Articles on Quackademic Medicine

Below are articles articles, mostly medical but some in the sciences, that promote ideas or POV's that might endanger human life. Feel free to add your own, but I'm watching and cleaning up these articles. Please sign if you add something.

List of medicinal herbs-lacks any references, and implies these drugs can help.Orangemarlin 00:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Herbalism-same as above Orangemarlin 00:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naturopathic medicine-Actually not completely off the wall, but some parts are bad. Orangemarlin 00:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Er, Duesberg hypothesis and poppers could both use more work, and talk about endangering lives... especially the former. MastCell ^Talk 18:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also add ephedra to the list... I did a lot of work cleaning it up and it's not so bad anymore (it actually references the serious harms and deaths associated with ephedra supplements in a way that goes beyond referring to the FDA as jackbooted thugs, now). But much of the same material is duplicated in ECA stack, which I haven't been as successful with, and which I fear gives an erroneous impression as to the safety record of ephedra-containing dietary supplements. MastCell ^Talk 19:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably, Reflexology, though that's probably not actually dangerous, just ridiculously oversold. Adam Cuerden ^talk 00:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

rebirthing, reparenting, Power therapies. Primal Scream therapy. I would treat Neurolinguistic Programming as the main hub for many of them though. Its a subject that seems to be the main pseudoscientific umbrella that is used by most of them to give the false impression of scientific appearance. Its incredibly widespread and extremely misleading to the less scientifically literate. Here is a good source; [1]. Phloem (talk) 05:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

coral calcium. I just put in some references, but there is a lot more that can be done. That someone would think that coral calcium can be used as a panacea for all types of cancer when in fact excess calcium can, in some cases, be detrimental to certain cancer treatments means that we should be very careful how the claims of the coral calcium fanatics are treated.

Medical Articles

Below are articles that I believe, along with any trusted science and medicine editors who may wish to contribute, meet the simple test of being well-written, do not give undue weight to fringe theories, and are either WP:GA or WP:FA:

Request for Arbitration

If you are here to read about all of the Wiki-drama surrounding the secret hearings (so secret that no one on the ArbCom knew about them apparently), you can read it here. No editing allowed. One day this will be funny. I hope.

Why Complementary and alternative medicine is pure bullshit

The fundamental intellectual flaw of “CAM” as a concept is that it is made to include modalities that are extremely diverse, even mutually contradictory, under one umbrella. Very deliberately modalities which are scientific and mainstream, like the proper use of nutrition, are often included under the CAM umbrella by proponents in order to make it seem like CAM is a bigger phenomenon than it actually is, and as a wedge to open the door for the more pseudoscientific modalities. —Steven Novella

There is no alternative medicine. There is only scientifically proven, evidence-based medicine supported by solid data or unproven medicine, for which scientific evidence is lacking. Whether a therapeutic practice is “Eastern” or “Western,” is unconventional or mainstream, or involves mind-body techniques or molecular genetics is largely irrelevant except for historical purposes and cultural interest…—Fontanarosa PB, Lundberg GD (1998). "Alternative medicine meets science". JAMA. 280 (18): 1618–9. PMID 9820267. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)

POV

You are nothing but a POV pushing Mammalian-Supremist! Well I'm here now to unmask you and show the world the Truth about Wikipedia and it's pro-mammal policies. You always think you are right just because you have all the facts on your side, but we're not going to let you get away with it anymore! You MUST make room in this encyclopedia for our groundless opinions and baseless conjectures!

Heh heh, I just couldn't resist. Sorry I was away for so very long, but it's certainly a pleasure to be back. I'm looking forward to working with you again, and many of our other fine editors as well. :) Doc Tropics 16:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's gotten worse around here. More and more anti-science nutters have found Wikipedia to be THE place to add unsourced cruft about their woo. You missed the day when the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event article was featured on the mainpage. A bunch of creationist types (there are two types of anti-science nutjobs: alternative medicine woo and creationists) tried to insert information about how dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark or some such nonsense. Lots of fun. You missed it. Look at my contributions if you want to pick one or two fun places to stand up for the Pro-Mammal POV. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 16:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ROFL. Very nice to see Doc Tropics here. ... Kenosis (talk) 21:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi to you too Kenosis, it's always a pleasure :)

