> Unfortunately there was some truth in what the poster said. As of late almost every answer started with some good advice but he began to always go off on a tagent into his alternative theories. Now it is one thing to post them once as I cannot comment on their valididy. But it was beginning to gather resentment from some people that every post started in one direction with some good med advice and than veered off course into his other theories. He was becoming obsessed with these theories that some didn't even understand. Maybe they were more appropriate in the alt med section.
I really appreciated Bleauberry's balanced approach. He knew a lot about meds and advocated their use, but also encouraged people to consider underlying problems they may have overlooked. And he knew a lot about alt treatments that many have probably never considered.
I have to admit that I used to be extremely skeptical of non-traditional approaches myself, but through Bleauberry and others have learned that there is some real science behind some of it, and potential benefit for many of us. I think that as time goes on, a lot more of this stuff will become mainstream. I think Bleauberry was quite good at evaluating what therapies actually had merit, and he was a great asset to babble in that regard.
I don't think it was possible for Bleauberry to put his answers in the alt section in those instances when the threads he was responding to were started here. And, although the information he shared might have seemed repetitive to frequent readers, I'm really glad he took the time to share it again with new posters. Otherwise, they probably would never have gotten exposed to it.
