Hi Dan,
Many doctors seem to have quite a strong dislike of alternative/complementary medicine. To what extent do you think that this is because the treatments in question can be obtained without a prescription?
>Fact is that if there were a prescription med that had the exact same effects (and side effects) as alcohol....
Well, now that GHB (Xyrem) is available on prescription in the US who knows what's coming next?! Xyrem isn't prescribable in the UK btw... and I doubt that it ever will be.
