🚀 Amazing Turnaround: From Wheelchair to Jogging in Minutes! 🚀
Meet Steve Willis, a 72-year-old with Parkinson’s whose life turned around after he tried medical cannabis. Diagnosed in 2020, Steve’s symptoms worsened over the years, trapping him in a wheelchair at times. But everything changed during a holiday in Jamaica when he had a chance encounter with cannabis, thanks to a fellow hotel guest.
🌿 After inhaling vaporised cannabis, something extraordinary happened—within just eight minutes, Steve stood up and started walking. It didn’t stop there; he even jogged along the beach, leaving his wife, Merryl, in tears of joy. Talk about a holiday miracle!
Back in the UK, the couple explored the possibility of a medical cannabis prescription. The NHS doesn’t offer it for Parkinson’s, but through a private clinic, they discovered a legal way to obtain it. This new prescription has enabled Steve to ditch his wheelchair for indoor mobility and re-embrace his hobbies, including walking football—activities he thought were long gone.
While Steve’s story is phenomenal, there’s ongoing debate and scarce scientific research on the effectiveness and safety of medical cannabis for Parkinson’s. However, new high-quality clinical trials may soon shed more light.
🌠 For those wondering, Steve’s monthly prescription costs about £30, and despite some health risks associated with cannabis, he’s willing to trade potential future health issues for the ability to enjoy life today. As Merryl beautifully put it, “I’d pay 50 times that for Steve to be able to walk again.”
This inspiring tale highlights the potential of medical cannabis to change lives, bringing hope to many struggling with similar conditions. Could this be a new frontier in Parkinson’s treatment? The future looks promising! 💪
