Empowering People to be Healthy and Happy: An Interview with Eva Vennari

Piermarini is a vocal advocate for CBD and natural medicine. He is a speaker for the USA CBD expo, Lucky Leaf Expo, and The CBD Expo and would have spoken at the World CBD Expo if not for CV-19. He continues to write and create resources for patients and doctors. He co-authored a review paper about how CBD works for pain management and was a lead author for a letter to the editor calling for more legitimate CBD products. He also finished his first book titled, "CBD Education From A Medical Professional” , to continue to help educate patients and other medical professionals about CBD. His book is available on Amazon and Kindle.

When CV-19 affected his clinic, Piermarini took the opportunity to create an online course for medical professionals and laypeople to educate them about CBD, the endocannabinoid system, and the difference between cannabis and hemp. "I think it's a great place to at least get people up to speed and understand the vernacular and what the endocannabinoid system is, " he said. Piermarini wants to educate people properly, especially since other resources on marijuana can fall to the extreme. "CBD is not a cure-all for everything, " Piermarini stated.

Currently, Piermarini is working with the Arizona state legislature to allow physician assistants to prescribe medical marijuana. "I'm working closely with a few legislators, and they just floated a bill right now for me to give all PAs and NPs the ability to recommend medical marijuana to our patients. "

The work has just begun for PA Charlie Piermarini, but he has a balanced view of the situation. More people are seeking natural alternatives to their medicine, and that's encouraging.

"Vaccines are great antibody therapies, but all these other medications we're doing are like Hail Mary's, " Piermarini said. "If we were a society that prioritized primary prevention of disease, such as activity, eating a well-balanced diet, good supplements, getting good rest, I think we would have been in a little bit better of a situation. "

Why People with COVID Lose Their Sense of Smell

By Odessa Kramer

There are now over 29 million coronavirus cases in the U.S. From body malaise to shortness of breath, the virus presents itself in different ways. One of the most common and interesting symptoms is anosmia or smell blindness. An NIH review studied a total of 11,054 COVID-19 patients and found that this loss of smell often precedes the other, more severe symptoms of the virus. This loss of smell can suddenly occur in people infected with COVID-19 and is often associated with loss of taste, too. Loss of smell in COVID-positive patients may happen with or without a stuffy or runny nose; in some cases, this may even be permanent.
