Of those 39 patients, which took up to 5-7mg CBD\/kg progressive doses of RSHO-X\u2122 5000MG, 84% experienced reduction in motor seizures; 53% reported better than a 75% reduction in seizures; and 7 reported a complete elimination of all seizures over a 4-month period, with zero reported side effects.<\/p>\n \u201cThe results of this study are very exciting as they show the best results of any product\/medication ever recorded regarding the reduction of seizures in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome patients, with 17% of patients in the study experiencing 100 percent relief from their seizures,\u201d said CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus. \u201cStudies that prove the therapeutic benefits of CBD are vital, as they will continue to help fuel less restrictive medical cannabis programs not only in Mexico, but across the globe. This is such encouraging news that children with such a severe form of epilepsy now have an option for relief as opposed to a prior bleak diagnosis that offered no signs of beneficial treatment, once the epilepsy moves to the refractory (drug resistant) phase.<\/p>\n \u201cDr Garza’s study is a huge victory for botanical CBD as opposed to the pharmaceutically developed alternative,\u201d continued Dr. Titus.\u00a0\u201cWe fully believe in the Entourage Effect of the natural botanical product – both in terms of safety as well as efficacy.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, the study showed twice the efficacy in seizure reduction as per GW Pharmaceuticals\u2019 Epidiolex<\/a> \u2013 with zero reports of\u00a0adverse side effects. In contrast, 79% of children in GW\u2019s Epidiolex study reported suffering adverse effects and 30% suffered severe adverse events. For more information on GW Pharmaceuticals\u2019 study see this report.<\/a><\/p>\n HempMeds\u00ae Mexico<\/a>\u2019s zero-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) RSHO-X\u2122 was the first-ever cannabis product to receive approval from the federal government of Mexico, COFEPRIS, for importation. RSHO-X\u2122 is also the first cannabis-based product to qualify as safe for World Anti-Doping standards and therefore could be used without concern by Olympic athletes or those who are regularly drug-tested for THC or synthetic THC, including active and retired members of the military, first responders, like police, firefighters, and EMTs, or anyone subject to a drug test.<\/p>\n Results of this study are set to be published in the near future and\u00a0formally presented at the International Epilepsy Congress<\/a> in Barcelona, Spain, Sept. 2-6, 2017.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About Medical Marijuana, Inc.<\/strong>\u2028<\/strong> This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements and information, as defined within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the Safe Harbor created by those sections.
