It has been deleted from the thread and think it may be helpful for a friend who doesnt want to take prescription meds. Also deleted was my post re access to health services. This is a legitimate public health concern and I'd really like to talk to the person who decided it should be deleted. If you are deleting messages that are in the public interest, perhaps you have a conflict of interest?
