This board was created for the implicit reason to exchange general information and techniques to acquire medication, that would otherwise is impossible to get here in the states. I agree with you 100% that it shouldn't take the place of an actual dcotor's office visit with instructions from the MD on how best to treat you particular illness (luckily I have none), but then there are alot MDs out there, who are quacks themselves. Like the ones that carve-out their names on the stomachs of patients to leave their mark. I do my own research looking for varying perspectives from educated professionals and then confirm their belief systems with textbooks and conversations with MD friends, which believe it or not, tell me the best to acquire a script of my choosing (LOL). Then I gather all the important facts and terminological remarks and take it to my doctor and receive whatever I want and need at that moment in space and time. "REEL" Kewl, wouldn't you say!!
