Nanoemulsified Colorado Hemp OilGRD Health Clinic brings you Quicksilver Scientific a standardized, highly bioavailable form of cannabidiol (CBD, which is readily available at goldenleafshop.com), the non-psychogenic yet highly physiologically active compound derived from the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa.
Cannabinoids, the family of compounds found in C. sativa, have been shown to have a broad influence on the body, impacting expression of more than 1000 genes. Among these genes, they have been shown to upregulate expression of cellular antioxidant defenses through pathways including Nrf2, a primary regulator of cellular antioxidant production, and down-regulate that of many inflammatory signaling molecules.1
Cannabinoid receptors, namely CB1 and CB2, exist widely in the body, being highly expressed in the hippocampus and central nervous system (CNS), the immune system, and peripheral nervous system.2 Cannabinoid receptors are strongly stimulated by the endogenous compounds 2-arachidonoylglycerol and anandamide, the later whose name is taken from the Sanskrit word ananda, meaning joy or bliss.3 The immune system and nervous system produce endogenous cannabinoids which activate the CB1 and CB2 receptors.4 When taken orally, cannabinoids have an effect of increasing levels of the endogenous endocannabinoids and also bind these receptors.
Cannabinoids may act as neuroprotective antioxidants, with studies demonstrating an effect superior to alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and ascorbate (vitamin C) in preventing glutamate toxicity.* 5 Cannabinoids support a balanced mood and neurotransmitter balance, as well as modulate CNS excitability and the immune system response.* 4,6,7 They also support musculoskeletal system function and joint health.* 8,9
Nanoemulsified Colorado Hemp Oil brings you a board spectrum of non-psychoactive cannabinoids, offering wide array of support for normal function and physiology. The nanoemulsified format improves bioavailability with higher and faster absorption rates than other CBD supplements, achieving plasma levels more than 5 times that of other oral liquids. The nanoemulsified particles enable delivery of biologically active substances directly to circulation as well as improved cellular delivery.
Quicksilver’s Delivery Systems™ brings the power of intravenous therapy into convenient oral delivery.* .
* Our Quicksilver Delivery Systems™ improve upon liposomal and emulsification technology with smaller, more stable particles made from the highest-grade ingredients available. In addition to exceptional absorption rates, these very small liposomal and nanoemulsified particles enhance lymphatic circulation of nutrients and intracellular delivery.10,11 The phospholipids, inherent in the liposomal and nanoemulsified formats, nourish cell membranes, promoting proper function for the absorption of nutrients and the excretion of cellular waste products and toxins.*

1) Q: Is our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil USDA certified organic?
A: No. To be clear, organic certification programs for hemp oil do not exist within the USDA. Our hemp extract undergoes rigorous testing for microbes, metals, pesticides, herbicidal residues and residual solvents once received in our laboratory. Potency, metals, and microbes are again measured in our final product, Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil.
2) Q: Is our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil THC free?
A: No. Our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil is well below the federal THC limit of .3% THC, generally measuring < 0.01% THC. We analyze levels of all Cannabinoids in the hemp extract and Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil.
3) Q: What sets Quicksilver Scientific’s Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil apart from all other hemp oils on the market?
A: Increased absorption and bioavailability. In a study comparing a 5mg dose of Quicksilver Scientific’s Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil to a 10mg dose of pharmaceutical synthetic cannabidiol (CBD), the Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil showed a 5.5-fold increased bioavailability over the leading pharmaceutical.
4) Q: Where do we source our hemp extract?
A: We source our hemp extracts from the state of Colorado. These hemp sources specifically cultivated for consumer use and comply with federal regulation for distribution in the US and abroad.
5) Q: With the December 14th 2016 ruling by the DEA, can we sell our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil in every state?
A: We believe so. In a statement to the International Business Times, Robert Hoban, a Colorado cannabis attorney and adjunct professor of law at the University of Denver said, “This action is beyond the DEA’s authority. The DEA can only carry out the law, they cannot create it. Here, they’re purporting to create an entirely new category called ‘marijuana extracts,’ and by doing so wrest control over all cannabinoids. They want to call all cannabinoids illegal. But they don’t have the authority to do that.”
After consulting their legal advisory team, the Hemp Industry Association has also chimed in, stating, “There is general agreement that yesterday’s ruling did not change the status of CBD.” The HIA noted the following important facts:
Sec. 7606 of the Agricultural Farm Act 2014 hemp is defined as distinct from marijuana and does not treat it as a controlled substance.
HIA strongly disagrees with the DEA position and is ready to take action to defend should the DEA take any action to block the production, processing or sale of hemp under Sec. 7606
The Final Rule published on December 14th was not a scheduling action but rather an administrative action related to record keeping for identification of substances on registration forms.
Considering this, we see no imminent danger to your ability to market and sell Quicksilver Scientific’s Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil throughout the 50 United States. We are working with the top law firm consultants in the hemp industry and we will continue passing on all relevant information to keep you abreast on the DEA claims.
6) Q: Is our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil an isolate or broad spectrum?
A: Our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil is broad spectrum, utilizing the multiple health benefits from the variety of cannabinoids found in whole plant extracts.
