Client Spotlight: Ciara

Miss Ciara has had seizure’s since birth, she has a CP diagnosis, a seizure disorder, microcepholoptomy and recently was re-diagnosed with LGS – Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome… we have faced challenges since the beginning and given no hope or encouragement of healing they just painted a glim picture… But I told them her life will be what we make of it & I am doing my best to give her the best life she can have with the challenges we face. When I heard about the Marijuana – CBD- Hemp Oils helping with seizures, I was excited and filled with hope, especially after reading testimony after testimony of it working for all these kids just like my Ciara… Since the first dose, the first day I have been seeing a huge reduction of seizures, like almost obsolete! Seen an increase in her keeping her eyes open, seeing her happier and laughing. Seeing her kick her legs with excitement. It is a true God given gift what God has given us in this plant. It’s time to debunk the myths, time to end the prohibition on Marijuana…. for my Ciara, and for all those like her & others facing/dealing with other situations in their lives. I am thankful for this CW Everyday Advanced, it is the miracle we have been waiting a lifetime for.

Client Spotlight: Patricia

At the urging of my oldest daughter, I purchased Charlotte’s Web 1 oz, 200mg bottle of hemp oil. When I was 28 (1988), I came down with CFIDS/Fibromyalgia. The first 7 years I was bedridden. I slowly improved, but I’ve never enjoyed good health since then. I stopped driving about 5-6 years ago due to severe brain fog. Bodily pain varies; what afflicted me most has been frequent migraines, severe fatigue, a definite feeling of malaise, light and sound sensitivity (so bad I had to quit going to church and other functions); the list goes on and on. Due to some swelling, I couldn’t walk from the pain for over 2 years. On ‘good days’ I’d try to go for nightly walks but usually had to turn back after just walking past 3 or 4 houses. It wasn’t fun; living in the dark and trying to find fulfillment doing basically nothing. I started taking the hemp oil six days ago: half a dropper full twice daily. I cannot even begin to tell you the improvement I’ve seen in that short time!! I feel mentally alert again. I no longer have that deathly morbid fatigue. My mood is …dare I say it… almost happy! Things that I had to force myself to do I now do naturally and without thought. And best of all….I have taken 1 mile walks every day since taking it with absolutely no problem!!!!! Smiling, no pain, no fatigue, for the first time in many years!! No way could any placebo effect cause this. I have tried so many things with sometimes disastrous results, and to tell the truth, had resigned myself to a lifetime of misery…It is awesome feeling like my old self after over 28 years.

Client Spotlight: Hyrum

Hyrum used to have 15 or more seizures a day. Doctors tried more than 10 pharmaceuticals to try to get them to stop. Sometimes he was on up to 6 meds at a time, that made little difference to his seizure control. We were at a dead end. We just had to live with watching him seize multiple times a day, every day.

In October 2014, Hyrum had so many back to back seizures that he had to be placed in an induced coma to give his brain some rest before it just completely shut down. He was in the hospital for 3 months.

That’s when Hyrum’s mom decided enough was enough. She consulted with Hyrum’s neurologist and he helped her with information and dosing of CBD oil.

Today, Hyrum has only had 2 seizures in 3 years. He has been weened off most of his pharmaceutical drugs and he has come a long way from being so lethargic from the combination of medicines and uncontrollable seizures that he couldn’t hold his head on his own or stay awake for more than 2 hours at a time. Today Hyrum rarely takes naps and is happy, attentive, and very socially interactive. He is learning how to use a communication tablet and enjoys going to school.

Client Spotlight: Jeremy

I have been diagnosed with PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), PTSD, high blood pressure, Diabetes Type 2, and high LDL and Triglycerides. I have lived with migraines and severe dizziness 24/7 since 2011 and have suffered from the migraines as long as 2005. I was prescribed twelve different antidepressants and antipsychotics and they all made me extremely suicidal and depressed. I was out of ideas and was ready to call it quits.
My doctor, neurologist, and two psychiatrists recommended I check out CBD oil for help. I started doing research and about 2 months went by before I tried contacting Realm of Caring. They were very friendly and helpful through the entire process of me asking questions, etc. After about 2 months on Charlotte’s Web Everyday Advanced CBD Oil, I began to realize that my horrible thoughts were going away. I have been on CBD since July of this year and can now laugh again and have almost zero thoughts of suicide anymore. For someone who lived with the thoughts every single day of his life since he was very little, this is a wonderful change. My blood pressure checks out perfect every time I visit the doctor now. My blood sugars are easier to control.
The only things left that I struggle with the high LDL/Triglycerides and the dizziness, which is extremely bad, but that’s MUCH better than where I was just a few months ago. It’s been worth it to me and my family and friends. I’m so glad that I decided to give this a try!

