"9 year old girl has been nearly seizure-free since she started taking cannabis oil"

Teagan Appleby, from Aylesham, Kent, was born with the rare chromosome disorder isodicentric chromosome 15 syndrome, which led to her being diagnosed with severe Lennox Gastaut Syndrome epilepsy when she was just four years old.
The youngster's condition became so bad she was unable to eat and even had to be put in a medically-induced coma after she had five seizures over eight days last summer.

After having one of the worst cases of epilepsy her doctors have ever seen, Teagan has only had seizures while asleep, and none while awake, since she started taking cannabis oil in July. 
Teagan's mother Emma Appleby, 35, claims she was forced to call for an ambulance at least once a week before her daughter started taking cannabis oil. 
Speaking before, Ms Appleby said: 'It just got really bad, very quickly. She seizures every day and she can seizure up to 300 times a day.
'She's lost all of her skills – she didn't have many because she's been delayed anyway.
'Before she had epilepsy she could run around in the garden and feed herself but now she is completely dependent on someone to look after her.

Why Hemp is The New Superfood...?

Hemp can play a leading role in your quest for the healthiest you! 

It is an outstanding and delicious source of protein with every essential fatty acid and amino acid you need for optimum nutrition.In addition, it is packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, fibre and more. 



According to Hemp Foods Australia, hemp contains almost as much protein as soya beans, however, due to its protein composition, it is far more digestible.
It’s extremely high in calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc and contains next to no carbohydrates. Hemp is also one of the only known foods to contain Vitamin D3, a vitamin normally obtained from the sun.

Hemp is currently used in the production of many different types of products such as textiles and building products, however, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has recently opened up applications to permit foods derived from hemp.

"Is Cannabis More Effective Than Aspirin? The Role of Flavonoids..."

In a previous article we have found evidence that CBD is more efective than Aspirin, h
owever, a recent study has shed new light into medical properties of cannabis most pertinently, the power of flavonoids.

There have been many studies which have looked into the analgesic properties of cannabis. 




It has even been suggested that the plant could help reduce a person’s reliance on opioids as a painkiller.

For a long time, the assumption has been that cannabinoids such as THC and CBD are responsible for the plant’s potential painkilling properties. 

When cannflavins A and B were first identified over three decades ago, it was already known that they provided anti-inflammatory effects up to 30 times greater than what is provided by Aspirin on a gram-by-gram basis.


What Are Flavonoids?

It is genuinely interesting that the flavonoids in marijuana could be responsible for much of its anti-inflammatory properties, yet we know relatively little about this diverse group of plant chemicals. In reality, you will find these phytonutrients in almost all fruits and vegetables. Along with carotenoids, flavonoids are responsible for the colors in the fruit and vegetables we eat.

"End Our Pain” campaign... 18 mothers plan to go on hunger strike for sons cannabis treatment"


Unbelievably, a Scottish mother and 17 other mothers in similar situations plan to go on a hunger strike in an effort to pressure the government into providing funding for the medicine their children need!

Murray Gray has a rare form of epilepsy called Doose syndrome that requires a treatment of Bedrolite and Bedrocan.


{Bedrolite is the brand name for the cultivar Cannabis sativa L. ‘Rensina’, is a so-called CBD-only product, with less than 1% THC and 9% CBD and has become the preferred choice of a number of patients with severe, intractable (untreatable) forms of epilepsy.
Bedrocan is the brand name for the cultivarCannabis sativa L. ‘Afina’ wich is the first cultivar developed and it features 22% THC, with a CBD-level below 1%. ... Guess what...both prodused by Bedrocan} 

Those drugs was prescribed by a Dutch doctor in March but at a cost of £1,200 a month, his mother, Karen Gray has had to rely on fund raising efforts such as a recent sponsored walk across the Forth Road Bridge and an upcoming Race Night planned for November

"The Use of Cannabis for Headache & Migraine"

Headache disorders are common, debilitating, and, in many cases, inadequately managed by existing treatments. Each year, 47% of the population experience headache, including migraine and some preclinical trials of cannabis for neuropathic pain have shown promising results, specifically for headache disorders. 


A sexual dimorphism exists for headache disorders, with women 2–3 times more likely to experience migraine and 1.25 times more likely to experience tension-type headache than men.

Historical reports, though not ideal forms of evidence, are important resources for understanding the potential use of cannabis in the treatment of headache disorders. Clinical publications between 1839 and 1937 provide valuable insights into the most effective practices, challenges, and benefits during an era when cannabis was commonly used to treat headache.

Currently, there is not enough evidence from well-designed clinical trials to support the use of cannabis for headache, but there are sufficient anecdotal and preliminary results...
