Protocol for seeking and offering help on Searching-Alternatives.

[Guest guest]

Dear group...

 

I understand the desire to help and I understand the desire to be

helped...

 

But can we please, in line with the purpose of this group, look at

health challenges together, on-line, here at this site...

 

It is through exercises such as this that we can all learn together.

 

I want all of us to contribute and help, but I must ask this of

everyone (I am not picking on any one person) that this not be the

place for blatant advertising...

 

So how to go from here?

 

Please when seeking help, provide more history than a diagnosis

dropped out of the air... What are the symptoms? What is your

unique experience of the symptoms like? What makes it better, what

makes it worse? If applicable, which side is worse? How long have

the given symptoms occured? What alternative treatments have you

tried, if any? What else is occuring in the mind or body at the

same time... Something for us to go on... And practitioners,

please feel free to ask as many questions as you feel are

important... That helps us other practioners to see the case in a

different and fuller light...

 

Practitioners, please provide suggestions here to the whole

group... What herbs do you suggest for which purposes? What mental

exercises do you think are most appropriate? For my part, I will

say which homeopathic remedies and why to the best of my ability...

So we can all learn together...

 

Not only does this benefit the person seeking help, through the

fuller consideration of their case, but also serves as education for

the practitioners in the same way. Additionally, this might also

offer hope and ideas to others on the board that are neither

suffering nor practitioners, but perhaps know of someone who is one

of the above...

 

Now that being said... I have personally spoken with many of the

practitioners on this board and I have openly, freely supported the

putting forth of one's name and expertise. That remains

constant... Please feel free to respond to requests for help,

please feel free to post articles concerning your profession, please

feel free to put any form of educational information forward, and

please feel free to put your name and contact information below.

But please allow people to seek you out if they are interested in

working with you personally, or with someone in your field... I

fear otherwise the integrity of this site will be lost in what could

be perceived as hunting for clients/patients...

 

Thank you again to each and everyone of you for making this a

wonderful site and resource... And thank you to you all for your

patience as these little wobbles are ironed out as we continue into

new territory...

 

Be Well, Misty
