Gb Sciences Co-Publishes Study Demonstrating Efficacy of Its Proprietary Cannabinoid Mixtures for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease
As published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, the biopharmaceutical drug development firm’s sponsored research has identified and validated cannabinoid ratio-controlled, Minimum Essential Mixtures (MEM) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease symptoms
LAS VEGAS – October 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and drug development company, has co-published a study in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology that demonstrates the efficacy of its proprietary cannabinoid-containing, minimum essential mixtures (MEM) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). There is a great clinical need for improved therapeutics, and the market for Parkinson’s disease treatments is expected to grow to $8.8 billion by 2026.
“Our drug discovery process has identified promising ratio-controlled mixtures of cannabis-inspired compounds for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, which have proven effective at reducing Parkinsonian motor symptoms in an animal model of the disease,” said Dr. Andrea Small Howard, President, Chief Science Officer, and Director of Gb Sciences. “This study allows us to continue addressing unmet clinical needs through the development of novel plant-inspired drugs, and positions Gb Sciences as a contributor to the expanding world of novel PD therapeutics.”
For this Gb Sciences-sponsored study, the discovery research using cell models of Parkinson’s disease was performed at Chaminade University (Honolulu, Hawai’i, USA), and the MEM refinement and validation research was performed in a zebrafish model of Parkinson’s disease at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The study entitled “Identification of minimum essential therapeutic mixtures from Cannabis plant extracts by screening in cell and animal models of Parkinson’s disease“ was co-authored by Gb Sciences’ own President and Chief Science Officer Andrea Small-Howard and her collaborators Michael G. Morash, Jessica Nixon, and Lee Ellis from the National Research Council of Canada; Lori M.N. Shimoda and Helen Turner from Chaminade University of Honolulu; and Alexander J. Stokes from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (Manoa, Hawai’i, USA).
The sequentially reductionist process implemented in this multi-site study preserves some of the entourage-like effects of whole plant extracts while achieving “relative” simplicity within MEM that is a requirement for obtaining the manufacturing and quality control advantages of single-ingredient drugs. This paper identifies promising minimal essential mixtures of cannabinoids based on a step-wise, strategic approach to reducing the complexity of the plant secondary metabolome. The sequential use of in silico, in vitro, and medium throughput in vivo experimental systems has generated refined, de-risked mixtures that can now be tested in additional, higher-cost, preclinical model systems of PD.
Gb Sciences’ Parkinson’s therapeutics are currently being tested in a rodent model of Parkinson’s disease at the University of Lethbridge, and these Parkinson’s MEM have been formulated as Oral Dissolving Tablets in preparation for human clinical trials. The Company is preparing for the final rounds of toxicology and pharmacology testing as required for filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Author Jan Morgan’s New Book, ‘Blades of Grass in the Desert’ is the Captivating Tale of a Historic Restored Mansion and the Supernatural Secrets It Holds
Recent release “Blades of Grass in the Desert” from Covenant Books author Jan Morgan is a compelling tale of secrets uncovered from within the walls of a plantation-style mansion. From Texas to Mexico and then South Carolina, the captivating tale of the Gullah people displays a journey to freedom.
BEDFORD, Texas – October 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Jan Morgan, retired school administrator and cofounder of the nonprofit BridgesWork, has completed her new book, “Blades of Grass in the Desert”: an enchanting tale of a restored mansion and the secrets within its walls.
Morgan shares, “Several years have passed since the old plantation-style mansion at 1324 Blessing Path was lovingly restored, but the mysterious old place is apparently still calling the shots. Years ago, when it was discovered that the house had supernatural tendencies, two retired ladies set out on a quest to determine its history. Tracing its lineage from central Texas to Charleston, South Carolina, they uncovered a love story worthy of comparison to Gone with the Wind and eventually realized that there were ‘plans’ for the structure that had been set in place as far back as 1950.
“This time, however, events lead one of the ladies not to the east coast but to the deserts of west Texas where she befriends a beautiful, young woman from Guatemala. Wondering whether their meeting was serendipitous, Jamie returns to Sweet Grass Memories, the name given the House, and shares a handwritten letter with Ms. G that the young woman gave her the last time they spoke. The letter, together with a photograph of a lone boat on the shore of the Rio Grande, lead the two of them, Reid, Tracy, and the kids of the House, on another adventure, one that rivals any television docudrama.
