Putting my eggs in the CBD basket.
In April 2015, my 20 year old was diagnosed with Leukemia. The treatments have saved her life, but the ravages of the high steroid therapy has left her bones in shambles. She has several spots of dead bone (osteonecrosis) and now is catagorized as having severe osteoporosis. She fell and broke her hip last year. At 23 she can't jump, run, dance any longer. I read an article of Raphael Mechoulam, Ph.D that does extensive research on cannibis and it's uses. He found that our bodies have receptors for cannibidol in the bones that encourage regrowth. He has studied osteoporosis patients with good results. Since traditional medicine for osteoporosis is only hopeful to not "lose ground" on bone growth, but not "gain ground" I decided to give CBD a try. The studies showed that there was no increased effect to THC on bone growth, that patients did best with CBD. I wanted the best, unadulterated, product I could find for best results. I ordered the Hemp 300 mg bottles first, and took advantage of the special pricing ordering 6 at a time. I dosed her at 5mg per day. It tastes pretty bad, but we view it as medicine not candy. Last month we needed to reorder and discovered the pill form. After chatting with the customer support and asking if they knew of any issues that would discourage a change of method, I felt secure in trying the pills which are 10 mg each dose. I am anxiously awaiting the next bone density scan in 6 months as she will have been on the CBD for a year. In the mean time I do notice less pain for her in her legs and feet when she walks. She was previously on a scooter as she couldn't walk more than 10 min without pain. Her mood is better as well. I'm hopeful for great results. The company is very helpful, shopping is fast and the products seem pure (I have tried other CBD products before). ********************UPDATE************************** My daughter had her first repeat bone density scan since fracturing her hip in 2016. While her doctor said he didn’t expect to gain much ground from her traditional therapy and the drug studies show 3% increase in bone mass in two years at best - her bone density scan showed 15% overall gain in bone mass these past two years!!! I am 100% confident that it was the CBD oil she’s been taking every single day that made the difference. Her orthopedist told her this month that she can attempt to jog on the treadmill and in his words “see how the bones hold up to living life.” We will continue to take the cbd oil daily and see what the next two years bring!!! Amazing results!!!

Hi, Monica! We are so sorry to hear about your daughter's battle with Leukemia but so happy that she is still here with us. CBD may promote bone growth, so we strongly hope that your daughter can feel an improved quality of life after long term use of CBD. It is great knowing that she is feeling a little less pain and an increased mood, hopefully, she can feel more improvements in the very near future. We would love to know more about the improvements she may feel on her CBD journey. Thank you for letting us be a part of this and keep us updated. We would love to know the results of the bone density scan when that time comes. Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review and giving us an insight to your daughter's journey.
