I’m really upset

I’m really upset. My family is new to the cancer and cancer treatments. I posted on this thread about an alternative treatment and was accused of being a troll and selling a product.

Is this a place to exchange information/ideas and to get support ?

I’m really not feeling very comfortable posting now.

    Look
    I apologise for my comment. As I said if your genuine then that you are, but Phil picked up on the replies you got to the same post you made not to you personally but to the replies you got. Now when you got the same exact reply from a brand new profile I was clear in my reply to you if you were genuinely seeking information then thats what your doing, people will come on here trying to promise the earth, moon and stars with their products, and I wanted to avoid you getting taken in by it, as I understand you are desperate believe you me I do. And to whoever replied to your posting if along with the previous posters who replied to you that phil picked up on Newperson was it, if he was real as was lovedogs who replied to your post and my message was aimed at him (I flagged his message and csn removed it), then I apologise once again.

    Don't respond
    Don't respond to my posts.

    Then don't post.
    Everyone has a right to reply. If it is offensive, flag it and the moderators will judge.

    And if you want help and acceptance it helps to have the humility to recognize/accept apologies.

    I wish your mother luck in her struggle with this disease.

    Rules and Regs
    Just a few, but it helps to know them. Users can flag posts, but not remove them, that is up to the administrators. If a post was flagged and removed that would indicate that it was in violation of the rules, as judged by the administrators.
