A woman who committed suicide after taking a cocktail of strong prescription drugs to control her chronic pain has revealed how taking CBD oil allowed her to quit her medication.
Jade Proudman, 42, of North Yorkshire, watched a documentary on the benefits of CBD oil, which contains less than 0.2 per cent of the psychoactive substance THC.
He told presenters Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby this morning that he was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that causes extreme fatigue and does not improve with rest.
But things came to a head in 2012 when he collapsed at home, experiencing slow-moving intestinal motility, which is a reduced motility of the large intestine caused by abnormalities of the enteric nerves.
As a result, she was rushed to the hospital where she underwent a series of emergency surgeries and was left with a temporary stoma.
Over the next year, Jade’s health declined rapidly, to the point that doctors told her husband and three children to say goodbye.
Luckily, Jade turned a corner, but struggled both physically and mentally, as she was left with a daily cocktail of strong prescription drugs, such as morphine, to control her pain, which caused her several complications.
She underwent 10 surgeries within 12 months and was later diagnosed with reactive arthritis and epilepsy.
The mother told presenters Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby how she suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and collapsed at home in 2012 after experiencing slow-moving bowel motility.
The mother of three said she committed suicide after feeling “out” around her children.
She decided to take out all her pain medication and her husband, Leslie, suggested that she should try some CBD products.
After watching the 2013 documentary Weed, Jane contacted Joel Stanley, creator of Charlotte’s Web CBD, for help.
The documentary was followed by a five-year-old Charlotte Figi who had Dravet’s syndrome, a rare and serious form of epilepsy.
Jade Proudman, 42, of North Yorkshire, said CBD oil helped her overcome her chronic pain on this morning’s ITV show.
The child went from having a few seizures a day to not having one for seven days after taking the vegetable products.
In 2014, the Stanley brothers founded a company of the same name, Charlotte’s Web CBD, in his honor.
Despite being skeptical of cannabis in advance, Jade thought that maybe he could help her too.
Not knowing how to access the product, Jade tweeted Joel Stanley, the creator of Charlotte’s Web CBD, for help.
He went straight back to her and in 10 days a web package from Charlotte was on his doorstep.
She spoke with Holly and Phil about the day she was rushed to the hospital where she underwent a series of emergency surgeries and was left with a temporary stoma.
After taking CBD, he said that after “48 hours I felt like someone was getting the fog out of my head.”
She said: “I felt alert and optimistic and quite surprised at how very different I felt physically, I had no anxiety.”
Jade discovered that she was able to control her pain without “getting” the prescription drug she used to take.
He admitted that “he felt alert and optimistic” and “quite surprised at how different” he felt physically.
WHAT IS CBD OIL AND HOW CAN IT HELP WITH PAIN?
CBD oil is a legal cannabinoid that can be sold in the UK.
CBD contains less than 0.2% of the psychoactive substance THC.
The oil has been thought to have some medicinal properties, such as relieving inflammation, pain and anxiety.
Researchers at the National Biotechnology Information Center believe it may change the way brain receptors respond to a mental health-related chemical. 
Government advisers legalized the purchase of CBD supplements in 2016
The effects of CBD oil on brain receptors can also help you control your pain. Studies have shown that cannabis can offer some benefits when taken after chemotherapy treatments.
Nabiximols (Sativex), a drug for multiple sclerosis made from a combination of TCH and CBD, is approved in the UK and Canada to treat MS pain.
Suppliers in England and Wales must obtain a license to sell CBD as a medicine.
Manufacturers can avoid strict regulation by selling it as a food supplement, ignoring the lengthy process of obtaining a medical license.
CBD products come in many forms, the most popular being an oil – which users spray under the tongue – or ice pills that slowly melt in your mouth.
MHRA government advisers found that CBD has a “restorative, corrected, or modifying” effect on humans.
Cannabis oil, which is different from CBD oil because it contains THC, a compound that gives users a “high” – is illegal under UK law.
Billy Caldwell, from Castlederg, Northern Ireland, made headlines last April when he became the first Briton to be prescribed the NHS.
Cannabis oil, which is said to have no side effects, influences the release and absorption of “feel good” chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin.
