Seizures

[EP3]

Hello ppl,
So, the only other person that knows I grow (apart from my Mrs) has had a brain operation and now suffers from seizures, sometimes multiple times per day. He was on epilepsy drugs but they dont seem to help and they have tried many different types also he is not a big pill fan.
He has started growing too now and I have said I would ask the community if you have any recommendations for him?
Thank you for helping.
Regards,
EP3

Can't say I know for sure but I'd think a good knockout indica might work out well.

Good homemade THC oil is supposed to work wonders for many Epilepsy sufferers, I wouldimagine Indica strains but just google it, you finds places that list beneficial traits of various strains.
Also I do believe that proper drying and curing are absolutely essential before using your plant material to make oil.

Maybe I should mention the strain I just grew, it's supposed to relatively high in cbd when cured properly and I do think it works very relaxing.
It was Northern Lights x Big Buds from Weedseedsexpress, easy to grow with good yield as well.

Wasn’t charlottes web specifically designed for seizures and epilepsy? Took a young girl from 300 gran mal’s a day to less than 40 a day. High CBD !

I do not know about people, but I'll tell you about my pup.


He used to have 3-5 seizures a month, mild, not huge ones, maybe 10 minutes long. Vet said, we can do these meds, should work good but he can never come off them or he will die. Like $60-80 a month for the pills.

Well another vet said, if you want we can try acupuncture and if it doesn't work can go on the pills. Pup goes 1 time a month, its like $80, takes 20 minutes.

Has maybe, 1 a year now, past 3 years.

I do not know if its the same for people, but damn, I think it worth a try.

Yeah, I think this is 100% spot on. Remember hearing about it a few years ago, was a big thing and helped kids get access to medical for things like that

Dogs can take cbd as well! All mammals have the THC/CBD receptors in their brain and works the same. Just dosage is different. I believe you have to go by weight of animal...

We have cbd for the pups. They don’t really like it tho and stop accepting the treats after a few times. Even if we switch dosing and treat type.

the acupuncture has been a life changer for the dog, significantly more energy as well
