. [00:00:00] Welcome back to the miracle plant podcast, where we discuss this miracle plant with so many names and how it's helping people in so many extraordinary ways.
Well, today we have our cohost Dan, the man homocysteine and my mom, Janet Fenton gala. And then Tara is even swinging by and we're going to talk about the most common questions that we get on a daily basis. About CBD and hemp and cannabis, there is just so much confusion and there's a lot of information out there and some of it's accurate and some of it's not.
So we're going to answer the most common questions that we get, and we'll start it off with, can you get high from CBD? Anybody want to take a stab at that? I'm always eager to talk. Um, and Justin is right when we first started, uh, the company, the [00:01:00] major question I constantly got from everybody was trying to explain to them the difference between the marijuana plant with a higher THC levels and then the hemp plant with the lower, uh, THC levels.
And now that. I rarely ever in fact is here that, um, and so the big question, especially if you're, if you're older or if you have a job where you're getting tested, or if you have children, uh, there, I say like, can I get high from this? And then some people are actually looking to get high. So I say no. Um, but again, to just keep in mind that the federal law for CBD.
Less than 0.3. So less than three tenths of a percent can be THC levels. And you have to have like, third-party testing to show that. So realistically you simply cannot get high. Uh, if you go by at a dispensary where you're focused on the THC or marijuana aspect of it, um, it can have up to 20, 30% THC. And so compare that to three [00:02:00] tenths of 1%.
I would say an issue of are drinking a whole bottle at a time, even then you wouldn't get much. Uh, also my general answer is no. I always clarify too. Like for instance, in California, the Navy who has a base in Eros has been this doesn't allow it, even though it's federally legal. So I always say, well, if you're from the Navy, just don't even bother.
It's not worth any kind of problem. And I often discuss people to a policeman or the different people that have testing, but no, the basic answer is no, you cannot get high. And I remind people too, that we created it for my grandson when he was three turning four. And so believe me, it is safe and effective, or we would not be giving it to him then and continuing to give it to him now.
So just in the, I do not worry, um, unless you're under very special circumstances like being in the Navy or something who just has no zero tolerance. Um, other than that, do not worry about. And you can also get yourself tested if you're concerned, the only time I've ever seen it, come up on a test. It's like at pain [00:03:00] clinics where they do super in-depth testing and even then any kind of knowledgeable person at a pain clinic or an employer, they can recognize that, oh, you have some CBD of use of CBD topical range.
Versus if you're smoking marijuana. And for instance, one task was a scale up to a thousand and a guy came in at 15. Um, and actually the employer called me and so many, many people understand those nuances now. So basic answer is no, you can't get high. And if you're looking to get high or the properties of THC, then you do need to go to a dispensary and get your products there.
So the answer's no, except to talk, sorry. Knowledge and people. Yeah. Well, everyone looks at everything differently. That's for sure. Some people love the, uh, uh, they, they want to know what time it is and they look at their watch and some people want to know how that watch works. Some people want to take a test drive and I'm stat gas.
Some people want to know how that [00:04:00] carburetor fires. So, uh, but that's all the, the, the, a lot of specific information cause look, CBD cannabidiol is made in our own bodies and under their name to dash AIG, which is a really, really long word. And so they shortened it. It's also, cannabinoids are found in human breast milk along with other animals it's found in kale.
It's found in broccoli along with 25 other fruits and vegetables. So can you get high from CBD cannabis? So what CBD stands for the answer is no, you cannot get high from CBD. It is non psychoactive is the word that is used a lot. You can also say none. Um, psychedelic, you can say, won't get you stoned or high, and, uh, you can use a non psychotropic as well.
If you want to get real fancy and try and win a scramble a puzzle game. So that's the top question that we get a lot. Will I get high from CBD? The next question. That we get a lot, uh, [00:05:00] about CBD is, um, what's the difference between CBD and hemp. And we can expand that between what's the difference between CBD hemp, cannabis and marijuana.
And, uh, I'll take the first swing at that one. So CBD, which stands for cannabidiol. Comes from the cannabis plant. Now the cannabis plant has many different forms. That's the name of the plant cannabis and one of those varieties and our country of the United States, we define it at 0.3% THC at cannabis plant at 0.3% THC or below, it's called the.
