When you hear the word “skin cancer,” you probably think of surgeries, scars, and stressful hospital stays. But what if there was a natural, plant-based approach — one without scalpels, chemo, or side effects?

At CBD & Herb we share the personal and scientifically substantiated story of Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and pioneer in the field of full-spectrum cannabis extracts . When he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (the most common form of skin cancer), he didn't choose the usual medical route. He trusted the plant he had been working with for years: Cannabis sativa .

And with success.

Why would you store the raw, acidic form of CBD or THC instead of heating them to their 'active' version?
According to Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and a pioneer in the use of full-spectrum, unheated cannabis extracts for over 20 years , the answer is crystal clear: because it is precisely the original cannabinoid acids that have the deepest effect on our body .

Could a previously unknown molecule from the cannabis plant make a difference in diseases for which conventional treatment often falls short?
In his latest article, Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and pioneer in full-spectrum extracts, explores the discovery of a new cannabinoid: cannabielsoxa – and the role of natural, unheated cannabis extracts in the fight against, among other things, neuroblastoma , a serious condition in young people.

We all know that cannabis – and specifically its psychoactive compound THC – can temporarily affect memory. But what if the combination of natural compounds in a full-spectrum extract could actually have a supportive or even restorative effect on memory?

That is exactly what Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and scientific partner of CBD & Herb , recently conducted research into. His findings offer a surprisingly nuanced and hopeful perspective on the relationship between cannabis and cognitive function.

Gingivitis in cats is a complex and common condition in which the gums become chronically inflamed. Treatment often poses a challenge for veterinarians, as conventional veterinary medicine offers limited options. Despite antibiotics, pain relief and dental treatments, many cats continue to suffer from persistent symptoms

Gerry is a lively two-year-old dachshund. His owners called the practice in a panic. Gerry suddenly had a lot of pain and was dragging his left hind leg. An MRI scan confirmed what was already feared: a large hernia at L3/L4. An operation seemed inevitable.

But Gerry's owners are familiar with natural medicine. They wanted to try an alternative route first and chose acupuncture, combined with rest, herbs and our CBDa oil - Pets 2% from CBD Spain .

In our modern society, chronic pain is a widespread problem. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people suffer from long-term pain complaints, and the number continues to grow. In the Netherlands alone, an estimated 2 million people suffer from chronic pain – often without a clear medical solution available. Doctors are often left empty-handed, especially when it comes to complex and persistent nerve pains such as MS, facet arthrosis or trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain).

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in dogs that is often treated with heavy-duty medication. Yet, despite this treatment, many dogs continue to have seizures, and their quality of life declines. Bobby's story demonstrates that epilepsy isn't just a brain issue, but can be deeply connected to the entire body, including the intestines, organs, and nervous system.

Bobby was treated with a multidisciplinary, holistic approach that included conventional medication supplemented with CBD (CBDa/CBGa), acupuncture, Chinese herbs, gut support, and a modified diet. This integrated approach improved his digestion, eliminated his head tremors, and significantly reduced the frequency and severity of his epileptic seizures.

This case underscores the importance of looking beyond symptom management. By supporting the body as a whole and identifying underlying imbalances, dogs with epilepsy can achieve a new balance and a significantly improved quality of life.

Sometimes time stands still in my practice. Like that afternoon when Bibi's owner called – one hour before her dog was to be put to sleep.

Bibi, a 12-year-old Spanish rescue dog, had severe kidney failure according to routine blood tests. Her urea and creatinine levels were significantly elevated. The conclusion seemed clear: little hope for the future. But her owner felt the story wasn't complete yet.

And when I saw Bibi—even if it was through a video—I didn't see a dog who had given up. I saw liveliness in her eyes. Alertness. Presence. That didn't match the image of a terminally exhausted animal in end-stage renal failure.

That was the moment we decided to look further.

CBD Spain oil is a unique choice if you are looking for natural support for the well-being of your animals, such as dogs, cats, horses and even other pets. This oil offers many benefits, partly due to the focus on preserving CBDa, a pure and therapeutically powerful form of CBD, which is lost in many other oils on the market due to heating. CBD Spain focuses on careful, artisanal production of high-quality, organic and full spectrum oils, which ensures optimal absorption and effectiveness in both humans and animals.

A strong and balanced microbiome is at the heart of our health. In both humans and animals, the state of our gut flora determines how well we can digest, absorb, repair, and resist pathogens. When parasites or harmful microorganisms disrupt this delicate balance, symptoms such as fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, reduced immunity, and general malaise arise.

Microbiome Balance was developed as a gentle yet effective herbal formula that supports the microbiome and helps naturally ward off parasites—without any harmful side effects. Suitable for humans and animals, in every life stage.
