I have taken the liberty to edit this Wikipedia page on NAET after seeing the blatant bias regarding the technique. It is clear that there are no medical experts editing this article at present. Being a board certified physician, I have decided that enough is enough and that NAET should be given a fair representation based on my own experiences with patients and this technique. It is practiced by many medical doctors which you can see even on the www.naet.com site under doctor search. He is obviously biased and his opinions are irrelevant as he is not trained in the area of immunology and allergy. If you are to challenge any of the edits on this page, please do so by citing respectable experts in the field of allergy medicine who have solid credentials. It is the policy of Wikipedia to use reliable and unbiased sources. I have cited three (3) references that talk about NAET and have been published. Do not remove them. If you do, then you are violating Wikipedia policies and rules.Certifiedallergist (talk) 04:46, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Please take care when discussing living people

Are you Devi Nambudripad?

Are you Devi Nambudripad? Your editing and self-description can hardly fit any other person. -- Brangifer (talk) 21:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

No I am not Dr. Nambudripad. But I am a physician who is aware of her practice and I have many patients who have gotten better from her techniques. My office is located close to her practice but I practice traditional allergy shots and immunotherapy. However, now I am strongly considering taking her course and practicing NAET due to pressure from my clients. I went on Wikipedia to see what it said and was disheartened by the bias. Certifiedallergist (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Since you are giving shots, you must be an MD, and not just a chiropractor. Is that correct? What kind of board certification do you have? -- Brangifer (talk) 21:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I am board-certified in Allergy and Immunology. Why are you asking this information? Am I being attacked? I did not know that this kind of tactic was a part of WP policy. This is approaching the lines of harrassment. Certifiedallergist (talk) 21:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

No harassment is intended. I am only interested in gathering facts. Normally the real life identity of editors is irrelevant, but in this case a possible COI is involved, along with proven sockpuppetry by you. If you are/were Devi Nambudripad, then your COI would prevent you from doing much editing of the article, but it would not prevent you from discussing issues relevant to the article on the talk page. That's all. You do not have to tell me who you are, and even if you did, you would have nothing to fear from me.

I am only interested in following the policies and guidelines here and ensuring that you do the same. You have received advice and warnings from many other editors here, which are all designed with the same purpose in mind. That you continually insist on including a poorly designed primary study performed by Nambudripad and her associates, all against our clear policies, and that you continue to misrepresent the nature of that study, is unfortunate. If you don't understand the WP:MEDRS guideline, then just say so. You will have to get that guideline changed before anyone can allow your study to be included.

As for the video on YouTube, that's an extremely poor form of source (rarely allowed here, and certainly not for MEDRS matters) and doesn't constitute other than anecdotal evidence, which is the poorest and least reliable form of "evidence". Nambudripad should be ashamed to rely on such. -- Brangifer (talk) 05:53, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques - Discretionary Sanctions

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to pseudoscience. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you continue with the behavior on Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience#Final decision section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page.

Pursuant to your mediation request, which I had to reject, it came to my attention you were using sockpuppets while editing this article. This article is subject to discretionary sanctions as outlined above. At this point I'm not taking any further action but the warning above. Further tendentious editing of this article may find you subject to blocks or bans and continuing to use socks to avoid scrutiny certainly will. Finally, while there is no rule against being a single-purpose account, editing in a highly disputed area as one is bound to draw further scrutiny to your editing. --WGFinley (talk) 16:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
