Dr. Rachel Knox

Dr. Rachel Knox walked onto the stage at the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon with two important distinctions. She was the first speaker for this 9th year of TEDx Portland and…she had a secret.

It isn’t a secret that would grab anyone’s attention from the front page of a scandal rag, but it was something juicy enough that Big Pharma would have liked to apply a bit of duct tape.

Dr. Knox and her family of research physicians have been investigating the 6th, long neglected system in the human body. Unlike the Circulatory, Pulmonary, Skeletal, Muscular, and Nervous systems, knowledge of the Endocannabinoid System has been buried for generations, hidden away in dusty medical case histories stored deep in university libraries and gradually lost to memory as physicians and those skilled in naturopathic remedies and their patients eventually encountered death and took their wisdom with them. So diligently had information about the Endocannabinoid System been erased that this essential system appeared no where in Rachel’s medical textbooks.
