Charlotte’s web and the treatment of seizures in children


Charlotte’s web and the treatment of seizures in children

 

 

Charlotte’s Web was named after Charlotte Figi. She was having over 300 seizures a week, until her parents began using medical marijuana for her at age 5. Her seizures dropped to about 3 over an 8 month period. When Charlotte’s father was stationed in Afghanistan, he began looking to the internet for ways to help his daughter. There was a danger in that marijuana’s THC can actually trigger seizures.

 

 

 

     There is a difference between Charlotte’s Web and recreational marijuana. Charlotte’s web was developed by 5 brothers in Colorado through a breeding process which has created a variety that has less tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and more cannabidiol  (CBD) than regular varieties.  Marijuana that creates the high feeling is high in THC.  The CBD in Charlotte’s web has proven to not produce any of the effects of THC. The CBD appears to have  seizure fighting properties.  In October, the Food and Drug Administration approved testing of a British firm’s marijuana drug that is CBD based and all of the TCH has been removed. The Stanley brothers who make the plant in Colorado now provide marijuana to 300 patients and have a waiting list of 2000.  In their marijuana, the CBD is extracted by a chemist who once worked for Pfizer. It is then mixed with olive oil that can be placed in a feeding tube or swallowed. It is then sent to a third-party lab to test its purity. The Stanley’s foundation is called “The Realm of Caring Foundation.” According to Main St. Family Health, the Stanley’s’ have said that the medical oil that they use currently is actually made from hemp.  The first week of March, 2014, the Israel health ministry decided that parents should be able to access state controlled medical marijuana for children with pediatric seizures.  This change came about after 15 families were denied treatment for their children and made plans to move to Colorado.  There are approximately 13,000 medical marijuana patients in Israel.

     People with children who have seizures have been flocking to Colorado, because medicinal marijuana was banned in their state.  The need is so great that there are reports of non-authorized suppliers selling products that are not actually Charlotte’s Web. The relocated families have formed a close community in Colorado Springs where the dispensary is located. The vice president of the American Epilepsy Society suggest that parents move closer to pediatric epilepsy centers instead.  Don Burger rented a home in Colorado so that Charlotte’s Web could be given to his 4 year old daughter—the Doctors had suggested brain surgery instead, and that could only stop some of her seizures.  Ray Mirazabegin, an optician, convinced the Stanley brothers to give him seeds so that he can treat his 9 year old daughter who spent her days laying on the couch-she now runs and plays. He opened a California branch of the Stanleys’ foundation. Mirazabegian distributes the strain to 25 families at present and has a waiting list of 400. The list includes people who are willing to relocate from Japan and the Philippines.

How to reach our destiny by Dr. Robert Schuller


How to reach our destiny  by Dr. Robert Schuller

 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” When we are redeemed into God’s family-we begin to think big as God designed.  Our feelings of inferiority are healed by our association with God, we suddenly are released from negative self-image which keeps us from daring to dream big and beautiful as God wants every human to think.  Self-esteem will lead us into possibility thinking! Our core changes from shame to self-esteem.

     The deep longing to be needed must be met before  you will be able to discover your value. Mother Teresa’s favorite phrase is “gladly I’ll take up the cross of personal involvement in someone else’s problems with the result that I will feel needed, and the warm glow of self-esteem will be my reward.” Self-affirmation and self-esteem inspire sacrificial service which generates fresh self-worth. She calls this self-esteem recycled. When we pray, “your kingdom come, thy will be done,” God will give us a human need-filling dream to feed our self-esteem.   When we dream about the will of God, the depression of personal insignificance and meaninglessness and lack of purpose disappears. Dreams dispel depression and discouragement.

1.       God has a self-esteem building plan for the human race. God’s plan is designed around the deepest needs of human beings-self dignity, self-respect, self-worth and self-esteem. No person can really love himself unless he boost the self-worth of others.

2.       God’s plan includes all who choose to be included. No person is too insignificant to be used by God. His will is being done every time we act in a way that lifts another person’s dignity.

3.       God’s plan for our life will come to us in a dream that will build our self-esteem. As Christians, we may experience an inspiring thought that is loaded with possibilities.  We repress these desires not realizing that God gave us the dream. “It is God who works in you, inspiring both the will and the deed, for our chosen purpose (Phil2:13). God’s greatest job is to get us to believe we are somebody and we really can do something.  We should enjoy the good feeling that comes when we sense that God wants to use us.

4.       The Cross is the central force in the kingdom of God. Christ’s Cross makes our salvation possible. God gives our self-respect a boost with his nonjudgmental love. We must do the same for other human beings. We must get involved and accept the dream God gives and develop its possibilities. Pursing possibility thinking is the way of the Cross.  When God’s dream is accepted, we must be prepared to pay a high price. The journey will be difficult. There is no self-esteem without sacrifice.  There is no sacrifice without being exposed to the possibility of ridicule.  There is no way we can pursue a dream without running the risk of people saying, “Who does he think he is?” The cross is the price we have to pay to succeed. He will call us to a dream that is demanding.  There is no success without a cross. No gain without pain.

5.       God’s will and plan for his kingdom is ultimate success. God will see you through to ultimate success, so self-esteem generates possibility thinking.  “I am inspires I can.” When Mother Teresa began her journey, she had 3 pennies and a dream from God. Dr. Schuller believes that success is experiencing the self-esteem that arises within us when we build it in others through self-denial and sacrificial service.  To build self-esteem in others is to walk in God’s will and do his work. Success is to be defined as the gift of self-esteem that God gives us as a reward for our sacrificial service in building self-esteem in others. We will live with dignity, when we know that we did what God wanted us to do.  If we are faithful in our call, we make the great discover-your integrity fulfills our ego needs. Even if we fail, we feel great, for we did what we had to do.