That's what we've been growing for hundreds of years on this continent. And, uh, George Washington actually grew it and he grew it to fight off the British army. Believe it or not. We brought some hemp seeds over from Asia and made gunpowder out of them. Uh, we also use it for [00:06:00] ropes and sales and clothes and textiles and facts.
Thomas Jefferson, even. Growing hemp and having hemp as an agricultural product is a matter of national security because it's so useful in so many different ways. So that is what hemp is. And hemp is high in many cases in CBD. And so that's where CBD, which stands for cannabidiol comes from, it comes from most, in most cases, most of the time from the hemp plant, which has a variety of cases.
And you can use it for industrial things like textiles and rope and clothes and paper and even batteries. Um, and you can also eat it as a dietary essential as Dr. William Courtney's talked about, and you can also take it in an extracted form. Or products that one-on-one hemp.org, um, for medicinal reasons or health concerns or issues, or just staying healthy.
Uh, and so the difference [00:07:00] between, um, CBD and hemp is that CBD comes from hemp. Hemp is a cannabis plant. And the other, a cannabis plant that people ask about in our country is called marijuana, uh, which was a name they made up in 1937 to pass the marijuana tax act, uh, finding some slang term from. To confuse and scare people to pass the bill and they did it successfully.
So they use the word marijuana too, in our country. It's in the books, legal term to, um, defines anything that's over 0.3% THC. And in many cases like my mom alluded to the THC levels can be anywhere from 2030, and even some cases 40. T H C a M in that plant. And that plant is what we call in this country, marijuana, but it is all cannabis, whether it's.
Or marijuana, it's all the same plant. It's just a matter of how much THC is in the plant. And that THC is really the only [00:08:00] psychoactive or part of the plant that will get you high. Now here's a little fun fact. If you were to eat raw marijuana that was high in THCA, you would not get high. Try asking your bud tender that one.
The next time you go to a dispensary, I would love to hear the answers from that. Anyone else want to weigh in on the common question we get, which is what's the difference between CBD hemp, cannabis and marijuana. I just have one quick comment. I promise. Um, just in general in America, I've discovered that the word cannabis in about 75 dash 80 plus percent of people to them cannabis makes marijuana.
And so even though technically hemp is a type of cannabis, just in our common language in America, cannabis is most people are talking about marijuana. So I often make that distinction, uh, when people come into the shop or whatever, I'm talking to people that just to emphasize the word hemp, because the word cannabis again, too, [00:09:00] it's not descriptive enough for people to realize, oh, it's both hemp and marijuana.
People just think marijuana. So I'm always very careful to point out that it is hemp. And our products are, and that we focus on. I just want it to just tell you this right quick. Um, Justin and Janet, um, I have a suggestion to, for random ambassadors. I found a actual, um, uh, image that kind of breaks down, um, the cannabis and that's something that.
I feel that it's really hard to explain. It gets more scientific for people that don't know, you know, about cannabis and hemp and all that. They're just so confused out there. But I actually found the little, um, image that has, you know, it has to say as cannabis at the top and it said it has two species and then it takes the plant.
And then it has a little line drawing species one, which is. Contains, um, 20% plus CBD contains less than [00:10:00] 0.3% of TAC. And then it has another line and it has species two, which is the marijuana plant contains, um, 10%, uh, plus, uh, CBD contains more than 20% of THC. So I've been actually sharing that on my social media.
And, um, I shared it with my friend whose mom actually has a consultation coming up with you, Janet. And she was saying, oh my God, she was like, this makes it so much easier for me to understand. She was like, cause I'm just completely confused. Like if the hemp isn't marijuana, is it, what is it? So it was basically just saying, Hey, this is the.
And it has two species. This is just one side of the species. This is the second side of species. So maybe we can get, you know, some type of imaging and we can share that on one-on-one CBD and one-on-one, uh, and we actually do. So I have many, many PowerPoints and images and stuff I do when I give talks.
