> what do you think about a rule for this forum to not advocate any drug without mentioning the potential drawbacks?Suggestions are not necessarily advocations. Among the former, I don't often see the latter.
Who would be responsible for screening posts to determine any and all possible adverse events attendant to the treatment suggestions made by the people who post here?
Q: Who would have that kind of expertise?
A: No one.Even the best of clinicians would not claim such expertise.
Check out the verbiage to be found at the top of the main pages of these forums as per Dr. Hsiung:
"Don't necessarily believe everything you hear. Your mileage may vary. The only posts I take responsibility for are my own."
The whole Internet is a sociological experiment.
