Re: Re: WIKI BIAS

[Guest guest]

I didn't say they aren't any, I just said I never heard any... So, if you don't

trust wiki, don't read it or verify it.

Widespread Condemnation of Wikipedia Bias

Readers Report Suppression of Nutritional Medicine

http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v06n16.shtml

" (OMNS, May 3, 2010) The public has something to say about a lack of objectivity

at the Wikipedia page on Orthomolecular Medicine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular_medicine :

One reader writes:

" I created a Wikipedia account to learn to edit in order to keep the

orthomolecular side straight. If you check edits under CSC 42

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/CSC_42 you'll notice that

after hours of editing, my edits have nearly all been replaced by original

posts. Looks to be an edit war. "

Another reader attempted to add the following text, unsuccessfully:

" Diseases that are accepted by conventional medicine to be the result of vitamin

or other nutrient deficiencies are: scurvy, pellagra, beriberi, rickets, tetany,

osteoporosis, goiter, Keshan disease, and iron deficiency anemia. "

Here is some of the other correspondence that OMNS has received:

Australia:

" It is clear that Wikipedia authors are biased against orthomolecular medicine.

Those of us who use ascorbate and other vitamins in high doses know better. The

science behind the use of vitamins as recommended by orthomolecular physicians

and researchers is very well established.

http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v02n02.shtml There are many hundreds of

MDs, naturopaths, nutritionists and others who successfully treat patients with

mega doses. And there are many thousands of well educated people who use the

same on their own. " "

THere's much more.

(2) The Quackbuster manipulation of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia:

Wikipedia is an odd thing. It is made up of a so-called " volunteer system. "

Several years ago, a team of quackbusters infiltrated various levels of the

Wikipedia operation, and are now entrenched in the middle, and lower, level

volunteer management system. If you try and put any positive information about

advanced medicine, or the problems of US health care, on Wikipedia, or change

false or misleading information the quackbusters have installed, you will fail.

You will be blocked from further " editing " and the pages of Wikipedia will now

carry information about what a " terrible person you are. " The only way to have

ANY influence over what Wikipedia says about subject is to approach them with a

legal threat letter at the highest levels. Nothing else works.
