TSC Talks!

Thanks for listening to TSC Talks with Dedee Culley. With over 20 years of nursing experience, she is the co-owner of 2 Leaf Nurses, which provides alternative & holistic health services from Springfield, Missouri. Culley loves home health for its opportunity to connect with patients and their environment. Culley is incredibly blessed and she was able to gather up courage and strength to pursue her passion in nursing while stepping out of the ordinary medicinal ways of these modern days and encourage others to be safe and successful at taking care of their bodies from the inside out with natural approaches. She has a loving attitude and an open mind to seek and research various holistic methods to reach a significantly positive result. She has also dealt with personal health issues within her family and has seen significant changes when she chooses to ASK QUESTIONS and be in the loop of the available options and their side effects.
This is her background and mission:

(Dedee Culley and her business partner Angela Huff)
“I am a registered nurse for over 20 years now; a variety of backgrounds. And there came a point when I said, you know what, enough is enough, there's more to our lives than just ‘the doctor said’, and we do this and we do that. We need to be able to heal our own bodies and we need to work on our own bodies to get them healthy. So, I started a company called 2 Leaf Nurses. And our focus is on the education of patients, as well as businesses, healthcare professionals (our own health care professionals have to have education, bless their hearts), as well as the community. That's what we really focus on, powering everybody.”

Whenever I meet someone that's in the cannabis industry from, you know, more than Midwest, I'm like, it's got to be a whole different. You know, different, awkward struggle just to get to be legit and it's hard anywhere just because we're so ingrained in our way of understanding medicine that it's hard to get back and I think that as Culley shares her story, what I found is the people that are in the industry is particularly the great nurses. I'm so grateful. I asked her about what made her take this approach:

“So yes, I am in southwest Missouri. We are seven generations deep in this area. My great-great-grandma was actually known as a medicine woman around here because one we didn't have a whole lot of doctors and those doctors cost money which our farmers didn't have. So I spent a lot of time with my grandma, and we had to utilize plants and things that we would now call ‘alternatives’. It opened up a world for me that just seemed natural. My grandma used rosewater and glycerin. And so those were all normal to me. It just was normal.”

Dedee Culley says she realized that there are two types of people, the ones that accept what the doctors say and what they say goes, and the ones that question things and wonder if there are better ways to go about something. She is definitely the type that questions, and wonders, and researches and tries to find the best way to solve something and the best way to certainly narrow down a diagnosis. She stated:

“People like me who go, ‘Well, wait a minute, why are we doing this? Why do we have to do that? Why do we have to cut both ends off a ham when we cook it? Why do we do that?’ Those are the kind of things I'm always asking. And I always have gotten in trouble many times for asking why. People take that as you are questioning them, you're questioning their integrity and their character and their knowledge. And I'm like, No, I'm just asking the question. Because when we get right down to it, there might be another way.”

A doctor once told her to not apologize for asking questions. She was motivated to do so and to dig deeper every time.

She expected to have a simple life, ‘get married, raise a family, and bake some cookies’. But for her, there was more to life than that. She witnessed a cousin have a seizure, and she started asking questions… how, why. While at the time they could only do so much, they blamed immunizations. Her grandmother also helped her see alternative methods other than hardcore pills and medicines. While her grandmother had to be hospitalized for Alzheimer’s, her grandmother had to be knocked out because she was so agitated. But while she could visit, she felt a deep connection with her grandmother since she was able to calm her down with only the touch of her palms. She goes on to explain another amazing experience she had with her grandmother, “She’d be incredibly agitated. I could sit down on the couch, hold her hand, and we would just rub hands. And to this day, I can still feel that and she was totally calm. And she would look at me and I could see grandma. And I know there was that connection. I took a doll... She always took care of all of the babies in the family, all of the kids. So I took a baby doll up there. And she held that baby and she would feed that baby and she would cuddle and calm her down immediately. So no medications were required. You know, they didn't have to do all of those things. And it proved to me how it improved the quality of her life. But it made me question, Why do we do this? And then, of course, that was the thing that took me into nursing. That thing that the doctor told me, don't ever stop asking questions, that's how we learn, you know, and encouraged me. When I got into the hospital I was told, ‘No, you don't ask questions. We are the doctors.’ So I got that message. It wasn't long after I started in the hospital, I was probably two or three years into the hospital.”

Her husband, on their fifth anniversary, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma. She goes on to share this tangible experience: “This is someone who is crazy healthy at the time he was diagnosed. He was actually training for a military marathon with his brother, he was in the Air Force. My husband is 26 years in the Army, and they were going to do a military marathon. And then this boom, all of a sudden seizures happen and we get this diagnosis. So we got that diagnosis after our five year anniversary. And I thought, ‘you know what, I'm just not cool with all of it, really. I need some other answers.’ And so I began asking why. I started really digging deep and do the research. And cannabis was the only thing that really has shown promise because it's able to penetrate the blood brain barrier. It's very selective in what it works synergistically with you. So there's a synergy between the brain cancer and the THC that it creates an environment that kills cancer cells. Yet it doesn't kill the good cells. I've read it also has this ability to help with the generation and regeneration of some of the healthy brain cells. So, that's huge.”
In the midst of all these experiences, she found out about cannabis nursing (ACNA). She goes on to explain 2 Leaf Nurses:

“So one of the things that we do at 2 Leaf nurses is not only teaching the body how It's designed to work. Well, what happens when it doesn't? And when you understand how your body is supposed to work, and you understand what happens when it doesn't, it also makes it much easier to understand how cannabis, or anything else, other supplements, other plants, and diet, how that may or may not help you, right? And I always say there are always those caveats that you can't do it. You know, they're just, they're just a certain kind of thing. So we learn about that, but then we take you to the next step of figuring out what you want, what you need, okay? Okay. I can't tell you that you need to smoke a flower. I can't tell you. You need to use a tincture. I can't tell you those things. Only you can make those decisions, right? You just need to be educated about what those things are.”

