High-Cannabidiol cannabis extracts can be used to treat epilepsy and other diseases

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 hundreds to thousands of seizures a week, while also impairing development in a number of other ways. For families with children suffering from such conditions, the challenges are overwhelming. Traditional pharmaceuticals can be ineffective due to Dravet syndrome and other related disorders. They often make the problem worse. Families have turned to high-CBD cannabis oils for relief. It is working with amazing efficacy.

High-CBD cannabis oils are non-psychoactive, and may be even more beneficial than high THC cannabis oils. Cannabidiol (another cannabinoid from cannabis) is another. This cannabinoid, along with the psychoactive THC, has received significant research that suggests neuroprotective, anticancer, anti-ischemic and antispasmodic, as well as antipsychotic and antibacterial properties. Furthermore, cannabis oil is a type of extract 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.

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 disorder patient. She suffered from 300 grand mal seizures each week. There were no dietary changes or medications that could reduce the number of grand mal seizures. Charlotte's parents learned about high-CBD cannabis oil, and after literally the first dose, Charlotte's seizures stopped. She has now experienced a minimum of three minor seizures per calendar month. This case is remarkable and not unusual. 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. 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 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. Just like research shows cannabinoids are therapeutically effective against epilepsy, there is research suggesting they can eliminate cancers and control 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 a serious matter that requires more attention.