Client Spotlight: Chris

I tried several brands of oils and now I buy Elixinol only because of consistent quality. I had issues from one bottle to the next from competitors and Elixinol has been consistent and excellent for my usage.

I first bought the oil to combat stress, as drugs have failed me or worsened my condition. Anxiety feels physically painful at the extreme; I now lead a much calmer, peaceful existence with absolutely no mood impairment or cover up. Elixinol works nearly instantly when administrated under my tongue.

Here’s a list of results thus far:

  • At 63, I wear stronger glasses each year. I have been using Elixinol maybe 3 months, now on 3600 strength. When I spoke with a doctor on the phone, he asked about eyesight which is driving me nuts. He suggested I get last year’s glasses. I am now using a prescription from April 2014.
  • I have some rosacea on my very fair skin, topical application has reduced size and redness, continuing use. I also have shingles on lower back, and the pain is gone, the length of breakout is reduced by about half and the blistering was gone within hours!
  • As to anxiety? I have woken up nightly and in the A.M. for about 5 years with painful heart pounding, gasping for breath in terror seemingly for little reason. I been able to discontinue a prescription medication- 1 down, 2 now gradually decreasing strength. Depression has lifted. I wake up fine, and am returning to a noticeably happier person; my entire family has noticed.
  • Just yesterday I ate too much sugar (danged holidays), last night the acid was burning (pretty agonizing feeling) my throat, and I have no problems with that in my normal diet. About 1/2 dropper-full of 3600 and it was gone. I’m a tad tired from sugar poisoning but no lasting gastrointestinal effects. Although I’m fairly careful, I once did take prescription drugs for this- genetically this acid reflux caused gastro/esophageal cancer in my father and grandfather. I am fortunate that my diet has helped as long as I follow it – but it was Elixinol that settled it last night, nothing else has EVER done it- prescription or over the counter.

Raise the Realm Day 10: Addy- Brain Malformation

Before Cannabis: Addelyn was born with a significant brain malformation that causes her to have seizures that are very difficult to control. When Addy’s seizures started at 5 months of age, we fought them with an army of traditional antiepileptic medications legally prescribed by her epileptologist. It was then we learned the dangers of these medications. Overly medicated, Addelyn basically stopped living. She slept 22 out of 24 hours each day, suffered significant developmental regression, and stopped interacting with the world around her, including her loved ones. We carried her body through life with us for months and were provided with palliative care counseling for families with a terminally ill child.

After Cannabis:
Within five minutes of Addelyn’s first dose of a high-CBD oil, she smiled. At that point, there was no doubt that this treatment option would make a positive difference in her life. Over the next year, we slowly added more cannabis to her treatment regimen and reduced the standard pharmaceutical drugs that were holding her hostage. Slowly, we got more Addy back and maintained reasonable seizure control. Addy is not “all better”, but is SO much better than she was. Today, she smiles, laughs, hugs her brother, and is even eating by mouth once again- all skills robbed from her by the traditional prescription medications she was prescribed. Her development continues to amaze us. Last week, Addy said, “Momma” for the first time and she is learning to use an augmentative communication device. She even attends preschool with her typical peers. Our family is SO thankful to have found a safe and effective therapy that has given Addy a quality of life that is worth living again.

Raise the Realm Day 9: Mary- Pain

Hi! This is Mary, and Its been almost two years since I participated in Evolve the storytelling project presented by Realm of Caring Foundation, and I wanted to update everyone on how well I’m still doing almost two years later! For starters I’ll be celebrating my 59th birthday in a couple of months, and I’m holding steady! Better then steady actually! I’m sure most of my doctors thought all my canna meds (CW, THCA & THC) was going to be a placebo effect. Still they couldn’t deny the decrease in pain, increased mental clarity, and my 58 pound weight loss since I started taking my canna meds in May of 2014. The biggest benefit for me was getting off all my prescriptions except for 2 1/2…thyroid, hormone and blood pressure being the half. I did have a setback when my doctor agreed to ween me off my Zoloft after 23 years of use because I was having breakthrough anxiety. That Was A Big Mistake to do that right after Thanksgiving and before the December holidays and to date the hardest thing I ever put myself through. What helped me through that rough spot was upping my canna meds and changing to 200mgs SAMe, (Zoloft replacement) meditation, therapy, a wonderful husband, friends and the RoC community! Keep the faith, and when they (the doctors, the specialist, the government) tell you there is nothing they can do but pump you full of pharmaceuticals call Realm of Caring! The caring of their patients, clients, the quality of the products they recommend, and the fact that they will have your back every step of the way! I say Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Here’s to a better quality-of-life!!!!!

