Top 5 Reasons Our Double Board Certified Doctor Recommends Marijuana To Patients

LifeCannMD was founded by Dr. Fernando Fandiño-Sende in Miami, and is dedicated to the evaluation, education, and treatment of patients who qualify for Medical Cannabis, since June 2017, Florida residents with certain qualifying conditions can obtain a Medical Marijuana recommendation for treatment. 

Dr. Fernando Fandiño-Sende is a Double Board-Certified Cardiologist and Internal Medicine Doctor with more than 30 years of experience. Here are five reasons why our double board-certified doctor might recommend Medical Marijuana to patients:

1. Pain Management: Marijuana, particularly its cannabinoids like THC and CBD, has shown effectiveness in alleviating various types of pain, including neuropathic pain, chronic pain, and pain associated with conditions like multiple sclerosis or arthritis. For patients struggling with pain management, especially when other medications have been ineffective or come with undesirable side effects, marijuana can offer a viable alternative.

2. Treatment of Nausea: Marijuana has long been recognized for its antiemetic properties, making it beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy or experiencing nausea due to other medical conditions or treatments. Its ability to reduce nausea can significantly improve the quality of life for patients undergoing intensive treatments.

3. Appetite Stimulation: Many medical conditions, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, and eating disorders, can lead to a loss of appetite and unintended weight loss. Marijuana, particularly strains high in THC, can stimulate appetite and reduce wasting syndrome, helping patients maintain a healthy weight and nutritional status.

4. Management of Neurological Disorders: Some neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, have shown positive responses to treatment with marijuana-derived compounds. Cannabidiol (CBD), in particular, has gained attention for its potential to reduce seizures in patients with epilepsy and improve symptoms in other neurological conditions.

5. Anxiety and Mood Disorders: While the relationship between marijuana and mental health is complex and varies depending on factors like dosage, strain, and individual differences, our patients find relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mood disorders through Medical Marijuana use.
