Another LDN group got vaporized on FB for members giving medical advice...

Giving medical advice is explicitly prohibited. The Community Standards Guide in your project is clear on this:

What's NOT allowed:

  • Prescribing treatments or dosages
  • Providing dosing advice without medical credentials
  • Making claims like "take 4.5mg for best results"

What IS allowed:

  • Sharing personal experiences ("In my experience, LDN has helped with my symptoms")
  • Discussing efficacy in a medical context
  • Debating scientific merits of treatments
  • Framing things as "my doctor prescribed..." rather than recommendations

The recommended group rule is: "Share personal experiences only; do not prescribe treatments."

This distinction—personal experience sharing versus medical advice—is central to the bright-line approach you've been implementing. The guide suggests always redirecting dosing and treatment questions back to healthcare providers with language like "consult your doctor" or "ask your provider about what's right for you."
