COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –The X-Change Corporation (NASDAQ OTC: XCHC), a U.S. Company specializing in cannabinoid formulation-based health and wellness solutions, commends CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s reporting on the life saving medical cannabis treatment of child with a severe seizure syndrome. CNN’s coverage is the inspiring life-saving story of a child with Dravet Syndrome, also known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI), who nearly died from 5 years of seizures and ineffective and damaging conventional treatments.
After a year-long study of medical cannabis and first-hand observation of patient outcomes, such as the seizure patient just described, CNN’s Dr. Gupta, a renowned neurosurgeon and medical commentator, publicly announced in an editorial published yesterday that he has reversed his position and now supports patient use of medical cannabis.

Dr. Gupta notes that “[we] have been terribly and systematically misled [about medical cannabis] for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that,” citing a contrary article Dr. Gupta wrote only four years ago for Time magazine. Dr. Gupta continues in his editorial: “… I didn’t look hard enough, until now. I didn’t look far enough. I didn’t review papers from smaller labs in other countries doing some remarkable research, and I was too dismissive of the loud chorus of legitimate patients whose symptoms improved on cannabis.”
The young child reached the point where she could no longer talk, walk, or eat. With little hope of her survival, the young girl’s parents learned that medical cannabis might provide a solution. Despite initial skepticism, under appropriate physician care afforded by evolving laws, the parents and doctors proceeded with treatment. As reported, the first dose of cannabis oil immediately reduced the monthly incidence of their daughter’s grand mal seizures from more than 1,200 to 2 or 3. Further, with a continuing regimen of medical cannabis oil treatment, their daughter’s mental and physiological damage has abated, and she is regaining verbal skills, feeding herself, and riding her bicycle.
