• Autism is not simply a manageable condition for the disabled or their parents

  • Getting effective and effective treatment today is almost impossible

  • New studies confirm the effectiveness of marijuana for the treatment of autism



One of the latest studies by Israeli researchers once again confirms that cannabis can help children sufferers on autism. The report itself and the final results of the study will soon be published in the official neurology magazine. Children who were during the study observed very high content of medicinal cannabis > cannabinoid CBD (non-psychoactive cannabis components).

"There was a noticeable improvement in the condition for 80%. In contrast, no conventional improvement was observed with conventional drugs."

Autism study, close-up and detail

The latest autism study was led by chief chief of pediatric neurology in Jerusalem , Shaare Zedek Hospital , Dr. Adiss Aran . A total of 60 autistic children were observed who received cannabis extract (oil) containing 20% CBD and 1% THC for 7 months.

After seven months of honest treatment, the parents of the children were asked detailed questions to collect the data thoroughly. In particular, scientists were interested in how the behavior, anxiety and stress levels as well as the ability to communicate changed in children over the seven months of treatment. The results were as follows:

  • 80% of parents reported noticeable improvement in children's condition, 62% reported surprisingly strong improvements in children's behavior.

  • Improved communication was observed across half of the children

  • 40% of parents reported a noticeable reduction in observable anxiety in children. (Note: One third of the children did not suffer from anxiety already before the study)

Israeli Cannabis Research - Front Line of Marijuana Treatment

Just as cannabis research for the treatment of various diseases in Israel is at the forefront of the world, Dr. Aran is a pioneer in research into the treatment of autism with cannabis. Aran initially started its research in 2017 when 120 autistic children were observed. It was the first ever cannabis research for autism so large . The government of Israel is actively supporting research and is progressive in terms of potential treatment for cannabis and its research." access.

"Dr. Aran describes in an interview that as soon as they have launched into the world and reported to parents that research on cannabis for autism is starting, his waiting room is out ofthey were filling up with eager families, who obviously wanted to participate in the survey. ”

Autism is a neurological disease and begins to manifest itself during the herd and toddler or early childhood. For the time being, autism is considered an incurable disorder persisting from the beginning to the end of life. More serious cases of autism are manifested by debilitating symptoms, including high impulsivity, repetitive behavior, severely impaired communication and inability to socialize. Some of the children with autism cannot speak at all. Around 1% of the world's population is affected by autism.

The cause of autism is still unclear and there is no effective treatment. In April of this year, it was confirmed that 1 out of 59 children suffered from autism, a worsening in comparison with previous years. For comparison, 2004 was still "mere" 1 out of 166 children, plus doctors against autism often prescribe ineffective and, most importantly, dangerous drugs causing a range of dangerous, side effects.

Dr. Aran was interested in the healing effects of cannabis after studies on the treatment of childhood epilepsy with CBD-rich extracts. As you remember, CBD is often able to help children with epilepsy where all other medications fail. In addition, 20% of children with autism suffer from epilepsy. As far as the overall population is concerned, less than 2% of people suffer from epilepsy, but 33% of autistic patients are also affected by epilepsy.

The link between epilepsy and autism

Neurologist and brain disease researcher, Dr. Thomas Deuel, acting in a Seattle hospital in Sweden, says there is a definite connection between epilepsy and autism. While scientists do not yet understand the true cause of this association, they assume that the development of epilepsy associated with autism is due to impaired brain development and its components.

It is this connection that has made many parents begin to seek potential treatment options with cannabis - especially cannabinoid CBD. It is clear from the parents' unofficial reports so far that CBD is able to effectively help with autism. For the time being, however, it was only an unofficial claim. However, just unofficial evidence and reports such as these lead researchers to embark on a thorough clinical research and debrief the matter.

Cannabis CBD Research - How Did CBD Lead in Science?

In 2015, a scientific report by Harvard was published for the first time, summarizing all existing cannabis- treated autism . The scientific report, which has so far been written as the only official statistic in which cannabis efficacy can be observed against autism , pointed to only vague and non-definitive results. However, summarized studies were conducted largely on animals, not humans. Therefore, it is impossible to completely translate the results into human subjects and consider them identical. The result was doctors' attitudestyle "cannabis deploy their children and only in the event that all other methods of drugs and conventional treatments have failed."

However, much has changed since 2015. The public and the scientific community are gradually and increasingly changing their approach to cannabis for better and skepticism, with every other hopeful outcome of the study decreasing. In addition, the official recognition of the CBD elixir of GW Pharmaceuticals called Epidiolex was a great milestone pan , who has been deployed with considerable success against epilepsy cases.

Research still in progress - hope for autistic children

the effectiveness of CBD in cases of childhood epilepsy cannot be denied. Even scientists do not contest the efficacy of cannabis , but researchers at New York University have embarked on a new research into cannabis treatment for autism. Research is under the guidance of a neurologistOrrina Devinsky .

Current research deals with children aged 5 to 18, suffering from both mild and severe autism. The only other doctor currently conducting research of this kind is Dr. 

As autism and epilepsy go hand in hand, potential CBD treatment is offered for both diseases. Hopefully, the results of the Israeli Doctor Aran and neurologist Orrin will be a success that will trigger an avalanche of follow-up research, just as it was in research on CBD against epilepsy.

Apparently, medicinal cannabis is a multi-use herb that is able to cure, in whole or in part, the full range of diseases and diseases affecting children, adolescents and adults. The safety of plant cannabinoids that are capable of interacting with the endocannabinoid receptors of our body is rarely seen elsewhere. Despite the need to carry out a number of clinical, official studies, healing marijuana already has a clear hope for the vast number of people seeking effective and safe treatment.
