Re: People should try different forums
well you are sort of lucky compared to the average person here, realizing what you did.
i guess there are two ways to look at things:
1 it is the individual's responsibility to be discerning and not get trapped into a single mode of thought/ follow a forum a guru
2 forum owners have a responsibility to not entrap people into their webs, especially if their protocols are not working.
i think power flows from the top down, and i wonder sometimes who grants these forum owner privileges. some of these forum owners spell at a 4th grade level. some are so overtly combative and obviously imbalanced at a psychological level that it is almost comical - only it isn't because there are real people in dire need depending on them.
re option 1: how many people in the throes of a gall bladder attack or stage 3 cancer have the presence of mind to be discerning? A: not too many.
that leaves option two, and it seems like there is a whole lot of room for improvement there.
someone posted here a while back that forum owners should be required to reveal their real names and information. i think this would go a long way toward at least keeping things civil and probably hold some of these gurus to a higher standard.
alternative medicine is not where it was 20 years ago. it is not really on the fringes anymore, no matter how pharma and guv try to paint it as such. it really is smack in the mainstream, and curezone as one of the major alternative medicine sites should roll with the times. let's hold some of these forum owners to a higher level of accountability.
the real shame is that the people who fall in between the cracks on curezone and wind up having organs removed, whole bowel resections, massive chemo, etc etc do so not because the proper information isn't here, it happens simply because a certain forum owner or owners overstepped their
boundaries and put their own egos above the health of the individual.
