Hi Doc James,
Would you please take a look at the Post Finasteride Syndrome Foundation page and offer your always judicious opinion? Right now the page is in a state where Yobol and Alexbrn have made efforts to criticize or delegitimize anything to do with the foundation or syndrome and it has a very strong POV. A single blog post written by a non-neutral author has made its way into the lead while AlexBRN deleted any mention of the foundation's substantive activities. Maybe the PFS Foundation would be better off not even having a page if we have editors like that who are going to imply they use sinister tactics and ignore the dozen or so MEDRS sources that support a similar viewpoint as the foundation. Doors22 ( talk) 14:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
it was noted that he tag-teamed with Alexbrn← it was not really "noted"; this was an accusation (by a troublesome editor using a disguised account) that got no traction in the case. Which is not surprising really, since it was a lie ;-) Basically, Doors, you need to stop trying to use Wikipedia in this pathetic attempt to advocate for this supposed "syndrome" of yours in ways that are not fully accepted in the established literature. Continuing to do so is only going to end up with you being banned - my suggestion would be for a topic ban on Finasteride and all related topics, however tenuous.

not looking for medical diagnosis asking questions of a compilation of systems. Personal impression strictly. I'm inquiring about a woman how old is a proximally 76 years old who has a dry cough that produces thick stringy mucous, down to the point of causing her to choke at times. Very thin in stature how many pounds does j way what size is Janie (psuedonyn,janie)I don't know the exact weight but she wears a size 10 but that's to cover up a much slimmer waste it's obvious from the clothes and the way they fit on her and the way they drape, that she's probably around 6 or 4. yeah so anywaysshe's about 5'1" ft.. Janie live in an industrial area that produces many types petrochemicals and synthetic chemicals that. jenny has been in this area for 35 years in past history that have been various fires and explosions at the plants. not saying that this is cause of the problem but saying that this adds to the symptoms presented.it makes its way into the air. The name name the place called Pittsburg California close enough.
She has a low amount of which she readily expends that energy in spirts.doesn't nap during the day but she will fall asleep if reading during the day not that all readers fall asleep only when the book in the material is really bad lol. mind you we are just trying to help a friend figure out what's going on with her getting appropriate diagnostics is not an easy thing in this day and age especially when you live in rural areas even some of the city areas because finding good Dr is very difficult. that's a good paragraph
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.please respond at this email address thank you very much!

Hello, I accidentally hit save too early when I was editing the OCD article, so there was one part that was definitely awkwardly worded in the middle of a sentence. I was about to fix it and then I saw you reverted it. There were some things in the way it was originally worded that I thought were confusing or inaccurate. E.g. The first sentence was lifted straight from the source verbatim. This sentence isn't worded correctly: "There appears to be some genetic components with identical twins more often affected than non-identical twins." That doesn't explain why they think it's genetic and it's not really true with that wording b/c identical twins aren't more likely to have OCD than non-identical twins unless one of them already has it. Can you tell me specifically ones of my changes you thought were more confusing than how it was originally worded and then I will leave those how they were?

We are trying to write the leads in easy to understand English. This is not easy "where people have certain intrusive thoughts thoughts repeatedly ( obsessions) and/or feel the need to perform certain routines or mental tasks repeatedly compulsions."
This is easier to understand and more to the point "where people feel the need to check things repeatedly, have certain thoughts repeatedly, or feel they need to perform certain routines repeatedly"
IMO we should leave the definition of technical terms to the body of the article.
This is not particularly easy to understand either "The obsessive thoughts, images or urges are unwanted and elicit distress, whereas the goal of the compulsive behavior is typically to eliminate or neutralize these thoughts or to satisfy a rigid set of personal rules or rituals."
We specifically say "The leads of articles, if not the entire article, should be written as simply as possible without introducing errors." [9] Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 02:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi: You had a question concerning the image:
Here the answer: The image was greeted with a warm welcome on the German sister site some months ago and has not been met by one single objection since. Young persons are the major group of those affected by the disease. Here, on the painting, they are - each on their own - sitting at the border between land and sea and looking out. Munch is known for his psychologically inclined paintings. I hope this is sufficient for an explanation. Could you please reinstall the image?

