CPN Interviews Beth W. of Kansas

I met Beth in 2006 while traveling through Kansas with Journey for Justice 7. Beth suffers from debilitating migraines and epileptic seizures, brought on by a traumatic head injury. Despite conventional medications & an electrical implant to curb the seizures, her condition steadily worsened. Medical Cannabis proved to be her salvation.

I had a sinus infection that shot up to my brain when I was 13. Same thing happened, I had to relearn everything; walking, talking ect. I didn't start having seizures till I was 17. First I would just phase out, now I have gran mauls all the time. was on dylantin for a while, then keppra now I'm back on dylantin. I have constant headaches, bad migranes and so forth. I smoke marijuana a few times a day and I'm fine.

zelda69, Testimonies like yours are vital for the multitude of epileptic sufferers who seek out videos like Beth's.

The fact is, the vast majority of those who suffer from auto-immune disease and spinal/neurological injury don't even know that there is a safe holistic alternative and/or adjunct to prescription drugs.

As we, cannabis patients, step out of the shadows and make ourselves heard, others will find comfort and restoration. Essentially, that is what it's all about. mark-cpn

@zelda69 I do what I can, I don't know how to get more involved though :-(

@zelda69

The greatest thing that you can do is to tell your story. First to your family and friends and then, if you have the courage, the world. I can help you do that if you wish.

The only way that our nation will ever accept cannabis as medicine is if they hear the truth from the mouths of those whom it benefits. Everything else just sounds like hype to those who mistakenly support prohibition. CPN is about sharing the TRUTH, because the truth will ultimately win-out. mark-cpn

great testimony ! do you think that doing a raw food and vegan diet will help her too!

[CannabisPatientNet]

nick24nanda, I can only speak from my personal experience, but I definitely believe diet serves a key role in the recovery from serious illness.

Cannabis has proven itself to be an effective treatment for auto-immune disease and neurological injury, but recognizing and dealing with the cause of an illness or what elements are retarding the healing process can be crucial to sustained health. mark-cpn

Yes, it becomes fearful! and embarrassing!! and the doctors in your town will not take you due to your seizures and they can't do anything. My thoughts for myself exactly. I have had surgery for my E and still have seizures. Thank you for uploading.

Thanks for the upload, very helpful. I have seen some of the other videos you have posted on Utube, but I was wondering if you have anyother sources of information? My friend has Grand Mal seizures and I fear that when the economy falls apart that she will be unable to afford her meds and she is skeptical of the use of cannabis. I'd really like any information you can help me w so I can spread the word and help a friend. Thanks again

that fear she's talking about i believe is an aura. i used to get really bad auras. i'd have bad panic attacks before a seizure. i'm taking dilantin and keppra. so far it's working, but i'm having breakthrough seizures once in a while. when i smoke bud, i don't have a panic attack and the seizures are less intense. epilepsy is a mysterious condition. i say more studies need to be dealt with epilepsy and cannabis

Thank you for this!
