Finding the right course of treatment for epilepsy becomes an overwhelming task for those that must endure this terrible disease, and for those that support the people suffering from this malady. There are multiple types of epilepsy, but the most noted is the one that produces the most extreme visible effects which is the grand mal seizure. However, there are many types of epilepsy, and many do not present such a notable symptom, but are just as possible deadly as those more physical types of epilepsy. However, it is the acquisition of an appropriate treatment that confounds most people that have to deal with this disease, and this is especially true for caregivers, family and the patient themselves. Death from this issue is rare, but every time someone with epilepsy has an episode, this a possibility.

 

Helpless

 

So, imagine what those that suffers through dozens of seizures a day feels, or even those that have periodic events? The need for a cure should encompass all possibilities, pharmacological and otherwise, but this is not the case, and politics plays a large part in which treatments are made available to patients. This means that there are some very dangerous drugs that have passed all relevant tests even though they are dangerous to patients, and there are some treatments that are very effective that have not even been tested at all. Additionally, the deadly drugs are completely legal, but the safe drugs are not, and this is the case with the very effective and safe epilepsy treatment which is the administering of CBD in some form, but especially in oil form or as cbd capsules.

 

Origins

 

This is a derivative of marijuana and more specifically, the hemp plant. Some critics claim that getting a child high does not solve problems, but CBD does not produce the psychoactive side effects of THC. THC is the component in marijuana that gives people that use it that high feeling, but strains that produce CBD are naturally very low in THC if any exists in these strains at all. Therefore, people that utilize this life saving oil are not experiencing the negative or positive effects of the psychoactive component of marijuana, but the corrective effects of the non psychoactive CBD. However, the laws in states are changing, and this means that federal law will eventually have to follow.

However, many may ask if all of the controversy surrounding its use is warranted, but the evidence suggests that this is so effective at treating epilepsy that it cannot be ignored. Many patients report a cessation of their most worrisome symptoms. Furthermore, some have even reported that their epilepsy has been cured altogether, but because it is still against federal law, no relevant studies have been performed to determine why this particular element is so helpful in the treatment of epilepsy.
