Bipolar Health Group needs medicine

Donation protected
We, as a family, and as an organization, need your help. Bipolar Health Group provides information and theraputic supplementation for people who struggle with mental illness and the cost of new medical resources. 

Our mission is the remission of mental illness
 because for 5 years, we have lovingly cared for a loved one in our family - who was sweet and talented in high school - and became mentally disabled at the age of 20.

The feeling of sadness, stress and despair is unbearable. Our loved one went from "having a life" - to being hospitalized for days, and weeks. People like this are given powerful anti-psychotic, mood-stabilizing pharmaceutical drugs that have horrible side effects. The struggle begins. 

EVERY person who is saddled with mental health issues HATES these drugs. The family is torn over the disability and the treatment limitations. Some people get decent results, but 50-90% stop taking their prescribed medications at some point because of the side effects: weight gain, dizziness, brain fog, nausea, social withdrawal, involuntary muscle spasms and more. 

But clinical research has led us to a huge success story! 
We spent two years and found multiple clinical studies and reviews with evidence about an anti-psychotic chemical compound shown to treat mental illness with NO SIDE EFFECTS. We're using it and it works. 

We use this promising remedy in our family. It reduces psychosis and anxiety. It's completely DIFFERENT because it causes NO side effects, no inhibited communication, social withdrawal or "I'm on psych drugs." stigma. We need your help to afford it and to get it to more people.

The active ingredient is Cannabidiol (CBD).

CBD already has an established record of success treating epilepsy and being highlighted on CNN, The View, NBC Dateline, NPR, CBS News, 60 Minutes, Dr. Oz, MSNBC or read about it in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, The LA Times, The Denver Post, etc. 

We've actually met with doctors and researchers who are involved in establishing CBD as a promising therapy. But it's almost unheard of in the offices of the psychiatrists who routinely treat mental illness. 

We seen with our own eyes that it reduces bipolar "negative" symptoms (anger, moodiness, upset sleep, "mania," depression) by 90% at high doses. We've seen it reduce "positive" symptoms (hearing voices, seeing things, altered reality, mis-perception) by 15% at the doses we've used. 

More people will benefit from this clinically proven remedy with the help of your donation now. Margaret Pirri withdraws the GoFundMe donations on behalf of the Bipolar Health Group organization

We AGREE with the scientists

Research studies show, not only is CBD amazing for bipolar/schizophrenia in high doses, it can be used to combat depression and anxiety when using lower doses. The relief from stress is felt throughout the whole family

But CBD is not covered by insurance and it's not cheap. We've bought a lot of it. That's our commitment to family. 

Please help us make CBD available for our family and for many other families who don't have the financial resources to afford on-going use of this remedy. Any amount helps us. Hemp oils with CBD can be safely administered to young people and adults alike. Our mission is the remission of mental disorders. 

I'll talk about cool science next, but now, would you please help us with a donation! Help us get this done! Together we can make a huge difference. We will happily do all the planning, legwork, info-website (http://bipolarhealthgroup.org) and distribution needed to help our family and at least 15 -20 more people get medical-CBD in 2017.

Science, up close and personal

We've read the clinical studies and medical reviews. CBD is clinically shown to be BETTER than the pharmaceutical anti-psychotic drugs that were tested, because there are NO SIDE EFFECTS. [See reference #1 below] and we only use theraputic hemp, not medical marijuana. 

We've met with Dr. Daniele Piomelli and Dr. Ethan Russo, [reference #2] and we've experienced the results and we agree with their scientific findings.

Other people are ready to use this remedy. Please help us give them this gift. We've already started and we will help guide them. It's available right now and it's clinically shown to be safe. [Reference #3}

No hocus-pocus either.

We are on-board with doctors. WE DO NOT EVER suggest that patients stop any prescribed medications. Visit http://bipolarhealthgroup.org - you'll see that we insist on staying in-sync with medical professionals. We WANT the doctors to see the university studies and our results. 

With your donation, we will give Charlotte's Web Hemp Oil and Pharmaceutical-grade pure CBD to our family and to others who struggle with the web-thin mental health system that practically drops you off at your front door saying, "This is the worst, and you'll figure out how to manage." 

Schizophrenia and bipolar are not something that you just "figure out." It takes support and learning new skill sets, which is a staggering undertaking. 

We've already started

From New York to California, we are already providing people with Charlotte's Web Hemp Oils and pure pharmaceutical-grade CBD. We are not sponsored by these great companies nor are we employed by them. We are their customers for life.

These manufacturers follow FDA guidelines and state that their products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We agree it's good to be careful, but the FDA is 10 years behind actual medical science.

Everyone we work with is shown the medical science.  Here's a sample: CBD has potential neuro-restoritive properties. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26556726

Help us open new doors.

People can experience remission from mental health issues and get back to their jobs, friends and start living a meaningful life again. We don't oppose the present "system ," but we agree with Dr. Ethan Russo who said, "CBD will be the mental illness medication of the future."

And while the statements made here by Bipolar Health Group have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, CBD is actually included in a medical patent held by the U.S. government as a neuroprotectant, which shows no signs of toxicity or serious side effects. It's good for the brain.

Let's do this together

We are starting out gradually, but our goal is to assist as many people as possible, depending on your generous contributions. God bless you and thank you for your kindness and generousity
