I remember the time when alternative drugs/ideas and RX drugs were discussed on the same board and I like there are now separate boards. I believe the redirect was appropriate.

> I'm not sure what additional credentials that would be other than the criteria listed by Dr. Bob and HE chooses the deputies. I believe the deputies do a good job and it is not a job that I believe MOST of us would want to take on.How can a drug be valid to re-direct to alternative?
Then what would decide which drugs should go there and which should not?
Provigil for example is a drug when first introduced,and still now has no approval for any psych use,which makes it a off label drug,and of course this does not get re-directed.
So i ask you what is the determing factor that is responsable for a drug being moved to alternative.It obviously isnt simply off label as i mentioned we dicsucc here off label all the time,ultram provigial just to name a few.
Alternative is for people who want non-drug therpaies,herbs,nutrients,over the counter supplments,accunpuntuce etc,if we include any drug what so ever,then again what becomes the determinging factor of what goes,what stays.
I say this because i dont go to alternative here,and i dont want to miss out on information on possable drugs like the one in question because it was for what i feel wrongly placed.
If we are gonna place drugs in alternaitve,then we have quite a problem on how to dtermine what goes where........also i dont appreciate the caps used in your post,im not stupid,and would have understood your pount fully without them,Your reply dident answer anything,and honestly simply doesent surprise me as it seemd as a post of a friend comming to the aid of another when that isnt the issue,my concern is genuine,i dont want to miss out on information i could use because it is moved to another part of the group.
This answer your reply gardenr girl as well,which is i would be concerned on whoever moved it.
As far as who would want the job of deputy,this comment is again simply a comment of a friend backing another,reason being it answers nothing,has nothing to do with the concern,sure no one might not want the job,still doesent apply to the concern i have about someone with that much authrioty on here and having such a job as one does,what type of credinatials are needed,has nothing to do with whether garden girl is the nicest sweetest person in the world,i just feel being in charge of the groupd rquires a certain amount of knowledge,such i know i dont have,someone like ed uk or something i could see more fitting,meaning someone with a broad knowledge base.
