The Miracle Plant podcast with Dr Meg Lebon
[00:00:00] Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the miracle plant podcast. We have such an incredible guest that I met on this incredible app that we've all heard so much about called clubhouse. It's Dr. Megan, she's an incredible spirit laughter and joy, and I've just been, it's been such a joy to get to know her and then.
Learn more about her story. We've been on a lot of rooms on there, on of house. And here we are now on the miracle plant podcast. So welcome Dr. Megan, how are you? Hi. Thank you for having me. I was so excited about this. Absolutely. And it's just such an honor to have you you're such an expert, I'd love for you to share with the audience, what is it that you do?
And maybe explain a little bit more about that. Sure. Okay. Hello everyone. I'm in nature. Backup doctor. That means I've study four years of medicine, just like regular doctors do. Hey, step in nature, pathic medical school, our focus is really to help the person heal. And so we study additional [00:01:00] healing modalities in that vein.
For example, things like acupuncture, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, environmental medicine. Homeopathy mind, body medicine, physical medicine. And in case you're wondering physical medicine, it's like what chiropractors do, moving the bones and muscles and helping the nervous system engage in the whole body.
Anyway, that's a lot of medicine crammed into four years. And then afterwards I decided to specialize in gastroenterology, which is of course the digestive system. So anybody's like burping Loti or gassy or anything else Massey. And they're looking for me. Okay. And my second specialty is diabetes. I'm right in Atlanta now, but I do telemedicine.
So I do see patients all over the States and really all over the world. That's awesome. And we connected on clubhouse and all these incredible conversations. And I know it's like observing herbs in a couple other rooms out there that really, talk about naturopathic healing, talk about herbs and it's [00:02:00] just been an incredible, what's been your experience of clubhouse, and I got on there, I think in December because my friend, you probably remember her doctor for Landy. She's the one that told me about it. And so I got on there and I really was not expecting it to be what it has turned out to me. To be. But honestly, I think it's a great platform for people to just come together of like-mind no matter what that mind is, whether it be politics or medicine, religion, any other social issue, but business even, but they just can come together.
And what I really like about it is that. You can really glean so much information if you are truly trying to solve a problem, because in general, the way it's set up, with the rooms, obviously the people that start the room are the moderators. And most often they are already experts in their field or in whatever issue that you have gone in there.
For example, I like to go in the room about how to make a million dollars in 2021. All of the [00:03:00] moderators already millionaires. So when you ask them your questions, you're asking someone who actually is informed on that topic. And that's what I like about it. That just like the sharing and the open givingness and then once using really willing to help.
Yeah. And, because the platforms that I've been on with you in the rooms that we've shared, there's been, four or five, 600 people in the audience listening and asking their specific questions about their specific issues and health ailments and getting real advice from experts. On, what herbs might help with indigestion or what hers might help with heartburn.
And it's just been an incredible platform for people to just connect and learn from experts and build your community. And yeah, I'm so happy for clubhouse. I'm so happy we got to meet so. Yeah, it's incredible. A little, let me say a little bit about our story again, just so to refresh it for you.
How we got into the herbs and the miracle plant podcast was our son was diagnosed with a regressive [00:04:00] element of autism, a very severe and nonverbal noncommunicative. And we were very scared and overwhelmed and it's almost like a grieving process, but once we cleared the fog for ourselves, we went and looked.
To see, what we could do. And we cleaned up his diet. We did the food tests. We did the allergy tests. We looked at all the heavy metals and the pesticides that were in his system. And it was really bad because of the inflammation in his brain and his body was just so heavy and the auto-immune the zoomies.
So with a really clean diet, organic juicing and no gluten dairy, any of those things. We were able to make some serious progress. And then we came across some research with Dr. Raphael Meshulum in the sixties and seventies, and it showed us about these three letters CBD. And we tried some other products.
Didn't get the success we were looking for, but I wasn't going to give up. Cause I knew if it was working with kids with seizures, then it had to hopefully work for kids with [00:05:00] autism, physical, neurological. And so we decided to dig deeper and that's when we. Random to some research from Dr. William Courtney about raw cannabis juicing.
