I really don't have time for deep editing, but I work all day with books and authors, and I do not promote my work or where I work. All my contributions are on subjects I know very well and on books that are relevant and important. If they are not relevant, they will be deleted. There are many missing important titles, who can do this job better than me and my colleagues? I edit FURTHER READING SECTIONS, if the external links I provide lead to junk or irrelevant information, I deserve rambling... Anyway, thanks for the explanation. I took notice.

Yes this is part of a school assignment. I combined these three articles together with the intention to go more in depth on the history of global health and the controversy around why there is so much focus on AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria specifically. I had hoped that this would shine through in the "Criticism" section.

Without trying to start an edit war, I included Helminthic therapy because it is a possible treatment for allergies. Are you looking for something specific? Wikipedia aside, there's an estimated 0% chance that the terms "rhinorrhea" and "helminthic therapy" will appear in the same article together anywhere else. The words have two very different target audiences.
I guess where I'm going with this is which part of the Helminthic therapy treatment of Rhinorrhea do you believe is unsupported? I assumed it was the existence of the treatment, but apparently it's something else.
The first source I added, Parasitic Worms and Inflammatory Disease, admittedly is more about the potential treatment of T1D and other autoimmune diseases, but it lists the effects of parasitic infection. I included it because one of them is suppressing inflammatory reactions.
The second one, Helminths and Harmony is about the use of worms as possible treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.
There are plenty of websites out there that are dedicated to helminthic therapy, I only included one as a reference.
I don't believe I said it was a treatment to rhinorrhea in general, but to rhinorrhea caused by inflammation, notably due to a histamine reaction. If you don't think that that is enough to qualify to mention it, then I guess I don't have a problem with it. I'm just making sure you don't want it removed simply because it is considered an alternative medicine or something.

Hello, Jmh649! Yes, all Wikipedias have books. For example, here you have the help page in Spanish, and here you have the main category in French. Those two pages have lots of interwikis, so follow them. The only issue is that other Wikipedias don't have a Book namespace, so books are placed in the User or Wikipedia namespaces. And few have wikiprojects for books. I'd love to "translate" books into Spanish, but I would do that only if we get the namespace. When that happens, contact me to coordinate.

I came across this blog post Curing 30000 people by Scott Adams. After looking at Scott's edits, it appears that he adds good information to the wikipedia article, but he does not have any citations to back up his claims. I'm afraid that his edits will get reverted because there are no citations and that will lead to an inappropriate conclusion that information is being suppressed.

Happy New Year James! Hope this one is a good one for you. This edit summary amused me. Can you imagine what might happen if the "lay public" wrote medical articles on Wikipedia? One shudders at the thought :-).
I've added some more student activity stats to User:Colin/Introduction to Psychology, Part I.
I've written an essay at User:Colin/A large scale student assignment – what could possibly go wrong?. Could you review it and let me know if there are mistakes and what your thoughts are. I'd like to present this to a wider audience, including WP:MED. The next assignment begins 28th January. It is my opinion that it should not go ahead as currently designed. Indeed, I think that if such a large scale assignment is to be performed, then a radically different set of tasks should be chosen. Colin° Talk 22:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I was just wondering why my edits to the 'Trauma' section of the 'Tranexamic Acid' page have been removed...?

I have answered you on my talk page. Please consider reverting back to my edit as there is scanty information on prevention. Please see: The greatest risk for developing schizophrenia is having a first-degree relative with the disease (risk is 6.5%) and A number of drugs have been associated with the development of schizophrenia, including cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamines. This is not original research simply math that shows the addition of genetic and environmental factors. Glennconti ( talk) 16:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Thus, it seems that cannabis can be conceptualized as a cumulative causal factor in some individuals, acting in concert with other vulnerability factors to promote the manifestation of the illness in some individuals who might otherwise have remained schizophrenia free. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2659306/
Doesn't the above confirm that "Children of schizophrenics might try to avoid substance abuse so as not to increase their chances of developing schizophrenia" and might be included in the article as a fact to aid in prevention? Glennconti ( talk) 19:56, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

.Infants and small children may develop lesions diffusely, but unlike adults, lesions are common on the face, scalp, neck, palms, and soles. All cutaneous sites are susceptible in immunocompromised and elderly patients, who often have a history of a widespread, pruritic eczematous eruption.

Dear Jmh649,
On December 26th, 2011 at 22:23 you reverted editing of Classification of Back Pain article. In the article Revision history you specified that you reverted it because, “Ah simply not true”. The problem is that all my edits (no exceptions) in the reverted Classification (which can still be visible here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vgladoun/sandbox) were referenced to mainstream medical American institutions, specifically American Chiropractic Association (ACA), American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), and American National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.