Raise the Realm Day 8: Luke- Autism

Our little boy who we call Baby Luke, is 4.5 years old, and the apple of our eye. He was born what we believed to be a happy handsome little boy and as parents do we loved him unconditionally.

After a few months we noticed that there were issues in Baby Luke’s development, so we brought him to the doctors. Approximately 2 years later, baby Luke was diagnosed with Profound Non-Verbal Autism, massive sight issues and a vestibular condition. We were heartbroken as we knew too well what this meant in Ireland and the hardships both Luke (and us as his parents) would have to face to get schooling, OT, speech, and language etc.

Shortly after Luke’s diagnosis, we noticed a massive shift in Luke’s behavior, not eating, not sleeping, hurting himself and others, we could see his sensory issues explode in front of us driven by the severe anxiety of his surroundings.

We, at this point, have been surviving on 3 hours of sleep a night, at our complete wits end- the continual crying, the no sleep, the violent outbursts, the self-harming- our little boy was not there anymore; he had changed, he was lost in his own mind, his own condition trapping him to this behaviour.

So, we reached out to doctors, the prescriptions kept coming but nothing worked! So at the last point, we tried Charlottes Web Advanced Solution, starting at 0.2ml twice a day and adjusting the dosage along the way. In the first night, Baby Luke slept 9.5 hours! He was 24 hours away from being admitted to a hospital by our GP for refusing to eat in over 5 weeks and what did our boy do? He started to eat ! Yogurt, apples, bananas, fries, pasta, we couldn’t believe it. We cried and cried, as parents angry at ourselves for not trying this sooner, but then tears of joy that our boy would not require a feeding tube.

The results were and still are so amazing that we had to share our story with everyone who would listen. ASD parents have to see with the own eyes to believe what it does.

We started an awareness campaign called Life Being Blue on Facebook. I would recommend any parents in Europe that are on the fence to look at the daily videos look at what it has done for our son and family! Our little boy had gone from skin and bones and riddled with social and neurological disorders, to a child that is trying to communicate trying, to learn and nearly singing! Seeing is believing and Baby Luke’s Videos are there for everyone to see!

There is nothing to loose and much to gain!

Please share our page! Education on this is key people who live with severe ASD need to realize that CW is a possible solution to regain a standard of life. And this is key it’s about potentially gaining a standard of life.

Daddy Luke, Mommy Donna and Baby Luke

Raise the Realm Day 6: Leigh- Cancer

My name is Leigh. My first personal experience with cancer was in 1995 when my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer and given 6 months to live. Her name was Charlotte and she was a visionary. She lived for 6 years instead of 6 months and when I was first diagnosed in 2012 with Stage 1 breast cancer I remembered her words…”I wish I had never done that chemo or the radiation.”

I chose to have bilateral mastectomies after determining I was BRCA positive. I declined the pharmaceutical drugs that were offered to me and went on my own path to healing. That path has included exercise, healthy eating and juicing, keeping stress low, being grateful…my recipe changes along with the seasons.
In April of 2016, I began taking Charlotte’s Web for swelling in my right hand from overwork, not knowing the cancer was back. In late June, with the swelling completely gone in my hand, I scheduled a surgery to remove scar/fat tissue from the site of the previous cancer and it ended up being malignant. I upped the Charlotte’s Web to therapeutic doses along with high-dose THC in August and completed 60 grams of The Stanley Brothers’ THC Concentrate in 60 days after moving to Colorado in November. I have just gotten a clear PET scan. I am so grateful that the laws are changing and the research is finally beginning on cannabis. I know had the researchers been allowed to explore the medicinal benefits of this “weed” there would be more wellness on the planet….and my mother could still be alive. I am certain that CBD/THC are main components to my wellness and I am so grateful for the access I have to these medicines.
