From: Larry on 27 Apr 2005 19:48 John, Was away on vaca. You certainly have the right to express your views. However, express them in the context of their being YOUR views and YOUR experience ... Specify references if you want, but don't make those references sound like the techniques or substances you recommend have been proven WHEN THEY HAVEN'T. If they have (via valid clinical trials or large-scale studies) great! Let's hear about it. Your style John, comes across in an authoritarian way. There is nothing wrong with that when you have proof or when what you are promoting is a well-known therapy or treatment ... or one that is known to be effective via the methodologies and scientific method that modern medicine has adopted. Sometimes, when I'm not sure about something and I am recommending it to someone for their consideration, I will say something like "I am not a doctor, but I do know of something called xxxxx that has helped some people with this condition. You might want to check with your physician to see if he/she feels this would be a good thing for you to try". See what I mean? Larry E.

We will likely disagree on the level of acceptable proof for some actions. > > Your style John, comes across in an authoritarian way. I thought I come across as anti-authoritarian at times. While at other times, I cite the opinions of other who are the experts though the experts may not be the authorities. For the latter represents something more related to past practice rather than new science. >There is nothing > wrong with that when you have proof or when what you are promoting is a > well-known therapy or treatment ... or one that is known to be effective > via the methodologies and scientific method that modern medicine has > adopted. > > Sometimes, when I'm not sure about something and I am recommending it to > someone for their consideration, I will say something like "I am not a > doctor, but I do know of something called xxxxx that has helped some > people with this condition.

The problem is I've been rather bitterly disappointed by the advise given by medical professionals. Still given that lawyers rule the world, boiler plate is likely a good idea.
