    Ever Thought About Supplementing Your Pet’s Diet With CBD

    Over the last several years, CBD has increasingly been shown to aid in the treatment of seizures. The evidence is so strong that the FDA, an organization notoriously opposed to cannabis, approved the first CBD-based medication for one particular seizure disorder at the end of June.

    Multiple studies have shown CBD is effective in treating these ailments in humans, but a small pilot study conducted in Colorado has also suggested it may be useful in helping ease tremors in dogs. Researchers at Colorado State University, Fort Collins conducted a study of 16 dogs that suffer from seizures and found 90 percent of those given CBD oil experienced a reduction in seizures versus 20 percent that were given placebo treatment.

    This is not the first time veterinary researchers have investigated the potential health benefits of CBD for dogs. Last year, researchers at the Fort Collins veterinary school sought to determine the effects of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid on arthritis. Other researchers at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and the veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania have also attempted to study the effects of CBD on dogs, but Dawn Booth of Auburn University’s veterinary school was forced to wait for federal approval. Researchers as the University of Pennsylvania halted their study after the DEA declared CBD is still considered part of cannabis’ Schedule I designation.

    In the meantime, the American Veterinary Medical Association has expressed its desire for the DEA to reclassify CBD. “The concern our membership has worries about people extrapolating their own dosages, looking to medicate their pets outside the realm of the medical professional,” Board Chairman Michael Whitehair said last year. “This is an important reason for us to continue the research.”’

    CBD products for pets have gained popularity in the years since legalization has become the norm in states around the country, but there is still limited research on its benefits because of federal laws, which has also hindered research into the use of cannabis for human consumption.

    The small study at Colorado State University shows promise but requires a larger scale. “Although really exciting results, it still has to be taken with a little bit of a grain of salt, because the power of the study is diminished when you don’t have a lot of dogs involved,” said Dr Stephanie McGrath, a veterinary neurologist who led the study, while discussing her findings at a press conference on Monday. “Unfortunately, epilepsy is a fairly common condition in dogs,” she said, noting that there are currently very few options to treat it.

    Though the pilot study was small and requires further research, more in-depth study into the effects of CBD on dogs may open a door for improved care for them, just as it has for humans suffering from similar ailments.

    Autism spectrum disorder affects one in 68 American children, but what’s the relationship between CBD and autism? Parents treating children with CBD?

    Although there are currently no published studies on the subject, there is tons of anecdotal evidence that says CBD and autism is a good fit, especially considering how strong the prescription alternative can be. We did the research and spoke with mothers of children with autism, to teach you how CBD and whole plant medicine can be an effective treatment for autism.

    What is Autism?

    Autism is a developmental disorder that affects people’s ability to communicate and interact with others. It is known as a spectrum because it affects individuals in varying degrees. Some other behaviours that are common in autism spectrum disorder include delayed language, difficulty making eye contact and having a conversation, sensory sensitivities, intense interests, and repetitive behaviour. Because it’s a spectrum, folks with autism may display many or few of these signs – it depends on the individual.

    Autism is frequently accompanied by other medical issues, like gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, sleep disturbances, anxiety, phobias, ADHD, and OCD. But that’s the first place where CBD and autism link, many of those medical issues can be relieved by cannabis.

    What’s more, the inability to communicate can be very frustrating for those with autism. It can cause lead to other behaviours, like anxiety, rage, and self-harm, as well as body rocking and other repetitive self-soothing behaviours. But this is where CBD and autism meet again, because of cannabis’ anti-anxiety and calming effects.

    The Endocannabinoid System and Autism

    The Endocannabinoid system is where the CBD and autism connection really starts to make sense. A lot of autism’s symptoms are directly related to the functions of the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is the largest regulatory system in the body and controls:

    • mood
    • pain
    • sleep
    • appetite
    • pleasure and reward
    • motor control
    • memory

    Plus, our bodies have endocannabinoid receptors in almost every cell. When a 2013 study found dysfunctions in cannabinoid receptors on immune cells in autistic children, it was an “aha” moment for CBD and autism researchers. Could supplementing autistic people with cannabis improve their symptoms?

    CBD and Autism

    Some parents, like Shifra Klein, would say yes. Her 12-year-old son was diagnosed with severe autism at age two and has been on over 13 medications to help control symptoms since.

    “Our son is almost completely weaned off of drugs [since beginning CBD treatment],” says Klein. “He is more focused in school, able to stay on task, understand and follow classroom multi-step directions, complete schoolwork, and is no longer at a ‘plateau’ and able to grasp new concepts. His eye contact is better, his language is more thought-out and he is able to create meaningful sentences and his annunciation is clearer. He also seems happier, in general.”

    CBD and autism have been a great fit for Klein’s son, but because there is practically no clinical evidence for its success, autism isn’t a qualifying condition for medical marijuana in most states. However, the anecdotal evidence is growing and has sparked the formation of activist groups like Mothers Advocating Medical Marijuana for Autism (MAMMA).

    Klein is an early education teacher as well as parent and so she understands the doubt, fear, and stigma parents experience when considering CBD and autism.

    “I still encourage other parents to use resources available to them, such as therapies, but this is such a wonderful addition and has really been effective for us,” says Klein.

    As far as dosing CBD goes, Klein warns it might be a bit of trial and error, but it will be well worth it. She also urges parents to make sure their CBD oil is from a reliable source and is tested by a third-party lab to ensure quality and safety.

    “I would never recommend anything to another child that I would not give to my own,” says Klein. “You will not harm your child by trying CBD to see if it works for them. You will not overmedicate your child with CBD.”

    The Problem with Other Medications

    CBD and autism come as a relief for parents because other drugs prescribed to children with autism are powerful. Often these kids are prescribed Abilify or Seroquel: anti-psychotics not specifically for autism, or children for that matter.

    “You won’t find even one single study that shows what happens to a very young child who’s treated lifelong with antipsychotics,” says Abigail Dar, mother of an autistic son, researcher, and advocate for cannabis for autism in Israel. “None of them [antipsychotic medications] have been targeted for children. I’m talking five [years old].”

    These antipsychotic drugs have tons of negative side effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, stomach pain, and weight gain. And yet, they are most doctor’s first choice for treating autism. However, many criticize them for being too strong and turning kids with social disabilities into zombies. Or, as Dar puts it: “You give it to children who can’t communicate how they feel.”

    Dar also pointed out another troubling dilemma with antipsychotic medications. One of their side effects includes lowering the seizure threshold, yet autistic children are at high risk for epilepsy; 30% of those with autism also have epilepsy. Dar’s son didn’t have epilepsy until he was 16 and she isn’t sure if it was caused by medications for the autism rather than the autism itself.

    “If he didn’t have epilepsy we may have triggered it,” says Dar. “I’m asking now, why did you give my son who’s already at risk for seizures [these drugs]?”

    Cannabis, on the other hand, is anecdotally more effective at treating symptoms and much less harmful. In fact, CBD oil without THC is non-psychoactive and has no side effects aside from possible drowsiness. CBD and autism is such a great match because children are more engaged whereas anti-psychotics leave them the opposite. Plus, hemp-derived CBD oil is available in all 50 states.

    CBD and autism have tons of potential. The anecdotal evidence is building and soon, we’ll have scientific evidence to back it up. For families looking for alternative treatment, CBD and autism might be the answer they were searching for.
