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 cause seizures in the hundreds or thousands every week, and they also have a variety of developmental consequences. It is a daunting task for parents of children with these conditions. Due to Dravet’s complex nature, traditional pharmaceuticals often fail to treat the condition and make it worse. Families have turned to high-CBD cannabis oils for relief. It is working with amazing efficacy.

To clarify, high-CBD cannabis oil is non-psychoactive and apparently even more beneficial than high-THC cannabis oil. 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. Such oil contains large amounts of concentrated cannabinoids that can be orally ingested rather than smoked, preserving the medicinal compounds and allowing them to be delivered through digestive system, rather than the respiratory system.

Research suggests CBD may have panacea-like qualities. This is what the practice shows. 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. She now has less than three minor seizures a month. This is an extraordinary case and not something that’s common. Dr. Margaret Gedde from Colorado Springs is keeping track of 11 new patients at Stanely brothers’ high-CBD medication. 9 of them experienced seizures reductions of 90-100%. Again, this is amazing.

CBD is being shown to be effective against epileptic seizures. It is extremely difficult for pharmaceuticals to produce any healing. High-CBD cannabis is able to immediately reduce symptoms. It also has systemic benefits, such as increased energy, better learning, and improved behavior.

It is not surprising that these results have been documented for many years. Similar to how cannabinoids have been shown to be therapeutically effective against epilepsy there are also studies that suggest they can control cancers. The results for epilepsy, and other conditions, are being translated to the human body. 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 as serious as it gets, and more attention must be brought to this issue.
