Stories of CBD Success
Most of what you read online are research reports, generalized results, and outcomes based on averages — but you are not an average, your needs are not an average, and the unique combination of body and mind that is you is most definitely not an average. With that in mind let us share some of the unique success stories and experience of other CBD users.
Susanne was bone on bone in her right knee and was told a knee replacement was her only solution.
However, for a number of reasons, she could not take 6 weeks off from her life for the surgery. She began using CBD oil with great pain relief and increased mobility. She added supplements and rehab and began to show increased cartilage growth in her knee. She is now pain-free and has begun a rowing program!
Per was a college student who had anxiety issues that became severe around exam time.
Per was also having difficulty sleeping. After using and determining an effective dosage of CBD gummies, he found his anxiety was greatly reduced and exams no longer kept him up all night. CBD has been shown repeatedly to assist in overcoming sleeping difficulties and to have the potential to greatly reduce anxiety.
Anna was having digestive issues, issues that were quickly becoming a debilitating hindrance to her ability to work and to enjoy her life.
Anna’s have difficulty digesting her food, coupled with frequent indigestion and acid reflux. Chiropractic care decreased the frequency of her symptoms but adding CBD to her program helped resolve the issue. Now she can pretty much eat what she wants, and she has managed to almost eliminate her need for pharmaceutical support.
Charlotte Figi’s story is one of the most widely-known CBD stories and was of such significance in bringing CBD to the world. Charlotte was born in 2006 with Dravet syndrome — a rare form of epilepsy that caused her to suffer from grand mal seizures up to 300 times each week.
After trying everything conventional medicine had to offer, Charlotte’s parents began to consider cannabis — locating a high-CBD, low-THC strain that was later renamed as Charlotte’s Web. Almost immediately after taking the cannabis oil, Charlotte’s seizures reduced to only two or three per month and she became able to walk, talk, and eat without help. Tragically, on April 7, 2020, Charlotte tragically died at age 13 due to complications with a respiratory illness. But before she passed Charlotte’s story inspired a movement that was followed by the development of Epidiolex® — an FDA-approved CBD extract prescribed for rare and severe forms of epilepsy.
Rebecca Sewell’s story is one that is both moving and inspiring. In 1993, when Rebecca was 10, she participated in a magic trick in which a pair of handcuffs were placed on her ankle, leading to an injury known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
After months of therapy and years without pain, Rebecca suffered a lower extremity stress fracture and all the pain came back with a vengeance. Eventually, the pain became so debilitating that she was confined to a wheelchair and then to a hospital bed with a continuous morphine pump.
After eight years of constant pain, Rebecca started to experiment with CBD and found that it helped her relax. With further experimentation she was eventually able to have the morphine pump removed, stop taking most of her medications, and became an ambassador for CBD and policy change.
The last of our CBD success stories is that of Walter Rodlund — an active outdoorsman whose movement became severely limited when he developed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at age 81.
Walter was a keen outdoorsman, and after developing COPD, Walter had to cease all of his outdoor activities and suffered from intense pain in his lungs as well as regular bouts of bronchitis.
Later that year, Walter’s daughter gave him some CBD oil to try, and his breathing capacity improved within three weeks. His lung capacity increased from 92 to 98-100% and he was able to get around much easier than before.
Walter takes regular dosages of CBD oil and has gone from being shut inside his house to getting back to the outdoors he loves. He credits CBD for this amazing, life-changing recovery.
