Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
Progressive impairment of cognitive functions
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive destruction of neurons, leading to memory problems, impaired cognitive abilities and loss of independence.
Early symptoms include frequent forgetfulness, difficulty finding words, and mood swings. Over time, these symptoms intensify, complicating the daily lives of patients and their loved ones.
A major public health issue
According to the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people worldwide are affected by this disease, and this number could nearly double by 2050. Faced with the lack of a cure, researchers are exploring new avenues, among which CBD is attracting growing interest.
CBD: A promising alternative
A natural compound with recognized virtues
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabis extract that has no psychotropic effects. Unlike THC, it does not produce a high.
Numerous studies have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, which places it among the substances with high potential to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Beneficial effects on symptoms
Recent research in animal models has highlighted several positive effects of CBD:
-
Reduction of brain inflammation , an aggravating factor in Alzheimer's.
-
Reduction of amyloid plaques , responsible for neuronal deterioration.
-
Improvement in sleep and anxiety , symptoms frequently observed in patients.
-
Alleviation of behavioral disturbances , such as agitation and irritability.
Although these results are encouraging, further clinical studies are needed to validate these observations in humans.
Towards a wider acceptance of CBD
Changing perceptions
Despite a still unclear perception of CBD in certain medical spheres, many countries are gradually integrating this molecule into their treatment protocols.
Encouraging research and disseminating clear, fact-based information on its benefits would help demystify its use and increase its accessibility.
Favor quality products

Conclusion

However, further research is essential and it is always important to consult a healthcare professional before considering regular use.
With better scientific recognition and appropriate regulation, CBD could well become a major asset in supporting patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.
