Jayden David started having seizures at the age of four months. For the next 5 years, he continued to have up to 500 seizures PER DAY. Doctors prescribed him a dosage of 22 pills a day in hopes to find what was wrong and to help sedate the episodes. Can you imagine having to ingest that many pharmaceutical drugs at such a young age, and then to not have them work?
Insurance companies weren’t helpful, and the costs of treatment had virtually bankrupted Jason David (father) and his family. Their business, their home, and their son were about to be lost to this, what seemed, hopeless ailment.
Jason was desperate and was willing to try anything. So he tried cannabis oil. The very first day they noticed something – no seizures. This video will touch your heart and hopefully educate you in the ways of medicinal marijuana and the countless benefits contained within.

Since she was a small baby, Millie had suffered from epilepsy and was
having up to 700 painful and terrifying seizures a day... But then she
started using CBD.
Since she was a small baby, Millie had suffered from epilepsy
and was having up to 700 painful and terrifying seizures a day. She was
diagnosed with infantile spasms, a case so severe that her parents had
little hope that she would ever walk or talk. In this clip from the
National Geographic’s ‘Cannabis For Kids’ series, Millie’s consultant
admits on camera that traditional pharmaceutical drugs for epilepsy can “cause tremendous problems for these children,” and her parents agreed. Millie was on three different medications and her parents wanted to explore the alternatives. “We felt like our hands were tied,” her father explains.
They made a tough decision to leave most of their possessions and move to Colorado, where medical marijuana is legal and accessible. Millie’s parents began administering CBD
to treat the epilepsy, and saw a huge improvement immediately. “Within
15 minutes of giving her the first dose, she was wide awake and looking
around,” says her mother. The first 90 days of CBD treatment amazed Millie’s parents: the number of seizures she suffered per day dropped by between 70-90%.
They admit that starting this journey was “scary and difficult,” but have no regrets whatsoever about their decision to use cannabis.
“I don’t know why people are so afraid of this,” her father says.
“We’ve gone from a place where we didn’t think we’d have our daughter
with us for long to a place where it’s possible she will walk and talk
like other children.” Her mother agrees, saying that when she thinks of
the future, she imagines a happy one, one in which her daughter has
“beaten the odds.”
This is all thanks to a miraculous natural healing plant,
a gift to mankind which is still illegal in most of the world. Please
share this video if you believe that more kids like Millie (and Sophie) should get a second chance at life.

Little Sadie Higuera is a model for what it means to fight for one’s
life. She’s a testament for what hope and bravery can accomplish in a
moment of utmost desperation and she’s living proof of the efficacy of a
little green plant we know as cannabis. She’s a gorgeous child with a
beautiful heart and we’d like to share her story with you.
Last year Sadie’s parents, Brian and Damaris, sat before their daughter’s neurologist, heads spinning… Did she really just say that? Is this it? Are we going to lose our little girl?
Since the day she was born, doctors and family members knew that
Sadie’s life was a fragile one and 3 months after that day, she
experienced her first grand mal seizure, but that was just the beginning
of a turn for the worse. Soon, she was experiencing upwards of 300
seizures a day, many of which were uncontrollable to the point of her
having to be resuscitated. She came under the supervision of 13
specialists, a grocery bag full of trial medications, and yet nothing
was working.
Soon, she was experiencing upwards of 300 seizures a day, many of which were uncontrollable to the point of resuscitation.
“It was like she was always sleeping. All the doctors were doing were
sedating her – That’s all they could do for her,” Brian said. They
tried everything. Beyond the seizures, Sadie’s body was being overtaken
by numerous tumors, her health was quickly slipping between her doctor’s
fingertips, and her quality of life was dwindling. She’d been diagnosed
with an extremely rare congenital neurodegenerative disease called
Schinzel-Giedion Syndrome, and they had come to a point in which they
had had thought they had exhausted all means of treatment.
As Brian sat before us recalling the moment that he and his wife
heard those words uttered from their doctor’s lips that there were no
more options for their daughter, it was a darkness that silence could
not come close to paralleling, but it was a moment that lasted only a
quick second because Brian was not done telling Sadie’s story and Sadie
is still here with us today. How?
…it was a darkness that silence could not even parallel,
but it was a moment that lasted only a quick second because Brian was
not done telling Sadie’s story and Sadie is still here with us today.
