K<\/span>aden Hartman\u00a0has been denied life-saving medical treatment after his mother used legal CBD oil to help with his seizures. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not the first time a child has been denied medical treatment after using CBD oil to treat the symptoms of an illness or the side-effects of pharmaceuticals. But, once again, there is a debate among medical professionals and the caregivers of people suffering from its use. Hartman is one of fewer than a thousand cases diagnosed with a rare disease \u2014 Niemann-Pick disease type C, or NPC, also called children\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n The disease sees those children with the condition deteriorate, both physically and mentally, at a rapid pace. Symptoms include seizures, loss of mobility and problems with communication. Most people diagnosed with Niemann-Pick disease<\/a> won\u2019t live past the age of 20.<\/p>\n Hartman was diagnosed with the disease at 5. Since 2015, Hartman has been receiving experimental treatment at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University. The treatment, according to his mother, has been slowing down the progression of some of his symptoms.<\/p>\n The treatment means that twice a month Hartman has a spinal infusion of Cyclodextrin, which, while not approved by the FDA to treat illnesses, has been used as an experimental treatment for a handful of NPC patients. And while Cyclodextrin has had a positive effect on some of his symptoms, his seizures have become more frequent.<\/p>\n After seeing her son have up to 20 seizures a day, Hartman decided to treat the symptoms with CBD oil<\/a> \u2013 all under the supervision of his neurologists.\u00a0Gov. Ralph Northam, who treated Hartman before he entered politics, prescribed CBD oil for the boy in 2015, the year CBD became legal in Virginia.<\/p>\n Not only did it reduce the number of seizures, it also meant Hartman avoided the negative side-effects that come with anti-seizure medication.<\/p>\n That all came to end when the family received a letter from the hospital treating Hartman,\u00a0stating<\/a> that he was being taken off the study \u2014 and Cyclodextrin \u2014 if he continued to use CBD oil.<\/p>\n \u201cYour son is on CBD oil,\u201d Hartman\u2019s mother told High Times<\/a>. \u201cHe is terminated from the clinical trial. Don\u2019t bother ever showing up again.\u201d<\/p>\n A young boy is being denied the treatment that could prolong his life, all because of the use of a legal, natural supplement that is improving his quality of life. \u201cI didn\u2019t think it would be this hard,\u201d his mother said<\/a>. \u201cI just want what\u2019s best for my child.\u201d<\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>, have you had negative feedback from using CBD oil?<\/p>\n The post Hospital Denies Life-Saving Treatment For Using CBD Oil<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
