Fibromyalgia Patient Eases Pain, Finds Peace


I just read an article about Lady Gaga and how she's had to cancel a string of tour dates because of the pain of fibromyalgia.

Here's the article:

CBD Oil available in the UK

There's a company in the UK called CBD Brothers who make and sell CBD oil, and apparently they also sell the oil through Holland & Barrett.

Here's CBD Brothers' site:
cbdbrothers.com

Here's some comments from sufferers who have tried CBD Oil:
Easing My Pain with CBD Oil

Note: CBD Oil is not the same as oil made by the Rick Simpson formula. Rick Simpson's oil is made from hemp/cannabis/marijuana which has a high THC content. CBD oil has little or no THC and will not therefore get you stoned.

[We would know a lot more about the benefits of hemp - CBD and THC - if the people in charge of our countries spent less time thinking about their money and their wars and more time on peace and the things that could benefit us citizens!]

Mothers in the drugs lab – women in Peru treating their sick children with cannabis

A dental technician and mother of four, Ana Alvarez lives in a flat in Lima that she has converted into a cannabis laboratory. It is, she says, for the love of her son that she has become one of Peru’s leading advocates for liberalising drug laws in the conservative country.

Now 17, Anthony suffers from a rare and severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, as well as tuberous sclerosis, which causes tumours to grow on the brain and other organs.

“After three days of taking marijuana oil, Anthony started to reconnect with life, he began to socialise, he began to sleep, he began to eat, and little by little he started to recover,” she says. “The change after three days was something extraordinary and from that moment my fight began.”

Dorothy Santiago, a 29-year-old naval officer, was her co-conspirator. Santiago’s five-year-old son, Rodrigo, has the same clinical condition as Anthony.

“Rodrigo took cannabis oil and his seizures stopped for two days. He started to eat, he started to sleep. Because he never slept, we could not believe it!

“He began to connect with people. He had never been able to make visual contact with anyone except me,” she adds. “We know this is not a cure but it gives our children quality of life. We want it to be available to other children with the same condition.”