OM, I just reviewed the entire history of Antigen leukocyte cellular antibody test (seriously, all of it), and I can't tell you how impressed I am with the work you did there. The effort that you put into cleaning up that article is nothing short of mind-boggling. Of course I'm not even remotely qualified to comment on the subject itself, so you won't see me on that page, but "stalking" your edits has always been a great way to find articles in need of serious attention. Keep up the good work! Doc Tropics 22:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I always figured the dinosaurs perished precisely because there was no room for them in the Ark. I mean, one brachiosaurus alone would have taken up the entire boat. The dinosaurs, along with the unicorns. That last part is the well-known Irish Rovers corollary to the general theory (pardon the overly-generous terminology) called Creationism. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 00:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to point out the obvious, but baby dinosaurs were probably a lot smaller than adult dinosaurs. Presumably if dinosaurs did exist at the time (doubtful since dinosaurs and humans didn't coexist anyway, so dinosaurs were already long gone by the time Noah and Methuselah were chillin' out), Noah could have taken two baby dinosaurs or two dinosaur eggs. (Or dinosaur DNA inside a mosquito) --B (talk) 00:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hush! You'll give the Creationists ideas... Hey! You might be on to something. Maybe the Ark was actually a gigantic floating lab, and instead of actual animals, he had fertilized embryos. Boy, would that be a space-saver. Not to mention that you wouldn't have to take so much food on board. Just enough to keep the crows and the doves alive. And maybe the crows got a little out of control and ate up the embryos from the dinosaurs. And the unicorns. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 00:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OM, everybody knows Noah had cardboard crates of dinosaur eggs in the ark's hold (and yes there was plenty of backup DNA to be found in all the bugs 'n flies on board). You truly need to get with it here. All this PoV pushing of your own opinions stirs up so much strife, when we could all be sitting about the wiki-campfire singin' I Don't Know How to Love Him (none of that public domain stuff, please, true believers believe in Intellectual property and 500 year copyrights). Why can't you get up to speed on this? Gwen Gale (talk) 02:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it was the omelette feast on Day 39 that did them in. They were running short on food, and the eggs complained the least. Besides, them little mammal critters were tired of being stepped on. Antandrus (talk) 02:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it was just driven by necessity. I think it was an organized effort by the mammals to destroy their reptilian competitors. We need an article on this conspiracy theory of mammalian gene-ocide against the poor little dinosaur embryos. We could call it "Eadibus T-rex". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the only unknown here is, did Noah ask for his omelette with eggstra cheese or what. Gwen Gale (talk) 02:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And did Noah drink his coffee straight, or did he drop in a couple of sugar cubits? Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno, maybe, sounds ok to me, anyway. I do happen to know it was very likely café au lait because this is where the Frito Lay company got their name (not many folks know about this). You see, some of the dinosaur eggs on the ark were fried and there was indeed lots of coffee but as we know, the old Aremaic translations can be a bit dodgy, muddled, so we fix them up. Gwen Gale (talk) 03:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I drop a note on OM's page in the morning, then I get free entertainment all day long. Let's do Gwen's page tomorrow! Doc Tropics 03:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

←So much to respond to. Entertainment. Dinosaur eggs (let us remember that birds are really dinosaurs, so a dinosaur is going to taste like chicken! Baby dinosaurs....of course, I wouldn't want to be the person trying to take the young of a nice Utahraptor. And B, you keep forgetting about the birds...real dinosaurs. Well, everyone please keep us entertained. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 03:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So maybe Noah took dinosaur eggs on board, and once the flood was over, they hatched and quickly evolved into birds. In, like, 3 generations. That makes total sense. Under Creationism, all things are possible. :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That reminds me: How did Noah illuminate his boat at night, like when he was staying up late reading the Antediluvian Times? Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They had lightbulbs back then. Gwen Gale (talk) 03:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's always been chicken, as OM said. Glad to see he's groking things at last. I was beginning to worry he hated freedom. Gwen Gale (talk) 03:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking that cuneiform tablets didn't require much light. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 03:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Especially if they were made from mud containing radium, so they could glow in the dark. I was going to say torches, because they didn't have Ark-lights yet. But I could be wrong. Those Egyptians were crafty. They were smart enough to build pyramids, a type of building that, as Will Cuppy said, "couldn't fall down if it tried", so those things are still around K's of years later. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bugs, scribes in Ur couldn't read the tablets unless there was a very strong shadow. Glow in the dark mud would have only lowered the contrast. This is why electric lights were invented by the priests (the scribes' guild got their monopoly by keeping this a secret, which was later lost to history, but had to pay off the priests and the Egyptian priests later nicked it for themselves). Gwen Gale (talk) 03:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cuneiform writing and hieroglyphics survive today, which you know if you've ever taken a doctor's prescription to a pharmacist. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I suspect we're onto the secret of how the Egyptians made such precision cuts in the stones: Laser beams. That was the easy part. Lugging the rocks from the quarry was still a pain, though. Luckily for them, they outsourced that work to the Hebrews. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 03:58, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Laser beams??? You have no creativity Bugs, nor do you have an understanding of the powers of the Egyptian pharaohs. They used their fingers, because they were actually aliens who were stuck here over 3000 years ago. Oh, wait a minutes, I've been watching too much Stargate. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 04:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't that Battlestar Gallactica? Anyway Von Däniken cleared this stuff up years ago. Gwen Gale (talk) 04:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I remember him. He hasn't been heard from in awhile. Maybe he took a vacation in teh Bermuda Triangle and never came back. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We know all of this stuff around the world is true, due to the painstaking documentaries of such activities, filmed by Steven Spielberg. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 04:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aspartame controversy

Talk:Aspartame controversy

So far I haven't seen even close to a neutral summary of the past. And though I'm starting to get a sense of things now, any clarity that you might provide would be welcome. - jc37 03:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You pretty much did the above through your AN/I notice. Thank you. Watching there for now.

