There are a lot of posts all over these forums where we are being very less than carefull with what we are telling people about their various symptoms and giving our diagnosis to them with suspicions of other diseases to look out for and to be tested for.

There is no way humanly possible to know who you are talking to nor what their upfront medical problems are.

You can help in that you relate what your own personal problems have been and how you related to treatment but it remains a black hole you are talking to to try and tell them what they should or should not do.

In my own condition to tell me to fall back on nutrients is to sign my death warrant. Nutritional supplements are in that same avenue of non usage along with even every day spices we use.

I know some here think that the patient is the one with the final decision and that is true but to instill in them the distrust of the medical profession and to insist they try anything without the consultation of their doctor FIRST AND FOREMOST is to take on your shoulders the responsibillity whatever the outcome will be.

The very fact that the various medical professions take years of medical training certainly should allow you the thought that they see the human being in front of them and know all the related facts pertaining to them while we see them on a screen and can not even be sure they have any ailment at all let alone the one they are asking for help with.

Yet we recommend various vitamins and supplements as fast as they ask.

This is not good

Think about it and realize it is a person behind that screen who may just need to go back to their doctor or see another one to find help.

It can't come from us.

Hints on equiptment yes

Personal experience yes

Advice on mineral or nutrients or even the most one seen here B12 are a no no

Sorry but if only one is hurt with loose advice it is one too many for me.
