'''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. The 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. | |||
