I have worked with people with various disabilities including CP since 1985. Studies are showing that many conditions with multiple complications are being helped by CBD and CBDA. I have personal health and wellness success using these products for Major Depression And Anxiety Disorder. Google your condition and CBD to see all the research. Let me know if you’re interested in learning more.
