PADUCAH, Kentucky – Primarily I’d like to hear from my Dystonia friends tonight but the question(s) I have are open. Meaning anyone outside of them is welcome to answer it as well. As a civil society we are better off with all points of view anyways, right?

Got a quick question(s) for all my #dystoniaawareness friends: Where do you all stand on med. #marijuana? Helpful of harmful for #dystonia?

I wondered tonight, posed the question(s) earlier on twitter today, “Where do you all stand on med. #marijuana? Helpful of harmful for #dystonia?” So far, I’ve only heard from one of my friends. So far.

A Medical Medusa overlaid a Marijuana Leaf …

Medical marijuana has cured, in fact its base, rather the marijuana plant’s base, THC has been known to cure thousands if not hundreds of thousands of diseases, cancers, seizures and more. Science, medicine are that much farther down the road of advancement toward the wonder-working power of this little green plant. It is, for all intents and purposes the peanut of its day.

Madame Marie Curie …

The late great Dr. George Washington Carver and Madame Marie Curie herself would dare to live to experiment on such a plant. Science and medicine herself are still unlocking its little green doors long after the bones of both such medical and scientific geniuses have passed from this life to the next.

So I’m wondering with the clearly devastating effects that this disease, dystonia, has on millions around the world, where my friends would stand on the encroachment of such a subject, such a possibility? Would the Dystonia Community be open to treatment of this disease by way of the cannabis plant and its component THC?

Leave me a comment guys.

“What is Dystonia?” FACT #Meme …

PADUCAH, Kentucky — I had a Great Uncle who had M.S. and it was terrible. No matter how hard he tried he could not control his body. His body controlled him. He was the finest man I ever knew, not because he was my Uncle but because of his insistence and persistence to live a normal, happy, long and full life. “Disease be damned,” he would say. He lived to be 86 before he passed from this life to the next with a smile on his face.

He had worked for the railroad for 32 years as an electrician. Married for fifty years to his high school sweat heart, and they had two beautiful children. And although MS is not Dystonia there are similarities to be had in it and ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Despite the setbacks my friends live their lives with a smiles on their faces, like my Great Uncle insistent and persistence. No retreats. No regrets. No surrender. I have found a profound sense of life in the eyes, smiles and faces of these outstanding people as I have gotten to know so many. They keep on keeping on. Always looking for that next big challenge to overcome. And for that they have my profound respect and admiration.

To that end I am going to up the ante, raise the stakes that much more for Dystonia Awareness.

I’m deeply honored to call so many with this disease friend. And will continue to do all I can to raise awareness for the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation.

Partnering with them to raise awareness and to find a cure for this disease. Find out more about how you can get on board here. Thank you friends! Peace.

P.S. Recently my friends started this petition to make the Month of September, “National Dystonia Awareness Month” (WhiteHouse.gov’s website, “We The People). I would like to invite you to take a look at their petition and respond as your heart leads. Thank you!

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Recently I made some new social media friends, The Dystonia Foundation of America. The friendship has been my honor and my privilege to make. They have proved informative, educational and positive as we work toward both a cure and informing the World of this DISEASE.

Simply put and simply stated Dystonia disease is a neurological disease. Much like that of ALS or  Lou Gehrig’s disease. Often times crippling. Often times fatal. It renders our fellow human beings useless in so many ways and it is unfortunate.

My new social media friends reached out to me through twitter, and it has been a budding friendship ever since. But our interests in each other doesn’t end there. Instead I have decided to join arms with my new friends to  petition President Obama to make the Month of September National #DystoniaAwareness Month!

Although cures for this disease are rare and still limited in scope they are becoming more advanced as science and technology catches up with it. It is my sincere hope and fervent prayer that all who read this posting will join with us. Link arms. And work together to both fight this disease and make the World well aware of it. Thank you for your time and consideration always. Follow this and other blogs anytime here or to the right side of the post.

Peace.
