[edit] Changes

User:Mr-Natural-Health has made some changes on this article that I see as more than a little questionable. I'm marking the article as NPOV dispute until this can be resolved. -- Pakaran 07:30, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Leaving this page as-is for now. I don't know what Mr. NH is trying to do here, but it's not particularly POV or harmful, this can stay a stub - I need some sleep. -- Pakaran 08:28, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Now that this is protected, can someone who isn't emotionally involved decide what, if anything, should stay here? Thanks. -- Pakaran 08:29, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
To start with, the first sentence needs reworking. It seems to be a vendetta against conventional medicine. Of course, I guess this is "POV without reference?" Pakaran

The neutrality of this article is disputed.

You cannot remove the POV from a protected page.

I removed the POV twice, but the changes were reverted back. --Mr-Natural-Health 08:35, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

You removed the article several times. -- Pakaran 08:37, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Like it or not, heroic medicine is a historical part of the history of conventional medicine. Ergo, it must be covered in one article or another. So, stop destroying my creativity!!!--Mr-Natural-Health 08:48, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I'm wearing my user hat in regards to this article, which you ripped most of the content out of in the past. If you want to talk with another sysop as regards your proposed changes, feel free to. There's a hundred and thirty-some of us. -- Pakaran 08:50, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I shall repeat: It is a historic fact of the history medicine. It either will be covered in a separate article or repeated in what ever article that talks either about heroic medicine or the age of heroic medicine.

History is NPOV.  :)===Mr-Natural-Health 08:53, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)


I just separated out the history from the present-day usage - "Age of Heroic Medicine" is actually the term used by the medical establishment, not just in alternative medicine. We could probably keep the neutrality dispute to this page if we put the history onto Age of Heroic Medicine.

(I'd do it myself except for the disputes so far from it having started just like that!) - David Gerard 00:40, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)

I agree that the correct article is Age of Heroic Medicine. That is why I created it. I give up trying to discuss logic with you emotional people. -- Mr-Natural-Health 15:29, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A related discussion is taking place

A related discussion is taking place in Talk:Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints. The twist is that the argument is being made in reverse.

Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints is nothing but a tirade on why some people are imagined to hold anti-scientific viewpoints. Long angry speeches, usually of a censorious or denunciatory nature, that is a diatribe, like this article have no place in an encyclopedia. All supporters of Alternative medicine should vote to delete this article. -- Mr-Natural-Health 15:24, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Anyone know where the name comes from? I just read this article and it left me wondering. fabiform | talk 23:55, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] One more thing used during the period

One more thing used as treatment during the period is something called a “vesicatory”. I don't really know what this is, when I read it I just understood from context that it was something applied to the skin. Anyone who can explain this to me?
