Casual Conversations #24 Epilepsy
The discussion, hosted by John Malanca with experts Dr. Jordan Tishler, Dr. Adam Abodeely, and Dr. Sandra Carrillo, centers on the use of cannabinoids, specifically CBD, in treating epilepsy.
They highlight the significant turning point marked by the advent of CBD treatment, notably with Epidiolex, a pharmaceutical developed by GW Pharma.
The conversation delves into scientific studies and real-world applications, discussing the benefits and challenges of purified vs. full-spectrum CBD forms, the importance of collaboration with neurologists, and the potential risks associated with unregulated hemp-derived products.
They emphasize the need for medical professionals to get educated on cannabinoid treatments and offer resources for further learning and support through the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists.
