CBD Oils?
Fri, 04/18/2014 - 14:27Topic: Medication Issues
I am curious if anyone has tried the new CBD oil to control their epilepsy. I have read many great things about it really controlling seizures and maybe trying it myself. I have been on about 9 different medications now and am going back on Monday for another one. If this round of medications doesn't work I am really thinking about the CBD oil. Does anyone have experience with this? Or know someone who does?

There are a lot of people

There are a lot of people turning to CBD oils right now, largely, because of the amazing results spreading via the interweb. It is difficult, as I found myself, to know what to order and who to order from online. If you order from a government approved or a medical marijuana website, everything is too expensive, and if you order from another website that seems like the prices are slashed in half, you wonder if you're getting a real product or not.I came across I CBD oil distributor (Green HoriZen,) at a farmers market a few months ago, and not only realized it was 100% legal to obtain CBD oil for your personal & medicinal needs in all 50 states but I decided to try it for my son who does not have epilepsy but does have ADHD, ODD, and the moodiness that accompanies these things.Within a few minutes my son's Behavior changed dramatically (for the better!) Within the last few months, he is a different person, and together we are learning the benefits of this oil for more than just mood swings & pain. The benefits of CBD oil go far beyond helping with epilepsy though I know that's what you want it for primarily. This oil can benefit your life in multiple ways.So I have done a lot of research and in trying to help my friends with kids with epilepsy have come across so many wonderful testimonies of this oil and particular helping children with epilepsy.I wanted to share this testimony of one particular child with you.https://m.facebook.com/groups/1445383962151345?view=permalink&id=1474993572523717I hope this helps. If anybody is interested in ordering CBD oil that has had nothing but good reviews, and amazing prices, please let me know. I wish you all the best. BrookeMackintosh@gmail.com

your story sounds a lot like mine I am sorry your going through these difficult times. I am going in the hospital on Monday for 5 days for a Video EEG. I have had so many horrible side effects or allergic reactions to many seizure meds. They have increased my Keppra and Phenobarbital I cant handle theses meds anymore and I am still have way too many seizures. Two Neurologist suggested I try the CBD oil instead of the meds. No one wants to increase my meds anymore. Happy about that I hope I can get off these meds soon and head straight for the oil when I get out of the hospital I have heard many many good things about it's use for seizures. I wish you well and God bless you. I live in CA so it's very easy to get here what kind of seizures are you having ?
