pharm ads are out, what about natural or alternative meds/treatments?

of course ads in the coop for prescriptions based drugs is out, but what about natural remedies? alternative medicine?

for example - ephedra or fat burners? or any of the health supplements sold on amazon?

 

where are they out?

What!! I can't advertise my viagra site through the co-op.

 

heh ... so back to my question ...

 

maybe u can try to apply and see if fails or not

 

well that's the problem ... i always get different results when i make ads ... i wish there a was a submit feedback button.

just had one fail and it's an herbal remedy.

 

Same question here... supplements seem to be out even if they are sold on vitamin sites? The ones on my sites certainly are not pharms or prescriptions. And it is hit and miss-- a few months ago I got a weight loss supplement link in and I only applied once.

Also... an addiction / self help site was denied due to being gambling related. It is about addiction and recovery, not poker.

Are there appeals possible?

 

I don't know if they can edit the descriptions, but try adding something like

[Delete this text: This is an addiction/self help site!!]

in the site description box and re-submit it!!

 

all of a sudden wrinkle cream .. you know, the stuff you get at walmart next to soap ... is a pharmaceutical.

i know the ad reviewers are volunteers ... but c'mon.

the system needs a rebutal field ... cause they mean well and all ... but there are few reviewers who are trigger happy for no reason
