A young man from Lycoming County in Pennsylvania is seeing some improvements in his health thanks to CBD oil, a product derived from marijuana, according to reporter Kristina Papa, with ABC- Channel 16
.
Kristina writes: “We first introduced you to Andrew Kriebel in 2013. He can’t talk or walk on his own. He has diabetes, cerebral palsy, and has suffered from seizures since he was just 1 year old.
“His family is still finding ways to give their son the best life possible. Recently, that’s included trying CBD, or cannabidiol, an active ingredient found in marijuana.
“Andrew Kriebel’s parents were told their son would never talk or walk well on his own, but that has not stopped this family from Duboistown from trying.
“We first met Andrew six years ago. With help from his nurse and school aide, Andrew walked two miles to his school where his parents were waiting at the finish line.”
Now he’s dancing. Watch it happen on the ABC website.
