Charlotte's Web

It pays to listen carefully. I was recently shocked when I watched a special on Dateline NBC. It documented the fight that a number of families in the state of Virginia had with the legislature. These families had children who experienced intractable epileptic seizures, sometimes 100 per day. The children, who took hundreds of drugs at incredible expenses to the family, were not helped by the medication. Then they learned about an extract from agricultural hemp, not pot, not weed, not marijuana, not psychoactive. It’s called CBD oil and the brand name is Charlotte’s Web. In several cases, these tragic children were given oral doses of Charlotte’s Web and the seizures were either totally or very significantly ameliorated. The fact that the state of Virginia had to be begged to legalize this non-psychotropic drug is an outrage. I was moved by the Dateline NBC program.

 

Here’s where the “it pays to listen” comes in. About one month ago, I did an interview with a guy by the name of Chris Boucher who is an expert on agricultural hemp. Listen to a piece of the interview. “What we discovered is that this CBD is a huge, high-value dietary supplement or medicine. A good example of this was a CNN special where a little girl, about six years old, was having 100 seizures per week and they gave her some agricultural hemp CBD oil and it reduced her seizures from 100 per week to maybe one.”