As an incredible nurse with a passion for others, her own family structured her path to find holistic approaches, which indeed gave her and her family hope for a better life.

“When you're looking at things holistically, it's not one thing; you have to look at the whole picture. So mind, body, and soul. So I have to think about his exercise, keeping him out getting him good energies, keeping his spirits up, giving him hope, and encouragement, but we also have to be cognizant of our diet and what we consume and the supplements and things like that. So, it's been a very, very broad approach. And I will say that for me to start a business, most of it was not in my game plan. I would have just assumed, ‘just stayed back and taking care of him, and let's call it good.’ That's not the way it was supposed to go apparently. And you know, a lot of the things that I have done, all started falling into place and wondering what I was supposed to do how I was supposed to do it. It all fell into place. And you know what? I just have to keep helping people. That is my calling, to help and to empower and educate people. So, there we have it.”

Mike Robinson, Founder. Global Cannabinoid Research Center, Cannabis Advocate, Cancer Survivor and Formulator, gives us a behind the scenes account on the history, inspiration and creation of Forest Bathing. Forest Bathing is the name of a new line of products developed from Mike's years of experience working in the compassion program, thinking outside the box on a daily basis with people in pain and suffering and figuring out what's needed.

"I've done compassion care for seven years. And I'll keep on doing it, you know, but the bottom line is, when you're in that world, you've got to make the most effective medicine, you've got to deliver it, you've got to keep changing it. And what I found was as I ventured into the forest, to heal myself with multiple cancers, as I tried to keep myself calm, while hundreds of people are messaging, hundreds of people are calling me every single day needing help. I found that just relaxing in the forest alone makes me feel better. When I was doing that, that's when I stumbled across some things in the forest in the Sierra Nevada, that I actually picked and pulled with me and brought back to one of my fellow compassion providers. You know what, I want to take these two items and you mix it into the nano stuff and see how that works. Is this is 2016."

Mike also talks about the connection with his childhood experience of going into the forest, and how bringing this product to market brings things full circle. From the first time he ingested cannabis as a compassion patient.

"So you know, I mean I started out in 2013 being given CBD being given THC oils. I get off of 48 pills a day I stopped seizing, I kill Lyme's disease, on and on and on, my life comes back to me because of compassion and love from people that didn't even know me."

Mike continues to give back in huge ways with his 10 million milligram giveaway of CBD & CBG and encourages anyone who needs help getting their medicine particularly during these challenging times in our nation. If you need help go to: https://whosneedinghelp.com, a site Mike set up for anyone anywhere who is in need of help. Not just getting medicine but in general. This is the kind of work Mike does and what drives his motivation to bring products to market like forest bathing that are hand formulated with attention given to every detail along the way, start to finish, developed with deep personal knowledge of the suffering people experience.

So this product, "Sierra Nevada", the first in a line of his newly launched FOREST BATHING product line is start of many other formulations in partnership with different entities that also bringing to market more of Mike's love and compassion infused products.

I had the pleasure of having Brielle Izabelle join myself and co-host, Brooke Alisha on the podcast to discuss her lived experience as a young adult living with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Brielle is from New Jersey, is a college student at Fairleigh Dickinson and just launched a YouTube channel. This is the description she includes on her YouTube channel, linked below: “hey everyone! My names brielle Isabelle and I would love if you could join the bbsquad! Here I hope to talk about my disease Tuberous Sclerosis and raise awareness! I also want to make my channel super personal with Q&A’s, make up videos , pranks and more. CATCH UP ON SOME VIDEOS LIKE COMMENT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE!”

My co-host for this episode was Brooke Alisha, Brooke is our TSC Talks YouTube Vlogger and is an adult and parent living with TSC. She is also a TSC Advocate, Adult Regional Coordinator for Adult Support Region 5, LeVel Promotor. She has quite a story of challenges and hurdles, traumatic events, and heartache but also MUCH resilience, inner fortitude, a heart of love and hope and I was grateful to have her jump right in and contribute to this interview with her own insights and understanding of TSC related challenges and add another valuable perspective to our discussion.

As a parent of three offspring with TSC who has been through quite a sampling of the TSC experience in terms of encountering ranges of manifestations, treatments, surgeries, medications, and interfacing with systems of care, I am always learning what I don’t know about another’s personal experience, and grateful to gain yet another glimpse of how others navigate and come through their own personal crises and come to understand and put in place a framework for moving forward and accepting the diagnosis without letting it define them. This was yet one more “schooling” I received on the many colors and faces of this complicated diagnosis.