Good afternoon Doc James
As a registered Wikipedian, could you please rename the current article Biological clock (aging) into "DNA methylation clock"? I have put this proposal and my reasons on the Talk page, but no response yet.
Briefly, my concern is that the current article title "hijacks" the normal English usages of the term "biological clock" (normal contexts being "sleep-wake cycle", or "female infertility with advancing age") to promote a specific 2013 paper which describes a newly discovered DNA methylation pattern.
I have no problem with the 2013 research paper, but it has nothing to do with "biological clock" in the usual sense of jetlag or female infertility. If in doubt, please convince yourself by typing "biological clock" in a google search.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.103.75 ( talk) 12:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi again Doc James and Merry Christmas. Thanks for the renaming, and since then I think I have fixed all my problems. Can you please also change the name of the Japanese and Chinese wiki articles (I am not fluent in either language). Secondly, I think your redirect is no longer necessary because I have updated links from other Wiki Articles; there is a chance though that I may have overlooked some obsolete "Biological Clock ageing" links - so please check for survivors and eliminate them.

How do you suppose "a detailed review of the available scientific literature that addresses possible health effects of β-casomorphins and related peptides, and in particular β-casomorphin-7 (BCM7), a peptide sequence present in the milk protein β-casein." which concludes "that a cause and effect relationship is not established between the dietary intake of BCM7, related peptides or their possible protein precursors and non-communicable diseases."
becomes: "A 2009 review found little to no scientific evidence that A2 milk has benefits over normal milk." A better sentence would be: "A 2009 review found there was no established scientific link between consumption of A1 beta casein proteins present in milk and non-communicable diseases."
Essentially, what this review actually concludes is, that at the time of publishing, there was was insufficient scientific evidence to make any conclusions regarding BCM7 and non-communicable diseases. The review is by no-means all-inclusive that represents entire scientific consensus. It is's simply inappropriate to use a review to state false conclusions on A2 milk. There are many ways A2 milk may provide benefit over "normal milk" - and the review does not examine this.
The fact remains there is a scientific hypothesis, backed by several credible studies (including secondary sources that have been removed) and consumer experiences that suggest there are indeed benefits of A2-only milk compared to A1+A2 milk. Why you and others are trying to eliminate this viewpoint - but it IS a valid viewpoint. Currently the article reads that the A2 Milk is completely baseless without any evidence which is not true.Until it's fixed the article is simply bias. Aeonx ( talk) 00:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame? Being so aggressive, so less place for constructive discussion, so authoritative... what a shame. When one wants to improve an article actually based on false references that doesn't talk of the page's subject - and even on lies (when a reference is falsely used). So it's false, you know it and you stick on that. There are rules here, why not being capable of objectivity? It's scientific, it's easy. Read carefully the articles you use on his page, and not use false references. It's a shame for wikipedia itself to let that happen, what a pity. Jdontfight ( talk) 10:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently reverted my edit to the sleep apnea article because you felt that adding the word ResMed was a little "spammy." Perhaps you could explain why you think this. AFAIK, there are two main makers of CPAPs ( Philips Respironics and ResMed), and the one in the picture is clearly a ResMed S9. The reason I added that information is that I felt it is important for the article to have the main manufacturers of CPAPs. I am going to be bold and add in something to the article so that people know what the main makers of CPAPs are. Peace, MPS ( talk) 19:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Several articles written about sleep apnea on wikipedia contain inaccurate information. This includes inaccurate definitions, a big problem considering the number of individuals and even health practitioners relying on this information. Recent changes that were made on articles on sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea, were made to improve the quality of this content. They were subsequently reversed citing original sources being more highly regarded or for other reasons.
However, guidelines on [ reliable sources] on wikipedia stipulate:
"Literature reviews, systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies."
Recent changes judged content of a webpage of the National Heart & Blood Institute (NHLBI) to be more reliable than that of the American Sleep Apnea Society. This does not follow the quality assurance guidelines of Wikipedia. While the NHLBI often provides content that does meet the criteria of "medical guidelines" and are peer reviewed publications, a public information page that provides information that is not referenced and contains no evidence of an author does not meet any verifiable quality standards. The health information page provided by NHLBI regarding sleep apnea does not represent any of the aforementioned specifications for quality. In contrast, the latter source from the American Sleep Apnea Society is maintained by an "expert in the field." Furthermore, some of the content in the original definition provided on wikipedia are different than information contained in the NHLBI article.