7) Q: What is the concentration of our Phytocannabinoid diols in the Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil?
A: In a single serving of 2ml (4 pumps) from the bottle of Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil there is 12 mg of Phytocannabinoid diols.
8) Q: What are Phytocannabinoid diols?
A: Phytocannabinoid diols are chemical compounds containing two hydroxy groups originating from the Cannabis plant. Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA) and Cannabidivarin (CBDV) are the most abundant diols in our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil, with CBD representing ~90% of the Phytocannabinoid diols.
9) Q: What refinement process is used to create the hemp extract from the hemp plant?
A: Super critical (high pressure) CO2 extraction process. There are no chemicals used in this process.
10) Q: What is the purpose of Phosphatidylcholine?
A: Phosphatidylcholine, PC, is the emulsifier or encapsulating agent used to stabilize and enhance absorption of the small oil droplets. PC is a highly beneficial nutrient that is source of choline for cell membranes, aiding in liver and brain function.
11) Q: Is the hemp extract and Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil tested for microbes and metal impurities?
A: Yes, all the incoming hemp extract is tested for microbes, metals, pesticides, herbicidal residues and residual solvents. Metals, microbes, and potency testing is then repeated on the final product, Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil.
12) Q: Will I fail a drug screening from taking Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil?
A: Most work-place drug screens and tests target delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and do not detect the presence of Cannabidiols or other legal natural hemp based constituents. However, studies have shown that eating hemp foods and oils can cause confirmed positive results when screening urine and blood specimens. Accordingly, if you are subject to any form of drug testing or screening, we recommend (as does the United States Armed Services) that you DO-NOT ingest this product. Prior to consuming these products consult with your healthcare practitioner, drug screening/testing company or employer.
13) Q: Do we use PEG (polyethylene glycol) in our formulations?
A: We use tocofersolan (TPGS, tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate-1000) in our formulation for stabilizing the lipid membranes. Tocofersolan is a synthetic water-soluble version of vitamin E that is an amphiphile – meaning it has both water soluble and fat-soluble sections, making it useful as an emulsifier. To be clear, polyethylene glycol it is NOT ethylene glycol, as in antifreeze, and is NOT a plastic.
Tocofersolan has a record of safety based on decades of use in animals and humans and on reported toxicology studies. Studies in humans included dosing of children with digestive malabsorption (i.e. cholestasis) at 40-50 times higher concentrations than that in our Nanoemulsified Hemp Oil for over two years with no adverse events. To achieve this safety level, the absolute highest grades of ingredients were needed in order to avoid the contaminants that make common polysorbates questionable for extended dosing. These high grades of raw materials make tocofersolan ~10X the cost of polysorbates and other commonly used emulsifiers. It is so clean, that it was give the safest rating for an additive by Environmental Working Group. It is safe for transportation, storage and handling. Tocofersolan has a self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status when used as an oral dietary supplement of vitamin E.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Begin by running some hot water over the bottle to gently warm the oil, or use an oil warmer from Wallgreens.
Pour a tablespoon of warm oil onto your scalp and vigorously work in the oil.
Using your fingertips, vigorously massage your head and scalp with small circular strokes, as if you are shampooing. (or you can skip if you don’t want to wash your hair)
Move to your face and ears, massaging more gently.
Using an open hand to create friction, massage both the front and back of the neck.
Vigorously massage your arms, using a circular motion at the shoulders and elbows, and back-and-forth motions on the upper arms and forearms.
When massaging your chest and stomach, use a gentle circular motion and a straight up-and-down motion over the breastbone.
After applying a bit of oil to both hands, gently reach around to the back and spine and massage them as well as you can without straining.
Vigorously massage your legs as you did your arms, using circular motions at the ankles and knees, back-and-forth motions on the long parts.
After massaging your legs, spend extra time on your feet.
Using the open part of your hand, massage vigorously back and forth over the soles of the feet.
Keeping a thin, almost imperceptible film of oil on the body is considered very beneficial for toning the skin and warming the muscles throughout the day

Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its growth in popularity in the United States has been around 25 to 50 percent a year throughout the last decade.
This success is fueled by several factors:
Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent
Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects.
Homeopathy is natural. Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients.
Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs)
Homeopathic remedies are not addictive – once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.
Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur.
An Ancient Technique for Relief of Neck Pain
Why I Developed the Neckbloc
I’m Dr. Guruchander S. Khalsa. As a practicing chiropractor since 1982, I’ve treated hundreds of patients with hyperflexion/hypertension neck injuries, or whiplash-traumas which often result in loss of cervical curvature. If you wish to get in touch with motorcycle accident lawyer myrtle beach sc at Beach Injury Lawyers, you can click here and get information.
While I’ve normally been able to provide these patients with the ongoing adjustments that alleviate their pain over time, I’ve rarely, if ever seen a return of cervical curve. As you know, this condition can result in a continuing degenerative process. Short of trying to minimize these patients’ pain for the rest of their lives, what was I to do? The solution didn’t come from a present-day technique, but rather one that was thousands of years old.
