Marijuana compound removes toxic Alzheimer’s protein from the brain
Scientists have proven that THC can inhibit the formation of amyloid plaques, which can, in turn, prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s from ever occurring. The THC achieves this by blocking the enzyme in the human brain which creates amyloid plaques. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been shown to help remove toxic slumps of amyloid beta protein, and this protein is believed to jumpstart Alzheimer’s disease. Earlier research had indicated that cannabinoids (THC) could protect against neurodegenerative disease, as David Schubert (Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California team member) details: “Although other studies have offered evidence that cannabinoids might be neuroprotective against...
