Kathy,
I do not carry GV for this very reason. I, too, work with a freindly
pharmacist whom I can send mothers to, but in IL GV cannot be diluted to
.5% w/o a prescription, so I also give mothers directions for diluting the
1% solution. I use the old LLL "Many moms have found.." when giving
directions for GV dilution and use, with my LC clients.

I actually had the bottle on the counter of the pharmacy and was discussing
the "practicing medicine" subject with him. We (sadly) decided that for MY
protection I would not carry the drug and send people to him, instead.

The lawsuit happy atmosphere in the US prevents me from doing things like
this that would otherwise be benficial to my clients.

Could you find a pharmacy closer to you where you could develop a
relationship and have this RpH stock the GV for you? You could then send
your clients to him/her.
