“A strong field organization seems to

have given Warren a boost. On the

other hand, the fact that six in 10

Democrats are able to offer an opinion

of Steyer shows that an unlimited

advertising budget can come in

handy, too.”

Patrick Murray

Monmouth pollster

Former Vice President Joe Biden
leads the unwieldy field of Democratic
presidential hopefuls among likely
Democratic Iowa caucusgoers, but Sen.
Elizabeth Warren is starting to catch up
with the front-runner, according to a
Monmouth University Poll published
Thursday.
Twenty-eight percent of likely
caucusgoers surveyed in the poll said
they backed Biden, while 19% said they
support Warren. Biden registered 1 per-
centage point higher in Monmouth’s
new survey compared with when they
last polled Iowa voters in April, while
Warren saw her support in the Hawkeye
State climb sharply from the 7% she
polled at four months ago.
As Warren starts to make headway
with voters in Iowa, fellow progressive
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former
Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, are seeing
their support erode. Sanders saw his
support plummet from 16% in April to
9%, while O’Rourke watched his tumble
from 6% to less than 1%.
Sanders ranked second in the April
Monmouth poll, but is now in fourth
place, behind Sen. Kamala Harris at 11%
and just ahead of South Bend, Indiana,
Mayor Pete Buttigieg who registered
support from 8% of likely Iowa Demo-
cratic caucus participants.
The new poll comes as most of the
Democratic field descends on Iowa in
the coming days to take part in the Des
Moines Register Iowa State Fair Soap-
box, the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding
and a slew of other high-profile cam-
paign events in the first-in-the-nation
caucus state.
Warren has seen her favorability
climb in Iowa (76% favorable and 14%
unfavorable in the new poll compared
with 67% favorable and 20% unfavor-
able in April), while Biden has seen a bit
of slippage (73% favorable and 19% un-
favorable in the new poll compared with
78% favorable and 14% unfavorable in
April.) Monmouth’s April poll came
about two weeks before Biden officially
entered the race.

Sanders and O’Rourke saw the larg-

est drops in favorability ratings. Opi-

nion of Sanders stands at 58% favorable

and 33% unfavorable, which is a decline

from his 67%-26% rating four months

ago. O’Rourke now has a 43% favorable

and 24% unfavorable rating in Iowa,

compared with his 60%-13% rating in

April.

The most recent entrant in the race,

former hedge fund manager and envi-

ronmental activist Tom Steyer, had

3% support and a 34% favorable and

25% unfavorable rating. Steyer, who

has said he will spend $100 million of

his own fortune on the race, entered

the crowded field of Democratic con-

tenders in July.

“A strong field organization seems to

have given Warren a boost,” said Mon-

mouth pollster Patrick Murray. “On the

other hand, the fact that six in 10 Demo-

crats are able to offer an opinion of

Steyer shows that an unlimited adver-

tising budget can come in handy, too.”

Likely Democratic caucusgoers have

a dour outlook about much of the field’s

chances against President Donald

Trump in November 2020, according to

the poll.

Nearly two-thirds said that most of

the candidates could not beat Trump;

30% say that only one or two of the

Democratic candidates have the ability

to beat him, while 35% said more than

two but less than half are up to the

challenge. Seventeen percent say that

about half the current field could beat

Trump, and 15% say that most or all of

the 24 candidates could handle the in-

cumbent.

%e search is over for those seeking a

safe, natural way to relieve moderate to

severe muscle and joint pain.

%is week, thanks to landmark leg-

islation passed by Congress, which

makes pain-killing hemp legal in all

50 states, all Americans now have

equal, unfettered access to what may

be the strongest, legal pain-killer

available today.

Rx-Quality, Powerful

Healing Labs of Los Angeles has

announced the release of the first

pharmaceutical-quality, cold-pressed,

whole plant extract derived from high-

grade, organic, non-GMO hemp.

%e golden oil, which has a slight

minty taste, is placed by dropper

under the tongue, held there for 60

seconds, and then swallowed.

Helps Swollen Joints, Muscle

Spasms & Nerve Pain

Used daily, full-spectrum hemp

oil can help erase pain and swelling

in joints throughout the body.

“On day three,” writes one user, “I

am quite surprised and hopeful that

what I feel in my legs is real and that

it will last. %e pain, tightness, and

swelling I’ve had for years has just

gone away. Unbelievable!”

Nature’s Best Pain-Killing

Compound

“It’s the Cadillac of hemp-based

pain medicine,” says Keith McPher-

son, a consultant to the indus-

try.

A recent review reveals 35 con-

trolled studies involving more than

2,000 subjects, investigating hemp’s

pain-relieving powers.

Doctors Give It a Thumbs-Up

Medical organizations like the

Hiding in Plain Sight: A Vast

Natural Medicine Network

He was shocked to discover the

EndoCannabinoid System (ECS), a

vast, body-wide network of trillions

of cannabinoid receptors, heavily con-

centrated in the brain, in every organ,

gland, tendon, even your cartilage.

It runs down the length of the

spine, through your entire nervous

system, to the tips of your fingers

and toes.

When cannabinoids, whether pro-

duced by the body or from hemp,

connect with their receptors, mar-

velous things begin to happen.

