There has been an increase in news coverage regarding medicinal cannabis oil in 2013. This includes reports from CNN, ABC, CBS, CBS, and local media about high-cannabidiol cannabis oils effectively controlling the symptoms rare epileptic conditions like Dravet and Doose, infantile spasms as well as cortical dysplasia and infantile spasms. These diseases can lead to seizures that range from hundreds to thousands per week. They also impact development in a variety other ways. For families with children suffering from such conditions, the challenges are overwhelming. Due to the extremely complex nature of Dravet and related syndromes, traditional pharmaceuticals are ineffective and often make the problems worse. Families have turned to high-CBD cannabis oils for relief. It is working with amazing efficacy.
To clarify, high CBD cannabis oil isn’t psychoactive and seems to be more beneficial that high-THC cannabis oils. 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. A type of extract made from cannabis is cannabis oil. 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.
According to research, CBD is believed to have panacea-like properties. In practice, however, this is not the case. Sanjay Gupta published a CNN documentary about Charlotte Figi on August 11, 2013. Charlotte is a Dravet patient, who had 300 grand mal seizures every week. This number is unaffected by any dietary or pharmaceutical changes. Charlotte’s seizures stopped when Charlotte’s parents first discovered high-CBD cannabis. Charlotte has now suffered a mere three seizures per month. This case is nothing short of miraculous, and it’s not isolated. Dr. Margaret Gedde is a Colorado Springs doctor who is following 11 new patients from the Stanely brothers. They are the ones responsible for Charlotte’s high-CBD medicine. 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.
This is not surprising considering that such results have been around for years. Researchers have shown cannabinoids are effective in treating epilepsy. There is also evidence that they can help control and eliminate other serious diseases. And in practice, for epilepsy and these other conditions, the results are translating to humans. 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.
