They lubricate (clear) the arteries and are vital to the immune

to successfully treat "terminal" cancer patients, as

atrophy, gall stones, kidney degeneration, acne, dry skin, menstrual

Eidelman, M.D., UCLA, and R. Lee Hamilton, Ed.D., Ph.D. Medical
Researcher-Biochemist UCLA Emeritus, to speak out on behalf of
"the life-giving values" of hemp. They state: "These
essential oils support the immune system and guard against viral
and other insults to the immune system. Studies are in progress
using the essential oils to support the immune systems of persons
with the H.I.V. virus. So far they have been extremely promising."
"What is the richest source of these essential
oils? Yes, you guessed it, the seeds of the hemp plant
