U of S study to look at cannabis treatment for childhood epilepsy
Alexander Repetski hopes a new pilot study at the University of Saskatchewan will help legitimize cannabis treatment for childhood epilepsy.
He’s a firm believer in the approach as his daughter, Gwenevere, was diagnosed with epilepsy at three months old.
Doctors started her on first-line treatments, trying nine different traditional medications over ten months, but none worked.
“She was basically a two-year-old at this point and almost in a vegetative state. She was a two-year-old who could not crawl or sit on her own,” Repetski said.
