At 10 months of age,
Kalel Santiago of Puerto Rico was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called
neuroblastoma. He endured chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and surgery for two
years—and survived.
Then
he was diagnosed with something permanent: severe autism that disabled him from
speaking.
“While
he was in the hospital, we noticed he didn’t speak at all and had some behavior
that wasn’t right, like hand flapping, and walking on his toes,” his father
Abiel Gomez Santiago told Yahoo News. “But we waited until he was 3 and
cancer-free to look at his behavior.”
According
to Yahoo, “He and his wife Gladys — also parents to two older boys, now 18 and
20 — did a cram course in educating themselves on autism. They tried various
schools and therapies and eventually found impressive success with a unique
surf-therapy school near their home.”
Eventually,
the Santiago family stumbled upon a treatment of real potency and potential:
CBD oil.
Through
a fundraising program, they were able to receive a tiny bottle of the oil.
Kalel was given oral doses twice a day.
Within
just two days, he was finally able to speak. “He surprised us in school by
saying the vowels, A-E-I-O-U. It was the first time ever,” Abiel said. “You
can’t imagine the emotion we had, hearing Kalel’s voice for the first time. It
was amazing. The teacher recorded him and sent it to my wife and me and we said
well, the only different thing we have been doing is using the CBD.”
Soon
after, he began using consonants, too, speaking like his parents never thought
possible.
“He
said, ‘amo mi mama,’ ‘I love my mom,’” Abiel says. “I don’t know how to thank
[the CBD oil makers].”
Kalel’s
story is yet another piece of evidence piling onto the mountain of support for
cannabis oil and full marijuana legalization. Please share this with as many
people as possible!
