Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of disrupted electrical activity in the brain leading to seizures, catastrophically impacting the lives of those who suffer. 70% of people can manage seizures with medication, but 30% do not gain full seizure control. Medications dull the person and compliance with them is difficult. Surgery has been used for decades, but outcomes are poor. Deep brain or vagal nerve stimulation often do not work and hope for relief seems futile. Causes may be hypoglycemia, sepsis, tumors in the brain, genetics.

How Cannabis Can Help

More than 40 clinical experiments have rigorously investigated the effectiveness of cannabis Chemotype III – Full Spectrum CBD (low THC) based therapeutics in treating epilepsy. These studies consistently indicate the potential for therapeutic benefits.  High-quality randomized controlled trials have provided evidence that the use of CBD in particular greatly reduces the frequency, severity, and duration of seizures in affected children. CBD, the pioneering compound, belongs to a novel class of antiepileptic drugs and has received FDA approval for marketing as Epidiolex.

Phytocannabinoids from the plant balance the neurochemistry in the brain with the ability to stabilize glutamate toxicity at CB1. CBD is neuroprotective, calms inflammation, and modulates many other receptor targets. Minor cannabinoids are being researched as is the ability for CBD & THC to cross the blood brain barrier, key to future therapeutics.