And so yes, I have one that does clearly like here's the four descriptors or happiest afforded [00:11:00] descriptors for marijuana. And when I used to the very beginning, when everybody had that question here in. I would describe it as two types of dogs. They're both dogs, one's a German shepherd and one's a poodle.
And it was always find a pointing to this side of the room for the HAMP, my imaginary plants or whatever. Um, but yes, that's one reason too. I wanted to add in some more of the brand ambassadors into this as, because we can do more specific training and I can also send some of that over to have Kristin put it into the, uh, information that's sent to brand ambassadors.
I think that would definitely be a great one to share. You know, the world is changing and people are learning more about cannabis and they do have more common questions. So this is, this is a great topic. And, um, I, I wish more Brandon basketballs was actually in the room right now. Uh, totally agreed next.
Yeah, this is very interesting. Yeah. That maybe we can make that part of something they get rewarded for is attending this or, you know, reading it. And I'm also working on just having an [00:12:00] actual. Uh, information like different PowerPoints or talks, and then having them take a quiz at the end so that they can show that they have the basic knowledge.
Janet, I really liked that using, suggesting that or comparing cannabis to dogs because that, to, to comment on what Latasha just said, I run into that a lot. A lot of times when I'm explaining it to my, for instance, my mom's friend. And there, they just, they just can't grasp the concept that this is a dog and there are all these different types of dogs.
And some of these dogs are high in CBD and really low in THC. And some of the dogs are really high in THC and not so high in CBD. And the one in the, the dogs with high CBD, low THC, you can't get high with me. They can't, I love that. I think that's a great comparison because it makes. For some reason, people just can't get their head around the [00:13:00] fact that there's more than one plant or war than one species within the cannabis, under the cannabis umbrella, because of what they've been taught.
Kind of what Justin has said. When you look at the term marijuana, that that's the negative context. So for me, I think that it's definitely very important to highlight the difference between the sub species within the plant. Definitely making the point that this is cannabis. This is not a marijuana plant.
It's a cannabis plant. The plant that you're working with is another species of cannabis plant. Just as you have an apple, you have red apples, you have granny Smith, apples, you have, you know, um, there's, there's all types of different apples, you know? So people just have to understand that there's a variety of, and it's our duty to teach them, especially if we're going to be educators and leaders, we have to have to do our due diligence and teaching them the difference.
And we can't just run [00:14:00] with society. Um, thought process and like, oh, well this is what they just think. Well, it started duty to guide them in the right direction. Um, me as a community leader, that's, that's the role that I take on. So I take on that. That's wonderful. And again, to our media, so controls, everybody's thinking.
And so again, to sadly though, scientifically hemp and marijuana both go under cannabis, it just seems like the cannabis has been kind of pushed over into meaning marijuana. And so that's why, so often I have to explain that difference. And I think we all do, especially, like we talked about, Dan's talking about an older generation or just people that are totally unaware of it, that there is a difference.
And so now it's a very basic topic, but again too, obviously a huge topic that we still have a lot of information to clarify with people. Okay. Absolutely. And, and Darlene, you're on stage here as well. We're recording live the miracle plant podcasts where you find your apple and Spotify podcasting. [00:15:00] And I know Darlene, you're a little new to the CBD game.
Or at least you're new to our CBDA game. Um, do you have some of these questions? Are these. Any clarity to you. Um, do you still have questions about the topics that we're talking about or a question along those lines? Hi everybody. This is Darlene. I'm from Florida, the bipolar state, and I'm here to Crow with y'all.
Um, I've been in the CBS. The space since about 2019. And I came in late, not heard, y'all talking about testing positive and negative. And after six months of taking a CBD, I went to the doctors and I asked him, I said, when are you going to give me another, um, what do you call it? A test to see whether you're on drugs or whatever.
And, um, Well, probably next month, I guess he was just trying to, you know, just throw that out there. But I said, now I [00:16:00] want you to give me one now, and then I lay up, but you've never had anybody ask for a test and, um, anybody. So that was funny, but I, he did give me a test. And next month, when I went to the doctors, he told me it came back showing nothing.
