Question to a moderator - please

[ainee]

I see many threads from people with all sorts of neurological, as well as other conditions - with similar symptoms to what I suffered, but they have been given many different - or unknown diagnosis'.
Although I'm NOT claiming the simple treatment which I took to be a cure for anything, I believe the treatment I successfully experimented with, will give better health to many - regardless of diagnosis or cause. My experimentation and research proves this.
I posted a thread a few days ago. Is it possible for me to direct people on other threads, to the thread I started, so they to may have this information, and hopefully gain better health like I did?
I'm NOT selling anything - the information about my research, experimentation and survival, is free of charge and the treatmant is cheap and available everywhere. It wasn't an 'over night fix it all' - but the treatment suppressed the symptoms and eventually the symptoms started to reverse.
I don't read every thread, so many others probably don't either, and may miss the information which may give them better health.
If it isn't possible for me to direct others to my thread - please explain how can they attain this knowledge?

Howdy ainee!

Sounds like you are attempting to practice medicine without a licence.

I don't think that you will find much support for across the board "wonder treatments".

If you want to make your site better known I would suggest that you put
a lot of keywords in the meta-tags in the head section of your html code.
This will get your site referred to every time somebody does a search on
any of the keywords.

IMO: You are much better off making your site accessable to people who are
on the net looking for information i.e.; via a search engine rather than
(what appears to me to be) peddling false hope on message boards.

Here is an example:
<meta name="keywords" conten= " (put keywords here) ">

<meta name="description" content=" (put description that you want to appear on the
search engine here) ">

<META NAME="Robots" CONTENT="all">
<META NAME="Revisit-After" CONTENT="5 days">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="no expire">

The last 3 lines insure that the robots (aka "spiders") will check back
every 5 days for updates and new keywords.

G'day Dave, thank you for the info - I'm fairly new to the computer, so it may take me awhile to figure out what you suggested.
Regards
ainee.

I might be mistaken, yet it seems to me that Dave is suggesting that with the right meta tags (or accurate descriptors/words) - included in a site you create about what you want to share with people - people will be find your website since search engines will pick it up and list your site.

Absolutely right!

This has absolutely nothing to do with access from a message board.

If your site is not listed under a (e.g.; Google or Ixquick) search, the searchengines will
pick up your site if you do a search on your URL.

e.g.; I got my site picked up for the first time by doing a search for:
www.howdydave.com

Howdydave and Bobbi -
It's been suggested that you might think I'm talking about a website of my own. No, I haven't a website - I'm inquiring if it is allowable for me to direct others on BrainTalk forums, to another thread I started on this website. Many people have similar symptoms to me - and regardless of diagnosis or cause, I believe my information may help many to gain better health.

HI ainee

I've read your posts and think that you should not direct others to them for now. The Terms of Service (TOS) / forum rules are being redone at the moment.

Once they've been released then you should look them over and see if your posts violate any of the TOS / rules.

Your post (if my memory serves correctly) are very close to being against the old TOS / rules. In particular (paraphrasing here) something about claiming to be a dr/nurse/phsycian and/or encouraging members to go against their dr's advice. Also there was something about practicing medicine.

So just hold off until the TOS gets released and then read them over.

Just don't be upset if you're told that your posts do violate the TOS once they get released.

Howdy ainee!

Sounds like you may be talking about what is
commonly called: "cross posting"
i.e.; posting one message to multiple locations.

Most people consider it to be extremely rude
and it is not allowed on many message boards.

If a message is of value in multiple locations
it should be individually posted in each location.

Howdy Annie!

she is ainee, not me.

Sorry to butt in here, but I'm a bit confused. ZS, are you sure you have the right person?

I remember ainee from the last BrainTalk. I had a couple of conversations with her in different threads on the forums. I just did a search in google for - Lara ainee sheep toxins encephalitis - to see if she was the same person and found two threads still there in cache. Although I don't necessarily believe in the treatments, I've seen worse suggestions posted on these forums over the years. I don't recall ainee ever suggesting that she was a medical professional nor was she suggesting anyone take anything without talking to their doctors.

My recollection is this. ainee lived on a property in my country somewhere and her sheep developed deadly neurological illness which is called polioencephalomalacia, most probably from toxins found in certain grasses here in my country. She later developed a similar illness with neurological symptoms. Some time later she recovered and was posting to several forums suggesting that the treatment that she believes helped her would help them.

I don't agree with ainee's theory personally, but I don't think she was posting to be malicious in any way. I don't recall too many posts where anyone really took offence to her theory.

[howdydave]

she is ainee, not me.

My appologies! :o

I have edited my previous posts!

[ainee]

Spot on Lara - Thank you.

[howdydave]

Howdy ainee!

The multiple post is quite simple...
Just copy and paste the text.

I suggest posting the message duplicates to different boards
because each medical problem may set the conversation off
on a different tangent, involve different issues and bring up
items not applicable to everybody.

This way each group can focus on it's own unique situations.

[ainee]

G'day Dave,
So it is OK to put the same info into different threads on this board? I want to make sure about this, as I don't want to do anything wrong - re rules etc.
I don't know how to copy and paste, so maybe if I just reply to the threads with the knowledge, relief etc. I've gained from taking a simple treatment - and there are many threads, regardless of diagnosis or cause, that are relevant to the neurological symptoms I suffered and believe many could benifit from my information.
Several local people, with all sorts of illnesses and conditions, said they had better health while taking what I suggested. My information is FREE of charge and I'm NOT selling anything. If my information helps just one other person to gain better health, then it will all be worthwhile.
Thank you
ainee.

Howdy ainee!

To the best of my knowledge (a little CYA statement) :D

The whole purpose of these boards is to promote the free flow of information.
If somebody is posting something that is of no interest to me, I am not obliged to read the thread!
That's why there is a "Mark This Forum Read" option in the Forum Tools pull down.

As long as you don't get too pushy, offensive or condescending; I don't think that there should be
any problems.

If a person attempts to sell something, proselitize people, antagonize people or intimidate people;
then actions will probably be taken to delete the posts or ban them from the boards.

ainee.

As long as you're not selling anything, reccomending this as a treatment for anything, or in anyway trying to mislead people, then you're posts here are fine. Though had you come here saying something like, "I found something that will cure your problem....." That would have set off all kinds of alarms here.

Sharing your own experiences, giving support, and making friends while doing it is what BTC is all about.

Thank you all for the advice - I'm not claiming the treatment is a cure for anything, although it wasn't an 'over night fix it all', I certainly gained better health through my research, experimentation, trial and error - and survival when the chips were down. There's an old saying - when things get tough, the tough get going. I pray that others may gain better health also.
I guess anything worth having, is worth waiting for.
Thanks again.
ainee.