And that was really the game changer for us. Our son was at a pumpkin patch having a horrible time and chance for me, his hands over his ears. And then we gave him some raw, pre cold press cannabis oil. And we had made, and literally in two minutes he snapped out of the tantrum and was out picking pumpkins and playing with his sister.
And that was the beginning of us saying, okay with a great diet and a little bit of therapy and a lot of raw cannabis oil that was the secret for us. And we got them off the spectrum. He's a healthy, happy kid. And so that's our story. And I wanted to throw it back at you based on what you've seen and how you diagnose people that have autoimmune issues.
And how and why did that work for us? Cause I know you're an expert with the gut. Yeah. You know what it worked, really? This is the thing. People always healing so [00:06:00] complicated, but it really isn't. Your body was already naturally made to heal itself. As you can see if you've ever given yourself a tiny paper cut or something on your hand, and that cut is not still open and bleeding two weeks later and the body's not even wait for you.
To put on a bandaid or Neosporin anything, it will just handle it. So the body was already made to heal. However, when it gets overwhelmed, With one thing or usually an accumulation of things with adults, with kids. It's usually as one big thing like with autism, but with adults, it's accumulation of lifetime, you've been divorced.
Your parents hurt you. Then you've been beat up. There's all this. So eventually the body will then break down and need help. To restore health, but once you help eliminate the toxins and eliminate the waste, you get it, what it needs. As far as vitamins, nutrients, minerals, co-factors all that. Okay.
Additional support, like your sleep and your stress and other things, then it will then retake the reins of healing yourself. So honestly, I think it worked well with you [00:07:00] all. Because you all, probably with the food testing that you did you probably eliminated all of the toxins that really were mucking up his system because there's this thing that we have in medicine, that the gut is like the second brain.
So if you are feeding your gut, which remember feeds the rest of you, your heart. Lungs everything brain. Okay. If that gut is so disjointed and the complete disrepair, you cannot expect to be healthy. If you are poisoning yourself and probably you all have seen success with your son, because you remove those toxins and again, allowed his body than a break from literally like beating it with a hammer.
You give it a break. He was able to bounce back then when you added the cannabis to it. That is a great herb for that. And so then it just helped further enhance the relief efforts that his body was already trying to do. Yeah. Bravo, I grabbed you guys look for some stuff to do. That's excellent. I'm glad to do that.
I was raised to listicle. My mom was a flower child from the sixties, [00:08:00] so we definitely knew about plant based medicine and we we were able to be tapped in. So looking for answers for things that came out of the ground versus test tubes. So we were tapped into that early on. What other things would you advise for someone who has an auto-immune disease?
Are there specific herbs that you've seen that work for? Anti-inflammation for example, we have a product called alleviate X that has a little white Willow bark. It's an organic extract that helps with pain and inflammation. What are some of your favorite herbs that you've seen over the years? My favorite herbs, to be honest, I have maybe two or three.
One of them is cayenne pepper. I love cayenne pepper and not the cheesy kind you can get in the grocery store. The real guy is ever the kind that Dr. Schultz makes his, I think is like 250,000 heat units. And the normal, like cayenne pepper, any pepper might be 30,000 or something. When they make this February, she tries to make it.
Like in the science lab on the is, so it's not too hot. So I love that. [00:09:00] But what I love that it's still. So it's a powerful circulatory stimulant. So if your blood is not moving, that will move your blood is also chronotropic. And my own nootropic chronotropic means that it will make your heartbeat at the time.
It should be then as in not too fast and not too slow, but then I own a topic means it makes each contraction count more efficiently, meaning something, getting all the floater beats, but really strongly. And if you want to hear story about the power of cayenne pepper, one time. I had a patient. She had a stroke before she was my patient.
She'd had a stroke. So her daughter called me and the patient was still in the hospital. Okay. So I went there to visit her there in the hospital and, basically. She had this stroke, but they were unable to really give her anything to treat it. Why? Because first of all, the stroke was in a very delicate area in her brain.
Secondly, when you give the stroke treatment, TPA [00:10:00] is such a strong drug. That if you get too much, you can actually push them into hemorrhagic bleeding. So they really did not feel they could do anything for her stroke except place or in the Trendelenburg position. And if you know what that is, that's when you're lying with your feet are up and then your head is down and that's it.
