Key Points

• Seadon experienced his first Grand mal seizure at age three, lasting over 20 minutes, with medical staff initially believing he would suffer brain damage from the prolonged episode.
• Medical professionals prescribed benzodiazepines which reduced seizure frequency and severity but required continuous dose increases as Seadon continued having seizures for four years.
• By age seven, Seadon was taking the maximum benzodiazepine dose equivalent to an 18-19 year old but still experiencing seizures, prompting consultation with alternative neurologists.
• Memory impairment was identified as a significant side effect of the benzodiazepine medication, causing Seadon to forget basic daily tasks and potentially creating permanent cognitive damage.
• Research into natural alternatives consistently pointed to cannabis as the only viable option, though specific dosing and cultivation information was extremely limited at the time.
• Pharmaceutical shortage crisis forced an immediate decision when Seadon's medication became unavailable, with Health Canada offering three replacement drugs including ones with suicide risk and irreversible liver damage.
• Cannabis treatment began with a one-to-one CBD-THC tincture obtained from a veteran's prescription, starting with low doses while simultaneously weaning off benzodiazepines.
• Seadon achieved complete seizure freedom for 11 years using a customized cannabis regimen of 20-to-1 CBD-THC ratio during daytime and 1-to-1 ratio at nighttime.
• Memory function significantly improved after transitioning from pharmaceuticals to cannabis, contradicting common misconceptions about cannabis effects on developing brains.
• Legal prescription acquisition took over 18 months due to reluctance from healthcare providers to treat pediatric patients, eventually obtained through a questionable cannabis clinic charging $2,000 annually.
• Medical establishment resistance continued even after successful treatment, with neurologists refusing prescription renewals despite 100% seizure control and excluding Seadon from cannabis epilepsy studies.
• Family doctor refused to write cannabis prescriptions despite supporting the treatment results, ultimately involving legal counsel when challenged about patient rights violations.
• EduCanNation nonprofit was founded in 2020 to standardize cannabis education and provide proper guidance to patients, addressing the lack of reliable information and support systems.
• Organization connects certified cannabis educators who are primarily former patients, aiming to share evidence-based knowledge and prevent others from experiencing similar healthcare navigation challenges.

Key Points

• Zoe was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 17 after experiencing symptoms for four years, which was considered fortunate since the average diagnosis period for women is typically eight years.
• Medical professionals initially dismissed her severe pain as heavy periods, with male gynecologists showing less empathy than female healthcare workers, and doctors wanting to induce early menopause through injections rather than natural surgical menopause.
• Treatment protocol included multiple contraceptive methods like implants, injections, coils, and hormone replacement tablets that caused negative mental side effects, followed by laparoscopic surgery for definitive diagnosis.
• Psychological impact was severely negative, especially during her formative years, leading to lifestyle changes and the realization that lifestyle factors can minimize endometriosis pain and symptoms.
• Heavy pharmaceutical dependency developed with doctors prescribing tramadol eight times daily for two years, morphine, and gabapentin, creating withdrawal issues that required gradual tapering under medical supervision.
• Six operations were performed over the years, with endometriosis affecting her bowel, uterus, and tubes, including the controversial removal of her left ovary despite right-side pain and ongoing right-side cysts.
• Decision to pursue holistic alternatives occurred around COVID-19 after her husband advocated for proper hospital treatment, leading to research into detoxing and healthy lifestyle implementation.
• Medical cannabis journey began with recreational use that showed benefits, progressing to obtaining a UK can card for legal protection, then transitioning to a proper medical cannabis clinic three years ago.
• Cannabis treatment includes THC and CBD capsules for bowel-related symptoms, THC drops taken sublingually, and flower consumed through a Mighty Medic vaporizer, with monthly prescriptions and quarterly reviews.
• Remarkable recovery occurred post-surgery with no nausea or sickness, appetite restoration, and four kilograms weight gain after losing eight kilograms over three months of severe illness.
• Family support system including her husband with PTSD, two children aged 11 and 12, and her father who raised her from age five provides the primary motivation for maintaining health and recovery.
• Victoria, a woman who achieved 11 years of pain-free living through magnesium, supplements, yoga, and lifestyle changes, inspired Zoe's holistic approach combined with positive mindset training.
• Encouragement for newly diagnosed women emphasizes personal strength, connecting with online endometriosis communities, open family communication, independent research beyond doctor recommendations, and daily gratitude practices.
