why????

Please tell me why this forum removes posts about success with alternative medicine under the guise that is giving medical advice while people are allowed to talk about their prescription drugs?
I got off to a bad start on this site but thought I would give it another try.
Thanks

Sharing experiences is welcome, making recommendations about specific substances for specific conditions is not allowed. Whether prescription or OTC/natural/herbal, those types of recommendations are best left to medical professionals.

captainkitty, we don't remove any posts unless a rule is broken. Maybe you should re-read them? You're welcome to post your "experience only" with alternative medicines.

Especially this one;

Because if a prescription drug is discussed the interested party would need to speak to their physician in order to obtain it.

If you have a problem captainkitty please go to the moderator who removed your post or to an Administrator.

You can contact them by PM.

Newcomers is a forum for people seeking help.

It's really not fair to make threads like this with problems that can be handled other ways.

Thread closed.
