I know what you're saying, but IMO, this can be a VERY [All 5 types of emphasis] slippery slope. There's a disclaimer at the bottom of every page on this site:

There's a similar disclaimer at the bottom of every post I make. They are not just rhetoric; they're there for a very good reason. Without taking anything away from knowledgable, well-meaning advice/people on online support groups, whether wrong or right, WE ARE NOT DOCTORS HERE. We don't have their knowledge, expertise, or access to many resources they do; doctors know your medical history - ALL of it, the results and accepted interpretations/meanings of test results - ALL of them, and a lot more that well-meaning and knowledgable people on the internet do not have.

There are some very good reasons why neuros and other doctors don't know much about alternative therapies: They're a dime a dozen, and taken in whole, MOST so-called "alternative therapies" are bunkum, pseudo-science, and/or snake-oil. Many of them have been discussed on this site. Much of what you may read here are not alternative therapies, but early research, backed up by legitimate studies that just haven't made it into the mainstream - yet. There's a vast difference between that and "alternative therapies" which can include... just about any claim any screwball decides to make.

I have learned much on this site and on many other websites as well, but I have not taken ANY advice given here or elsewhere without running it past my own doctors FIRST, and neither should anyone else. If someone doesn't like what their doctor says, they should find another doctor before blindly following advice given on the internet.
