I know to sort comments/discussions from newest to oldest, but, additionally can't there be a way for tech people to delete comments that are old old?? Researching meds for bipolar, for example, what good are discussions from 2011?

Hi @gingerbear22, your point is valid. Many discussions started in past years continue to be topics of interest and remain active discussions today. While others, especially those started and ended in the early days of Mayo Clinic Connect are not only inactive, but could potentially have outdated information.

As we clear older discussions, please don't hesitate to report any discussions or post that you would like us to consider for removal.

To report a discussion or post,
1. Click the 3 dots (...) to the bottom right of the message.
2. Select "Report Comment".
3. State why you're making the report.
4. Click SUBMIT.

Thank you for your help.

Hello @heatherpei25, Welcome to Connect. There are discussions on Glioblastoma that you might find helpful. Here is a search link listing the different discussions - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=Glioblastoma.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Nooshin K. Darvish ND but did find a link to her site with information that describes her work - Glioblastoma Linked to Lyme Disease: https://drdarvish.com/glioblastoma-linked-to-lyme-disease/. I also found a paper written by her - Silver nanoparticles as a novel approach to the treatment of chronic Lyme disease and associated diseases.: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA600697682&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=19405464&p=HRCA&sw=w&userGroupName=anon%7E5c975f43&aty=open-web-entry.
