0:00.0 | Welcome guys to episode 218 of Behind the Shield podcast. As always, my name's James Gearing, |
0:04.7 | and I am so excited to introduce this week, pediatric ER physician, cannabis medicine physician, |
0:12.1 | and author of the book Cannabis Revealed Dr. Bonnie Goldstein. Now, this is an area that I really |
0:18.3 | wanted to expand my knowledge and then obviously bring that knowledge to you guys as well. I'm a huge advocate for CBD. It's the product that we can safely |
0:26.0 | take as first responders if there is no THC in it. But the THC has incredibly healing powers as well. |
0:33.3 | And you'll hear how Dr. Goldstein came across the cannabis medicine whilst trying to help a friend |
0:38.5 | who had cancer herself. |
0:40.1 | Once she was on that road, she realized the amazing healing properties it was having in autism, |
0:45.3 | in seizures and even in pediatric cancer. |
0:48.4 | So I really want to tell this story. |
0:51.0 | On top of that, you will hear me mention about red pill medical CBD that I take. This is a |
0:56.1 | pure CBD. There is zero THC in it. You can request the lab reports for each batch. And I've been |
1:03.1 | taking it for over a year with incredible results. And they have offered you guys, a listener, |
1:07.9 | 20% off any of their CBD products. So the one I use is a Daily Gold, |
1:12.8 | zero THC. If you go to my website, James Gearing.com or Red Pills Medical's website, and then use |
1:19.7 | the code shield, S-H-I-E-L-D, you will get a 20% off any of the products that you use. But like I |
1:25.6 | said, if you get tested at work, make sure it's |
1:28.0 | a zero THC CBD. So with all that being said, before we get to the interview, please go to your |
1:35.1 | podcast app. Make sure you subscribe. Take a moment just to leave a rating. Five stars are great. |
1:40.3 | And then leave some feedback. I love reading your comments and then take your social media |
1:44.5 | and share these incredible episodes. This particular one has knowledge that you just don't hear |
1:49.3 | very often, people talking about cannabis and medicine in the same sentence. So please share these |
