January 1st 2013, and the format of this forum is going to change.
There is a growing group dedicated to home remedies and theories which heavily undermine donation progress for TRUE Research.
It seems there are two good options for discussing these home remedies, which historically have lead to very little true progress, either producing
relief for only a few or producing waves of hope in a new and promising direction, that eventually fail, because the cure is not aimed at the cause
but at the relief of symptoms.
We all want relief of symptoms, and many herbal and OTC compounds have proven to be helpful to varying degrees to some, but the intense focus in
finding a remedy based on symptomology such does NOT get to the mechanism that stops POIS forever, nor is consistent for all.
We do not want to sell false hope nor lead users down dead end streets especially at the risk of furthering the damage to their systems just to
increase our member base.
This forum is not a playland. We would like our members to have a place to share their suffering and potential remedies, but not at the expense
of deviating from the main intent of desperately seeking real professional research and resolving the POIS puzzle.
This requires HIGHLY EXPERIENCED MEDICAL RESEARCHERS. It is NOT possible for untrained inexperienced individuals to resolve this
very complicated issue. Attempts at this are irresponsible and dangerous. Real research requires specific specialized and heavily experienced professionals
with decades of experience.
NSF and "Feellalike.com" are open and willing to risk amateur medical research. There are few controls and restrictions, the activity is even encouraged.
If you are willing to take the risks and lose valuable time and have your hopes dashed time and again, these may be ideal locations for you to experiment.
We bowed to the pressure, for a time, trying to maintain a collective in the hopes that we could finally achieve the professional research necessary, but
the risks are too high, so we have made the choice to focus in professional research.
As it is, with such heavy redirection of hope in unsupported theories, we will probably not make the March deadline, and will require at least another year
to raise the rest of the funds. So we feel that a slight interruption at this point in our change of focus will have little negative impact.
Our focus will move primarily to research funding efforts, companionship, sharing of potential useful symptomatic remedies, but there will be NO MORE
DISCUSSION of supposed theories for POIS cures.
We, none of us here are trained for it.
We will moderate this new approach strongly.
Feel free to visit sites who permit uncontrolled research and are willing to flagrantly promote false hopes. And good luck.
If we remain with just three members who are dedicated and intent on rolling up their sleeves to go this last mile, we need nothing more.
