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 lead to seizures that range from hundreds to thousands per week. They also impact development in a variety other ways. These conditions can be very difficult for children and their families. Due to Dravet’s complex nature, traditional pharmaceuticals often fail to treat the condition and make it worse. Families turned to high CBD cannabis oil to find relief.
High-CBD cannabis oils are non-psychoactive, and may be even more beneficial than high THC cannabis oils. Cannabidiol is another cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, like the more well-known psychoactive cannabinoid THC, with significant research suggesting neuroprotectant, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-ischemic, antispasmodic, antipsychotic, and antibacterial properties, among others. Furthermore, cannabis oil is a type of extract from cannabis. The oil contains high levels of concentrated cannabinoids, which can be taken orally.
CBD appears to possess panacea-like abilities, as evidenced by research. Sanjay Gupta aired a CNN documentary in August 2013 about Charlotte Figi. Charlotte was a Dravet Syndrome patient in her twenties who suffered 300 grand mal seizures per day. There were no dietary changes or medications that could reduce the number of grand mal seizures. Charlotte’s seizures stopped immediately after Charlotte was introduced to high-CBD marijuana oil by her parents. Charlotte has now had a total of three minor seizures per week. This case is extraordinary and not uncommon. Dr. Margaret Gedde of Colorado Springs is monitoring 11 new clients of the Stanely Brothers, who provide Charlotte’s high CBD medicine. 9 of them have had seizures reduced by between 90-100%. This is another miracle.
CBD is being shown to be effective against epileptic seizures. It is extremely difficult for pharmaceuticals to produce any healing. High-CBD cannabis oils can be used to reduce epileptic symptoms.
These results have been reported for many years. As research has shown cannabinoids to be effective in controlling epilepsy, so too is the evidence of their ability to control other serious diseases and eradicate cancers. And in practice, for epilepsy and these other conditions, the results are translating to humans. Over the years, people have managed to eliminate cancers and treat other diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia or heart disease. This is a serious matter that requires more attention.