And if you think this is the 12th week, The 21st and I was messed up anyway, this is the time we're living in. And all they can do to help you with a stroke is literally to hang you upside down in your bed. To me, I thought that was ridiculous. So I went to the hospital, we got at the bar the door a little bit, but I wouldn't have been, I did some acupuncture on there.
And that helped because it, you could see her face, Jen and everything. And they were like, wow it was awful. Awesome. Okay. But, so again, they couldn't do anything for her. So the discharge her, so she went on like the next day. Okay. I get this frantic call from her daughter the next day. Megan, Dr.
Maggie document. What did I do? Mom's face is bunching up again. Just like he did when she had the [00:11:00] other stove. I don't know what you was talking to me now. She won't respond. I don't know what to do. I don't want to take his hospital. Didn't do anything last time. I, and honestly, I will scare myself to new doctors and that was like years ago.
I don't know that 2011. That was like, when I was just graduated. I was afraid myself, but then I did think of cayenne pepper. It came to my mind cayenne pepper. I said, okay. So originally when I was having a drink, the guy in, I was having her put it into some water to dilute it, but I was like, look, I wonder I've no stroke on my last unit.
So I was like, we'll just take that Dr. Mills guy in it's liquid guy. And so he has a powder too, but this one was the liquid one. I said, pour that dropper full under her tongue. Stay on the phone with me and tell me what happens in five minutes. First of all, amazing, you didn't stay on the phone with Mr.
Got off. It just cut me off. I hung up. She did though. She did that. Okay. After 15 minutes, I was about to go preserve let's go now. Cause make it. So she called me. She was like, you won't believe this? She said mom's face was all twisted up. Like the last time. First I gave her [00:12:00] that kind and of course she started screaming cause it's barely odd.
There's a bowl dropper full. So she's like first she started screaming and buttery. But after that she just calmed down. She said she started talking again, the responding her lips. Just move all the way back down again. Jeez. Oh, look at that on Jerry Springer, just watching TV again. So that was awesome. I love I have ever, I also liked ginger, especially for digestion.
That's a very good one. And then what's my, the third, or I don't know that I have a third may. Those are my two faves. Great. We're going to get cannabis to be your third favorite. What what kind of questions do you have? I know you've been taking diligent notes with Dr. Lakeesha and myself and other cannabis experts on clubhouse, any questions you have or anything that you've learned that you'd yes, please.
Thank you. Now I know you all told me before on clubhouse. The benefits of cannabis specifically to the GI, since that is my specialty. But if you don't mind, I really would like you to just go over it with me, because I just noticed that I [00:13:00] still feel like it's so really all the different diseases that can help with GI diseases.
How at the end, I'm fine. Whatever. Just tell me what it does please. It does all of those things. First and foremost, the number one reason that people use cannabis or they come to us is for pain and inflammation. And with the body, obviously, as with inflammation, from processed foods, refined sugars and toxins and everything else that we consume this day and age is reducing inflammation, allows the body to.
Do what it's supposed to do. Like you said, when you were younger, you got to cut the field itself. So the biggest thing with cannabis is that when it's taken in it's whole plant and raw form is the way we do it with like cold pressing, like other herbs and essential oils is that we have seen that it has this synergistic effect of communicating with the body that allows it to find homeostasis.
So whether it's, getting a good night's sleep or eating right, or exercising or being mindful. Those things all help the body to find homeostasis and this cannabis [00:14:00] plant, when it is taken in it's, whole plant form. It's just has an amazing ability to regulate the body because the endocannabinoid system, which is within all of our bodies is just set up to receive them.
And the endocannabinoid system, it helps regulate all of the other systems within the body. So it's really, it's just a real, adapter and it just really helps modulate and make everything in the body of work, the way that it's supposed to work. In fact, our own bodies. Actually make CBD in the form of two dash a G.
Yeah. So it's actually, we can make it endogenously. That's the endo cannabinoid system. So it can be made within our own bodies as two dash G. Or we can get it from other plants and vegetables like cannabis, kale, broccoli, and CBD cannabinoids are also found in human breast milk. So it's really a fascinating plant and it's, that's why we call it the miracle plant and combining it with other herbs for specific elements has just been so powerful for [00:15:00] us.
And we look forward to learning more from you and. And collaborating, and it's just incredible what this that we're all here talking. Cause it was incredible platform.
