To read the original article about Whether CBD Oil Helps or Hinders the Body’s Immune Response at Real Tested CBD.At the height of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, you may have seen ads reporting on CBD oil’s incredible “immune-boosting” properties. Some pundits even claim CBD could protect against serious viruses the same way many antioxidants can.While CBD oil shows great potential in the field of immunology, it may not have the effects you’d expect. People who want to use CBD for their immune health must understand the latest research in this evolving field.How Does CBD Influence The Immune System?As with many other aspects of CBD, we can’t say how this cannabinoid influences the immune response. There are far too few studies on humans to clearly understand how the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and CBD affect immunity.However, most current research into CBD for immune health suggests CBD is an all-natural immunosuppressant. While that may not seem like &#...

Santa Clara County ponders 30-unit interim housing project for families

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:04 GMT

A recent decision by Santa Clara to forego sponsorship of a Project HomeKey development for homeless families leaves the fate of a proposed 30-unit interim housing complex in the hands of the more experienced, better equipped Santa Clara County, which will vote on the project next week.The Board of Supervisors will decide Tuesday whether to take on the responsibility of serving as the co-sponsor with the nonprofit LifeMoves on an application for critical state funding through Project HomeKey, the pandemic-era initiative that has helped convert and create housing for homeless individuals in California.Consuelo Hernandez, the director of the county’s office of supportive housing, said cities sometimes do not want to take on that role because, unlike the county, they don’t have dedicated resources for homelessness.“The county receives funding from the state that is supposed to be distributed county-wide,” she said. “For Santa Clara, that risk of having to ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:04 GMT

Owning a home in the Bay Area now costs more than twice as much as renting one, the largest disparity of any major population center in the country, as homeownership stretches even further out of reach for many local residents.San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland tallied the biggest cost differences between renting and owning among U.S. cities, according to a new report by real estate listing site Redfin.In San Jose, the monthly mortgage payment for a typical newly purchased home is an estimated $11,049, a 165% premium on the median rental price of $4,176, the report found. In San Francisco, the discrepancy is 139%. It’s 99% in Oakland.In much of the rest of the country, a typical home costs 25% more to buy than rent.Redfin compared mortgage and rental costs for single-family homes, condos and townhouses in the 50 most populous U.S. metros. The report did not analyze apartment rental prices.While some people choose to rent — and forgo building home equity — because ...

SF Giants’ Wade talks historic Splash Hit, and what his plans are for the ball

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:04 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – Giants utilityman Lamonte Wade Jr. was able to get possession of his historic home run ball Friday night, a 385-foot blast that cleared the right field fence and landed into McCovey Cove on the fly.He just doesn’t quite know what will happen to the ball from here — although he has a good idea of what he wants to see happen.“I don’t know who it goes to. But I think personally it should go to me. I would like to keep it,” Wade said after the Giants’ 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. “So I’m pretty sure we will have discussions and negotiations about that. I think it should be mine.”Wade recorded the 100th Splash Hit in Giants history, as he drove a first-pitch fastball from Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer into the water in the first inning before some folks in the announced Oracle Park crowd of 27,873 had even taken their seats.“I was trying to get a jump on a fastball early,” Wade said. “(Kremer’s) usually pretty good in the zone early. I...

Golden eagle’s nest halts roadwork on Contra Costa County connector

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:04 GMT

The eagle has landed — and work has stopped on a long-planned thoroughfare in eastern Contra Costa County.Now, East Contra Costa County residents who have long waited for Brentwood’s Sand Creek Road to connect to Antioch and a hospital along the route will have to wait a little longer.A golden eagle laid an egg in a nest in a eucalyptus tree near where a portion of the road would run just before work was to begin in late March. Because golden eagles are a protected species, no one will be lifting a shovel for several months now.When completed, the east-west thoroughfare linking southeast Antioch with Brentwood is expected to shave at least 10 minutes off a trip to the nearest hospital — Kaiser Permanente Antioch Medical Center — and relieve traffic on the heavily used Lone Tree Way to the north.Heather Beeler, migratory bird biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said biologists working in the area first discovered the nest in 2018, but it has not alway...

‘We’re not going back’: The US and Europe are entering a new trade era

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:04 GMT

The trade relationship between the U.S. and the EU used to hinge on issues such as whether Americans could label their cheese using European names like Gorgonzola — or whether Europeans should buy U.S. chicken washed in chlorine.The focus now is more existential—and could make trade disputes more difficult to resolve.The first pandemic in living memory has forced a rethink of global supply chains. Massive investments are now pouring into climate change efforts. New technologies like artificial intelligence and next generation 6G communication networks threaten to upend how economies and governments function.Running beneath it all: growing anxiety over competition from China and an increasing focus in both the EU and U.S. on propping up domestic industries instead of encouraging global imports.“This is a different world: Climate, non-market economy policies and practices, supply chain vulnerabilities are top of mind,” said Daniel Mullaney, who retired this year as the United States’ ...
