Allyssa Sanderson says the sparks have returned to her son’s eyes, and everyone in his life has noticed.
“He understands things which he didn’t understand before … Before cannabis, he was just like this shell and his eyes were glossy. He was there, but it always seemed like he was in seizure activity. He was doing something to stimulate himself, he was chewing on his hands, he wasn’t looking at people in the eyes. And now he is focused, he is engaged, he’s actually making connections with kids that he goes to school and daycares with,” she said.
That something was a study, led by Huntsman and involving fellow U of S researcher Dr. Robert Laprairie. It found that in the seven trial patients who completed the study in Saskatoon, the daily use of a cannabis herbal extract — 95 per cent CBD oil to five per cent THC — reduced the frequency of their seizures. The findings were published July 3 in the Frontiers in Neurology medical journal.
Laprairie said all of the evidence shows that it’s really the cannabidiol that is the “primary driver” of the anti-seizure effect.
