I don't understand how this post got so much reward. These are facts mixed with mumbo jumbo.
Non of the sources provided in the article point to any coherent scientific research and data supporting any of that information, except of some sources about huachansu.
Ayurvedic medicine in based on obsolete knowledge, mostly based in pseudoscience. Designed by ancient society who had poor scientific understanding.
Chinese medicine. Most of Chinese medicine is bullshit too. A lot of it is very dangerous and a lot of it is completely retarded and ecocidal (like rhino horn powder, tiger penis medicaton etc).
Very small percent of it is proven to show some efficacy like huachansu.
Marihuana claims. Myths, incomplete data and scientific confusionism.

Most of SteemSTEM members have almost dropped into coma reading this.
I respect your opinion @logic, and I stand by my work. I invite you to read my entire article as well as read the studies I cited (see references below). I am sure that the studies will give much more scientific detail than my preliminary undergraduate research. Ultimately, in my conclusion I propose that these therapies can be used in conjunction with allopathic medicine (i.e. chemo, radiation, surgical removal) because turmeric, huachansu, and cannabis, when tested, have possessed no dose-limiting toxicity. Thank you for taking the time to offer feedback. Brooke