So I'm sure I'm sure that probably doesn't happen with everybody. I'm sure some people might show positive, but I didn't. And like I said, I just want to share that with y'all. Yeah. That's a great question. And, and, and I'm glad you were to share that because that was really where I was leading. That is the top three questions.
So that's number three. So you led into it perfectly, um, will I fail a drug test? And like you just said and explained in your situation. Um, you didn't test positive, but not all CBD is created equal. And so we need to make sure that you know, how much THC is in your product. There's different types of products.
There's these things called [00:17:00] isolates, which if you think of the word isolate, it means they isolate all of them. The CBD compound. And it turns into this white powder from a green beautiful plant. And it is just one single molecule of CBD, uh, which has no other cannabinoids, no other flavonoids, no other terpenoids, um, no other chlorophyll or other, anything it's just CBD.
And so, um, that is something that you can. Um, with utmost confidence that you won't fail a drug test because unfortunately, even though cannabis is legal in, uh, 30 some odd states, um, it is still, uh, in many of those states considered something that can prevent you from getting a job or even losing. Uh, some states are coming along quicker than others like New York.
Um, and other states out there in cities will not even [00:18:00] allow you to test for it as an employer. So I applaud those efforts because as we all know, THC can stay in the fatty cells of the body for anywhere from, you know, weeks in some cases, even months. So, um, will you fail a drug test? It depends. What kind of CBD and how much you're taking broad spectrum is the next one.
After I say. Broad spectrum. They denature the plant and they cook off and play chemistry like breaking bad and eliminate, uh, the THC. And, uh, so then it's going to have mostly CBD. And maybe if you other cannabinoids in there, it depends on the extraction process or what type of chemical reactions they were using to the plant.
And so that one broad spectrum is another one that in theory has other cannabinoids in. Um, but has really, really, almost no THC in there. And so that's another one that people I know [00:19:00] have taken that, uh, are concerned if they're like an air, if they're an air force or the military or airplane pilot, the FAA is pretty strict about that.
And, uh, so that's another one. And then there's, what's called full spectrum. Now that's a term that has a lot of definitions, right? Nobody's federally regulating that term. And the FDA has continued to drag its feet for very logical reasons, as they always say, follow the money. And they have not, as of yet had a clear pathway for a legal agricultural crop, such as to have us figure out a way that we can start making products.
Just like if we were with corn or soybeans or anything else. Right now there, they have not made a final just understanding framework for us to continue to make our products so they could be on the shelves of every grocery store across the country, um, in a very legal fashion. [00:20:00] So that full spectrum, um, what it technically means is that you've got like a full spectrum of light.
Every color, every shade of light is represented in a full spectrum. So I full spectrum. Cannabinoids and the cannabis or hemp plant would have every cannabinoid that, that plant has every terpene, every flavanoid, every fatty acid, every single part of that plant would be represented and for a true full spectrum, the only way to truly have a full spectrum of cannabis is to consume the entire plant.
So that's what we make when we understand what full spectrum. Which is, we always say whole plant, true full spectrum to get everything that this plant has created with inside of it. Unfortunately, there are other, um, it's not regulated. And so there are companies out there that say full spectrum, and really it's just one part eight, or, you know, a little bit of CBD [00:21:00] and a little bit of THC and maybe a little bit of something else, but it's just not regulated.
So, um, If you do have full spectrum, there is that up to 0.3% THC. And if you take a whole bunch of it, cause you're fighting cancer, there's a chance it could show up on a, on a, on a drug screen. And like my mom alerted to earlier, you can get your own drug screen at CVS for about 15 bucks. And, um, and everyone has to make their priorities.
Right? What is your priority? If you're fighting a life-threatening disease, like. I'm pretty sure you don't really care if you come up a little hot on a THC scan. Um, if you're in a job where they do random drug testing, um, my recommendation would be to best understand your employee's policy, your employer's policy and the state's policies on THC testing.
They are coming along [00:22:00] slowly, but. And not allowing states where recreational or adult use cannabis is legal for them to be testing for that cannabinoid THC in someone's system, because you could have, you know, participated or taken some THC two weeks ago at a Leonard Skinner in concert and taken a drug test or screen two weeks later.
