With Cannabis as a medicine, we think that it would somehow replace some of the waste materials used by factories that produce a large quantity of CO2.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The conference explores human beings’ dynamic relationship with the cannabis plant and what recent developments might mean for our health and well-being. Zach Walsh is a clinical psychologist and substance use researcher who teaches at UBC.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group at a TEDx event. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to specific rules and regulations)

The Role of Immune System Inflammation with Depression and Schizophrenia – A Breakthrough in Research

psy928 — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:31:33 +0000

There is a close link between the immune system and Schizophrenia. Finally, we can understand that in research on the substances found in the inflammation with Schizophrenia and Depression there is an increase of certain interleukins and the same low-grade activation of the immune response.

So now we can study this more and get a clear view of the proteins or amino acids needed to reduce the levels of these substances causing the illness.

We can now figure out the real medicine for the patients not only by use of supplements but by interesting types of research as if the body is fighting an illness.

The latest research says that the brain has excessive levels of cyclins in those with Schizophrenia when they are psychotic. In the near future, larger amounts of Interleukin-10 can be measured in the healthy. While the level is extremely low in those with illness. Levels of Interleukin-6 and TNF-Alpha and Interferon Gamma are often high in those with psychosis and even higher psychosis at even greater levels.

You can be schizophrenic without having symptoms. This is no longer a chronic disease. But a disease of a chronic nature. Being schizophrenic without symptoms is the same as being healthy.

The medicine some take shuts down the immune system. A person we know is using Trilafon 0.8ml every two weeks, and 3 x 300mg Quentiapin Depot Tablets daily and feels that the immune system is turning off when Quentiapin is working at its best.

Why do we know it turns off? It is because he himself has experienced being 100% healthy from his disorder, due to mysterious reasons such as Cannabis and when he made antibiotics in the room when he was lying in a belt bed and spitting up to the ceiling all the time.

So when he started the medication, he experienced the same healing as when he was completely healthy.

Functional Medicine for Depressive Disorder: Advances in the Treatment Paradigm — Robert Hedaya, MD

Here we might see what unfair treatment is. What new models do we need to look into to become better self? What are aspects of already known sicknesses? And some things cause problems related to problems one has. There is a different focus on what might change to a better connection to understanding the more environmental issues. Often, things that change in stimulus to people and disrupt illness.
