Herbal folks, how's my disclaimer?

judsoncarroll4

I added a disclaimer to my blog. What do y'all think? Is it okay, or do you have any suggestions to improve or change it? https://southernappalachianbitters.blogspot.com/

@judsoncarroll4 I think that all of your information is correct, but it needs to be more concise. Yeah...advice from the one who has too many words!

I will do a tough draft of how I would begin to rework it. But first, my disclaimer: This information might not be correct, so please take with a grain of salt. But before you proceed, please consult your healthcare provider before doing so. 😁

@judsoncarroll4 @LaurieLovesLearning great outcome, well done.

Torey

Well worded!

@judsoncarroll4 I do like the part of "...I'm just a guy who studies herbs." I think that describes many of us 😀

Thought it made the point very clear, good job!

@LaurieLovesLearning you did a great job on the Disclaimer. Is the disclaimer something we should use when we post?

I enjoyed that too. Its so Judson. 😆

@dipat2005 I don't think that you need to use that here. I think that is most likely already covered by TGN's disclaimer, wherever it may be. Otherwise, you could be posting it every other post or more.

Those that have more extensive herbalist training would need to weigh in on that a bit to clarify. I know that @torey will sometimes still post with a caution.

Oh... well @dipat2005 and @LaurieLovesLearning I'll work that into posts ... no worries. I know my limitations... and find more constantly.

While I enjoyed reading @judsoncarroll4 version, I think that @LaurieLovesLearning version is more concise and understandable.

Yes, Great job LaurieLovesLearning!

Great job on the official disclaimer, @LaurieLovesLearning , but, boy do I like @judsoncarroll4's wording. It shows his character. If you are starting a blog, @judsoncarroll4 I would post Laurie's in the official spot, but your version is good enough to publish somewhere else, perhaps with a link to the 'official' disclaimer.

And do let us know where to find your blog....

I like the personal version and the edited version is good too. But the personal version made me smile and helped me connect with you more. :-)
