Hello there Editors . It was suggested to me by another researcher I should seek some advice on my Entry A2599040, read F48874?thread=417884 for more information. I think there was some contention on any legal legs the Beeb might not have regarding giving advice about medical matters

We'll have to get back to you on this, I'm afraid, PGHF. We'll try to let you know as soon as possible.

Hello PGHF,
Thank you very much for your query and for being so responsible about the work you've submitted. I'm afraid the Researcher was right - as we are responsible for all of the content on our site and since we don't have the relevant medical training to ensure that Entries that offer this sort of advice are entirely safe, we are unable to give them the 'endorsement' that Entry into the Edited Guide represents. This is a real shame as it is a really well-written piece of work but it can still reside in the wider guide. We just wanted to let you know quickly before the debate moved further on.
Thanks very much,
h2g2 Editors
