Some people could be desperate enough or dumb enough to actually attempt the procedure without consulting their doctor first and could cause permanent damage, aka, the young lady who got the nasal rinse into her inner ear and caused an infection. Don't we have enough difficulties with this disease without trying home remedies or "stuff we read on the internet"? The internet is a good resource, but some people tend to get carried away and then it becomes damaging and harmful. Forum members need to temper what suggestions are made and how strongly they recommend a treatment unless you are a doctor and have a medical degree.
Yep I would have to agree. There will be closer monitoring and moderating of people and threads for the foreseeable future.