The more important point is that the original version on Wikipedia is less accurate, which can mislead readers and professionals. The latter version is more accurate. You can run the different versions by any sleep medicine expert to verify what I am saying. If the modifications to these articles are reversed then quality will be compromised. This will provide a disservice to Wikipedia by sacrificing quality and most importantly to it's readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.56.61.48 ( talk) 14:50, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for letting me know. I thought the policy was merely peer reviewed articles. Since I first read this reference, I have tried different things to help a relative with strabismus. Perhaps this may interest you. Possibly there are some review articles out there you have access to, such as [19] which unfortunately is not in English. I think there is a gap in this article--the psychological/bonding dynamic as it relates to strabismus influenced neurology. Here is my situation:
In my case a relative of mine had congenital strabismus (severe infantile esotropia). However, despite repeated surgery, beginning in infancy, the corrections would not last. Corrective glasses were also tried and did not help. Hence even more surgeries were needed over decades. Now no more surgeries can be performed due to the extensive work already done. I worked with this relative by experimenting with binaural beats (theta especially helps) and eye exercises with one eye closed to change eye dominance. Both were able to change eye dominance. It seems that going back and forth over the weeks has reduced the strabismus, no matter which eye is dominant, though left eye dominant has better alignment. Reading tended to make the right eye dominant, so we had to cut back on that in order to keep a left eye dominance for longer. As eye dominance shifted, sometimes there was a ringing in the ears sound which when on for no more than 5 or 10 minutes. Eye dominance changes were associated with new memories coming back, spontaneously--which were previously repressed. Different patterns of thinking (associated with paternal or maternal influences) also alternated. Additionally, there was growth in metacognition and self-awareness of underlying or conflicting thoughts or feelings. Yet another thing that helped was maintaining consistent eye contact with my relative, especially during times of increased emotion. We were also able to get some improvement with EMDR style eye exercises. This improvement is lasting, although as you can see there are multiple independent variables here. But they all deal with similar dynamic.
Reading in textbooks in back early December, I found a discussion of how infants learn eye tracking by interacting with their mother. It makes sense that someone with strabismus would have difficulty learning this, with different types of bonding or parenting practices potentially adding another risk factor. One textbook was concerned that certain mothers of infants with congenital strabismus respond to this by avoiding all eye contact with their infants.
Communication or coordination across brain hemispheres has long had some extra challenges for this relative of mine, who did exercises similar to EMDR for an amusement as a child. While my relative's eyes would go straight across one way, they would skip one the way back. Working with the EMDR style exercises, I have been able to get them to travel smooth both ways, after my relative first experiences the emotion that is common in EMDR style exercises.
The improvement in alignment which my relative has experienced since we started experimenting with this has been lasting. I am of the opinion that there are probably some sufficient quality articles touching on some of the topics I have brought up. Some cases of strabismus improving spontaneously, such as after placement out of an orphanage into a foster family, may also touch on these. Perhaps you know of quality sources? I improvised what we did and am not part of any anti-establishment quack cure movement or anything like that. It seems straightforward to me that what we did helped strengthen left and right brain hemisphere communication and therefore also eye tracking. Please also understand that I am not anti-surgery, but rather that I think lack of brain hemisphere communication can sabotage benefits gained from surgery.
I will check here later if you want to reply here in stead of my talk page. Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 07:01, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Second about copy you are taiking about , you search through google book download( Illegal site to download or even reading ) BUT I possessed & bought those refrances and I mark it exatly to those refrances as it is in much if I can rephrased or not , I not pertaining this to my BRAIN .
Dear doc james , we are So Medical proficient , Dont say yes and then you close the talk icon . First not all patients will come to you because you are ER Doctor are at severe cases of cellulitis , rather than that you have to think about organism & severity ....So , not all patient they will admit to give theme cefazoline I.V. or I.V.

