Helen Devos Children’s Hospital is in the final stages of approval to start testing cannabidiol oil in children who suffer from neurological disorders like epilepsy, 24 Hour News 8 has learned.

 

Probably delayed because oil is considered illegal until December.

I am aware of the date of this article & the current date . Fact is , it's the first time it's come across my screen and I don't think it was previously posted on this site .

 

What I was unaware of is that you already seem to have heard about it .

humm, i only see two on clinicaltrials.gov for cbd and michigan

 

one is in royal oak, for child spasms

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02551731

 

the other is just more abuse study.

so uh, what i'm saying is, reading between the lines of the article, it just looks like the "epilepsy foundation" was drumming up fundraising advertising.

 

i dont see any actual trials going on.

sniffing around the internet i see this

We have been seeing a pediatric neurologist in Grand Rapids at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. The Neuro we see there is not on board with CBD oil. We went to see Dr. Harry Chugani at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, in Detroit. He had a few ideas for medication changes and also said that he would recommend CBD before we tried any surgeries. But, he is leaving that hospital in November for a hospital in Delaware.

so yeah.

One Friday each month, Matthew visits Spectrum Health Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids to receive treatment through an IV. For about nine hours, he receives intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), which contains antibodies, according to the Mayo Clinic.

 

wtf? seriously WTF? IVIG for epilepsy? are you insane?

its like the dark ages out there in medicine world. research your bunny muffin, people. hospitals will try anything to get your $$$$$$$$

 

except of course, hospitals will not try a non toxic easily grown cannabis plant that has clinical studies to prove it works for helping epilepsy.