And it's possible that that still would be in your school. So that just doesn't make any sense, not to mention when you're living in a state like California and you're walking down the street, there's secondhand TA she smoking everywhere. You go, even at a stoplight. So that's, those are the differences of whether or not you'll test hot or show up.
It's certainly can, I can count on one hand, uh, over the five, six years that I've been in this space. I'm selling products as retail, wholesale, bulk, and international, where it has come up. Um, when something like that does come up, like I said, it's [00:23:00] usually cancer or someone's taking an extremely high level of, um, cannabinoids to, uh, fight off what it is that they're fighting or, um, it's a false positive.
Uh, we see that a lot when they test again, it does not come back. And on the rare case where it does come back, um, we always stand behind our products. We have cos on all of our products, as we suggest you do with all of the products that you consume to make sure they are third party lab tested. And you understand exactly what it is, is in there.
And I would go one step further. I would say you should do get lab testing on every apple you eat. And every piece of lettuce and every restaurant you go to because people are so onto the lab test results in third party, which I think is great for him, but it's not even legal to use pesticides with him, but I think it's great.
And I think you should take that mantra and pass it on to every single thing you put in your body. 'cause if you don't know what's on that plant or on that [00:24:00] apple, then chances are, there could be a whole bunch of heavy metals and a whole bunch of pesticides and a whole bunch of toxins that you just don't want.
So I would encourage you as you're looking for that organic CLA for the cannabis products that you consume, that you do that with the food that you eat, that would be my 2 cents. So anyone else want to weigh in on, can you flag hot for us taking CBD products?
Uh, you know, Justin, I was going to maybe dovetail off of that because I know another question that I get is
will this affect anything that I'm any other medicine that I'm taking right now? So after we solve this or answer this question, let's roll right into that because it kind of, it kind of is somewhat. Absolutely. And I know my mom would probably love to do, ah, you bet. You know, it's [00:25:00] another one of those top questions that we get.
And so just a couple things to explain and again, to our company is CBD a and it's like cold extracted. So it remains CBDA the form of the plant mix itself. And then it also, um, just by that fact, Makes it healthier in a sense. And then also when you use our recommended dosing, where you put it under your tongue and leave it for the five to seven minutes, it enters your body.
Sublingually probably going through the membrane under your tongue, directly into the sublingual gland, where then the blood flow was strong there, picks it up. And so it works much more quickly. It goes quickly into the receptors and 20 to 40 minutes. And so then it's directly at the receptors. Uh, drug interactions happen in the.
And so if you're like sweat, eating gummies or capsules, or if you are taking your CBD and just swallowing it within a minute or. Then you have to wait for it to go through your liver and stomach and then into the liver for any [00:26:00] interaction even to happen. And the majority of interactions happen in the liver are between medications that are pharmaceuticals that are not natural things.
Our body recognizes our bodies. Haven't evolved to recognize all the interesting pharmaceuticals and the different drugs people take. Almost like 90, some high, 90% of any kind of interaction is one chemical in one medication and another chemical in another medication, or they have you on medications for those side effects.
And so the raw plant CBDA is so close to like eating a salad or juicing something and drinking it. That there's just a very, very low chance of any sort that is going to have any kind of problem in that liver and that liver interaction. Um, so again, to the only research in that area was a study done by GW pharma when they were developing their Epidiolex, which is like a one molecule synthetic copy of a seizure medication.
And they implied, there were [00:27:00] some issue with liver problems and all the other research shows not true. And it was also super high dose. Um, just synthetic, uh, CBD. So again too, there's no research out there on pub med or anywhere showing any side effects or problems or drug interactions, uh, especially with the raw CBD, a taken sublingually.
And so we feel very, very confident in our product in terms of that, not being a problem, uh, as Americans we're so used to being on drugs and watching for the side effects. Are going to the physician's desk reference and trade to drug out there there's three or four pages of finally written little tiny things of all the side effects.
So we're always looking for side effects. But that is not the case at all. With Betsy, the raw whole plant CBD that we produce, it is just literally like eating a plant. And so I do not see side effects that sort of side effects. We often joke that the side effects are your A1C will be better balanced your blood pressure and cholesterol be better balanced.