I am sharing some pertinent quotes that help illustrate the content we discussed. Brielle discussed her greatest challenges growing up with a TSC diagnosis, those being educational and mental health challenges. “You know, I've dealt with school situations, like bullying because of how intense it really was for me, I did struggle. But the school system that I was involved in, they were amazing. And I was able to be super successful in school. I went to my dream college, and education is the biggest way that this has impacted me. And now as an adult, or young adult, I think that it really affected me with my mental health, which is something that I had no idea it would. I think that since my whole life has been relatively stable, I didn't realize that okay, you know, there's other things that aren’t, which has been my mental health, anxiety and depression and things like that. So, I think my whole life, it's really just been my education. But now that I'm an adult, and I'm more in charge of my education, it's definitely my mental health and mental health awareness. So that's the biggest thing and it's affected me a lot to be honest with you”
Brooke also shared her perspective on what Brielle mentions, also tying in TAND, which stands for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders; “I know like 80% of people deal with a mental illness and you know, sometimes you deal with it worse at different ages. I honestly didn't really pay attention to it when I was younger, because I didn't know, but watching my daughter struggle with the bullying and the IEP s and the learning and the therapists and all that stuff. It is very traumatic for someone to go through at any level. You talk very well, and you are very educated. Whoever has worked with you has done an amazing job. And I think that's incredible growth for you”

Brielle underwent brain surgery at age 8 and states, “So I think that brain surgery was one of those things where I was sort of like, this is happening, you know, what is going to happen after this? How am I going to be impacted, I wasn't educated. All I knew was that, you know, one of my tumors in my brain needed to come out and it needed to come out as soon as possible. So, I think that being who I am today, as well, I could say that if I didn't have brain surgery, I wouldn't know who I was, either. Because that was like my, my greatest achievement, you know, to survive something so traumatic like that. A lot of people don't come out of that. So I'm so blessed. And I think that going through that and now being so healthy today, is something that is just amazing, something that I had to do something that I had to face, I couldn't go around it, I can wait a year for it to be done”

Brooke added, “I'm really thankful you talked about the brain surgery. My daughter had it when she was three, but like, that's what she lives off of…” this happened to me.” I always tell her it does not define you. But it is so hard to get that out of their head when they go through so much stuff and like you said, you blocked things out.” I also would acknowledge how important it is to not let these major medical events that are outside of one’s control define, but give one a sense of passion and purpose having gone through something most people never experience, living through it, and owning the courage and bravery it takes to reorient and not let memory of these traumatic events hold one hostage.

Brooke elaborates on her own challenges with the mental health aspects of TSC, “Nobody understood my mental illness, you know, they were supportive and they kept me going, but until I got older and really dealt with it, I was in my home and wouldn't leave, and it was a really bad place. I was alone, it was devastating to my life. So to see you at 21, just, you know, I know that there still rough days, but you're glowing, you're doing incredible. And I am so thankful that you're reaching out to these other girls. I know that's been a huge support for my daughter, having her camp friends that all had TSC to talk to because you do get very lonely, nobody understands you, they don't even know what to say to you. So they say nothing and then you're left in a hole, you know. So I'm really thankful to hear your story and to hear you rise up from all this. I think it's great. I know there's going to be tough days, like you said, there's no cure, but you have to like rise above that and you're doing very well. You're doing a really good job.”

I would echo that statement and will wrap up with this quote from Brielle on how she came to use journaling and ultimately vlogging to help her process her experiences and cope, “Something that I was actually very opposed to doing because I was so in denial that it would help me is journaling. I had an empty journal in my room that my dad gave me, and I put it all the way in the back of the drawer. And I refused to even write my name. I didn’t even want to draw in it. I did not want to even think about putting my feelings down. And one day I was feeling so terrible. And I said, I just want to get this out, even if this is the first and last time that I write in it, and ever since that day, I have not stopped writing in it every single night. Just like Brooke said, I will write, “you got this now, tomorrow's gonna be better.” You know, ask yourself the question, like, let me know how tomorrow goes and then tomorrow I'll write down today. Especially now that I can't see my therapist, I need a means of releasing how I've been feeling and I actually made a video about anxiety and depression as well. Writing in the journal and giving yourself motivational words, you know, it doesn't have to be something cliche or something that someone else told you. It’s something that is individualized to you. So yeah, I write like 15 pages written ..or I'll write like three pages a day of just thoughts and thoughts. And sometimes my hand will cramp up and I'll say, wow, you know, today was a rough day. Just go for something. Because sometimes it's just, very hard”

Both these two women are powerful examples of coping with some off the beaten path challenges that few will encounter in their lifetimes and both have chosen to accept the fact that they have this condition, are not letting it define them but remain grateful for being able to be here now and find joy, meaning despite the daily roller coaster of circumstance. Tools mentioned for coping are journaling, vlogging, connecting with others that can relate and a lot of self-love, self-compassion and reminders on the mirror of just how awesome they are. Because it is so true. I was inspired and moved listening to both of these women and am glad to share this episode with my own daughters, as well as many others within and without the TSC community, who have dealt with and are dealing with similar issues related to self-esteem, mental health, and staying positive in this crazy world we live in.