That day, Sadie’s neurologist had offered her parents a ‘final’
option – a medication that would improve her quality of life and
alleviate some of her suffering, but would likely kill her in only two
short months. She told Brian he’d be a hero for Sadie, but on the way
home from the hospital that day, Brian made a decision that would save
his daughter’s life. He had his own idea of how to be a hero for Sadie.
Brian Higuera decided to look into medical marijuana.
He called numerous clinics, contacted doctors, and reached out to
anyone with resources about using cannabis medicinally to treat Sadie’s
condition. Being that she was still only an infant, many turned down his
request for help, but due to his relentless search he finally met a
doctor at a local San Diego-based clinic who took on the challenge of
helping the Higueras named Dr. Mark Rabe.
Brian returned home that day with a tube of hemp-derived CBD oil from
another local San Diego-based company called HempMeds and went to his
daughter’s side. Damaris had left the house, anxious about the results
the medicine would have on her child. “I gave her a dose of the oil and
after only 20 minutes, her eyes stopped twitching. 20 minutes later, I
gave her another dose and her body stopped twitching. I couldn’t believe
it,” said Sadie’s father. Damaris soon returned home, silently darting
her eyes across her husband’s face searching for signs about how the
trial had gone for their little one.
She walked into the room, took one look at Sadie and grasped her
close to heart. “I have my little girl back!” Imagine that for a moment.
Imagine being told that there were no other options for your child,
except being a ‘hero’ and letting her go and imagine the wash of relief
they felt when they experienced that first glimmer of hope. That
is what cannabis means to many. That feeling is something that has
become unparalleled to anything in the world today. Cannabis had given
little Sadie a second chance at living life in the arms of her family.
She walked into the room, took one look at Sadie and
grasped her close to heart. “I have my little girl back!” Imagine that
for a moment.
As her treatment evolved with medical marijuana and her parents began
making oil that was three parts CBD and one part THC, Sadie’s days
became less and less interrupted by seizures. Now, she is down to about
2-5 seizures a week, an amazing improvement from the 2,000+ she had been
experiencing before. Not only that, but the tumors in her body have
completely disappeared. A couple months after the Higueras had started
using the CBD oil, they had gone in for their routine check-up with
Sadie’s radiologist. If Brian remembered correctly, the doctor said “I
don’t want to freak you out or anything, but Sadie’s tumors are gone.
What are you giving her?” Brian just smiled. “CBD.”
Sadie’s grandmother, who has been a part of Sadie’s treatment and
supervision since she was born, said she tells everyone her story. She’s
proud of her granddaughter and believes she’s here for a reason.
Sadie’s family comes from a conservative background, but when the family
decided to branch out and try medical marijuana, they received
overwhelming support from their entire community. “Do whatever it
takes!” In Sadie’s most recent check-up her scans are also showing the
scoliosis in her spine is improving. She’s now trying to communicate and
even eligible for physical and speech therapy.
Now, she is down to about 2-5 seizures a week, an amazing
improvement from the 2,000+ she had been experiencing before. Not only
that, but the tumors in her body have completely disappeared.
After spending a majority of her life with her eyes swollen shut from
steroids, her little fists clenched with anxiety, and two older sisters
by her side sad because she was “always sleeping,” Sadie is now making
up time and living out this new quality of life cannabis has availed
to her. You wouldn’t be able to get over that beautiful smile of hers
that nests in her cheeks – It’s amazing… and is a smile we would never
have been blessed with had it not been for Sadie’s fight for her life
and her family’s decision to try cannabis.
“It’s all been such a positive experience, especially once we got her
off of all the other medications she was on. You can call her terminal,
you can call her what you want, but she’s not going anywhere today and
we’ll take tomorrow when it comes.”
This is Sadie’s story. When Sadie’s family went back to their
neurologist, she was astounded by the little girl’s progress. When they
told her they had started Sadie on CBD, she nodded her head and said
another patient of hers was also on that treatment. So… why did she not
tell the Higueras that they did in fact have another option? Why did she
offer them a medication that would end their daughter’s life if she
knew of one that could possibly save it? She didn’t offer that to the Higueras because she would have lost her medical license. Please share Sadie’s story.
If our doctors don’t have the power to tell us all our options, we have
to share that option with each other. We do have a choice and little
Sadie is only one of the millions that have found hope with medical
cannabis…
