Hello, I would like to assist with editing this page. How do I do so? AE3yia1AJeQ (talk) 13:43, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My edit has been reverted. How do I assist with editing this page? AE3yia1AJeQ (talk) 15:01, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So long as your intention is to remove sourced content and add what is essentially a plug for this particular clinic, then the short answer is probably "you don't". GMG ^talk 15:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My intention is only to correct and improve the article. How might we proceed? We could focus on other aspects of the article? AE3yia1AJeQ (talk) 15:34, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I see it, AE made a bold edit. It was reverted. A consensus should be attempted here before any more edits are made to the article. Personally, I STRONGLY (yes capitalized) disagree with the edit by AE as an attempt to remove valid criticism of the "Young Blood"'s utter lack of scientific evidence. Strong medical claims require strong evidence. Instead, there is no valid evidence whatsoever. WP:MEDRS applies. David notMD (talk) 15:32, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
