@jake- I'm also going to step in here. You are simply wrong in this case. You can not give medical advice to anyone's specific illness or disease, nor prescribe medications. This is exactly what you did without giving a prescription out. You were specific in the names and doses. Questioning your doctor and going against his advice is fine for you to do, but it isn't fine to suggest that others do that. Actually it's dangerous because, no matter how much you think that you know, you just don't know enough to do this without a medical license. You can tell people what has worked for you. It's like being highly religious and telling someone the right way to pray- you just can't do that.
Jake if you can't distinguish between what is advice and what is medical advice then just stop giving it out.
It's not up to you to cure the medical field's woes. Do it for yourself but not for others.

@merpreb Well said. The only time I share is when I have the knowledge to help someone or have experienced it my self as others have to give advice without knowledge or experience can be hurtful to a person. And I hope everyone doesn't think this of me .