You'll feel [00:28:00] calmer and happier. I mean, literally, uh, the side effects are, you will be helpful. And then again, too, as judge Justin mentioned earlier, the CBD a mimics a cannabinoid, the body makes called two-way G, which isn't every cell of the body. So literally body recognizes it, instantly him spin around with our body.
We've evolved together with the hemp plant, which is why we have receptors for it that we don't have for any other plant, like ashwagandha or tumeric or whatever. Um, so it's an incredibly safe plant that our body recognizes and knows how to is. And therefore there's not side effects or bad interactions.
And I do know that on the liver study that they, uh, fortunately a lot of us got together and the hemp and, uh, community. And we did our own study to debunk that crazy study, where they were giving lab mice, you know, 10 times their weight in CBD infusions and said, oh, for some reason, their liver is not seem to be working as well.
Well, everything has an LD 50 except cannabis and an LD. [00:29:00] 50 means if you take too much of it, you can die. And that even includes water. And so, um, that was debunked. In fact of the, the mice that were in that study, he said they were sluggish. And so he used that. So all of us in the hemp community decided like we all knew that was BS.
And, uh, that was like a shock jock kind of thing, where somebody wanted to get mixed some splash headlines for themselves. And so we did our own study and that came out a few weeks ago showing, uh, over a thousand. Uh, people were using CBD products and very clearly showed that there was no liver toxicity, uh, when it came to taking CBD.
So, um, again, to answer your question about, uh, interactions and drugs, you know, we live in a world in our country, at least where you go to the doctor and they scratch out a prescription. So it's probably best to check with the doc, let them know that you're taking CBD. See what he has to say. If you listen to our podcast, [00:30:00] chances are you probably know more about the endocannabinoid system than he does because they don't teach it in medical school.
But I will give a tip of the cap. There are medical doctors out there, and many natural paths that I have met on clubhouse, where we are broadcasting live, the miracle plant podcast that a have gone back to school have gotten certifications. In fact, we had a recent guest on who had written a book and all of them.
The brain on cannabis. And, um, so there are many people out there that are going to these conventions. These can meds these, no, CO's, that's coming up next month, uh, to become experts and understand how this cannabis plant works with our body. And, uh, but like we said, you can always make sure you check with your doctor and who knows you might.
One of the funniest things was since we've been around before the farm bill passed, was that, um, People would go to their doctor and ask, Hey doc, I heard CBD works for pain or stress or sleep or whatever it is. [00:31:00] What do you think? And the go-to line from, you know, the pharmaceutical reps help the coach? Uh, it was, well, there's just not enough.
You know, there's just not enough research, you know, double blind placebo, peer review, pub med, all this stuff. Right? Number one, that's completely false. You can go and look at hundreds and thousands of research that's been out there. And in fact, we've been using this plant medicinally. For over 8,000 years dating back to Oriental medical books and journals, but we also found that, um, when you do the research for yourself, um, over time, people weren't asking the doctor to say that line of all, there's not enough research.
Um, now enough people had been using CBD since it's been completely, clearly legal since 2018 and they don't ask the doctor's opinion anymore. They go, Hey doc. I'm using CBD and I feel great or they go in and they get their blood work like Darlene was talking [00:32:00] about and the doc says, whoa, what did you change?
What are you eating? What are you doing? Are you exercising? Did you, or are you taking some other drugs? What is it what's going on? You're is this even the right report? And maybe we got mixed up. And the, the difference is, is that they're taking whole plant cannabis products. And, um, we hear that story over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Uh, Connie who was on last week, talked about it with her suspicious, um, daughter who was, I believe a nurse or a nurse practitioner who would not get on board with CBD until she saw her mother's blood work. Uh, her mother is in her seventies and her daughter is in her thirties, I believe. And she's like, mom, I believe I see it with my own eyes.
Your blood work looks like your mind. And so as far as drug interactions, yes, we live in a country that is all about unfortunately, um, making money on off health care or sick care. And so we prescribed lots and lots and lots of pills. The average [00:33:00] person who comes to us and another study that we were a part of was the average person that comes to a CBD or, you know, a good company.
