    Late in 2018 I was diagnosed with CML, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia,I was told then that there is now medication for treating CML and with treatment 98% diagnosed can lead a almost normal life. It turned out I was one of the 2% that did not respond to the medications. Specialists informed me that sadly it was not my silver bullet. Since then every chemotherapy and other medications that has been tried has been unable to curb the production of the rogue cancer cells in my body. Each new drug they tried, the cancer built up an immunity to it and was virtually unstoppable. I could feel my health deteriorating as time went by.The leukemia progressed from Chronic to Acute. In September last year I started taking Hemp based CBD oil twice daily on the advice of friends. Within a month my levels had dropped to a point they thought they were under control. My specialist couldn't believe the turnaround and told me whatever i've been doing or taking keep doing it because it's working. I felt my body,my mindset, everything improving.I felt I was given another chance at life. Then on January 1st this year, The government made the purchasing of CBD oil illegal unless it is purchased from the government provider and with a doctors prescription. Unsubsidised and at the ridiculous price of $88.00 for a 25ml bottle. That is about the amount I was taking per day. So since then it has been financially unattainable and my health has been declining noticeably. All test have shown my levels on the rise again. The only way I will be able to go back to using CBD oil as treatment will be through this givealittle platform. Any donations will be graciously and gratefully received.
