Dr. Cooray, who is also a specialist in Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology, and Hepatology goes on to say, \u201cWe are not suggesting with the current knowledge of medical cannabis that it is a prevention, treatment or cure for COVID-19 or coronaviruses. However, plant cannabinoids have naturally occurring immunomodulatory properties that absolutely require expedited investigation given the current global COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cannalogue is responding to the call by the Honourable Prime Minister of Canada to enforce wartime measures and for all Canadian businesses to stand united in the fight against COVID-19.\u00a0 The specialists at Cannalogue believe the active medical ingredients from the cannabis plant could potentially boost the immune system to reduce the severity of symptoms from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCannabinoid receptors are naturally found on immune cells in the body.\u00a0 If stimulated prior to an infection, it may dampen the inflammatory response that follows, which is a key factor in the severity of symptoms observed in patients,\u201d says Dr. Cooray.\u00a0 This appears to be a common mechanism of action for the current therapies being investigated for COVID-19 research studies.\u00a0 \u201cIf we can\u2019t flatten the curve, then we need to focus on reducing the number of deaths,\u201d says Dr. Cooray.<\/p>\n<p>In support of the medical cannabis sector and scientific research community, Cannalogue will be releasing an exclusive insider health report that reveals key medical insights on emerging therapeutic areas with respect to medical cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, including patient recruitment and clinical trial sponsors, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cannalogue.ca\/coronavirus\">www.cannalogue.ca\/coronavirus<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>About Cannalogue<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>Based in\u00a0Toronto, Cannalogue is a rapidly emerging healthcare technology company that received Health Canada&#8217;s first direct-to-sales licence for medical cannabis.
