally operating medical cannabis businesses that have been operating according to their state laws—and some paying taxes for years—time is of the essence.

Campaign spokesperson Steve DeAngelo outlined the consequences: “Should the IRS campaign be successful, it will throw millions of patients back in to the hands of street dealers, eliminate tens of thousands of well-paying jobs, destroy hundreds of millions of dollars of tax revenue, enrich the criminal underground, and endanger the safety of communities in the 17 medical cannabis states.”

In response to these dangers, the 280E Reform project is announcing a nationwide campaign to bring awareness to legislators, provide legal and tax counsel for threatened organizations and prepare a grassroots educational effort to enlighten the public on the need to reform 280E.

“We are going to challenge this tax code to make sure that patients all over America have the ability to safely fill their health care needs with safe access from medical cannabis providers who are operating clearly with state laws,” said lead tax attorney Henry Wykowski. “This is a public safety issue and a healthcare right.”

An impressive team has been assembled to lead this effort, including Don Duncan, co-founder of American for Safe Access (ASA) and medical cannabis supporter who has been featured on 60 minutes, Dan Rather Reports and the LA Times; Henry Wykowski, legal tax counsel who successfully defended CHAMP in a similar IRS audit; Troy Dayton, co-founder of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), former Senior Development Officer of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) and current CEO of ArcView Group; Amir Daliri, entrepreneur and co-founder of California Cannabis Association and President of CannLobby, LLC, a medical cannabis focused political consultancy; and Steve DeAngelo, Executive Director of Harborside Health Center and activist, whose accomplishments include the passage of Proposition 59, the Washington D.C. medical cannabis initiative.

A graduate of the University of Maryland (summa cum laude), DeAngelo is a charter member of Americans for Safe Access and co-creator of Hemp Tour and Ecolution Inc., which produced hemp garments and accessories. He is the star of the new Discovery Channel series “Weed Wars.”

Workshops announced: The IRS is Coming! Are you Ready? IRS Tax Audit Seminars to aid medical cannabis businesses ‘How to Get Ready?’ will take place on February 25th from 1 to 6 pm at the Main Ballroom of Just Dance, which is located at 2500 Embarcadero in Oakland.

The same workshop will also be held on March 10th from 1 to 6 pm at the Courtyard Marriott, located at 925 Westlake Ave. N in Seattle. Enroll online: http://www.280Ereform.org or (206) 466-1766.

About 280E Reform

The 280E Reform campaign is professionally managed and is committed to open communication and transparency. A national conference line is set up every Friday and is broadly published. This time is used to share with any interested parties the progress of this group. The call is every Friday at 12 pm PST, and can be accessed by dialing 209.647.1000; PW: 154639.

London florist Todich Floral Design provides its top 5 wedding tips for 2014

posted in: How to Grow Cannabis | 0


London (PRWEB UK) 10 December 2013

This September, London florist Todich Floral Design wowed the crowds and press at the National Wedding Show with a stunning, original floral dress on an antique mannequin. Here, and in advance of the February 2014 show, founder Zlatko “Tod” Todic shares his top five wedding tips for 2014.

Following the success of their floral dress, the team at Todich Floral Design is excited and honoured to be creating a fabulous wedding flowers display for one of the main front entrances at the February show and will also have a stand right at the front of the hall.

Tod says, “We were overwhelmed by the response to our dress in September and can’t wait to get started on next year’s designs. We already have some great ideas in mind and are looking forward to chatting with and inspiring next year’s brides-to-be on our stand. In the meantime, here are our top tips for brides in 2014.”

1.    Don’t feel under pressure to come armed with a brief; Many brides worry they have to come to the florist armed with a whole bunch of ideas, but this really isn’t the case. Of course it’s absolutely fine if you do, but don’t feel bad if you have absolutely no clue about what kind, or style of flowers you want. A good florist should be able to advise you on this based on conversations about your personality, style and taste.

2.    It’s not all about ‘arrangements’; Wedding flowers are much more varied now than they used to be, and you don’t have to stick to traditional style table arrangements and pew ends in floral foam. Single stems of one or more flower types in multiple vases can look equally as impactful when artistically styled and can be great if you’re on a tight budget too. Plus things like candleabras, crates, milk bottles, watering cans, urns and a huge variety of different shaped vases are available too.

3.    Don’t be daunted by ‘DIY’; There is a huge trend towards brides taking a DIY approach now and making everything from seat backs to flowers, but this can seem like a huge and daunting task. However, you don’t need to do absolutely everything in order to incorporate this approach. For flowers, how about simply sourcing your own containers for tables, or accessories for your bouquet? This is an easy way to integrate DIY, plus add lovely personal touches without too much work.

4.    Like the ‘vintage’ theme but feel it’s overdone? Many brides have opted for the vintage style in recent years, but if you feel like birdcages, jam jars, teapots, hemp and string are a bit twee and overdone, how about taking inspiration from one of the biggest films of the last year, the Great Gatsby, instead. Set in an era of extravagant parties, decadent lifestyles and art deco design, this provides the basis for a theme that is more opulent and elegant than rustic and quaint.

5.    Don’t shy away from contrasts and brights; When people think of wedding flowers they mainly think of pastels, or a palette of similar tints, tones and hues, but bright, contrasting colours create a striking impact and are bang on trend. Yellows and oranges give a great contrast to purples and also equally offset bright blues. Reds and greens and hot or pale pinks and pistachio are a fantastic option too, as are violets and lavendars combined with limes, bright and darker greens. Or for those who are really brave the whole colour spectrum can be combined.

Todich Floral Design will be on stand G101 at The National Wedding Show from 21-23 February 2014. To organise an interview with founder and owner Zlatko “Tod” Todic, please contact Sarah Chambers on 020 7737 1166 or email marketing(at)todichfloraldesign(dot)co.uk.
