Mother Ecstatic: Non-Verbal Autistic Daughter Speaks After Using Iowa CBD Program

Prior to using CBD Oil, Iowan Cory Gaunt’s daughter was non-verbal and taking multiple pharmaceutical medications with multiple side effects.

Since taking the Iowa program’s extremely limited CBD Oil, Cory Gaunt’s gifted daughter has ceased use of her communication device from talk to me technologies. (Like a tablet with pictures and a keyboard so she could type/pick buttons and it would speak for her.)

Her daughter’s struggles with verbal communications were discussed in this 2017 article from the Creston News advertiser:

“Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve.

Lindsay Gaunt of Creston wears a puzzle piece on her leg.

The puzzle piece in permanent ink holds special meaning for Lindsay. Written in a circle around the outer edges of the yet-to-be-completed puzzle piece tattoo are the words “A little girl with autism stole my heart.”

Lindsay raises awareness for autism every day through the tattoo.

Obreigh, the 4-year-old daughter of Lindsay and Cory Gaunt, is autistic.

And, though, life hasn’t been what Lindsay and Cory expected when their first child was born, Lindsay said she wouldn’t change anything.

“It hurts me to see Obreigh struggle with all the things she does, but I wouldn’t change Obreigh for the world,” Lindsay said. “She is an amazing child.”

Today, within weeks of starting her cannabis oil regimen — from a cannabis program that has been massively restricted by Linda Upmeyer’s backroom politicking and by a veto by our unhealthy and mean spirited alcoholic Governor — Cory Gaunt’s daughter can speak with her voice after year’s of sign language communication. Today, she is learning French and Spanish.

Here are some videos from Cory Gaunt’s personal YouTube channel titled “CBD4ASD.” Cory, along with advocates from the organization Iowa Mothers Advocating Medical Marijuana for Autism, successfully petitioned to add pediatric autism to the list of Iowa’s medical cannabidiol program back in 2018.

The difference in the “before CBD” videos and after are so big, one wonders how anyone with a heart can obstruct or deny patient access without bothering to at least ask for patient consent first.