Feel Stronger, Happier, Pain-Free!

Users report feeling calmer, more

at ease, blood pressure normalizes,

pain subsides, sleep, digestion, and

circulation improves, immune powers

strengthen, and people, in general, feel

happier and more content.

Cannabinoids like those in Heal-

ing Labs’ full-spectrum hemp oil

have even been found effective in

reducing anxiety from public speak-

ing!

Feel Your Joint Pain Disappear

%ere’s one thing that hemp does

better than anything else, and that’s

relieve the pain, swelling, and aching

she felt. “I became more upbeat and,

I hate to say it, I feel more perky

now. But don’t tell my friends. I’ll

never hear the end of it,” she laughs.

What’s Best: CBD Oil or... Whole

Plant, Hemp Oil?

%ere is a lot of confusion about

what’s best: a CBD oil that contains

one or two cannabinoids (there are

hundreds of products like this), or a

whole plant, full-spectrum hemp oil

like that from Healing Labs, which

contains ALL of the cannabinoids

found in hemp.

“Companies that cherry-pick one or

two cannabinoids are missingtheboat,”

saysMcPherson. “Studies show

that they just don’t work as well.”

Preclinical data shows that multi-

ple cannabinoids are far more effec-

tive at reducing pain than a single

cannabinoid.

%is is called the‘entourage effect.’

The ‘Entourage’ Effect

University of Milan investigators

foundthatsinglecannabinoidsproduce

limited relief compared to full-spec-

trum, whole plant extracts, which are

brimming with multiple cannabinoids,

terpenes, and flavoniods.

“%e only way to be sure that you’re

getting exactly what you need is to

use an organic, pharmaceutical-qual-

ity whole plant extract that offers the

full-spectrum of hemp’s healing com-

pounds,” adds McPherson.

Healing Lab’s Hemp Oil Extract

contains pure, whole plant, pharma-

ceutical-quality hemp oil extract, the

same remarkable substance used in

research studies worldwide.

It’s the only source of organic,

alcohol-free, pesticide-free, non-

GMO, hemp oil on the market today.

Joint Pain Su!erers Kick Up Their Heels with

Maximum-Strength Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil

from sore joints and muscles.

In fact, the cannabinoids found in

full-spectrum, whole plant hemp oil

work so well for pain that scientists

are considering it as a new class of

drugs for chronic pain.

Starts Working in Minutes

Cannabinoids attack pain quick-

ly, relieving swollen, sore joints by

stabilizing distraught nerve cells to

prevent excessive firing, ‘calming’

injured tissues, and dampening the

release of chemicals that cause swell-

ing.

Susan K. injured her wrist play-

ing volleyball at the beach. “It got to

where I couldn’t shi!gears in my car

without pain. In two days a!er using

hemp oil, the pain disappeared. It

hasn’t come back either,” she smiled.

Back Pain Melts Away

Retired school teacher, Barba-

ra M., age 61, began using high-

strength hemp oil for back pain. She

also received a pleasant surprise.

“A!er a couple ofdays,I noticed that

my back pain was melting away. I no

longer had stiffness and pain from sit-

ting too long.”

Ear-to-Ear Smile You’ll Feel So

Good

She also noticed a change in how

World Health Organization and the

American Academy of Family Physi-

cians support access to hemp and its

therapeutic, health-improving ingre-

dients.

Unlike its sister plant, marijuana,

which contains THC, the pesky ingre-

dient that makes you high, the hemp

plant does not contain THC and will

not make users feel high.

Government Hypocrisy?

%e federal government deems

marijuana to be a deadly Schedule

1 drug, on par with heroin, but in

October, 2003, the US government

secretly patented hemp’s therapeutic

ingredients (USPO #6,630,507) for

its anti-epileptic, neuroprotective, in-

tra-ocular eye pressure-lowering ben-

efits, and other aspects.

The hemp revolution began 28

years ago with an accidental dis-

covery.

A Puzzling Mystery

In 1992, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam,

a professor of medicinal chemistry,

stumbled on an unknown protein

molecule in the body.

He knew it was aligand, a unique

chemicalthatfitsinsideaspecificrecep-

tor —like a key in its own lock— but

he had no idea what the molecule did

or where to look for its elusive receptor.

Then, It Dawned on Him

He realized that he had seen this

chemical before. He was sure that it

was a plant chemical; manufactured by

certain plants, especially the cannabis

and hemp plant, which produced the

compound in copious amounts.

He was shocked to learn that this

chemical, which is made in the body,

was actually acannabinoid,one of

nearly 100 pharmacologically active,

therapeutic compounds also pro-

duced in the hemp plant!

Why was the body making its own

cannabinoids, wondered the doctor.

Dr. Mechoulam went on to dis-

cover other cannabinoids produced

in the body.

He also found the elusive, ‘mis- sing’

receptors, too, but he wasn’t prepared

for what he discovered.

Advanced, cold-pressed extraction of pharmacologically active oil

from select, organic hemp plants alleviates muscle and joint pain, while

promoting restful sleep, and a sense of happiness.

Congress legalizes hemp giving citizens

equal access to powerful, safe, prescrip-

tion-free pain relief.
