CBD gave me the relief I needed to take a deep breath and step back from my situation.
Ethan Pompeo's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Diagnosed with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) as a child, he found himself trapped in a cycle of over 40 prescription medications. Each new drug brought more side effects than relief, leaving him frustrated and desperate for a solution. In this episode, Ethan shares his transformative experience with CBD and how it helped him reclaim his health and life. Joined by hosts Clare Waismann, David Livingston, and Dr.
Michael Lowenstein, Ethan discusses the challenges he faced and the turning point that led him to explore alternative treatments. You'll hear about his initial scepticism, the trial and error with various medications, and the ultimate discovery of CBD's powerful anti-inflammatory properties. The conversation also touches on the stigma surrounding CBD, the importance of healthcare professionals listening to their patients, and the broader implications of Ethan's story for those struggling with similar issues.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in alternative health solutions, especially those who feel stuck in the prescription cycle. It's a compelling narrative of resilience, self-discovery, and the quest for genuine healing.
