CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Using CBD may provide neuroprotective benefits that may be able to delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease and may also be able to treat and manage some symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease, such as agitation, sleep disturbances, and lost inhibition. Science Daily shared recent promising research into how CBD may be a valuable tool in preventing, delaying, and treating Alzheimer’s Disease, “A two-week course of high doses of CBD helps restore the function of two proteins key to reducing the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaque, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease and improves cognition in an experimental model of early-onset familial Alzheimer’s, investigators report…The proteins TREM2 and IL-33 are important to the ability of the brain’s immune cells to consume dead cells and other debris like the beta-amyloid plaque that piles up in patients’ brains, and levels of both are decreased in Alzheimer’s. The investigators report for the first time that CBD normalizes levels and function, improving cognition as it also reduces levels of the immune protein IL-6, which is associated with the high inflammation levels found in Alzheimer’s, says Dr. Babak Baban…They found CBD appears to normalize levels of IL-33, a protein whose highest expression in humans is normally in the brain, where it helps sound the alarm that there is an invader like the beta-amyloid accumulation. There is emerging evidence of its role as a regulatory protein, whose function of either turning up or down the immune response depends on the environment, Baban says. In Alzheimer’s, that includes turning down inflammation and trying to restore balance to the immune system, he says.”
