what you are doing is called "practicing medicine without a license"...you
can be sued..civilly..for such "advice" that you dispense without the
knowledge base needed..

not to mention that even "real" licensed professionals rarely stick their
necks out like you do on this board...in what appears to be an attention
getting ploy...

the first sentence above demonstrates your lack of basic knowledge..
