What does Realm of Caring mean to you?

Realm of Caring has given me and my family so much hope. They have given us so much support, help, love, and kindness. For all this our family is very grateful, we are very blessed, and thank God every day this company and these wonderful people have come to help all of us parents, caregivers, and families and given much-needed hope!!!!!

Tell us your story.

My name is Tracie, and I am mother and caregiver to our son, Alex, who has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to a motor vehicle accident in 1997 when he was age 4. He is now 26 and he is a wonderful, happy young man. He loves the outdoors, jeeping, and 4×4. We recently tried Charlotte’s Web CBD oil. I gave Alex his last dose on July 21st, 2018 because we wanted to see if it was working or if it was the seizure meds. We found when we stopped using it, his seizures came back. This time his seizures are harder and more frequent.

We now know this oil is a true blessing and one day soon we will wean off of some seizure meds. I am one happy momma. There are no words that can express how happy and excited we are. One day our goal with Alex is to visit the amazing farm and the young men responsible for getting our son back. Much love and happiness.

Marijuana gave me my life back

Written by Morgan in 2015

My name is Morgan and I am a 28-year-old with Multiple sclerosis (MS). I’ve had MS for 11 years and I have been on various medicines including several narcotic pain pills and sleeping pills. At one point I was taking 28 pills a day and not functional. In addition to being a business owner, I am a mother of two and a wife. I never smoked marijuana or was interested in it my entire life until the pain became so unbearable and I was literally becoming a zombie with prescription medicines.

Marijuana gave me my life back. I cannot be any clearer. I am able to smoke and feel a difference in pain within seconds and still have functionality. I rub CBD balm on my legs to stop the pain from crippling me – all illegally. I am a law-abiding citizen but risk myself every day. It is important that we move in a direction that helps and serves people. Regulations can determine the rest, but we need a forward outcome. Imagine laying naked on steel and feeling that cold burn up against your skin — you would do anything to take that dull pain away. I am now able to be a mother, business owner, and wife because of my choice in unconventional medicine. I do not think I should also be jailed for that.

Note: Morgan wrote to us in 2015 and lived in Nebraska at the time. Currently, medical marijuana (products containing more than 0.3% THC) is not an option for residents of Nebraska, but thanks to the Farm Bill passing in 2018, CBD products made from industrial hemp (containing less than 0.3% THC) are legal in all 50 states.

In just a few weeks on the CBD oil, I am already seeing more movement in my foot and leg.

Written by Molly

I am a 29-year-old woman who has had intractable epilepsy (resistant to medication) for 19 years. I had my first of six brain surgeries at age 10 to stop a pretty severe brain bleed. The damage to surrounding brain tissue is what has lead to my seizure disorder. In the last 19 years, I have tried all of the anticonvulsant drugs available to me, including several drug studies. I had little or no success.

I have recently found some success with my current drug combination as well as the addition of CBD oil. I feel very fortunate to live in a state that allows people with epilepsy to obtain CBD oil. I feel that it should be allowed for those children and adults with epilepsy and other chronic conditions that could benefit from its use. I have had about an 80% reduction in seizure activity but, what I am also seeing are the restorative benefits of the CBD oil. One of the brain surgeries I had as a teenager left me completely paralyzed on the left side of my body. I needed to learn to walk, talk, and use all the muscles of that side of my body again.

In just a few weeks on the CBD oil, I am already seeing more movement in my foot and leg. Something I never got in years of physical therapy! I am a big believer in the benefits of CBD oil for individuals with epilepsy because I have experienced it first hand. I hope more individuals get access soon.

We have been able to go out and travel without being worried sick about her seizures.

Written by a mom who wishes to stay anonymous

You have no idea how grateful we are with this CBD oil, our daughter has changed in a significant way. She´s sleeping better, her appetite is amazing, she´s more aware of her surroundings, and her squint eye seems to get better every day. Not to mention that her seizures have dropped to about 1 every 3 months (WOW!!!). The most exciting thing is that pre-school is now a reality, she has recently started and she´s enjoying it tons!

We have also been able to go out and travel without being worried sick about her seizures. I would love to mention that my relatives are also doing better than ever, it was hard for them to know that we were always on alert and that we might have to run to the hospital because she would seize.

Buying a bottle of CBD oil meant that I had to look for extra shifts and a bank loan. The currency exchange during recent months has been outrageous, one dollar meant 19 pesos for us (we live in Mexico). Now we have been able to focus on other things like house adaptations for our daughter. We have also been able to buy her splints as she has some stiffness in both of her Achilles’ tendons. We´ve also been able to pay for her doctor´s appointments. We have a sort of Medicaid but unfortunately, the doctor they allocated us wasn’t ok with cannabidiol (CBD) treatment so we had to look for another doctor which is outside coverage but is giving us a small discount. So now we can follow-up with him even more often. We´ve been able to redeem the coupon code you’ve provided to us and only pay for shipping. The assistance the RoC is giving us is such a blessing.