This episode is dedicated to my friend Paul Collins who passed away recently. Paul was a unique and inspirational individual I met in the local 12 step program when I had hit a personal bottom dealing with addiction and mental health stressors that led to a serious psychotic break. Paul inspired me to live the wisdom of the saying, “you’re only as sick as your secrets” which in part inspired the creation and evolution of this podcast. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Laura and John from Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals join the podcast to discuss their new line of CBD topicals with Penetrating Topical CBD Phase-change Technology designed to be absorbed rapidly, provide relief and enhance your lifestyle. I enjoyed hearing about how their business got started and the passion this company has for bringing to market products that are first class. They have six different topicals, each infused with 1000 mg of CBD, and dose controlled so a pump delivers 20 mg.

A bit of information how Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals came about: "Our development took a different pathway and having been focused on the pharmaceutical sector, specifically with drug delivery technology, and in fact, working with a specialty pharmaceutical development company in Boston mass that works on transdermal drug delivery technology, thought that the application of principles developed there with that technology could be directly applicable for CBD. One of the big problems obviously with CBD is that if you smoke it with all the problems with COVID-19 and everything else, obviously smoking is harmful to the lungs. If you are ingesting it, the onset of it is terrible and you've got to push the active components through the walls, into your stomach then you have first pass liver first effect and thereafter, in which case it's highly inefficient and can be problematic as well. Topicals and transdermals is could be an interesting pathway, it's safe, but you need technology to be able to get the CBD to the receptors, cannabidiol receptors. And when Laura approached me and said, Gee, is there a way we could use the technology or develop other technology that would allow us to create a company that could effectively create products to have the benefits of the CBD and other botanicals as well, but the advanced technology that allowed the CBD and the botanicals to interact much more efficiently with the human body, that's how our tech was born. We function on the same focus as really a pharmaceutical business, but just applied to CBD in botanicals."

Laura goes on to explain further: "So currently, CBD, there's so many health benefits to it, we all know it. However, the side effects of current delivery methods don't overcome the benefits of the CBD. Smoking, the amount of CBD that's needed to ingest to have an effect, because again, as John mentioned, when your stomach sort of chews up most of the CBD in your stomach, you're actually getting very little into your system. And then there's a side effects of having such a high dose that you're having to take. So there's stomach upset. There's onset of action, it can have effect in 10 minutes, or it can be six hours, right? It's very unpredictable. So those two methods, they weren't efficient and they weren't working. So we said Wow, why can't we take all the wellness of botanicals, not just CBD, all herbal extracts, and really make them more effective, because we all want to use nature. But we have to be able to receive that nature, to receive it safely through the skin, which again, will not happen unless you have some sort of emulsion technology, it will just sit on the outer layer of the skin, that dead skin and it won't have an effect internally. So we're trying to create something that's only effective, but it's safe, and we've priced it so people can afford it. So I'm really excited to introduce this line of products to folks."

Check out the video on our phase change technology: https://herbtechpharma.com/technology/

Laura continues with a description of their product line: "There are a lot of products out there, one size fits all, take CBD for everything. Herbal extracts can help you in certain lifestyle situations throughout your day. So we created six different need states with other botanicals infused in this delivery system. One is "be sleepy" with melatonin, chamomile, lavender "be calm" with a St. John's wort. We have "be active" with white willow, which is a precursor to aspirin, for you know to put on muscles and joints. We have a "be intimate" which is very different. And that's again infused with Red Ginseng. We have "be healthy" and to "be empowered". And again all these are not just infused with botanicals but this is something that we're very proud of. 1000 Mg's of CBD hemp extract, and again just because someone says they have 1000 mg of extract You have no idea how much CBD is in that extract. You have no idea unless the manufacturer tells you and we tell you on our labels 80 to 95% pure, and then you go to our website, there's a QR code on our bottles. We're very proud of our labels, we're very clear and precise instructions. We again tell you there's 20 mgs per pump."

On their very thorough manufacturing, testing, certification and validation process : "What we do is we actually contract with the CBD supplier, and we make sure that under contract, we have a guaranteed amount of CBD actually in it because the other missing link to this whole thing whether it's full spectrum or broad spectrum, how much of the CBD is actually in it. We have guarantees from our infuser, we balance these out with certified analysis, the flower, everything else on a full spectrum, but we guarantee and certify that we have 80 to 95% concentration of CBD in our full spectrum mix. So it's another level that we can guarantee to the consumer. Not only do we have all the parts of the plant, we have a guaranteed amount of CBD in it, and that's all certified. And in addition to that, I mean from a validation standpoint, you know, that's one aspect of what we do relative to the CBD, but the full panel analysis that we do is much more along a cgmp Type Certification process. Our bases for these products are manufactured in a cgmp facility. Basically that means that every aspect of the manufacturing process is validated with this double signature on all the the measurements and all the mixing steps. We then have that validated with microbiological challenge testing to make sure that that's not biologically contaminated. that then gets shipped to our CBD infuser partner who then will mix in blend in the CBD pursuant to our formulation. And then when it gets into full panel certification, we look for everything, we guarantee and certify the amount of actual CBD that's in it. We certify that it's in full compliance with the farm act, meaning that there's less than 0.3% THC in it. Then we make sure that it's full panel is none of the heavy metals and LEDs and other things. And we also do another microbiological challenge test, to make sure and confirm that in fact that there is no microbiological contamination. So when someone is getting our product, they're getting it validated from the very beginning, from the sourcing of all the raw materials that go into the base all the way to the final step, and every part in between."

