Has anyone been following CBD Oil? I have read some amazing things about it and wondered how many people are aware of this. It is an oil found in Hemp plants, they separate it from the THC found in Pot and you do not in anyway get high but it is has amazing healing property's for many things. I saw a video, they used it to treat a little girl that had approx. 400 seizures a week and it stopped her seizures, they say that it should be legalized soon, actually the FDA put a squash on it, they were to legalize it in December 2014, it is legal in 26 country's they say it is the possible cure for Dementia and Alzheimer's and it will stop it dead in it's tracks. They are giving it to people with cancer and having great results. I wish I could post the video, I found it on Facebook but can't figure out how to post it to this site. Just the though of having something like this available brings tears to my eyes, My stepson has seizures about every 2 weeks, the last round was just terrible I had never seen them so bad and of course Mom suffers with Alzheimer's. If you have not read about it please start to research it, From everything I have read I can't wait to try it on Mom and Brandon. There is hope out there for all of us, so I hope when you read this it brightens your day.
As for the oil for dementia and Alzheimer's, I did a quick search on the Internet but all I found were pro-marijuana websites boosting about it. I will need to dig into the National Institute of Health's website to see what the pros have to say about it.
'Medical Marijuana' Pill Falls Short in Dementia Study, Researchers had hoped to ease anxiety, agitation and wandering
"WEDNESDAY, May 13, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- So-called medical marijuana pills may not ease the common behavioral symptoms that affect people with dementia, a small study suggests.
In a trial of 50 dementia patients, researchers found that pills containing the main active ingredient in marijuana were no better than placebo pills in easing agitation, aggression and wandering.
However, that doesn't mean the approach is a failure, the investigators report in the May 13 online edition of Neurology."
Will the child's seizures stop? Yes, but there will be a trade off in the form of memory impairment that affects learning. They will be about as functional as any pothead you know.