The impact from the RoC is way too much! Like I´ve mentioned previously we can now see for a better way of living for us and our daughter. The whole family is just overwhelmed by how she has progressed and how her seizures have decreased. They have been through a lot with us, going to the hospital, staying with her for days in the hospital, etc. I have to tell you, we had to cancel two of her birthday celebrations as she seized either the night before or on her birthday. We are all very happy with her progress. You can´t imagine how happy her cousins are as she can now attend various events, she even went to a baseball game last week!! My whole family and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity you are giving our daughter for a better chance at life. We can’t express and thank you enough for how much you are doing for us.

Note: This family receives financial assistance through our Realm Cares™ Grant Program.

The brain fog from my fibromyalgia has lifted and my energy levels are up!

Written by Anonymous

I currently have severe adrenal fatigue, to the point when active I suddenly hit a brick wall and can’t move, feeling completely incapacitated.  I take 15-20 drops of high CBD oil and within ten minutes I have a second wind. It’s so subtle I didn’t even realize it at first. A friend was staying with me, observed it twice, and commented, “Your energy completely changed.”  I also noticed the brain fog associated with fibromyalgia seems to lift for several hours. I’ve had two friends comment over the phone how much more energetic I sound to them than previously.  

My doctor is very interested as he sees the change too. He will be joining the research link you sent me, he’d love for me to continue on with this product to observe the changes as well.

Thank you so much and I think of you and everyone else at the RoC as we’re all one big family 😉

I appreciate everything you and the RoC do for me.

US Government hears your comments about rescheduling marijuana (cannabis) #TakeAction

Photo Credits : Freedom Leaf Magazine

You’ve probably heard that the US Government is taking public comments – yes, your comments – about rescheduling marijuana (cannabis) through October 31st, 2018. It’s currently scheduled at level 1 with no known medical benefits. Do you think it should be rescheduled or de-scheduled and removed from the list of controlled substances altogether?
Your voices can be heard by commenting here. Take action and share this post with your circles.

If you are struggling with words to say, take some inspiration from one of our RoC Directors, Joel Munson. Remember to keep it short and to the point, check your grammar, and don’t use curse words.
Joel says:

“I am writing to inform you about the cannabis plant and its resin.

The cannabis plant contains over 500 compounds. Over 100 of these are unique to the cannabis plant, they are called cannabinoids. Only one of these cannabinoids has a mind-altering effect and thus a potential for abuse. It is called THC. No other cannabinoid has any potential for abuse.

Different strains of cannabis contain different levels of THC. Some strains contain almost no THC and these do not belong on the CSA whatsoever. Some strains contain higher amounts of THC and are liable to be abused. However, cannabis is abused at much lower rates than other recreational drugs. Cannabis has a lower rating for dependence, withdrawal, and tolerance than alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine, three drugs that are completely legal for adults to use according to Federal law.

Though THC is the only mind-altering cannabinoid, preclinical and animal research is showing almost every cannabinoid to have remarkable therapeutic potential in mammals thanks to the newly discovered endogenous cannabinoid system, which controls all biological functions (See attached). They are showing to not just combat symptoms but to actually fight the root cause of everything from cancer and autoimmune diseases to neurological and age-related diseases.

There has never been clinical research on humans studying the medical effectiveness of cannabinoids because of the Schedule 1 status of cannabis. The Schedule 1 status makes it virtually impossible to conduct research on it. If it were re-scheduled to a lower level or preferably de-scheduled altogether, it would be a boon for research and health outcomes for the human race.

When a substance from the black market is taken above ground to a regulated market, “trafficking” becomes “shipping and handling.” There is no need to smuggle or import drugs of dubious quality when they can be produced locally with high-quality standards within a legal framework.

I hope that you will take these comments seriously. Thank you for your consideration.”

She is happier than ever and is attempting to sit up and roll, communicate, and hug.

Written by mom Kerry

Our daughter, Reese, has suffered from seizures since she was born. She was at one time having 20 seizures a day while on 3 anti-seizure meds. We have tried 12 pharmaceuticals to control her seizures. We had to acknowledge our acceptance of their side effects which included possible blindness, liver failure, kidney stones, and even death. It has been a painful, gut-wrenching process making those decisions. Even worse, she still was seizing 2-4 times a day…every day.

We started her on CBD oil one year ago. We saw her first ever seizure-free week!!! She is happier than ever and is attempting to sit up and roll, communicate, and hug. Her seizures have decreased by 75% and there are no harmful side effects! It has been Reese’s peace. I want every family who needs it to have access!! Thank you so much for caring about our precious daughter.