On the process of securing hemp: "Our hemp is sourced from one of the largest and oldest manufacturers and growers in Kentucky, which was around not just for the 2018 Farm Bill, but also for the original federal research pilot program in 2014. This is basically research grade hemp that's being grown and refined into what we believe to be and what's been demonstrated to certification to us, one of the most purest forms of CBD and hemp extract that's on the marketplace today. So just like our botanical extracts are naturally grown, every component of the formulas has been sourced from what we believe and continually verify to be the best product components available."

I appreciated the thoroughness of this team in creating a product line that addresses many of the concerns and needs that people have when making a decision to try CBD. They gave meticulous detail of their phase change technology for rapid delivery and quick onset of action, the added botanicals which provide aromatherapy and synergy and contribute the the overall effectiveness of the product, their incredibly thorough testing and certification process, high quality hemp, precise dosage control, with a non greasy feel.

I had the opportunity to try several of these products and will give my personal endorsement that they delivered excellent results!! As a runner who deals with chronic muscle pain, especially as I get older, the relief felt after utilizing the "be active" product eliminated the need for post run ibuprofen and other more toxic pain relievers. I highly encourage anyone out there looking for a high quality product, with some bells and whistles that you don't see for such a reasonable price, check any or all of this unique product line, asap!!

"Our website is the best places to actually buy the product and to learn about the technology and the information to see about the validation, and watch the video. So we actually encourage people to go directly to the website. At the same token, we're in the process of increasing the number of retail locations that we have. And we're in the process of putting an affiliate program together as well that will basically allow us to have other people on the internet recommending the products to the friends and family."

Sherri Tutkus is the founder and CEO of GreenNurse Group, Nursing Director at Irie Bliss Wellness and host of GreenNurse on the Go Radio Show. Sherri is a cannabis nurse, patient and advocate. She earned her Bachelors in Science and Nursing from Boston College. She is highly skilled Registered Nurse with 30 years’ practical experience in various departments within the hospital and home setting. She is utilizing her expert nursing skills as a medical center specialist, clinical nurse liaison and educator to bridge the gap between patients and the cannabis community. Sherri has been educating and implementing holistic integrative healing modalities within her practice for over 20 years. She educates on the endocannabinoid system and the safe utilization of cannabis at dispensaries, hospitals, clinics, patients homes and she regularly does pop up events, seminars and expos. Sherri is an international speaker and she has contributed to the writing of the first cannabis nursing textbook with her cannabis nurse colleagues that will be available in nursing schools across the country. Sherri is a member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association and founding member of The Cannabis Nurses Network and was nominated as one of two nurses for “Health Professional of the Year” for the 2020 New England Cannabis Convention. Sherri brings passion and purpose to her work teaching bio-psycho-social-spiritual healing using cannabis as a tool.

In this episode, Sherri shares from the annals of intensely personal experience detailing how her entire life went from one of a busy full time nurse, working in hospitals in Boston, single mother of three to becoming completely bedridden, dependent on others for care. She states,

"I'm going to be a little bit transparent today. I think it'll be really helpful to talk from my own personal perspective in working with cannabinoid therapeutics and mental health in regards to my own mental health. So before I got sick in 2012 I had a history of migraines and ADHD-attention deficit disorder. Both of those were managed very well with medications, working full time as a nurse in the big teaching hospitals in Boston, three kids. I was highly functioning. When I took a hit from eating a bacteria while I was working I ended up in the intensive care unit, with a mega colon, an infectious disease, and it was really bad. So I got sick in 2012, took a hit to my gut. I went from high functioning to not functioning at all"

From here Sherri lays out the journey back and how a fellow nurse at a particularly low point after she'd been put on 16 pharmaceuticals and was "circling the drain of despair", encouraged her to try cannabis as medicine.

"I was on the other side of the bed, like in a really big bad way, all of a sudden I'm the patient and having to advocate for myself. So not only was it the physical issues that I had, but I also had to deal with the system, the system that I worked in, how is that going to affect my mental health and how are they going to take care of me? The trauma that I experienced from this illness is so overwhelming high functioning to not functioning, home- bed bound in the hospital- couldn't take care of my kids -could barely eat. I'm just gonna say it like it is explosive diarrhea, and nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pooping your pants in public. So you can see how literally I can talk about anything. From running around the block naked to talking about poop and stuff that comes out your bum. I was so mortified, horrified that I had this gastrointestinal illness that was debilitating, complete loss of control, it was horrible. And then the issues with eating and being able to take in food. So that spiraled into, mental health issues, the developing anxiety and the depression. And over time, I wasn't getting better. I had agoraphobia, I was afraid to leave."

And I'm going to tell you too, and this is the part of trauma that I'm really trying to help patients with now, when I'm working with them because I've been there. You know, I've been there. I call it medical trauma. And Pharmaceutical trauma.

It was cannabinoid therapeutics that came into my life that really made the significant impactful change, that allowed everything that wasn't working to start working again and actually allowed me to start processing information from a different place because I was pulled out of the story of the sickness, the story or the trajectory of sickness. an illness. You know, it was the cannabinoids that actually opened the door that allowed everything that wasn't working to start working again."

