Power Plant Podcast

On today’s show we talk about CBD, also known as Cannabidiol. CBD is the non-intoxicating component of the cannabis plant and is used to treat a long list of conditions including chronic pain, cancer, Crohn’s, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, PTSD, cardiovascular disease, anxiety, antibiotic-resistant infections, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, and more.   We are joined by Dr. Matthew Ruiz whose the founder of http://www.lifeforcehempextract.com Which is a website where he not only offers high quality hemp extracts but also offers lifestyle counseling on using CBD Hemp extracts.   SEIZURES: We talk about 5 year old Charlotte Figi who went from 300 seizures a week to not having one after the first seven days of treatment. It was the story that really helped change the laws for Medical Marijuana and really shined a light on CBD oil in particular. It was the Stanley Brothers in Colorado that developed the strain called Charlottes Web which is a non psychoactive oil that contains less than 0.3% THC.   RESEARCH:
