Charlotte Figi was just three months old when she had her first seizure. It was a grand mal seizure, the most serious kind, and lasted 30 minutes. That was only the beginning. The number of seizures kept increasing. By the time she was three, Charlotte needed a wheelchair. By age five, Charlotte was having up to 300 grand mal seizures per week. Then, Charlotte’s grandfather discovered that cannabis oil had helped another child who also had Dravet Syndrome. Desperate for help, the family tried the oil. They were stunned at the immediate change.
