In his defence , Dr Katelaris slammed the scientific credentials of the HCCC and said the women involved in his pilot study , had good outcomes and he would continue his research . “ What the HCCC didn ’ t mention is that one of them was alive and well and the other showed a substantial reduction in their cancer markers before they resumed conventional therapy and died ”, he said . Dr Katelaris has been referred to police , but he said he was not concerned . “ I ’ ve been referred to police on many different occasions . We do understand that the police are starting to wake up to reality that they now have discretion not to act against people , but if I am approached and duly charged we will defend any matter strenuously on the basis of medical necessity ”. Dr Katelaris said the successful use of cannabis oil among severely
epileptic children spoke volumes . “ Our results in childhood epilepsy have been stunning ”, he said . “ We haven ’ t produced a panacea but we have salvaged more than half of the children that are written off as intractable epileptics and that has actually forced the government to take the steps that they are in doing their own research ”. He said governments needed to hurry up with medicinal cannabis trials .
