Cannabinoids and Adaptive Immuno-Modulation
The COVID epidemic has accelerated research of the immune system’s integrated response to viral diseases. This 30-minute video sponsored by the American Osteopathic Association discusses cannabinoids’ impact on optimal immune function. It is presented by physician author, Jeffrey S. Block, MD – founder and principal partner of an independent professional consultancy providing client organizations with advanced scientific guidance. Dr. Block’s industry-wide expertise provides insight by translating the evolving science’s objective evidence-based data into clinical applications.
