Pentagon whistleblower Ellsberg has months to live
Ellsberg has chosen not to undergo chemotherapy because it holds no promise for him. But he remains committed to advocating for peace."As I look back on the last sixty years of my life, I think there is no greater cause to which I could have dedicated my efforts," he wrote."Daniel Ellsberg is a national hero for blowing the whistle on a war that we should not have fought, and which our top leaders lied about to the American people," said Clark.
"Through his example, he paved the way for thousands of whistleblowers who similarly risk their careers and even freedom to disclose national security problems, health and safety dangers, violations of law, abuses of authority, and gross waste throughout government and within corporations. "In honor of his legacy, we must prevail upon Congress and state legislators to finally produce adequate legal protections for all whistleblowers in order to take the sacrifices of national security whistleblowers to heart."
This hack salutes the courage of those like Daniel Ellsberg who put themselves at risk for the sake of the truth. ®

Efficacy and safety of topical 0.1% cannabidiol for managing recurrent aphthous ulcers: a randomized controlled trial - BMC Complementary Medicine and TherapiesBackground Although topical steroids constitute the first-line therapy for recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAUs), their long-term use often leads to candidiasis. Although cannabidiol (CBD) can be an alternative for pharmacologically managing RAUs due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory in vivo effects, there is a lack of clinical and safety trials concerning its use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of topical 0.1% CBD for managing RAU. Methods A CBD patch test was performed on 100 healthy subjects. CBD was applied on the normal oral mucosa of 50 healthy subjects 3 times/day for 7 days. Oral examination, vital signs, and blood tests were performed pre- and post-CBD use. Another 69 RAU subjects randomly received one of three topical interventions: 0.1% CBD, 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide (TA), or placebo. These were applied on the ulcers 3 times/day for 7 days. The ulcer and erythematous size were measured on day 0, 2, 5, and 7. Pain ratings were recorded daily. The subjects rated their satisfaction with the intervention and completed a quality-of-life questionnaire (OHIP-14). Results None of the subjects exhibited allergic reactions or side effects. Their vital signs and blood parameters were stable before and after the 7-day CBD intervention. CBD and TA significantly reduced ulcer size more than placebo at all time points. The erythematous size reduction was higher in the CBD intervention than the placebo on day 2, while TA reduced the erythematous size at all time points. The pain score in the CBD group was lower compared with placebo on day 5, whereas TA reduced pain more than placebo on day 4, 5, and 7. The subjects receiving CBD reported higher satisfaction than placebo. However, the OHIP-14 scores were comparable among the interventions. Conclusions Topical 0.1% CBD reduced ulcer size and accelerated ulcer healing without side effects. CBD exerted anti-inflammatory effects in the early stage and an analgesic effect in the late