I was utilizing all of the other tools that existed. The traditional system, the holistic system, the functional integrative system, acupuncture, chiropractor, essential oils, homeopathy, you name it, and none of it worked. Why? Because my endocannabinoid system was completely 100% deficient. I was not making enough of my own internal endogenous cannabinoids to keep my system regulated including my brain"

"And so what it took was it was one of my nursing colleagues who had just retired. She was one of my patients because I do energy healing work. I do Reiki and Reconnective Healing and she was one of my clients from energy healing. She had been trying to get in touch with me and she had just turned 70 and I kept blowing her off. So she came to my house with a big giant, big fat joint. And she walked into my bedroom and I looked at her and I go, are you kidding me? I mean, is this a joke? Seriously, you're bringing me weed? Like, how is this gonna help me?"

There's much more within this episode as Sherri goes into a lot of detail on various aspects of cannabis as medicine and how it works to restore homeostasis, what this means for so many conceivably impossible to treat conditions, how this has profound implications, for ushering in a new paradigm of modern medicine, bridging the gaps between traditional and alternative medicine with results, research and centuries of "anecdotal experience" evidencing profound efficacy and facilitating personal autonomy and decreased dependence on a broken healthcare system.

For Sherri, these brutal series of experiences were the launching pad for what is now her business, Green Nurse Group and has led to her work as Medical Director of Irie Bliss Wellness. She has the opportunity to help others on their journey with cannabis. She discusses the personal stigma she had to overcome as well as challenges within her own family who were not initially supportive of her foray into the cannabis industry among other potential roadblocks so many of us experience as we advocate for what we know to be true about cannabis. It is a life saving plant that has the power to transform one's entire state of being.

Sherri and Green Nurse Group as well as many other Cannabis Nurses, Doctors who are slowly starting to embrace cannabis and other professionals with whom Sherri inspires sit at the crossroads of this exciting yet also frustrating time in traditional medicine as the systems we have depended on for so long to help keep us alive and having quality of life are not leading to overall improved quality of life for more than not.

One final quote from Sherri and then be sure to check out her links: "I honestly see this (cannabis as medicine) being integrated into mainstream medicine, but it's going to happen in the community first. So in other words, as healthcare professionals, a lot of cannabis nurses, including myself, the traditional healthcare system has failed us in multiple ways. Not only were surgeries denied, medications were denied. I had to fight for my for surgical procedures, the mental health system-completely broken. Bottom line is that a lot of systems that we medical professionals, especially cannabis nurses have come from, we've come from broken systems, and so we want to make it better. And how do we make it better? We start in our communities by educating and then there's going to be a critical mass eventually. It's going to happen and I've already seen it ...now I'm getting phone calls from more doctors asking, "Hey, what's the green nurse?" "

In this powerful episode, Mike Robinson, Founder, Global Cannabinoid Research Center, Cancer Survivor, Cannabis Advocate AND former registered Civil Rights lobbyist and non attorney that represented countless disabled children, discusses what's happened with Special Education services under a provision of the coronavirus relief package and why it's important to take action.

Under A provision of the coronavirus relief package that passed at the end of March, Betsy DeVos had until Monday to recmmmend any additional waivers of federal education law to Congress. Already, states have been able to apply for waivers to skip annual tests and change how they spend certain federal education dollars. She issues no waivers.

NO STATE has been given the authority to NOT educate special education individuals in the same manner they would regular education individuals or to make the same allowances, as per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Education and the coronavirus crisis: What’s the latest?

Under the federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, school districts must offer all students an equitable education or they are not supposed to offer it to any of them. Not many school systems have come up with a way to extend online learning and other critical services to the 7 million children with disabilities across the country. And some districts, because they cannot provide special education services at home, aren’t offering online instruction to any student. Now, there is tension between groups that advocate for these students — who each have an Individualized Education Program or IEP — and organizations that represent special education administrators. The advocates are demanding that school districts deliver education equitably, as the law requires, while administrators say they cannot do the same things they did when schools were open and need some flexibility.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos won’t recommend giving school districts the option to bypass major parts of federal special education law, the department announced Monday. The move will be celebrated by disability rights advocates, who had feared that giving districts any wiggle room could pave the way for a more permanent undoing of civil rights for the country’s nearly 7 million students with disabilities.

In this episode, Mike Robinson, Founder, Global Cannabinoid Research Center, Cannabis Advocate, Cancer Survivor joins Jill Woodworth to discuss his MILLION MILLIGRAM GIVEAWAY of CBD to alleviate the dire need of many within compassion communities affected by coronavirus. Mike shares his own lived experience as a special needs advocate for many years and how devastating it is to learn of past clients struggling profusely in light of the drop off of IEP services post Coronavirus restrictions.

"Kids in regular ed will have free home school by their computer every day, paid for by the US government. And there's absolutely zero announcement about the most vulnerable members of society that attend public school in special education. There is Zero an announcement about the civil rights and protections put in place by our government to the 1971 Omnibus bill that created DHS, that created CPS, that created the Individual with Disabilities Education Act that requires states to take the funds that they got and create programs for children and special education. These are very strict laws regarding how you use these funds. And the issue right now is not whether or not there's a pandemic, a cold, a virus. The issue is that states that have received billions and billions of dollars in funding for special education. They commingle those into their regular funds. So now they have gone ahead and used that money and now are going ahead and allowing parents to call and say, "Hey, I can't help what's going on at home", to lose their child. So, by lack of supporting children who are federally protected with these supports, we are facing a crisis, of epidemic proportions."

