Patients have reported relief and sometimes a complete cure
of celiac disease after treatment with medical marijuana
Umm.... I don't think so. More likely that the diagnosis was wrong. And while smoking marijuana may have helped these people find relief, there doesn't seem to be a useful way to characterize what has happened.
Joe Cohen, D.O., director of the Holos Health Center in
Boulder, Colorado claims cannabis can cure "leaky gut"
disease. Leaky gut happens in those with gluten sensitivity
similar to celiac disease.
Leaky gut is not a recognized medical condition. Again, it's difficult to claim a substance cured an ailment that cannot be readily identified.
Correlation != causation and all that. There's nothing wrong with admitting ignorance, and much to lose by putting stock into unsubstantiated claims and explanations.
But I guess people have a deep-seated need to have answers. I've always been comfortable with not knowing, but the older I get the more I realize that most people prefer to either 1) to have answers or 2) be blissfully ignorant of the question. So they'll latch onto a plausible explanation as gospel, or outright reject the reality of a situation. People just aren't comfortable possessing presently unanswerable questions and cautiously moving forward.
