I've learned a lot about this the last few days. I've only seen the downside of it. It's been an education
And you mate. If you need any advice or a chat to help you through your treatment you can always PM me All the best. Stick in there mate.
I can't take certain things due to the meds I'm currently on. Mainly levetiracetum for epilepsy. Will this stuff **** with that?
No it does not have any issues when combined with pharmaceuticals. That's the beauty of it. It's quality for epilepsy is incredible. Read up about Charlottes Web. Some great YouTube stuff on it.
Charlotte was a 5 year old that had 300 seizures a week (4 an hour) and was catatonic. Her parents had tried every drug on the market but with no joy, they made her worse if anything. Last resort her family found some growers in Colorado that bred out the THC in weed and bred in CBD. They met the girl and decided to give her some of their CBD. She now has a maximum 1 seizure a week and is on NO other meds. Incredible.
Now the strain is known as 'Charlottes Web' and over 50 children in America take it for epilepsy and seizures. EVERY single case has had massively positive results. It's better than any anti seizure drug that is man made.
That sounds great. My seizures are tonic clonic which means I always pass out. The drugs are basically controlling it but I do still have the odd one. I've never been as bad as the case you mention mind. I've had about 12 altogether. I'd rather go without another one. It's not a pleasant experience.
Mate watch some video's on YouTube. You might have just found a perfect solution. It just takes a while to get the right dosage for you. For me it's the future of medicine, once the government ****s off and realises they've made a massive mistake.
It sure is. That's the tip of the Iceberg too. The bottom line is your body produces natural cannabanoids and they regulate every single system in your body. If your body doesn't produce enough you're ill (a number of different illnesses from physical to mental). By giving your body the cannabanoids that it's not naturally getting you're technically restoring your body to a natural balance. One of the biggest areas of Science right now since it's been given legal status. The research in Israel is even finding that it can help the body kill cancer cells. It's truly astounding, the more you look into it the more incredible this stuff actually is.
BTW anyone that can't be arsed to vape etc. The CBD oil available in Holland and Barrett you just put under your tongue. Imported from Holland by very experienced hemp growers. It is this exact product http://www.dutch-headshop.com/en/cbd-oil-jacob-hooy-275-245mg-10ml-p-1271.html
Wrong mate, it has a direct effect on the Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System within your liver meaning it will effect virtually every single medication which is processed by the liver. It can speed up or slow down the effectiveness of other prescription drugs. You've got to be very careful with other medication. @Billy the Bastard , let your doctor know your plans and be prepared to make a few appointments to tweak your meds around it. Especially if you're planning on reducing your epilepsy medication.
Did you know that in depression, THC and CBD targets the same cannabanoid receptors that Prosac(fluoxetine) target, only Prosac is a synthetic drug with horrific side effects which often make people want to kill themselves. So called Mental Health experts will claim on the no research they've done that weed worsens depression when it's quite the opposite, but the prescriptions they write out are worse and lead to 1000s of suicides every year. Over in the US they throw that **** at PTSD suffers and they have massive problems with Prosac, suicide and ex service men.
First I've heard. Your body produces it naturally so I don't see how this can be right? The research papers I've read have said it does not have any combination issues with any pharmaceuticals. The research is very diverse so maybe I need to keep reading. Plus GP's over here are clueless about it, and will happily keep chucking expensive pills down your throat.