Yeah, that is awesome. One more question. I know that cannabis has a lot of different I guess phytonutrients, meaning just like CBD THC and CBD egg, all that. So can you maybe explain to me just a little bit. How about the differences between patients though? Yeah. So again, the most popular cannabinoids within the plan and there's over a hundred cannabinoids, like CBD and THC CBDA and CBGA, so there's a well over a hundred and the ones that are most researched, just THC.
And CBD, but all of those other cannabinoids all work together like a symphony. So if you're just highlighting like one violinist or one trumpet player they may be a good, individually, but when you have them play together with all of the other cannabinoids, [00:16:00] that's when the synergistic healing of what's called the entourage effect really kicks in.
So CBD has been known and researched a lot for, like I said, for pain and inflammation. People have certainly used it for anxiety. They've also used it for they've used it for sleep help with sleep AIDS, but then again, so it's so much more than just the. The one particular cannabinoid THC has been researched to help with, glaucoma with nausea and certainly with appetite.
So every cannabinoid has a little bit different profile, but the biggest difference is that, we just have started researching the plant. So what someone who might think that it's the THC that's helping with the appetite. In fact, if you're using the entire plant in the whole plant extraction, then you're getting a little bit of THC, but you're also getting the CBD, the CBG we see in all of those other ones, they're all in there.
[00:17:00] And so it's just a matter of, finding. For us, it's you, once you find the right Avenue that works best for you and for us, it was CBDA. So the raw version of CBD our plants are mostly made up of CBDA. There is a little bit of THCA in there, which is non-psychoactive and it has to be less than 0.3%.
There's a little bit of CBG. There's a little bit of CBC. So the other cannabinoid that we've seen some research on it, like CBG. As the mother can have as the plant comes out of the ground, it is all the seedling is all CBGA, as it grows over, based on the genetics of the plant, it will turn to the left and become a CBD or hemp plant, or it can turn to the right based on the genetics and become a THCA plant or what we call in this country, marijuana, which is really just a slang term that was made up in 1937.
So it's all cannabis. Cannabis is the name of the plant. So those are the different ones that the most popular CBD. And we are [00:18:00] CBDA, which stands for acidic form, which is the raw form of CBD and THC Delta nine, which is the heated up or decarboxylated version of THCA, which does have psychoactive.
Properties, which give people, that, that high feeling. So those are the ones that are researched the most, but over time, we're going to be able to see how many more of these plants are actually it's so much more than just those cannabinoids and we haven't even talked about the flavanoids like cannot believe in a or the turpines.
I just I'm sure. Very much. We're also starting to see. That the turpines are more important when it comes to the feeling that we get, because the turpines deliver those cannabinoids like CBD and THC into certain parts of the brain, as you well know, like lavender. And so it's incredible. This plant is brilliant and perfect exactly the way it is, but the more and more we learn about it and matching particular varieties of [00:19:00] plant with particular issues it's just going to be absolutely nuts.
Wow. That's really interesting. So yeah, I know they always talk about the psychoactive component, which I think is the THC, right? Isn't that right? To one. And yeah, but so then you mentioned him. So if people are drinking something like hemp milk, which is something that I do recommend, it's an alternative, like dairy milk, for example, which I'm not really a fan of.
How much like of that plant or they even get and cannabis, are they getting from an extract, like making it to help milk? And so hemp milk obviously comes from the hemp seeds and they haven't seeds are incredible. All of our products use seed oil, organic hemp, seed oil as the carrier oil that we use.
And it's got all 21 acids. It has a perfect balance of Omega three to Omega six fatty acids, your three part or mega three to one part, Omega six. It's the closest thing to human breast milk. That's on the [00:20:00] planet. So it's just incredible. Milk is, are awesome, and we also like it said, use the hemp seed oil organically made cold pressed and it's fantastic.
You're not going to get a lot of cannabinoids. But there's, you're going to get all of those under the wonderful properties as well. So w we would recommend to, and we'd love to help people. We can send them seeds for free every order placed on our website. We we'll just put in the notes. Hey, I want some hemp seeds and we'll send you some hemp seeds to grow in your backyard and also show you a video of how to Grow them and help people grow them in your backyard.
