Reddit reviews Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine

If you ignore what I like to call "fad health" and do some reading, you'll find that there are many reputable scientific studies showing that some of the natural stuff actually works. The book Scientific Validation Of Herbal Medicine is a good read, for example. There are also many links online to controlled university studies showing the effects of many different foods, spices, herbs, oils etc.

For example: Here's a study reported by the American Association For Cancer Research showing that capsaicin kills and inhibits prostate cancer cells in vivo: link.


There's also a study showing that curcumin is comparable in effectiveness to ibuprofen as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, without any known side effects. This, and a few other studies, are on the wiki page.


Interesting stuff.

There are numerous studies showing that many natural treatments actually do work. I just hope you aren't confusing this with something like prayer.

This book has been around for years. And it’s only 1 of thousands of books on the subject. THE SCIENCE OF HEALING HERBS. Too bad you haven’t read a single fucking one, you ignorant piece of shit. Fuck you and your stupidity.
