In 2013, there was a surge in media coverage about medicinal cannabis. There were reports from CBS, ABC, CBS, CBS and local publications that high-cannabidiol marijuana oil could effectively control the symptoms of rare epileptic disorders like Doose and Dravet, as well as infantile spasms, cortical Dysplasia and Doose. These diseases can cause thousands to millions of seizures each week and may also hinder development in other ways. The challenges for families with children who suffer from these conditions are immense. Due to the complexity of Dravet or related syndromes, traditional medications are ineffective and often make matters worse. Families are turning to high-CBD cannabis oil as a last resort. It has shown remarkable efficacy and is providing hope for many families.
High-CBD cannabis extract is not psychoactive and appears to be more beneficial than high levels of THC. Cannabidiol is another cannabis cannabinoid. It’s similar to the well-known psychoactive THC. However, there has been significant research that supports its neuroprotective properties as well. Additionally, cannabis oil can be extracted from cannabis. Concentrated cannabinoids can be consumed orally rather than smoked. This preserves medicinal compounds and allows them more easily to reach the digestive system than the respiratory system.
CBD appears to have panacea-like effects, according to research. Sanjay Gupta aired a CNN documentary in August 2013 about Charlotte Figi. Charlotte was a Dravet syndrome young patient. She had 300 grand mal seizures per week. No pharmaceuticals or dietary changes could do anything to reduce this number. Charlotte’s seizures stopped when Charlotte’s parents first discovered high-CBD cannabis. Charlotte has now had a total of three minor seizures per week. This is a remarkable case, and it’s not an isolated one. Dr. Margaret Gedde, Colorado Springs physician is tracking 11 new Stanely brother patients, who are the providers of Charlotte’s high-CBD medicines. Nine patients have seen seizures drop by as much as 90%, which is just amazing.
CBD is effective against complex epileptic disorders. No other pharmaceuticals, even those with the best research, have been able to induce any healing. High-CBD cannabis oil can reduce symptoms immediately. The only side effects are systemic benefits such as more energy, better learning and improved behavior.
It is not surprising that these results have been documented for many years. Researchers have shown cannabinoids are effective in treating epilepsy. There is also evidence that they can help control and eliminate other serious diseases. The effects are starting to show in the real world for epilepsy. For years, people have been successfully eliminating cancers and treating diseases such as diabetes, Crohn’s, fibromyalgia and heart disease. This is an extremely serious issue and it needs more attention.
