Welcome to the Healers and Herbalist's Guild!

Our Mission Statement To have a free open place for the discussion of herbal and other alternative healing techniques, to offer a place to compile and store reference material, and to give those curious about this topic a free, unbiased, and open forum for the discussion and learning of them.


Rules
1. All Gaia rules also apply within the guild and that especially includes no porn, cybering, etc.
2. No spam.
3. No harrassing fellow guildmembers.
4. No talking politics unless it relates to herbal healing or medicine (such as new FDA policies, etc.) The exception to this rule is POLITE discussion. If anything gets out of hand, one of the crew will ask that you take it out of the thread. If you fight with a crew member, you will be blacklisted.
5. No arguing about religion. Polite discussions will be tolerated.
6. If you accept medical advice from a guildmember be aware that you do it at your own risk and the guild will not accept blame for the results of your actions. Be VERY careful and always check any advice that you aren't sure of with your doctor, or if you're a minor then at least with your parents.
7. On the same note as rule number six, do not give out information that is to your knowlege untrue or questionable without explaining that the information is such.
8. Please, no bumping. This is an interest based guild, and not everyone can be on at the same time. If someone bumps, please be nice and don't attack them. Something like "We would rather you didn't bump, but thanks for stopping in and be sure to stay and talk!"

To Join
It's very simple. Click the button that says "Join Guild" and fill out the form- give us a reason to allow your request that shows that you are mature and intelligent and interested, and as the crew gets the time, they will review your request. Just so you know, if your reason for joining is "im bord" or "lol u look intrsting", I'm going to deny you. Tell me why you want to be here, what you're looking for, and why you're interested in alternative and herbal medicine!

What Not To Say
(These are -real- join requests that I've denied... you can tell why...)

"hi im like herbalist"
"omg i lyk final fantasy and sepheroth!"

DISCLAIMER WE ARE NOT DOCTORS. Most members of this guild and thread are NOT medical professionals. In any situation, when in doubt, CALL YOUR DOCTOR. In case of an emergency, do not post here- get offline, pick up your phone and call your doctor or your local EMS and 911 service. Always check with your doctor before attempting any self-treatment, and do not self-treat if you are pregnant or have existing medical conditions. Herbal medication is still medication, and may interact with other medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. Any advice given here is strictly for educational purposes and should be discussed with your doctor before attempting self-treatment.
In short We're amateurs. Consult your doctor before you do anything!!!
