I think it is very important to understand that only MEDICAL DOCTORS are qualified to give MEDICAL ADVICE

These forums are primarily part of a larger SELF HELP COMMUNITY, where people share experiences and information with one another.

It is always recommended that everyone consult with a qualified medical professional on EVERYTHING related to their health

We all should be aware of the difference between dispensing medical advice without the qualifications to do so and in sharing anecdotal or experiential information about illness and its treatments.


I would also like to remind all members that the way to deal with any post that you feel needs admin/mod attention is to use the REPORT button to the lower left of all posts.That way DocJohn and the rest of the admin/mod team immediately are alerted to the post/thread and can investigate the report and, if necessary, act.
If you prefer not to report that way, please PM us with a link to the post (click number button top right of each post and copy URL to us)

I am truly hoping that we can see this forum return to a place where members seeking advice and support and information can come for open and supportive discussion

thanks
Cheri
