How Cannabis Saved My Son - with Dr Annabelle Manalo-Morgan, PhD


Listen Later

In 2016, Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan welcomed her 3rd child, Macario.  After a normal and uncomplicated pregnancy and birth, the days that followed were anything but.

At 5 weeks old, Macario required a 9-hour surgery where doctors removed 40% of his brain due to daily, uncontrollable seizures.  At six months old he still had the functions of a newborn and Dr. Annabelle could not accept that as his forever life.   As a cellular biologist, she believed she had the tools to at least try to change the course of her son's life.

This began the creation of MASAYA, a pure form of CBD that she administered to him through his feeding tube.  After a short time, she watched as Macario began to move, make eye contact and start to thrive.  Today he is an able-bodied, functioning 8 year old boy and you truly would never believe this little boy was once lethargic. 

Dr. Annabelle is here today to share the story of her son and how CBD saved his life and about her mission to educate people on its power.  We also talk a lot about her passion to marry traditional medicine with alternative, and the positive impact that could have for you as the patient.

It’s a story you have to see to believe!