"People tell me that "Oh, it's not my business plan. Oh, I can't give this away. Oh I'm going bankrupt "and I am like, "Guess what? What you give comes back. Always". If you give negativity it comes back to you. When you give a loan. It comes back to you. If you expect instant gratification, when you give. guess what? It's not happening. There's no remuneration, there's money coming to you for giving. It's love and love is returned. You put love out to the world, and it's infectious. It's way more infectious than the Coronavirus. Yeah, so that's my plan. My plan is to put love into the world. 1 million milligrams, a million milligrams, and the details are still being worked out. It's pretty awesome. So people can get a small amount of CBD oil mailed to them or they'll pick it up and have something that they can use to help themselves their loved ones"

Mike learned about compassion under the tutelage of Dennis Peron, an American activist and businessman who became a leader in the movement for the legalization of cannabis throughout the 1990s. He influenced many in California and thus changed the political debate on marijuana in the United States. Dennis passed away on January 27, 2018 (aged 72). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Peron

“If we are to understand anything so complex and troubling as addiction, we need to gaze directly at the point where experience and biology meet. Because that’s the bottleneck, the linchpin, where human affairs are cast and crystallized. That’s where the brain shapes our lives and our lives shape the brain” Marc D. Lewis, Ph.D.

I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Marc. D. Lewis on TSC Talks to discuss his life and work with the focus of the conversation on how he developed his understanding of addiction, and how he debunked the more traditional theory that addiction is indeed a disease. Marc is a neuroscientist, recently retired full professor of developmental psychology, at the University of Toronto from 1989 to 2010, and at Radboud University in the Netherlands from 2010 to 2016. He is the author or co-author of over 50 journal publications in psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience, editor of an academic book on developmental psychology, and co-author of a book for parents. More recently he has written two books on the science and experience of addiction.

I heard Marc on a podcast several years ago after reading his blog, https://memoirsofanaddictedbrain.com. I was a few years into recovery from substance abuse addiction and struggling with many of the traditional modes of treatment. As a parent of children with some extra challenges case managing their TSC related care post-divorce, I was buoyed when I heard Marc discussing his 2nd book, The Biology of Desire, Why Addiction is Not a Disease (2015)which claims “the scientific facts don’t support the disease model of addiction. Rather, addiction, like romantic love and other emotionally loaded habits, develops through deep learning and limited alternatives. Combining scientific views with intimate biographies of addicts who recovered, the book also shows how addiction can be overcome, through self-directed change in one’s goals and perspectives.”

Having felt more validated in my own personal experience knowing that there were multiple factors personally at play that led to my own demise, I went and started reading more of his blog and research. Viewing myself as victim of a disease while at the same time having to maintain a somewhat subservient stance to wrangle the services necessary to help our family recover from years of ongoing traumas, was almost too much to bear. I simply could not accept the idea that I had a disease and as I chose to navigate away from that model of understanding, including delving into cannabinoid medicine, I was finally able to intimately integrate past present and future in a way that I could truly climb out of many self-limiting beliefs reinforced by this notion. Clinging to the disease model of addiction was limiting and I have to say, Marc’s work has made a tangible impact on my own and so many others who have had less than typical experiences for which the confines of traditional recovery methods led to deeper despair and frustration. I’m including a bit more information from Marc’s bio along with some quotes that highlight might be helpful and lead you to download and/or at least listen to this fabulous chat.

Beginning during his undergraduate years in Berkeley, California, Marc experimented with a large variety of drugs, eventually becoming addicted to opiates. He moved to Toronto in 1976 and began to study psychology at the University of Toronto, but at the same time encountered serious personal and legal troubles resulting from his addiction. After quitting drugs at age 30, he continued his graduate education in developmental psychology. He received a Ph.D. and license to practice psychology in 1989, and he was appointed to the position of assistant professor the same year.

Around 2006, Marc’s research led him back to addiction, this time as a neuroscientist studying the brain changes that accompany addiction and recovery. His 2011 book, Memoirs of an Addicted Brain, blends his life story with a user-friendly account of how drugs (from LSD and alcohol to speed and heroin) affect the brain and how alterations in brain function help explain addiction.
His more recent book is The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction is Not a Disease (2015), and it has stirred controversy among people with addictions, their families, addiction researchers, and treatment providers.”

“The fact is that we in the West embrace the logic of pigeonholing problems, giving them unique names and finding technical solutions-the more targeted the better-for alleviating them. That is, to a T, the logic of Western medicine.”

We also discussed the impact of social distancing and quarantine measures on those that might be struggling with addiction during this global pandemic. Please note Marc’s links to social media as well as multiple articles, videos that might be helpful and illuminating for anyone currently struggling.

“What often goes together with addiction is a kind of narrowing of the social world, you get your needs for soothing and satisfaction or pleasure from a substance. You do not need to connect as much. So, the social world kind of shrinks around you. And before long, you kind of lose the opportunity, you lose the availability of other people, you lose friends, you lose family, you kind of, you know, you kind of bury yourself in a little hole in the ground, where you have your substance and you have maybe a couple of other people around you that also are involved in substances That's it. The Coronavirus also is pushing us to burrow into a shrinking environment. We are sitting there at home by ourselves. And people are just losing even more the opportunity to connect outside of themselves, to extend their, their social web and to extend their possible the availability of getting your needs met by other people and other activities. So that in itself, I think is just the built-in hardship of this lockdown phase that we're in.”

