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.
A fantastic story and I sincerely hope he just gets better and better, and better and better!
Joyous news. All the best from the Temple of Ankh’n’Abis/Church of the Sacred Herb.
CBD is not the chemical compound that gets people high. If it was only CBD oil without the THC then marijuana on it’s own would not have helped him due to the fact that most marijuana contains high levels of THC and not CBD. Even if it was a close to pure CBD oil, there would be three times the dose of THC to get a child extremely high. https://learnaboutsam.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/CBD-brochure5.pdf
Anon’s articles and the web site in general has really gone down in quality. I use to come here to get quality information. Not read or watch a political version of Buzz Feed.

And even if it was pure CBD oil, I’m quite sure it was extracted from cannabis plant, or how u think?
Actually, you can get CBD without any THC. In Canada, We have medicinal marijuana companies that have genetically modified plant strains to have only CBD.
I am here to give my testimony about a doctor who helped me in my life. I was infected with AUTISM in 2010, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution out so that my body can be okay. One day I was in the river side thinking where I can go to get solution. so a lady walked to me telling me why am I so sad and i open up all to her telling her my problem, she told me that she can help me out, she introduce me to a doctor who uses herbal medication to cure AUTISM and gave me his email, so i mail him. He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what is happening after two weeks the AUTISM that was in my body got vanished . so if you are also heart broken and also need a help, you can also email him at:[email protected]
You’re an asshole, shut up. You also said you had herpes in another video
AUTISM isn’t like a virus you could get someday Sandra_BOT.