Ancient Technique Produces Modern-Day Healing
Some time ago, one of my patients showed me a crude device that was a copy of an ancient Egyptian artifact. I thought the device had potential and decided to experiment with developing updated prototypes. The result was the NeckBloc.
My next goal was to test the product on some of my most chronic sufferers. Working with a number of patients over a six-month period, I instructed them to lie face-up on the NeckBloc, three times per day, for five minute intervals. Having experimented with this regimen myself, I advised them to expect some minor discomfort but, I believed the end results would be well worth the effort. I told them that if they experienced any numbness, tingling, headaches or pain, they were to immediately stop using the product and consult with me.
Beyond the expected minor discomfort, none of my patients experienced any adverse symptoms. In fact, in a short time, some of patient’s pain decreased markedly and for some there was a total absence of pain.
Upon comparing before and after X-rays over the six month test period, I couldn’t have been more excited. The combination of regular chiropractic adjustments and daily use of the NeckBloc produced one or more of the following results in patients who adhered to the program:Since my patients have achieved these highly positive results, I predict similar success for you, if you are willing to follow the same regular program of daily NeckBloc use.
Some discomfort while using this product is normal because the ligament tissue needs to stretch. If the discomfort becomes severe, however, this may indicate more serious problems. Discontinue use of NeckBloc until you have consulted with your Physician.
This product is helping to correct a major problem in your neck, be patient and keep up with the process.
Children under 18 years, adults over 70 years of age or anyone who has suffered severe neck injuries need to use this product under the supervision of their Physician.

On Consciously Becoming a Vegetarian
A vegetarian diet is strongly recommended for yoga practitioners, due to the effect of meat on the body, emotions, and psyche, as well as ethical considerations. As students of yoga, although we are given reasons why becoming a vegetarian is a good idea, we are not necessarily taught how to become a vegetarian in a balanced way, while considering yogic ethical principles and our own individual constitution. There is also often little consideration given to the cultural traditions each individual yogi brings to this lifestyle. In most cultures, food is an important aspect of identity, harmony, tradition, family bonding, and happiness. As yogis, we need to be aware and be honest with ourselves as to how giving up certain foods might affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Also, there are skills needed in becoming a healthy vegetarian. For some, transitioning to vegetarianism may require learning a whole new way of cooking—for ourselves and our families.
One question every yogi asks at some point is: “should I become a vegetarian?” Another question may be: “should I become a vegetarian all at once, or should it be a more gradual process?”
Answering these questions may involve a process of study and personal reflection.
In Indian culture, ancient scriptures do not prohibit meat, but prescribe which meats are most appropriate for which people (Ballentine, 1978). Ayurveda looks at the effects of all foods, including meat. It may be useful to consider one’s ayurvedic constitution when thinking about a vegetarian diet. In his book, Ayurvedic Healing, Dr. David Frawley includes dietary guidelines for balancing the doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Although he promotes a vegetarian diet as part of a yogic lifestyle, Dr. Frawley states “Vata types can most honestly claim to need meat int their diet,” whereas Pitta and Kapha types “do not need to eat meat.” According to Frawley, with all doshas, if meat is eaten, it is recommended fish, chicken, turkey–rather than red meat–be taken. Perhaps, then, one way to transition to a vegetarian diet gradually and consciously would be to first give up red meat, and slowly eliminate other meats if and when one felt ready and able to so. This would be done mindfully, with an awareness of one’s individual constitutional type.
As yogis, we follow the Yamas and Niyamas as the basis for our choices in life. Ahimsa (nonviolence) is one of the five Yamas (principle of social behavior). Nonviolence (towards animals) is often a reason given for being a vegetarian. In addition to non-harming of animals, we might also want to consider ahimsa with respect to ourselves or our loved ones. For example, a predominantly Vata type constitution might have a tendency to become extremely ungrounded on a vegetarian diet if they do not know how to use other means to pacify high Vata. Another example is someone who gives up all meat, but eats too many breads and sweets for quick energy because they don’t have the time or the skills to cook nutritious vegetarian meals. Another example is when a person’s dietary restrictions inflict harm on their relationships because their dietary changes are not undertaken in a conscious, considerate way.
Another important Yama is Satya (truthfulness). It is important to be honest with oneself. This means to practice yoga with genuineness and authenticity, rather than to blindly do what we are told. Yoga teaches us true knowledge is what is experienced first-hand. Yogic disciplines allow for different paths. An individual would be hard pressed to live in the world while practicing every aspect of this vast discipline. As yogis, we need to be true to ourselves and practice yoga in a way that works for us in our life.
An important Niyama (principle of personal behavior) is svadhyaya (self-study). This Niyama means continually being aware of the subtle changes taking place within our own psyche. This is what lets us know what changes we need to consider making. We must approach ourselves gently but firmly. As yogis, we are on a path to become more conscious and aware, to become more aligned with our best selves. If we become aware of a behavior which is not in line with what we know to be true, we must strive to make changes. This includes pay attention to our diet. In doing so, however, let us not forget, the Niyama, santosha (contentment). Eating is one of the universal pleasures of life. No matter what diet we choose to follow or are striving to follow, let us not forget to enjoy the act of sharing a delicious meal with our communities and families.
