they will then feel comfortable enough to shop. “ It goes without saying that not all CBD products are the same,” Smith said .

Our Policy is transparency and excellence. Consumers deserve to get exactly what they pay for and we want to teach our customers what to look for so that they can feel confident and get consistent results when finding their way with CBD. Double lab testing, proper extraction in an FDA registered lab, hemp sourced from USDA-regulated farms, and even passing the grueling test of becoming one of the first USDA organic and kosher certified products on the market are just some of the ways we have stayed true MYTH 2: to our customers. Although the industry hasn’t called ALL CBD IS THE SAME. SMITH: The fact is, industrial hemp is the correct us to stand up to such rigorous standards We feel it’s plant to extract CBD from . Where in the plant it a necessary standard and future benchmark that all is extracted and the process used effects the quality. CBD companies should have to stand up to .

Extracting it from the flower provides the highest concentration of CBD. Many companies extract Learn more about how CBD can it from the seed or the stem which is an easier and possibly help you or a loved one by cheaper process. We regulate everything from soil to visiting N.H’s Flagship Your CBD oil.

Store located in Concord N.H. Our products come from a Colorado farm certified by that state’s Department Of Agriculture. We also use third party testing . We bounce all our products off Your CBD Store the harshest critics.

Concord Many companies do not show that transparency 603-715-1153 with third party testing. When we have tested other 211 Loudon Rd. Ste A companies products we find trace amount of chemical Concord N.H. solvents in the plant matter . We’ve seen this in many products on the market. @ Courtyard SQ In a recent UCONN study , Smith said 100 CBD products pulled off of the shelves at health food stores , gas stations, vape shops , and online sites less than 67% tested out properly.

“Our approach is simple at YOUR CBD STORE “ said Smith . Education is first and foremost, when our customers have been educated on CBD properly

MYTH 1: CBD ONLY COMES FROM THE MARIJUANA PLANT AND IT WILL MAKE ME HIGH .

Smith : You can get CBD from a marijuana plant but it’s going to be low in concentration.

The highest concentration of CBD and other Cannabinoids comes from industrial hemp .

The marijuana plant is high in tetrahydrocannabinol or THC , and very low in CBD .

CBD is not mind altering. You cannot get addicted to it . CBD interacts with the body very differently from THC. It does not produce a “ high” .

In May 2019 , the first ever NH-based retail location for Florida-based company SunFlora selling CBD (Cannabidiol) products under the SunMed brand was opened in Concord NH by Rick & Laurie Smith . “ Since opening in Concord 4 years ago, we have served more than 25,000 plus customers ,” Smith says. I can’t even put into words what we’ve seen as far as results from our customers.

Our very first week, I can remember seeing customers come in 5, 7,10 people at a time with various issues and seeking information and a place to tell their story of what they were fending off .

“We open at 10am and we would pull up to the storefront to see customers waiting at the door, and we stayed open well past our closing time so we could accommodate everyone “ Some of the Your CBD Store customers who believed in the product so much actually decided to open their own store.

“We’re now the largest brick and mortar CBD outlet in the world “ Smith states “with 500 plus locations in the US and stores overseas’ In a marketplace exploding with CBD products where everything from bath bombs to gummy bears is available online, at health food stores and even gas stations, what’s a consumer to do? Smith tackles some of the myths about CBD , which is even beginning to gain a modicum of credibility within the scientific and medical communities. 3 years ago the food and drug administration approved the drug Epidolex for the treatment of seizures associated with some form of epilepsy.

According to the FDA website, “ This is the first FDA - approved drug that contains a purified drug substance derived from marijuana….. CBD is a chemical component of the Cannabis Sativa plant, more commonly known as marijuana “ and the website for the National Cancer Institute of Health, says “ Cannabinoids may help treat the symptoms of cancer or the side effects of cancer treatments.

“SHE SAVED MY LIFE”

Concord resident Dawn R. had been experiencing the painful side effects of Peripheral Neuropathy, “My feet and legs were extremely painful and my doctor told me there was nothing they could do.

That I would have to take Gabapentin for the rest of my life.”

Then she met Concord’s very own Dr. Kristen Markwith, Licensed Acupuncturist.

We specialize in difficult to treat cases and chronic conditions, autoimmune disorders, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, and peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral Neuropathy is the pain, discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage of the peripheral nervous system. Dawn explained that daily tasks like opening doors and using the bathroom were overwhelmingly painful.

“How can you live for the next 30 years when you don’t even want to get out of bed and do simple things?”

She was experiencing the burning, numbness, tingling and sharp pains that those suffering with neuropathy often describe. “The way I would describe it, it’s equivalent to walking on glass.”

Dawn hadn’t worn socks in five years and was wearing shoes two sizes too big so that nothing would ‘touch’ her feet.

Unfortunately, Dawn’s story is all too familiar for the over 3 million people in the U.S. suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy.

If you’re unfortunate enough to be facing the same disheartening prognosis, you’re not sleeping at night because of the burning in your feet.

You have difficulty walking, shopping or doing any activity for more than 30 minutes because of the pain. You’re struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall. Your doctor told you to, ‘just live with the pain’ and you’re taking medications that aren’t working or have uncomfortable side effects.

Fortunately, four months ago Dawn read an article about Dr. Kristen Markwith, Licensed Acupuncturist, and the work she was doing to treat those suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy, without invasive surgeries or medications.

Dr. Kristen Markwith, founder of Trend Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine in Concord, NH., is using the time tested science of Acupuncture and a technology originally developed

by NASA that assists in increasing blood flow and expediting recovery and healing to treat the debilitating disease.

“Now when I go to bed at night I don’t have those shooting pains. I don’t have that burning sensation. I don’t have pain coming up my legs,” Dawn enthusiastically describes life after

receiving Dr. Kristen’s treatments. “I can wear socks and shoes!”

Dawn and her sister now operate a successful dog walking business, sometimes covering up to 5 miles a day.

Fire & Water Cleanup & Restoration™ FASTER TO ANY SIZE DISASTER

“It’s life altering. As far as I’m concerned Dr. Kristen saved my life!”

Dr. Kristen Markwith has been helping the senior community for over 10 years using the most cutting edge innovative integrative medicine. Specializing in chronic pain cases, specifically those that have been deemed ‘hopeless’ or ‘untreatable,’ she consistently generates unparalleled results.

What was once a missing link in senior healthcare is now easily accessible to the residents in and around Concord.

If you’ve missed too many tee times because of pain or you passed on dancing the shag down on Main Street because you are afraid of falling, it’s time to call Dr. Kristen Markwith and the staff at Trend.