Leigh Zarda Carr, R.N., BSN, is a mother of 2, business owner, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Bleeding Kansas Advocates, Contributing Writer at The Evolution Magazine and Cannabis Nurse Consultant at Kansas City Cannabis Company. The name of her business is Hari Om Hemp. “It began as an idea when they both Leigh and husband Dustin noticed the many benefits that Leigh saw from CBD herself. It was not till Dustin and Leigh’s son was diagnosed with special needs that they really found the need to start their own CBD company when they could not find one that was open and honest as they would like.” To learn more: https://hariomhemp.com/

Leigh shares the experience she had with her son who stopped talking, stopped walking correctly, he kept falling over, he stopped eating the foods he loved, and his behavior completely and radically changed following his 15 month vaccines. Leigh followed the pediatrician’s recommendations, sought various therapies, many not covered by insurance and continued to hope that her son would start to improve. That did not happen despite brush offs from her doctor who kept telling Leigh, that “he is a boy and boys are different”. Finally, at the end of her rope, she began to dig deeper and do her own research which led this nurse, extensively trained in traditional medicine, to question everything she had been taught. Leigh has had the lived experience working in traditional medicine, spent time doing pharmaceutical research, and worked in an ER for quite a while Her last bedside nursing job was at a very prestigious hospital in the Kansas City area in a pediatric unit, doing well child visits for an entire year and was trained on vaccines. I am sharing Leigh’s Facebook post from March 31st, 2020, the 5 year anniversary of her son receiving his 15 month vaccinations here and following this post is a list of resources that can be found publicly related to vaccines and topics mentioned in our interview. I am glad to report that after breaking away from traditional medicine, Leigh found a combination of treatments and therapies in the alternative medicine that have helped her son significantly. At his last IEP meeting she reported that he no longer qualifies for any services but speech!

Leigh wants to emphasize, “this is not to attack those that do vaccinate and not to attack me who I have chosen not to continue to vaccinate mine for medical reasons. This is a post to hopefully wake a few people up to the harmful dangers of vaccines. Please don’t find out your child has the MTHFR gene mutation the way I did. Do your homework and make sure you have informed consent and ask for the vaccine insert the next time you are at your pediatrician's office and look at this list of side effects, again another thing I was not shown nor taught in nursing school.”

“Thank you to all those who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday but this birthday was different for me this year. Yesterday I was reminded in my timehop of the day that will permanently be in my head forever. I’ve thought about how I would say this a million times but it never gets easier to tell a story that has caused you so much pain and suffering. On March 31st of 2016 5 years ago my husband and I took our son into his WELL child visit for his 15 months vaccines, little did I know that this would be the beginning of a really long road ahead of us.

Within 3 months after my son’s vaccines he stopped talking words he knew how to communicate simple words like dog, hi and bye, he stopped eating foods he loved and would request, his balance became weak and he would fall over all the time.

What unfolded over the next two years was mind boggling and I will not go into detail how many doctors we saw and how much money we spent on out of pocket therapies but it was 5 figures.
There were two times I went to the pediatrician telling him that something was wrong and different with my child and both times I was told he is just a boy and that boys are hyper and are picky eaters. Well he was wrong. My son was not a picky eater prior to his 15 month vaccines and he was the sweetest kindest most loving little boy.

As a mother and a nurse I dug deeper for answers, scientific answers because that is my training to look at double blind placebo studies and credible sources.. I wanted to know why my son had 8 ear infections within one year after his 15 month vaccines and why he no longer could talk and why we were in speech therapy and still are to this day. What I have uncovered since keeps me awake at night, makes me question all my training that I had as a nurse and how we were taught and drilled in our heads that vaccines are safe and effective. I went on to find out that Vaccines were anything but that and have not been studied for the last 30 year and that all manufacturers are protected from any law suits. Had they been safe I would not be where I am today telling the story I am. Not only have they not been studied but do yourself a favor and take a look at the ingredients in them. Your mind will be blown just like mine, again not something we are ever taught about in nursing school nor during my training on vaccines at a pediatric office (a very well known and prestigious one).

This post is not to attack those that do vaccinate and not to attack me who I have chosen not to continue to vaccinate mine for medical reasons. This is a post to hopefully wake a few people up to the harmful dangers of vaccines. Please don’t find out your child has the MTHFR gene mutation the way I did. Do your homework and make sure you have informed consent and ask for the vaccine insert the next time you are at your pediatrician's office and look at this list of side effects, again another thing I was not shown nor taught in nursing school.

I wish you all the best and want nothing more than to see children succeeding in schools and free of pharmaceuticals. If you are someone you know resonate with this post please reach out. I am here to talk, here to listen, here to help, my ears and arms are open. There is so much more to our story and I plan to share it with you all. Nolan has been on a long road to healing his injury and we are so hopeful in his healing journey. We actually even had his IEP meeting this week and were told he no longer qualifies for any services but SPEECH! This is amazing and we are so excited by the leaps and bounds he is making and cannot wait till the day that we can say he is healed! Hari Om” ( Hari Om is a famous Sanskrit mantra thought to erase all suffering. It allows the individual speaking it to remove their personal suffering and reconnect with the universal consciousness. Hari means "the remover" and refers to the one who removes troubles, blockages, pain and bondages.) https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/7560/hari-om
