Gianna

Gianna was diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut at 10 months old.

We started Cannabis in 2014. At that time, we did an EEG which showed seizure activity every 3-6 seconds all over the brain. Over the years, we tried all pharmaceutical medications — some seemed good at first, but Gianna always had side effects.

We started with a CBD with THC in it that would be illegal in most states. Gianna’s cognition improved but we didn’t notice any difference in the “drops” or seizure activities. Our doctor recommended to add THCa, but no one was making it at the time.

Our doctor recommended adding THC. Within a few months we noticed a 90% reduction in the drops. Gianna still had seizures (grand-mal type) when she was sick. We never noticed any side effects being on THC, and made sure (since she was on Phenobarbital) that we waited the 2 hours between doses. We also noticed that she did better giving dosing 4x a day rather than 2x over the years.

Over the years, we started adding THCa when it came available, then CBDa and learned about the Canniatric brand. Gianna did exceptionally well on Canniatric.

In December 2018 we did another EEG. During the EEG, Gianna presented a drop seizure but not forming into a seizure. In the 24 hour EEG it showed not one seizure!

Since 2018, Gianna has not been sick as often and we have not seen one grand-mal seizure or longer drop that we were noticing. We are still seeing those small quick drops that were not recorded as seizures.

Gianna is now on her own ratio with using different brands of Cannabis makers. She uses two of Canniatric’s tinctures (THC50 and THCa) and she’s on CBDa, CBN, and CBG strains as well.

I would highly recommend Canniatric. We had to change brands during a short period of time as California made new law changes, and on a different brand’s oil we saw an increase in drops.

Gianna is now 16, and we have had over 2+ years on Canniatric’s great quality oil which I always highly recommend to families.
