5. Medical Cannabis Demystified - Follow-Up with Deborah and Abi

This Talk is a follow-up to our 2020 Talk with both Vera Twomey and Deborah Downey under our Medical Cannabis DeMystyfied series…
Both Vera and Deborah were mothers to 2 wonderful daughters who sadly suffered from retractable drug resistant forms of Epilepsy. While Vera’s daughter Ava suffered from Dravet’s Syndrome and In the case of Deborah’s daughter Abigail who suffered from Lennox Gastaut Syndrome.

The manifestations of each disease are pretty much the same with uncontrollable violent seizures in the region of over 70 a day…
Both ladies that in 2020 had been through a several year process to be allowed give their daughters the vital Cannabis oils that literally stop the seizures and bring the chaos that surrounded the extended families lives some semblance of peace.
It is incredible the lengths these 2 women had to go to independently to first get the recognition that Cannabis was a more effective treatment than ANY of the other toxic treatments their children had to endure basically due to the stigma surrounding this wonderful plant

Abigail had lived a normal life until the age of 6, riding her bike to school before this horrible disease manifested…
She had in Deborah the most powerful Mammy who looked after though all those chaotic and stressful times and Abi survived way beyond what doctors gave her to the 19 year old woman she is today.
This is one of the most incredible testimony of a Mother’s love through adversity who is now preparing for a most beautiful end for her beloved Abi as she is now in Palliative Care.
She tells of the difficulties through the Irish Medical System but how she eventually found a hospital in Drogheda prepared to listen to her and her shining knight the incredible Dr. Carlos Ramirez who saved her life remotely on one occasion with the help of the Drogheda Team.
Deborah with Abigail at peace in her final days is preparing for the end but she wants to make sure that her life will not have been in vain.
This clip is very powerful!!
