   Recent news surrounding the use of  cannabis extracts  for cancer and other diseases has largely been concentrated in the  United States, where thousands of families are beginning to use  high-cannabidiol oil for various forms of epilepsy.
   However, use of marijuana as a medicine is not limited to  America or epilepsy, and throughout the world, people are beginning to  use cannabis-derived medicine for epileptic and other conditions.
   International News Surrounding Cannabis Extract Medicine  In  Australia, dozens of children are using THC-A tincture for various forms of epilepsy. THC-A is the non-decarboxylated, raw form of  tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and is non-psychoactive like  cannabidiol (CBD). This tincture is proving to be as or more effective than CBD for epilepsy.
   Tara O’Connell, the most well-known tincture patient in  Australia and who suffers from Dravet syndrome, has gone from 60  seizures a week to seizure free with a year of THC-A use. Her brother  Sean, who has a less severe form of epilepsy, has also improved  dramatically.
   An article published on the  Herald Sun mentions other Australian parents who are seeing the same miraculous results with their children.
   Cannabis Oil Helps People Fight Cancer On A Global Scale Most of the other international activity has been focused on  cancer. A  January 2014 story on a Croatian news station featured “Mark,” who didn’t want to use his real name for fear of criminal prosecution.
   Mark had suffered from non-small cell lung cancer. He was  given four to twelve months to live, and chemotherapy that was intended  to prolong his life only made things worse.

     After receiving news his cancer had doubled, Mark stopped  treatment and began cannabis oil. He immediately began feeling better,  and the cancer was no longer visible on X-rays after three months. |