Cause then when you grow them in your backyard, like tomatoes or other herbs, you can just clip the flowers with the Leafs and everything and throw it in your juicer and your morning juice like you did with celery or kale or apples carrots. And we used an Omega juicer. And with our son still. Gets that every morning, the whole family drinks, the same juice.
And we use some of our product, our cold pressed hemp oil. And then we also will throw the fresh [00:21:00] flowers in as well. So that's, it's incredible. The whole plan is the key though, just as yeah. Okay. That sounds good. Listen, I know that cannabis. Has been demonized all over the us and rightfully so in my opinion.
But so now I'm in Georgia. So what recourse do my patients have here, or really anywhere that marijuana cannabis is not legal to get quality products. Whether it's the, see, I see you guys. You said you sell the seeds on your website? What about this oil you said to use, or even the arrest of the French plant Jews?
Can they even get it if it's not legal? So our products are because they have less than 0.3% THC. All of our products are legal in all 50 States and we actually ship internationally too. So as long as the THC is less than 0.3, it's completely legal. To, to ship anywhere. So you and I think I've got some going out [00:22:00] to you.
Have you received them yet? I did. I just got it today. Thank you. And you didn't really have to send me this much. This is the lie and don't worry. I'll plan on using it myself. I will always like to use things, test things on myself before I go to the phases to do it, and I definitely have a few things I need to work on with the house.
So yeah, this one says boostokay. So it looks like this one has hemp extract. Okay. Yeah. Hemp seed, American gin, Zang. I like that. Or orange and lemon flavor, Stevia. And then I also got this one, which was chill X. Okay. And that one has. Again, the hemp seed oil. Oh. Passion for our knife. Okay. And then I got a third one, the third one here, guys, if you want to hear this, one's called alleviate ex Blackberry cobbler.
Now that one has have the empty door. Oh, the white Mubarak. Okay. Yeah. You know why Willow? In [00:23:00] nature, graphic medicine is Latin. No I'm going off there. You said it was after the alarm went off on my phone. Anyway, I might, I don't know. Can you still, okay, good. Here I am now. Yeah. So that white little will be like that because in Latin, that sailors and that is aspirin is really good for pain, and I liked that. So definitely I am definitely going to try these apps and guys, he also sent me, this was so thoughtful, a nice little deodorant. It's a roll on for pain, but it's a roll-on for paint. I've been not as fresh as I would've liked lately. I'm very thankful for you sending me this.
And so what is your website? So I can send people there in case they get something the best website right now . Those products, you can go to one Oh one hemp.org, the one here on the website, okay. Go to that website. You can. Www one Oh one hemp.org.
. I got your website and I'm definitely [00:24:00] now going to recommend, my patients go there because like you had, I think you guys had told me before that Cannabis is really good as an anti-medic and obviously it's anti-inflammatory so that would be there's so many inflammatory bowel disease.
Not so many there's two, but then there's irritable bowel syndrome too. Then beause is constipated. In general, GI is just hot and angry. So this would be a great thing. And I guess you guys must have quite a selection on your website as far as oils or juices or whatever. So I'm going to definitely keep that and keep people, let them know.
Cause I really always thought that. You couldn't get cannabis, cause it wasn't legal everywhere. And I know there's a lot of implications with people having to become like refugees for the, get the medical treatment and all that. So I'm glad to know now that they can get your products and that's really good.
I'm glad to know that. Thank you. Thanks. Absolutely. Thanks for hopping on. Thanks for coming on the show and I can't wait to see you soon in another clubhouse room. And we'll see you really soon. . [00:25:00] So once again, thanks for coming on. And joining us on the miracle plant podcast. I do want to read one of our reviews that we have. This one is. Thank goodness for this platform. What a blessing to have the ability to hear stories of people and families who have benefited from this miracle plant called cannabis.
We need to spread the word. That people don't have to take nasty medications with tons of side effects to heal hemp in its raw form can do wonders to balance and heal your body and mind. Thank you Justin, for making this happen. That's from love my baby girl. So thank you everybody. Make sure you share this out like this.
We just want people to hear these stories and understand the power of plants, especially this miracle plant with so many names that so misunderstood. So until next time, thanks for joining us on the miracle plant podcast, and we'll see you next week. Take care, everybody.
