Sorry, but your presentation of what he did does not fit what he really wrote. He did not just present what his own experience. He explicitly said that he has „been advising people here for the last nine years to take VitD“. He should not be advising people to take anything. And he has again presented a case for VitD supplementation citing only positive examples while omitting that a) someone got significantly worse by his „advice“ and b) that other people have gotten worse trying this on their own. That is irresponsible.
He has not been banned. But we have clear rules with regard to definite statements and medical advice that will be enforced. And beyond the forum rules, there are basic human rules of decency, honesty and responsibility. At least admit that your advice has not always been helpful and be more careful in the future.
I agree that people should be responsible for themselves and not take medical advice from random dudes on a forum, but people who arrive here are often in extraordinary emotional distress and very desperate. So when someone gives „advice“ citing his experience of nine years and his own improvements, unfortunately some make a judgement error.
But spstriken knows this, he has been here for many years and he knows his advice has made people far worse in the past. He should be more responsible. That’s it. Several people have reported worsening after VitD supplementation. This can’t and should not be ignored or omitted.
