[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, as with any medication/supplement/remedy of any kind, YMMV. We tried a bunch of meds, all of which were largely terrible experiences, and we’re only a few days in, but this is working for us. It may stop working tomorrow! Or work a little, but need to be supplemented by a Rx, who knows? For the moment, though, I’m excited and wanted to share in case others could benefit. And if you actually had googled it, you’d see there are plenty of studies.

It sounds miserable being you.[/quote]

Im not the one reduced to pushing my snake oil on a SN parents board. That's miserable [/quote]

Why do you have to be such a b%#ch? If you don’t like a suggestion move on and don’t try it. Parents have been sharing things that work for them longer than you’ve been alive. Saffron is one of the tamest of the “snake oil” suggestions I’ve seen.[/quote]

No it isnt. Its a very expense waste of hope and money. Do you not see the parents come here in desperation? The parents who dont have the background to realize peer reviewed, placebo controlled research from this nonsense? Parents who "try anything" themselves into the poor house in desperate attempt to help their children whom they love? Parents who roll their eyes at actual therapeutic help because they are tired from all the snake oil down the drain that did nothing- or worse?

Np.  I don’t need you to ‘protect’ me from this information with your ‘superior’ medical background.  I doubt anyone in dcum does.  [b]Let’s advocate for more research[/b] and not just shut down conversations between parents experiencing similar struggles because YOU find them unworthy. Please find something more useful to do with your time.  If you think op is a scammer then say so and report it to Jeff but don’t keep spewing vitriol on struggling parents -no one needs or wants you to police the discussion. [/quote]

NP. Sure thing, but let's also advocate for accuracy about discussing and reporting research. Our children are worth more than making basic mistakes reviewing evidence. At least you should care enough to tell the difference between information coming from the US Federal Government National Institutes of Health and something written by a college student in Iran.

You have to at least understand what you are saying for it to be any help. It matters. Get it right. [/quote]

You seem very uninformed about research. There are multiple articles you can read on the topic by different researchers in different countries. The linked article by the OP was not just written by a random college student either. Graduate students frequently work on research and publications around the world. You can easily find the other members of the research team as they too are listed authors, and their affiliations. Just because something wasn't published in the West, it doesn't mean it is inaccurate[/quote]

When the only research coming up is from grad students at the country who happens to be the he biggest exporter of that product, well.. bless your heart[/quote]

But it isn't. Hence your ignorance. [/quote]
