We in the medical profession have a very serious denial of any thing new and feel that every thing requires prolonged study and evidence based studies before being used therapeutically on humans. We would rather have patients die rather than use a product that is not evidence based and i cried when a patient committed suicide when she was told that nothing more could be done for her brain tumor. i had sent them the phone number of a friend whose tumor was regrowing post op for the third time but the surgery was not necessary due to the reduction of the tumor size. She had started hemp cannabidiol sublingually for four moths prior to the latest MRI. i cried when two children recently died from the complications of Dravets syndrome and their State did not allow the medicinal marijuana.
They could have used Hemp cannabidiol since this product is considered a vegetable component and is legal Tell me: what is wrong in using a vegetable which has no known serious side effects and has been used for thousands of years in China India etc.. We allow antibiotics narcotics antiinflammatories anticonvulsants antispasmotics chemotherapeutic drugs antidepressants and all have very serious life endangering complications.I have a friend who has been using all the modern chemotherapeutic agents, surgery and radiation and the metastatic tumors got bigger and increased in numbers on the regular check ups .It was only in the past three radiological testing that the tumors were getting smaller and was being replaced by cavitation. Even more interesting the serological Cancer markers are now reading normal He has been using cannabidiol paste sublingually for 8 months.

There is a persisting unfortunate Medical Divide and the Education must continue so we can be prepared for the rapidly spreading epidemic of Lyme disease . In the past years I have given lectures across Canada and in every Province there was a minimum of 50% with lyme disease attending these meetings and In kingston Ontario there was a shocking number of 75% of those present who were suffering from this debilitating infection. I am not afraid to make a statement that our profession is making serious mis- diagnoses and our medical students are not taught about the multi-organ system failure that is confusing the primary care physicians. There is statistiical evidence that this misdiagnoses is continuing in Canada but we are not accepting these significant facts.
The Naturopathic Medical schools are requesting annual lectures on lyme disease with enthusiasm and I have been very gratified that they are willing to listen to evidence based treatment with standard antibiotics. Their ability to write examinations for prescribing both oral and intravenous prescriptions in the Province of B.C. is a blessing for the Lyme sufferers. My personal plea is that we have continuous dialogue with represenatives from both sides of the questionable medical divide that exists. We had a meeting with both sides represented of the Divide in Winnipeg in 2012 " symposium on Borrelia burgdorferi" and in Vancouver " Think Tank" .April 13/13. Where are the conclusions.?
