This book was written in order to assess the actual facts and truth within our current physical, medical and psychological scientific paradigms. While not exhaustive by any means, it may serve to pierce the sacrosanct and comfortable barrier of human preconception, and bring needed change. Although at times a bit too honest and plain, in the end, we may discover the truth in paradigm is a direction, a way of looking, with open eyes and a mind free of the pride which imagines the rude and impossible to be true: that we already know enough. Clearly, in this world of pollution, shortage, cruelty, mental imbalance, greed and war...but one thing is needful: Something New. The basis of human advancement and change is created as the bedrock of knowledge shifts. Truth is a direction of evolution, an ascending course which never rests, and from the most basic points of our long trusted theory upward, nothing is sacred. Hope is change. Evolution, truth is not certainty, but process--growth. As to every unshakable axiom and assumption -- let us imagine, anew. So are limits cast and broken. It is this which is: Truth in Paradigm.

Mirror of ages. No more exquisite thing can be conceived than the intricate enmeshment of poetry and design, a delicate web drifting in tangled breeze, shimmering in reflection upon rippled waters, a silver question wavering and intricate, each thread ripe with patient purpose and beauty, ripe is she, this child of the ages. Within the present an image stretches, a hand and palm upturned to welcome and nourish, in kindness, so is the bounty time has cast but the dust of eons, as time crumbles, but the hollow sand within which the root of all perfect worlds is struck. So is her magic, but the virtue of the most delicate threads of patience. The shores of time are rich with treasure. This document will spell out the functional potential and implied therapeutic utility of cannabinoids and Cannabis extracts using phylogenetic, medical and historical analysis, and then detail what appears to be the suppressed approach that may lead to the speedy and inexpensive treatment or cure of many dread diseases using Cannabis extracts, including but not limited to cancer.
