“The nonpsychoactive cannabis constituent cannabidiol is an oral anti-arthritic
therapeutic in murine collagen-induced arthritis” (Article) by A. M.
Malfait, R. Gallily, P. F. Sumariwalla, A. S. Malik, E. Andreakos, R. Mechoulam, and M. Feldmann.
The therapeutic potential of cannabidiol (CBD), the major nonpsychoactive component of cannabis, was explored in
murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). CIA was elicited by immunizing DBA/1 mice with type II collagen (CII)
in complete Freund's adjuvant. The CII used was either bovine or murine, resulting in classical acute CIA or in
chronic relapsing CIA, respectively. CBD was administered after onset of clinical symptoms, and in both
models of arthritis the treatment effectively blocked progression of arthritis. CBD was equally effective when
administered i.p. or orally. Visit: http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=16904

Arthritis: Rheumatoid (BIZ, Inf)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in the
joints. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand, although it can also
affect other parts of the body. There are two basic types of treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis: those aimed
