As a result of an Arbitration Committee ruling in this case, any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to homeopathy, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.

[edit] I think theres a form youall missed

Not comepletely sure, but isn't there a therapy called Zero Balance? I'm not sure if its classified as alternative medicine, but I'm looking for it. 74.138.183.168 (talk) 21:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

This article isn’t the place for a list of alternative therapies. If this is the “zero balance” you’re talking about, then it seems to be a type of energy medicine, and definitely alternative in nature. — TheHerbalGerbil(TALK|STALK), 13:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Australian doctors protest teaching of alt med in universities

AUSTRALIA'S top doctors want university courses in acupuncture, chiropractic and naturopathy scrapped, claiming they are a misuse of public money and encourage quackery.
Thirty-four of Australia's top doctors, medical researchers and scientists have signed a petition challenging universities that "give undeserved credibility to 'alternative' therapies".
Signatories include Australian Medical Association president Dr Steve Hambleton and University of NSW Medicine Professor John Dwyer, who is also the founder of the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance.
IT appears the great debate regarding alternative medicine is far from over.
This week, 34 of Australia's most prominent doctors, medical researchers and scientists voiced their concern that the public are at risk of being misled about health treatments.
This outcry arose from the announcement that another Australian university announces plans to teach an "Alternative" medicine course as if it were science.
In August, Central Queensland University announced their decision to offer a chiropractor degree at their Mackay campus from 2012.

[edit] Appeal

I added an Ernst quote to the last chapter ('Appeal') in the main article, giving its title extra meaning and poignacy.Sleuth21 (talk) 13:48, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] This article is entirely biased

[edit] Navel glazing

After careful thought, advice from an expert fellow editor, re-reading of some comment-archives and WP:guidelines and trying to understand their spirit, and after contemplation of my umbilicus: will not use revert. But will argue if this remark is deemed off-topic and sectioned, too. See also my older comment, immediately above the WP is not a forum note above, under Appeal and dated 13 December 2011. Rules are there to be broken, very occasionally and, as I said, afer careful thought. I wanted to bold the careful as well, but leave it italic. Carries more weight, counter-intuitively.
