has been trending in the cannabis world. But why?
Kelly Preston (our Extern and the owner of Farley's Green Paw Consulting) explains.
"While the exact mechanisms through which CBG may combat cancer in pets are still being investigated, several potential pathways are being explored:
Modulating the endocannabinoid system: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex network of receptors and signaling molecules found throughout the body. CBG may interact with these receptors, potentially influencing cancer cell growth and behavior. The ECS plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including pain, mood, and immune response. By interacting with the ECS, CBG may be able to influence the behavior of cancer cells, potentially inhibiting their growth and spread.
Reducing inflammation: By reducing inflammation, CBG may create a more favorable environment for the immune system to fight cancer cells and alleviate pain associated with the disease. Chronic inflammation is often linked to cancer development and progression, and reducing it can help create a more conducive environment for the immune system to function effectively.
Protecting healthy cells: CBG's antioxidant and neuroprotective properties can help safeguard healthy cells from damage caused by cancer or its treatment. This is particularly important, as cancer treatments can often have negative side effects on healthy cells. By protecting healthy cells, CBG may help reduce the overall impact of cancer and its treatment on the pet's well-being.
Potentiating the effects of other treatments: CBG may work synergistically with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, enhancing their effectiveness while potentially reducing side effects. This could be particularly beneficial for pets undergoing traditional cancer treatments, as it may help improve the efficacy of these treatments while minimizing their negative side effects."
