  1. I’m only experiencing slight tremors in my head when I’m trying to stay still. What would you recommend to do to stop these tremors or to contain them?

  2. hello my name is breno I am 17 years old I smoke marijuana for almost two years. I started with TE when I moved from one state to another. I live in Brazil. I smoke marijuana my body shakes my head shakes and my hands shakes too. I can't stand and look people in the eye without shaking. when i don't smoke yet i do. but I have more self control of my body. Could marijuana be causing these concerns to me? for almost 2 years without leaving the house because I have it. it is difficult to live like this.. 🙁

  3. It's crazy after all this time, none of these doctors or researchers know about the effects of cannabis, but they all know exactly the effects of Big Pharma poisons.

  4. Hello Dr. My grandmother has pretty heavy essential tremors refuse to go to a doctor for treatment, she accepted to test canabis for treatment. I would like to have more information about canabioid dosage for essential tremors were could I reach you or someone qualified to help me with this goal. Thank you for your time

  5. i was 45, now 47, when i started to shake my head, i'm now at a point where my shoulders and upper back are starting to shake as well, and i cant stand it
    i have a couple of mental issues as well, a little bit of narcissism so this is not good for my self esteem, i avoid people
    also my dad had parkinsons at a very early age, i think he was ~40, i was 6 when he fell down went to a hospital and right after in a nursing home and he never returned, he was in there for 12 years, bedridden, till he died of pneumonia, so that plays a role in my head as well
    the last couple of months i've tried smoking cannabis and the shaking "calmed down" if its the result of less stress/anxiety i dont know
    tremor gives me stress and stress causes more tremors, so im stuck

    i havent tried cbd oil yet but seeing what it does to parkinsons patients i think i might try it
    if you have any ideas on how to calm it down, pls help, i really cant stand it
    i have had a brain scan, went to a neurologist, twice, but she couldnt see anything specific
    i know parkinsons usually starts with hands and shakes more while doing stuff and tremor the opposite, but its still in the back of my head
    oh, yeh, i have eye migraine as well, with auras, loads of em, sometimes 3-4 times a day for 3 days in a row, tho the last couple of months (with cannabis) they have appeared maybe 2 times, i get indications a day before the migraines, somber – down, colors more intense, light hurts my eyes but no auras or headaches with cannabis
    sorry for the wall of text 🙂

  6. Many years ago I was diagnosed with benign essential tremor. At the time the doctor told me that they were not having very good results with most of the treatments. He also told me that if it wasn’t bothering and if I could live with the shaking that it really wouldn’t do me any harm by not treating it and at the time it wasn’t so I elected to just accept the shaking and to move on with my life. Over the years, the tremors have gotten worse, at times I can’t even write my name and need 2 hands to drink a glass of water. The one thing that I have found that make my hand steady as a rock is alcohol but I also know that I can not treat my tremors that way.
    Now I am retired and most every hobby that I would like to pursue I can't are their a testing or trials that I would qualify for?

  7. Thank you Dr. Nahab for pursuing this clinical research. I have been self treating my own ET for 5 years with CBD infused oil, applied topically to the back of my neck at the hairline, and have seen consistent reduction of my ET. When I have a stressful event, I apply more and see calming in a few minutes. I can't wait for the results of your study, and encourage you to explore topical applications as well.

  8. Be ye first in your field Dr as we do here in Italy are grow thousands of plants without funding….. my husband is 100% on the cures …..thanks again