As an aside, regardless of whether these are SPAs, SPs, MPs, or whatever, I don't know that it's accepted to so cross the line of civility. This is merely a suggestion, but you may wish to reconsider some of your comments, especially since, due to AN/I, other editors may now be watching, may become involved. - jc37 04:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm, you don't know me too well. I actually will not, under any circumstance, substitute civility for NPOV. My treatment of these sockpuppets were quite civil compared to my usual standard of dealing with trolls. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 08:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Creationism is right

Humans lived with dinosaurs. I am so sorry that I was so stupid and blind, so that I could not accept that some supernatural entity created the world. I apologize to all of the Creationists on Wikipedia. I still despise CAMmies, but that's a different story. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 22:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How you ever dreamed early humans could have gotten by without lorry-sized chickens, I don't know, but I'm so happy you've seen the light. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Umm ... that website is a parody site. I'm quite confident that there is no "Dr. Booble, who received his doctorate in paleontology from the respected Holy Patriot!™ Bible University and Correspondence College of Claptrappe, Oklahoma". --B (talk) 22:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also pretty confident that God didn't apologize for "'Collateral Damage' in Huckabee Tornado Smite Attempt". --B (talk) 22:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, B. Thanks for letting us know about that. I for one never, ever, in a billion-jillion years (let alone 6,500), would have guessed that a story about finding a dinosaur saddle could have been a parody. However, I still think it's clueless to think early humans could have done without couch-sized drumsticks. :) As for the Huckabee story, I glark this has to do with some language glitch and could easily be straightened out through a financial donation to any charismatic evangelist in good standing. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:58, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm B. I knew that. I was just trying to be funny, cause I'm frustrated with various editing annoyances (see below). I needed humor. :D OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 02:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my, that is absolutely priceless! Thanks so much for the link OM, I immediately bookmarked it....chuckling all the while. Very reminiscent of National Lampoon (magazine) circa the late 70s, early 80s. Doc Tropics 03:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rude comments on Talk:Aspartame controversy

I'm investigating the sockpuppetry issues, but... A number of your comments on the talk page there were intemperate. WP:NPA applies to everyone, as does WP:CIVIL - we need to treat even abusive sockpuppeteers with dignity rather than getting nasty and abusive back. Being rude really never helps things.

The sockpuppet investigation was appropriate - once it gets to that point, disengagement on the talk pages is probably a better course of action than continuing to let them goad you and responding in kind.

Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 00:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You'd be right in 99/100 situations. But in this case, the editor needs to have his butt kicked. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 02:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am preparing for a posterior application of pedal effort and motion in their general direction. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't stop being rude at them, though...

It reflects a lot better on all of us if even the abusive sockpuppeteers are treated with dignity and civility.

Thanks... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 02:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grumble. Not sure I agree, but I you're posterior application of mass and velocity is sufficient, the world will be back in order. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 03:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After I blocked the two I thought were sockpuppets after reviewing it in depth, Immortale and Unomi, Jpgordon ran a checkuser on both of them and Karloff, and came up strongly negative (far apart, no similarity in ISPs or other internet type similarity). I think your suspicions were reasonable - I spent over an hour looking at them and concluded so as well - but I think the evidence now is pretty unambiguous that they weren't. I went back and unblocked.

I know that this is frustrating you - but if they really aren't connected, and them being far apart and not evidently connected on the net seems to indicate that strongly - they're not doing anything wrong enough for anyone to intervene, other than the mediation cabal or mentoring / discussion with another uninvolved administrator (I should probably not get involved in that given my apparent mistake). If you can see past your suspicions and try and work with them at the mediation case that was filed, that's probably a constructive way forwards towards resuming cooperative editing and good faith on all sides.

Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know they are socks--just have to prove it a bit more. I think they should be indeffed for reasons way outside of sockpuppetry, but I figured it was the easiest way to do it. Now Unomi and Immortale are going to enjoy running amok. This place sucks sometimes. But I appreciate your blocking them long enough to giving some breathing space to the article.

Orangemarlin, It sucks hard, and I apologise, but I felt I had to revert rather than keeping your good edits. I see the point on the OMpsych talk page (it's not worth the trouble), but give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile. Or is that cm/km? Anyway, I feel Coppertwig had no justification for the reversion (or the POV additions), and if CT wants mediation, let him/her ask for it rather than placing the burden on me.
