Teepa Snow - Dementia Care Expert Cannabis Helps Dementia - Ep. 2

Desperate to understand more about my mom’s journey, I found Teepa Snow and her Positive Approach to Care. I devoured Teepa's free videos on YouTube, of course read her GEMS book and was eager for more. I signed up for her two-day, in real life Certified Training course and learned how to connect with my mom in a way I thought was no longer possible.

When Teepa came to California, I was thrilled that she was willing to sit down and talk about her vast experience with people living with dementia and what she’s seen with respect to how cannabis helps or hurts.

With her no nonsense style, Teepa likens vanilla extract to CBD - not all are created equal.  Teepa reminds us that we don’t have other options and asks us to consider “What’s the harm?...when pain is unremitting, and sleep won’t come...people try things…I have seen remarkable differences...”

We touch on a couple of the studies underway around the world, check em out if you like:

• King's College London  will examine      if Sativex is effective in treating agitation and aggression in dementia.      They will recruit people ages 55-90 living with dementia in care homes.      “Sativex® is a peppermint-flavoured mouth spray that contains a 1:1 ratio      of two key cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant –      delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).”
• Alzheimer’s Society Canada has two studies under way,      and this one presented results at the 2018 Alzheimer’s Association      International Conference in Chicago, IL.  http://alzheimersocietyblog.ca/clearing-the-air-about-cannabis-and-dementia/

We hope you find EP2 with Teepa Snow interesting!
