SEIZURES:
We talk about 5 year old Charlotte Figi who went from 300 seizures a week to not having one after the first seven days of treatment. It was the story that really helped change the laws for Medical Marijuana and really shined a light on CBD oil in particular. It was the Stanley Brothers in Colorado that developed the strain called Charlottes Web which is a non psychoactive oil that contains less than 0.3% THC.
RESEARCH:
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham did a study on CBD Oil treating seizures and found that in a study of 51 subjects 50% responded to the CBD oil therapy with overall sustained improvement in seizure control over a six month period.
