When Alice Cowles was born eight years ago, doctors declared her a perfectly healthy baby.
But just weeks later she was encountering several life-threatening seizures a day and just recently her daughter almost died.
Doctors told the devastated mother there wasn’t much more that could do.
Pushed to desperation, the Tasmanian mother decided it was either try medical marijuana or watch her child die.
Ms. Cowles began giving Alice cannabis oil to help control her life-threatening seizures back in February.
The youngster, who suffers a rare genetic disorder called CDKL-5, which includes epilepsy, has since suffered just one seizure since, is able to walk, and go to school full-time.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
This oil will soon be legalised in Australia. Check out my timeline.