Uh, we'll take, uh, we'll be on for pharmaceuticals on that. Of course, we see that number much, much higher in many cases, but after taking the product consistently for 30 days, they're on less than one prescription. Because again, cannabis, when it's consumed in its whole platform helps the body find homeostasis or balance.
Other ways you can find homeostasis is by getting a good night's sleep, but drinking plenty of clean water, eating a clean. Being mindful and exercise. So I hope that answers your question. Dan, anyone else have anything to weigh in? I know we're running a little long here for the podcast, but a little final comments.
I'd be happy to, uh, let you guys weigh in. A quick comment. Um, I'm so sorry, really quickly. I just wanted to let [00:34:00] you guys know that after consistently using, um, the, I think she's using the 3,200 milligrams CBD, um, from one-on-one CBD, my aunt, who was told in December of 2020 that she had three to six months to live because the cancer has spread to her bones.
Um, she, she had, uh, I think a bone scan done, um, by the last week. And she just got the results yesterday. She called me and she said, my doctor told me that they don't see any signs of cancer in my bone. And he doesn't understand why she's getting the. Out of not telling him that she's been using the CBD and I'm like, okay, that's, that's your journey.
That's how you want to do it because she's just like, this is the proof of what you guys have been saying. And I just want, just wanted to share that. So literally she was told she had three to six months to [00:35:00] live breast cancer for the third time. That the cancer had spread it to her bones. It was in her bone marrow, I believe.
And she just got the report back. Didn't she's cancer free. There you go. That's awesome. And that's, and, and, and those kinds of stories are why we started the miracle plant podcast and those kinds of stories. Are the reason that we're on a mission. And because we obviously created our product, trying to figure out a solution for our son who had severe autism, uh, development and, um, when, and which was amazing, right?
We find this plant, Dr. William Courtney, he talks about juicing it for cannabis. It makes sense with our holistic views of the whole plant KP got raw local, organic, uh, and eating the plant and, and our, our prayers were answered. We set up a little.org to help other. Access to the same information, education, teach them how to grow in their backyard.
But when we started seeing people come to us first, it was auto-immune diseases, fibromyalgia, uh, neuropathy, [00:36:00] rheumatoid arthritis. But when we started seeing people have that kind of story with cancer, that's what really changed the game for me personally. Um, I was just like, okay, this is nuts. Like why doesn't everybody know this?
And unfortunately I think most of us know why everybody hasn't heard these things. In our country, at least, um, you know, why wouldn't he stories be on billboards? Why aren't these? Why isn't this common knowledge? Like Alovera helps with sunburn? Why doesn't everybody know that when you take whole plant cannabis, that it shrinks tumors.
Now you can listen to stories of how it's done it. Or you can actually look@theresearchandyoucangotopubmed.gov, go ahead and search it. It's a fact. And unfortunately we live in a. That is suppressing this information from getting out and they have a system set up with the FDA and big pharma that we're supposed to do.
These billion dollar tests and all these [00:37:00] kinds of things. Look, this is a plant. It's not a pharmaceutical. The farm bill clearly has made hemp legal in our country, just like apples and tomatoes. And. And we'll just keep telling our story. We'll just keep sharing our message. We'll just keep having the miracle plan podcast and helping educate people until everyone thinks of this miracle plant for what it is and what it can do to help our bodies help it.
Uh, just like we think about Alovera and sunburn, so with that being said, I do want to thank everybody for swinging by the miracle plant podcast. Listening to some of the most common questions that we get day after day, year after year.
And I hope this answers some questions for you. If it didn't then reach out to us, you can just go to the website, the miracle plant.org, and, uh, reach out to us, send us an email or any of that good stuff. But again, we'll be here every Saturday at 10:00 AM Pacific. [00:38:00] So you can ask your question just like you heard today.
And at the end of every miracle plant podcast, we count to three and we scream out, heal the world because that's what our mission is to pay this forward for what this miracle plant did for my family. And now paying it forward to families because there's people out there that are in dire need of a miracle.
