She takes cannabis oil to manage her seizures after developing a mystery illness just days after her first birthday. Her life became extremely difficult, as she was unable to walk, talk, eat or drink. But her parents say she has now recovered to a \u2018miraculous\u2019 extent, and now smiles while watching cartoons while she hasn\u2019t had a seizure in months. They credit her recovery to cannabis oil, which they had to obtain on the black market at first because it is rarely prescribed in the UK. Louise Bostock, 33, even faced having her daughter taken from her after she admitted to nurses she had been buying it illegally.<\/p>\n<p>But she and Jayla\u2019s dad Charisma Agbonlahor \u2013 brother of Aston Villa star Gabby \u2013 have now been given clearance to give their daughter the drug, although they have to import it themselves from Holland. Louise, from Erdington, says she has no regrets about breaking the law as she will do whatever it takes to ease the suffering of her child \u2013 who doctors believed would live no longer than four years.<\/p>\n<p>She wants cannabis oil to be made available for those children who, like her own daughter, struggle through prolonged pain. At present, a cannabis-based medicine is available to those suffering multiple sclerosis, but not on prescription. Louise told the Sunday Mercury: \u2018Jayla has been allowed to use it, so why haven\u2019t others been allowed to use it? This has to happen. \u2018She is my child, she is unique and I will do whatever I can to save her life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Louise explained: \u2018When Jayla was born there was nothing wrong with her. \u2018But then, just days after her first birthday, she stopped breathing and kept going blue. She was rushed to hospital where she remained for five months. \u2018At first they thought it was epilepsy. But eventually they couldn\u2019t diagnose her and I was told that she wasn\u2019t expected to survive. \u2018Meanwhile, I was pregnant with our son Junior and when Jayla was on her death bed, I went into labour.\u2019 Nothing seemed to help Jayla and Louise was getting desperate. \u2018Medication didn\u2019t work and so I want to take her to be blessed in the Holy water of Lourdes and to bathe her in the healing lakes.\u2019 Doctors at Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital revealed Jayla, then four, was resistant to conventional medication.<\/p>\n<p>In desperation, Louise found some articles proclaiming the alleged medicinal benefits of cannabis oil. Louise was given clearance to use the drug in 2015 after being called to a \u2018safeguarding meeting\u2019, yet obtaining the oil \u2013 administered through Jayla\u2019s stomach or rubbed on her gums \u2013 remains something of a covert operation. She still cannot obtain it through prescription and purchases cannabis packages from Holland. An \u00a380 order will last one month.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Jayla used to be hospitalised every three or four weeks with seizures. Now she can go months without one,\u2019 adds Louise. \u2018She is smiling and happy and has so much more life. She used to be comatose and slept all day. \u2018But she has started to eat properly and now watches TV with a smile on her face. I heard her laugh out loud for the first time \u2013 can you imagine? \u2018I believe it has saved her life, so it is a good thing. That is why it needs to happen with other children.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/brain-damaged-niece-of-aston-villa-star-saved-by-cannabis-oil.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>News Moderator: Ron Strider <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">420 MAGAZINE \u00ae<\/a><br \/>\nFull Article: <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2017\/10\/02\/brain-damaged-niece-of-aston-villa-star-saved-by-cannabis-oil-6970313\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brain-damaged niece of Aston Villa star &#8216;saved&#8217; by cannabis oil | Metro News<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: Jen Mills Read<br \/>\nContact: <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2017\/03\/24\/useful-numbers-2-4164977\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us: How to get in touch with us at Metro newspaper and Metro.co.uk | Metro News<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto Credit: BPM Media<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metro.co.uk: News, Sport, Showbiz, Celebrities from Metro<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayla Agbonlahor, 6, is the UK\u2019s youngest approved user of Class B drugs.
