Child Forced to Undergo Chemotherapy Though Cannabis Could Treat His Cancer
Landon Riddle was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of cancer that afflicts children. Even though ALL is one of the most curable cancers, Riddle’s cancer had progressed so quickly that doctors gave him an 8% chance of living.
The boy was put on the standard four-year chemotherapy treatment plan and he responded well to the treatment for the first couple of months. Things then went downhill for the young Riddle as he became terribly ill.
Riddle developed nerve damage that left him barely able to walk, and he would also throw up constantly. Sierra Riddle, Landon Riddle’s mom, decided to give him CBD concentrated cannabis and it worked wonders.
His red blood cell counts dramatically increased and he no longer needed blood transfusions, as a result of the chemotherapy. He regained his strength and his cancer went into remission. It wasn’t until the cannabis treatments were introduced that he had the dramatic turn around.
Sierra Riddle decided to take her son off the chemotherapy after 6 months after introducing the cannabis therapy, because of the toxicity of the chemotherapy and the damage it was doing to her son.
Sierra Riddle decided to tell her son’s physicians that she had stopped the chemotherapy and they threatened to have child services take her child away from her.
