Autism Treatment With Cannabis 
In an effort to find help for their child with autism many parents have turned to the use of high quality medical grade cannabis. Those who had resisted in the past due to stigmas attached to it have found new hope.
For the treatment of the symptoms of autism parents have reported a greater ability in focus and concentration, increased ability to handle emotions such as rage and fears, friendlier and more socially aware, increased appetite, and better sleep.
One lesser known fact about children with autism is that roughly fifty percent start having seizures around the onset of puberty. The best news lately for this issue is that cannabis is a solution for it that works for many individuals.
Some of the newest and most enlightening studies regarding seizures, Crohns disease, pain, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer is in cannabis, that’s right, marijuana. Specific strains are used for specific needs. Before you think about it as only a drug that people use to get high, think again.
Decades ago, in the 1970’s, Israel became the medical marijuana research capitol. There are two ingredients in cannabis; THC and CBD. Israel was the first to isolate the psychotropic portion of cannabis called THC, from the medicinal, non-intoxicating, CBD portion. Medical marijuana can have less than one percent THC and it has the potential to treat many diseases with NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS! This is opposite of what the medical prescription drugs are doing. Every nineteen minutes there is a fatality due to accidental prescription medical overdoses. There are no reports of fatal marijuana overdoses, and it is less harmful or addictive, (less than nine percent), than alcohol.
The science behind it tells us so far that the CBD or cannibal diol modulates chemical and electrical activity in the brain that quiets excessive activity causing seizures. Specific strains are used for different illnesses. In Israel over 10,000 patients are licensed to use marijuana medicinally. There are more than a dozen studies to treat illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder, Crohns disease, pain and cancer.
Depending on the age or need of the patient, cannabis can be used like an herbal tincture in liquid form with only a few drops put under the tongue. Additional methods of delivery are as a topical cream, encapsulated, or added to food.
Although the FDA has approved studies there are organizations who say there is no evidence that it is effective. These organizations include the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institute of Drug Abuse. They block out the studies that are positive because it is not in their scope of beliefs. This can be the case with any organization. Changing beliefs is a difficult thing to do. I strongly encourage you to do your own research and make your own educated decisions.

Government regulations against this HARMLESS and helpful product have made it challenging for these companies to offer their products online today. I used to have resources here for you but the sites had to unlist them. You can find a dispensary in many states now to purchase CBD legally. Please be mindful to get an organic product from a reputable dispensary.

Quickly Reduce Your Child’s Symptoms of Autism by Eliminating 7 Foods Most People Consume Daily!
The first crucial step of autism recovery is to begin restoring health to the gut and the immune system.
The health of the gut is directly linked to the health of the brain and therefore to the symptoms of autism. In fact, 80% of the immune system comes from the gut so if the gut is not healthy, then the brain can’t thrive, and the immune system is compromised. It’s a vicious cycle, but thankfully, it’s one that we can put an end to by first eliminating harmful foods.
- Harmful Foods: Identify the foods that worsen autism symptoms and understand the science behind their impact.
- Smart Food Choices: Learn about easy dietary swaps that can significantly enhance sleep, clarity of thought, and emotional well-being.
- Practical Implementation: Get valuable tips on how to implement these dietary changes easily and effectively.

My younger sister has autism, and so I keep telling my parents to take her to Colorado or somewhere that allows for medical cannabis. Although my sister didn’t start having seizures once she hit puberty, she did regress in her mental age level and become more violent. I hear that cannabis could possibly help her to become more calm and less violent, which is why I want her to have access to this drug. Maybe I will show my parents this post so that they can learn how there are not harmful side effects.
Hi Faylinn,
Yes, definitely have them listen to the interview on cannabis. You can call the numbers on the links and websites too. They have a lot of valuable information to offer you and your parents. Additionally, with seizures there are two other pieces to know about as possibilities:
1.mitochondrial disease- listen to my most recent podcast on this at, https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/2016/08/31/podcast-interview-with-dr-fran-kendall-on-mitochondria-disease/
2. PANDAS or PANS: especially since the seizures started in puberty. It may be caused by the onset of a strep infection which can be treated too, if needed. Read more at, http://www.autismone.org/content/pandas-coverage.
In health,
Karen
