“The most likely cause is that people
using marijuana frequently and in high
doses have changes in the receptors in
their body, and those receptors become
dysregulated in some way, and it starts
causing pain,” says Dr. Kennon Heard,
co-author of the study and a physician
at the University of Colorado Hospital.
In other words, doctors have no idea
why this is occurring. The condition is
treated with hot showers and baths,
but most medical professionals also
suggest reducing or eliminating the
intake of marijuana. However,
I disagree with this theory.
Missing from these scenarios is a trend
that has seen a dramatic increase in liver
disease in the human population. Broken
agricultural methods have led to a decrease
in calcium and sulphur in the food
supply. With this, comes a subsequent
inability to conjugate toxins in the phase
one and phase two detox pathways. The
liver is designed to bind toxins to compounds,
to neutralize them for elimination
in the bowel. It can only do this if it has
the necessary ingredients to perform this
function. Over the years, calcium—one of
the most important parts of the phase one
detox functionality—has been drastically
reduced in the world’s vegetable supply,
and along with the advent of processed
food, it has been almost eliminated from
the modern human diet. This depletion
of calcium coincides with an increase
in liver disease.
With this insight in mind, CHS may be
exacerbated by both the condition of an
increased toxic load in commercially
grown cannabis, with all its pesticide
residue, and toxins in the food supply
as well. Unable to be removed by a
non-functioning liver, toxins overload
the body and lead to vomiting. There
are two problems occurring here. The
first is that the liver is unable to detox
due to mineral malnutrition, creating
the inability of the liver to perform
glucuronidation. Glucuronidation is the
body’s major phase two detoxification
pathway in which hormones, foreign
substances, and toxic chemicals—
especially pesticides—are made
harmless and eliminated. Many of these
chemicals are potential carcinogens.
The second problem is that some gut
bacteria produce an enzyme called
ß-glucuronidase that destroys the bond
of toxins conjugated out of a functioning
liver while in the bowel, which
allows the toxin to be re-absorbed
through the intestinal wall back into
the blood stream. This means that
even if the liver was working, ß-glucuronidase
prevents toxins from being
eliminated. In a non-functioning liver,
some toxins never get eliminated,
which leads to toxic overload, which
leads to vomiting. My theory is that it’s
not the cannabis itself that causes a
person to vomit; it’s the toxic chemicals
used to grow weed, the chronic toxicity
of the modern world, and the depleted
nutritional content of our food supply.
In the late 1990s, Dr. Walazek, a Polish
doctor working on cancer treatments
with calcium salts, found that a derivative
of broccoli and apples can suppress
the enzyme ß-glucuronidase: calcium
d-glucarate. This is a critical part
of a larger solution to CHS. The
first step is to get the liver working
again, which requires calcium and
sulphur to get toxins in a molecularly
bonded, neutralized form for
elimination. Growing plants with
gypsum or added minerals, such
as a multi-mineral complex from
ocean water raises the calcium and
sulphur levels in the food. Eating this
high-sulphur and high-calcium food is
then the fastest and easiest way to get
the liver detox pathways working.
Organically grown yellow onions
(the ones that make you tear when you
cut them) provide sulphur, and kale
and spinach can provide calcium. The
second step is to use the calcium d-
glucarate to suppress the enzyme so you
can start getting rid of stored toxins. The
suggested solution by the doctors show
that they do not know these parts of the
puzzle. They say to reduce or eliminate
marijuana. This may not be possible
if you are using cannabis for medical
reasons, but it will tend to reduce some
levels of toxic accumulation. Experts
also suggest taking hot baths, which
may cause an increase in blood flow and
elimination of toxins by the kidneys to
bypass the liver to reduce toxic levels.
CHS is an important condition
to resolve. While I can’t prescribe
anything specific, I have never
“
In the event you
consume something
that is contaminated
or poisonous, vomiting
is your body’s way of
getting rid of it.”
personally experienced this
problem, even with years
of chronic cannabis use,
because I go on a course of
calcium d-glucarate once
a year—60 capsules of 200
milligrams each evening at
bedtime and in the morning
for 30 days. Calcium d-glucarate is
proven to get rid of pesticides, aromatic
hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and
agricultural chemicals. It also reduces
reactive oxygen species because it
prevents gut bacteria from producing
the bond-cutting enzyme, allowing
toxins sent out of the liver the leave
the body. Calcium d-glucarate breaks
down to glucaric acid.
Apples are one of the best sources of
glucaric acid. Here’s another way to
look at it—an apple a day keeps the
oncologist away.
