A few days this story appeared on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11164078
Clue found to why egg flaws seen in older women.
This seems to tie into a theory I was thinking about a few years ago 'The aging human and the endocannabinoid systems that control how we grow live and die'. The first clues were with the diagnosing of some speciality and mental disorders showing mutations in the CB receptors in the brain causing the area to malfunction and not grow according to plan. and posted across a few blogs, I then went on to speculate that more genetic mutations in the endocannabinoid system would show with age(2) its all to do with the ECSN from the very first moments of creation the ECSN is active even in the splitting of chromosomes. I basically believe that the ECSN has no supplement in today's society, a lack of cannabinoids/lipoproteins in our diets over the last 4 decades are starting to show, maybe in ways we do not yet understand especially in fertility(1), mental health and many many other illness of the inner balance of the human body as it ages.
Its starting to look more likely the human endocannabinoid system networks are proving to be the very foundation on which we are formed as human beings, the body's version of a wireless cloud transmitting information at every possible level of existence in the human body.
One thing that now puzzles me as its almost certain that the whole of the reproductive system is based within a ECSN do cannabis based proteins now pose as a 100% safe contraceptive with no lasting effects upon the ovaries as all studies have failed to measure the lasting effects on the reproductive system/ECSN for the womb, my thought is that it would be back to balance within 36-48 hours of consuming due to natural processes within the body's own cannabinoid mechanisms.
