'''Why natural therapeutics''': In the Spring of '''2017''' [[User:Jukeboksi|my]] late dad, Mauri Heikkurinen (RIP) fell ill with [[w:Acute myeloid leukemia|Acute myeloid leukemia]] (AML). I had heard on a cursory level that cannabinoids could help with cancer so I started doing a little research on how CBD oil could help my dad's condition. This '''natural therapeutics''' article grew out of that. Dad passed away in September 2017, but I am hopeful that the information in the article can help people find relief from natural therapeutics for their condition.
 
'''How is this organized?'''
 
The main content is organized alphabetically by illness and then in subheadings alphabetically by natural therapeutic with the linked studies and reporting in reverse chronological order. Some diseases are listed under the group they belong to.
 
Additionally subsections of '''[[#Garden]]''' are organized per natural therapeutic alphabetically and contains intra-article links to the illnesses where the natural therapeutic appears to have had an positive effect on.

[[File:Amyloid-beta.png|thumb|right|300px|Modeled is the toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|β-amyloid]] transmembrane protein structure.]]
Cannabis has been found to be beneficial for [[w:Alzheimer's disease|Alzheimer's]] sufferers. Especially true this is for THC which inhibits the formulation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes Alzheimer's disease.
 
[[File:Cannabis sativa kz05.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[w:Cannabis sativa|Cannabis sativa]] seedling in Poland could use a little water.]]
 
Cannabis has been found beneficial to [[w:Alzheimer's disease]] sufferers. This is strongly supported by in-vivo i.e. animal "model" studies, where they cause a similar disease in the test animals and then try different substances on them and see which ones are doing well and which ones are not.
 
It would seem that [[w:Tetrahydrocannabinol]] (THC) is better than any other chemical we know at inhibiting the formation of toxic [[w:Amyloid beta|beta]] [[w:amyloid|amyloid]] protein plaque on braincells which causes the deteriation in Alzheimer's disease, but have a look yourself. (own assesment based on abstracts of in-vivo studies and reporting)

The antiarthritic effects of ginger are particularly intriguing as these studies suggest that the antiarthritic bioactivity of this Zingiberaceae involves additive and/or synergistic effects of multiple components, including, but not limited to, the gingerols.''
