In 2016, I was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytosis, a condition characterized by an overproduction of platelets. For the past six years, my platelet count averaged a concerning 698.5. However, a breakthrough came when I began using Peter Vermeul’s whole-plant cannabis extract formulation.
After just 60 days of treatment, my most recent test (August 9, 2024) showed a dramatic decrease in my platelet count to 528—a remarkable 25% improvement!
This progress is more than just numbers on a chart; it’s a testament to the power of cannabis as a healing agent. My journey into cannabis advocacy is fueled by this real, measurable impact on my health. Seeing such significant improvement motivates me to continue pushing for broader access and understanding of cannabis in the medical community.
I believe in the potential of this plant to change lives, just as it has changed mine. My passion for advocacy stems from a deep commitment to ensuring others can experience these same benefits.
The Bigger Picture
Essential Thrombocytosis affects approximately 3 in 100,000 people annually.
Despite growing evidence, cannabis remains a Schedule I substance in many countries, limiting research and access.
Stories like mine highlight the urgent need for more comprehensive studies on cannabis-based treatments.
