There is no need for this level of organisation, and I think it would also be highly counterproductive imposing some kind of divide between 'conventional' medicine and 'alternative'/'natural' medicine. Not only would it lead to arguments, it's not a scientific thing to do either.I think we should just have a forum called 'treatments', and then people can make threads like 'testosterone'. We want to keep the total number of forums to a bare minimum.Well i got to say i strongly disagree...Surely you dont want... "Today I eat Spinach and it made me feel good" thread next to"The Silodosin thread" thread next to"Here is my personal masturabtion technique" thread next to "Hyposensization programme" next to "What fish is good for POIS?"......all in the SAME section???I say split the natural diets, away from the alternative therapies. and spilt them away from conventional drugs.

Quote from: John21 on 16/12/2009 23:06:43Demo,,I had an O event last Friday night, and I am glad to report that I have had no symptoms. My thoughts are that it might have something to do with my bodily magnesium being heightened, perhaps. I have been consuming two large spinach salads daily for over a week in an attempt to raise my magnesium naturally. I waited to report this to make sure I didn't have any Phase B backlash, but so far so good. Earlier that Friday night I had taken one half a DLPA 375mg and it messed with my head. It didn't feel like it helped me in any way so I don't think I will try it again. But I think loading up on spinach daily is a keeper. This is encouraging. Do you eat raw or canned spinach?

The new forum is open! The link below gets you there.Click here!http://72.52.181.21/POIS/index.phpYou can go over, sign up, use it if you wish. I hope to have a one stop fits all WEB page ready in about 2 wks. to unite everything in one place. As it is there's a link on the other forum directly to this one so it could just seem like another thread of the same forum.There's no need to use the same username although it would help the rest to know who you are. For now, Demo and I are moderators, we may need others to manage individual boards.Of course NSF is always here!
Doctor-Patient-POIS-Specialist 3-Way POIS Treatment?I think credit-card-enabled facilitation could be attractive to a consulting POIS physician who is very remote, e.g., our physician friends in the Netherlands and England, who could conceivably be extremely helpful - for consultative POIS advice - to a USA patient and his local physician.Dave and I have been thinking of a "3-way" POIS treatment, perhaps to include videoconferencing.(Google/Skype).And the credit card function tells the POIS specialist that we are not just asking for free advice!Too ambitious? Any thoughts, anyone? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
I know group still. Considering. Organization. But rules. For new. Forum. Need to be drafted May be NSF rules but. A little. LenientOn organization we. Should. Start with. At most five different.

Maybe we could even ask TNS if they would consider giving us a forum, like 'New Theories', to ourselves. That might solve all our organisational problems, and take a big load off Daveman and others. The argument we could make is that almost half of the posts in the 'New Theories' forum are from this single thread. (about 13000 posts in thread, and 27800 in forum). We also have roughly half as many posts in this thread as are in physiology and medicine and general, two major forums on this site. That's certainly enough activity for our own forum. It's clearly something enough of their users are interested in -- indeed we are their users, we are not 'outsiders'. It seems a very clear case to make actually.

Why all the periods?
In 4 years we've had approx 13000 posts, just under 9 posts a day. Enough for an entire forum? I'm not sure.Quote from: CounterpointsMaybe we could even ask TNS if they would consider giving us a forum, like 'New Theories', to ourselves.

Any thoughts, anyone? Good? Bad? Indifferent?Interesting idea but too ambitious for now.The way the forum is structured now I don't think it will even be active, unfortunately. Right now we're posting everything in one thread, and suddenly there seems be this need to do a complete 180 and go for an extreme level of structure that maybe an activity level of the entire naked scientists website would justify.I really think the best way to go forward is to go from one thread to one forum, where people can post different threads. Imagine if the Naked Scientists gave us our own forum within their site? E.g. if the 'New Theories' forum became the 'POIS forum'. It would be like that. Maybe we can have some kind of vote on different structures to see what others think. I think the 6 different forums might be okay too, but even that might be too much to start with. Could anyone cogently explain the problem with starting with just one forum and multiple threads, keeping in mind that right now, we're only posting in one thread? I think it would make things far more readable and accessible. I don't have time to go click through every single forum (that we have right now) to see what posts might be hiding in them.Maybe we could even ask TNS if they would consider giving us a forum, like 'New Theories', to ourselves.
