Kalel Santiago, a 3-year-old boy from Puerto Rico, was diagnosed with
autism after suffering a rare form of cancer and undergoing
chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments, starting when he was
only 10 months old.
He had a severe speech delay, meaning that he did not speak at all until age 3.
“While
he was in the hospital, we noticed he didn’t speak at all and had some
behavior that wasn’t right, like hand flapping, and walking on his
toes,” explained Kalel’s father Abiel Gomez Santiago to Yahoo News. “But
we waited until he was 3 and cancer-free to look at his behavior.”
Kalel’s
parents knew very little about autism at the time, and sought out a way
to ensure that their child would be helped. They found measurable
success from various schools and therapeutic techniques, including one
that used surfing as a means of therapy.
After trying various
methods, the Santiago family was made aware of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil as a
non-psychoactive treatment for autism.
CBD is one of over a hundred cannabinoids present in cannabis. It can be used as an antitumoral, anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, anticonvulsant, anti-oxidant, anti-psychotic or anxiolytic.
When they were able to obtain CBD oil, Kalel was given small oral doses twice daily. In just 2 days, he began to speak.
“He
surprised us in school by saying the vowels, A-E-I-O-U. It was the
first time ever,” Abiel said. “You can’t imagine the emotion we had,
hearing Kalel’s voice for the first time. It was amazing. The teacher
recorded him and sent it to my wife and me and we said well, the only
different thing we have been doing is using the CBD.”
“He said, ‘amo mi mama,’ ‘I love my mom,’” Abiel recalled. “I don’t know how to thank [those who made the CBD oil].”
The
question remains, why does this plant remain criminalized while it is
showing promise to help so many people? If we are to allow for
advancements in science and medicine, we should not be swayed by special
interest.
When will bureaucrats choose to step out of the way and
allow the cannabis market to bring healing medicine to those who need
it most?
