In this episode, you will learn that Jody Hendrix from Oklahoma was among more than 2 million US military personnel given the anthrax vaccine in the late 90s. He developed cancerous growths over his body as well as in his lymph system. Doctors said without traditional treatment, he only had 12 to 18 months to live. But Jody refused and began researching and eventually using Cannabis oil along with a form of Cannabis extract called shatter. His journey has not been easy, but he's winning.

A note for the Editors: We strive to provide comprehensive and accurate information within the ECN. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that terminology in the field of Medical Cannabis is constantly evolving and subject to the general public's acceptance. This includes terms like FECO and RSO, which are often used interchangeably to refer to Cannabis oil.
