   Hi friends
   
   My article 'Epiphyllum Oxypetalum or Queen of the Night Flower Health Benefits' failed to be on Discover and instead was placed on HubPages.
   
   Here's the link to my article:  https://hubpages.com/health/epiphyllum- … h-benefits
   
   Appreciate your comment please on what went wrong on the 'QAP'
   
   Thank you

   Hi,
   
   There may be a problem with all those links. I see most of them are studies but perhaps they could go at the bottom of the page. Or taken out till the article gets featured.
   
   I would be very wary about making those medicinal claims anyway. Unless you are a qualified expert in such things. Your bio doesn't say so though. Maybe you have used the plant yourself? You don't mention it.
   
   Personally, I would take out the health benefits section (the parts that require you to have expertise) and keep the traditional uses around the world one.
   
   Also, it's not a 'blog post', it's an article. HubPages isn't a blogging platform. And, I suggest you don't use 'we' unless you are referring to yourself and the reader. Just use 'I' because you are a solo writer, not a team of writers.
   
   Every image must be accredited and carry a legal-to-use license unless it is your own. In which case, say so.
   
   Any or all of those things will prevent your article from being featured.

   I agree with theraggededge. It’s vital that you include a warning within the article that people shouldn’t make assumptions and should seek a doctor’s opinion. This may not be possible for everyone, but it’s still important that the warning exists  Another problem is that reading scientific journals may not be possible for all readers.

   I took a section of your article and got 10% plagiarism hits, which is typical for these articles. I would work on rewriting it to make it your own. I have written many of these for clients, so try to keep the promises of healing to a minimum. Most clients like me to use "may," "check with your doctor," or "studies show." Then, I place a disclaimer at the end.

      Hi K. McHugh
      
      I actually had some of your suggestions but probably not 'properly displayed'.
      
      Will rework on them. Thanks for dropping by and for your help.