Hi. You just made a whole bunch of changes to the Tuberculosis article, and for most of them you left no edit summaries, or ones so brief and cryptic as to be meaningless. Please explain what you're doing as you do it so that others can follow, especially when moving things from one section to another. Thanks.-- TEHodson 05:23, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello Doc James,
I've taken the review/rewrite of Epilepsy in females with mental retardation about as far as I can right now (e.g., limited abstract info, one foreign reference, push my ability to grasp the subject only so far). If you have a chance to glance at the article and let me know where there are additional areas to focus on tightening/cleaning up, it would be much appreciated!-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 01:36, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Happy New Year James! Hope this one is a good one for you. This edit summary amused me. Can you imagine what might happen if the "lay public" wrote medical articles on Wikipedia? One shudders at the thought :-).
I've added some more student activity stats to User:Colin/Introduction to Psychology, Part I.
I've written an essay at User:Colin/A large scale student assignment – what could possibly go wrong?. Could you review it and let me know if there are mistakes and what your thoughts are. I'd like to present this to a wider audience, including WP:MED. The next assignment begins 28th January. It is my opinion that it should not go ahead as currently designed. Indeed, I think that if such a large scale assignment is to be performed, then a radically different set of tasks should be chosen. Colin° Talk 22:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I was just wondering why my edits to the 'Trauma' section of the 'Tranexamic Acid' page have been removed...?
The CRASH-2 trial provided some really important results which I think are of interest to readers of the page. I also think that it is useful to reference the trial results published in the Lancet.
I'd be grateful for your thoughts, especially any advice on how this section can be expanded in a way that is acceptable to Wikipedia.

Hey Doc: Seasons Greetings/Happy New Year etc. Nice to hear from you! I am in the middle of a career change now, and planning on (hopefully) moving out west sometime in the next 3-6 months. Therefore, my Wikitime is unfortunately going to be limited (again) for a bit. I will, of course, be very happy to do what I can when I can on the Translation project ... and will do it just for you, James :-)
Thanks for keeping me in mind, try to keep me posted on all the stuff you're doing. You do great and voluminous work on here, Doc, and I have TREMENDOUS respect for your dedication and efforts. See you around.

I have answered you on my talk page. Please consider reverting back to my edit as there is scanty information on prevention. Please see: The greatest risk for developing schizophrenia is having a first-degree relative with the disease (risk is 6.5%) and A number of drugs have been associated with the development of schizophrenia, including cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamines. This is not original research simply math that shows the addition of genetic and environmental factors. Glennconti ( talk) 16:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Thus, it seems that cannabis can be conceptualized as a cumulative causal factor in some individuals, acting in concert with other vulnerability factors to promote the manifestation of the illness in some individuals who might otherwise have remained schizophrenia free. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2659306/
Doesn't the above confirm that "Children of schizophrenics might try to avoid substance abuse so as not to increase their chances of developing schizophrenia" and might be included in the article as a fact to aid in prevention? Glennconti ( talk) 19:56, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Are you absolutely sure that a mention in the "Prevention" section is not warranted? Glennconti ( talk) 20:18, 1 January 2012(UTC)

Wondering if you could provide a ref for your recent edit? " Except in infants and the immunosuppressed, infection generally does not occur in the skin of the face or scalp. " Thanks -- Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 02:20, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
.Infants and small children may develop lesions diffusely, but unlike adults, lesions are common on the face, scalp, neck, palms, and soles. All cutaneous sites are susceptible in immunocompromised and elderly patients, who often have a history of a widespread, pruritic eczematous eruption.
This is why scabicides in healthy adults are used only from the neck down, you know. S B H arris 05:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Greetings,
This is a bit of an odd request, but what do you think about fully-protecting this page? It gets vandalized a couple times per year to no good end, and I seem to be the only one who checks on it on a quasi-regular basis. The debate is over, there's not much else to be said, seems like a place to use common sense, ignore the rules, and cite a whole bunch of policies that basically justify breaking the rules.

Dear Jmh649,
On December 26th, 2011 at 22:23 you reverted editing of Classification of Back Pain article. In the article Revision history you specified that you reverted it because, “Ah simply not true”. The problem is that all my edits (no exceptions) in the reverted Classification (which can still be visible here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vgladoun/sandbox) were referenced to mainstream medical American institutions, specifically American Chiropractic Association (ACA), American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), and American National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. These references are easily traceable so far. I am wandering, why mainstream American institutions’ information you labeled “Ah simply not true” and reverted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vgladoun ( talk • contribs) 18:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi jmh649, I hope I am addressing you in the appropriate forum. I believe that you may have removed the Herpes Gingivalis content I contributed yesterday. If so, please explain what I did wrong and/or how to fix what was wrong. Thanks, DentalSchoolProfessor DentalSchoolProfessor ( talk) 21:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
