My observation is that a medication-oriented thread diverted to Alternative because of e.g. a mention of a B-vitamin dies there. People who tend to post to Alternative are probably not so drug-oriented, and to answer in the context of the thread, they have to follow it back and see how it came to be moved.
Your intent does not accord with real observations. Medication-oriented threads which take on aspects of alternative and complementary care ought to remain on the medication board so they do not die out. Frankly, Bob, I think that some of the side-effect and tolerance and poop-out issues can be addressed with complementary considerations, but people who are medication oriented simply do no know of the options. They're not going to find out what they are by being diverted to another board. It is a rare event that your "moved" threads have any further postings.