“The story winds its way from the dry, blowing sand of west Texas, into Mexico, and finally returns to the estuaries and humidity of Charleston, South Carolina, and its indomitable Gullah people. People whose ancestors endured like blades of grass pushing through concrete; endured and sang songs about faith and hope as they journeyed toward freedom.
“Just like the Gullah peoples during the slave era, today many others endure. Walking or riding northward through deserts, they journey toward a different kind of freedom; freedom from devastating drought and hunger, and freedom to live again in places that are absent the perils associated with trying to survive where malevolence thrives.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Jan Morgan’s new book shares a compelling story of love, passion and supernatural secrets hidden within the walls of a historic mansion.
Readers can purchase “Blades of Grass in the Desert” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Both authors explore a variety of topics, each bringing their own perspective.
Tatianna asks, “Why does double-mindedness // keep wanting to creep up in my head? // Why do I keep tossing and turning in this bed? // Why are these images causing me to be scared? // Why do these emotions cause these tears? // Rolling down like rain // Waiting for these emotions to end // Looking to see sunshine in my day.” Alphonso writes, “I just wanted to yell and fight but was crippled instead // spoke the harshness of words that came to my head // I hated you, I hated myself even more // couldn’t believe you, I believed in you // I tried to give you the best of me // I just wanted you to love me.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Tatianna Danielle and Alphonso Luciano’s collaborative poetry takes readers on a journey; the poetry tells their story. It goes through the ups and downs of life. It’s raw, real, and full of emotion. The poetry comes from a place where pain is felt but it evolves into healing. It speaks to the heart, mind, and soul of those who are struggling to find their way. Both authors have experienced many life challenges, but they never lost sight that there is always a brighter day.

Author Robert Espinosa’s new book ‘The Great American Novel’ is a contemporary allegorical fantasy filled with satire, comical characters, and philosophical musings
Recent release “The Great American Novel: An American Saga Book One” from Newman Springs Publishing author Robert Espinosa is at once a story of the American spirit and a satire of our current age. It takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery that may make them question their own life and purpose.
BONNEY LAKE, Wash. – October 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Robert Espinosa, a former college-football student-athlete who has two master’s degrees, one in education and the other in kinesiology, and was born and raised in Southern California, has completed his new book “The Great American Novel: An American Saga Book One”: a gripping and potent tale that takes some of the country’s most popular themes and presents them in a unique and hilarious way.
Espinosa writes, “The core group was six students, four seniors and two juniors. Of the seniors, three were girls; and each was a work all their own— Abril, Joy, and Winter. His lone senior boy was also his star football player, Allister De La Vega or ‘Vega’ for short. The two juniors were also football stars in their own right, served as his honorary ‘gofers’ and, in some instances, ‘enforcers’ against any student of his that needed to be put in line. It helped that they were twin brothers and both the size of refrigerators, Pablo and Jiro, known throughout the school as the Torres twins or Twin Towers, as Eli himself called them. This was his group, his core, and, though he’d never admit it in a thousand lifetimes, the only reason he was actually looking forward to this the first day of school.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Robert Espinosa’s quirky and suspenseful tale deftly examines what it means to be an American. It is full of drama and intrigue; it explores universal problems that everyone can relate to while also managing to provide an entertaining read. It is at once a story of the American spirit and a satire of our current age. The novel takes place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest where it examines American values and ideals.
High-school teacher and football coach Eli is not as fine as he appears to be on the outside. Behind closed doors, he is dealing with a rocky marriage and multiple other issues. One day after chatting with a mysterious man, his life miraculously turns around. Now, he achieves celebrity status but also makes strong enemies. It turns out that the mystery man gave Eli an ancient blessing. Readers will discover if he will be able to succeed in his new life. With a diverse cast of characters, it has something for everyone to relate to while also providing an entertaining storyline that will leave the reader on the edge of their seat awaiting the next twist and turn.
Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase “The Great American Novel: An American Saga Book One” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