Hi Doc James,
Would you please take a look at the Post Finasteride Syndrome Foundation page and offer your always judicious opinion? Right now the page is in a state where Yobol and Alexbrn have made efforts to criticize or delegitimize anything to do with the foundation or syndrome and it has a very strong POV. A single blog post written by a non-neutral author has made its way into the lead while AlexBRN deleted any mention of the foundation's substantive activities. Maybe the PFS Foundation would be better off not even having a page if we have editors like that who are going to imply they use sinister tactics and ignore the dozen or so MEDRS sources that support a similar viewpoint as the foundation. Doors22 ( talk) 14:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
it was noted that he tag-teamed with Alexbrn← it was not really "noted"; this was an accusation (by a troublesome editor using a disguised account) that got no traction in the case. Which is not surprising really, since it was a lie ;-) Basically, Doors, you need to stop trying to use Wikipedia in this pathetic attempt to advocate for this supposed "syndrome" of yours in ways that are not fully accepted in the established literature. Continuing to do so is only going to end up with you being banned - my suggestion would be for a topic ban on Finasteride and all related topics, however tenuous.

Hello, I accidentally hit save too early when I was editing the OCD article, so there was one part that was definitely awkwardly worded in the middle of a sentence. I was about to fix it and then I saw you reverted it. There were some things in the way it was originally worded that I thought were confusing or inaccurate. E.g. The first sentence was lifted straight from the source verbatim. This sentence isn't worded correctly: "There appears to be some genetic components with identical twins more often affected than non-identical twins." That doesn't explain why they think it's genetic and it's not really true with that wording b/c identical twins aren't more likely to have OCD than non-identical twins unless one of them already has it. Can you tell me specifically ones of my changes you thought were more confusing than how it was originally worded and then I will leave those how they were?

We are trying to write the leads in easy to understand English. This is not easy "where people have certain intrusive thoughts thoughts repeatedly ( obsessions) and/or feel the need to perform certain routines or mental tasks repeatedly compulsions."
This is easier to understand and more to the point "where people feel the need to check things repeatedly, have certain thoughts repeatedly, or feel they need to perform certain routines repeatedly"
IMO we should leave the definition of technical terms to the body of the article.
This is not particularly easy to understand either "The obsessive thoughts, images or urges are unwanted and elicit distress, whereas the goal of the compulsive behavior is typically to eliminate or neutralize these thoughts or to satisfy a rigid set of personal rules or rituals."
We specifically say "The leads of articles, if not the entire article, should be written as simply as possible without introducing errors." [9] Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 02:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi: You had a question concerning the image:
Here the answer: The image was greeted with a warm welcome on the German sister site some months ago and has not been met by one single objection since. Young persons are the major group of those affected by the disease. Here, on the painting, they are - each on their own - sitting at the border between land and sea and looking out. Munch is known for his psychologically inclined paintings. I hope this is sufficient for an explanation. Could you please reinstall the image?

Good afternoon Doc James
As a registered Wikipedian, could you please rename the current article Biological clock (aging) into "DNA methylation clock"? I have put this proposal and my reasons on the Talk page, but no response yet.
Briefly, my concern is that the current article title "hijacks" the normal English usages of the term "biological clock" (normal contexts being "sleep-wake cycle", or "female infertility with advancing age") to promote a specific 2013 paper which describes a newly discovered DNA methylation pattern.
I have no problem with the 2013 research paper, but it has nothing to do with "biological clock" in the usual sense of jetlag or female infertility. If in doubt, please convince yourself by typing "biological clock" in a google search.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.103.75 ( talk) 12:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi again Doc James and Merry Christmas. Thanks for the renaming, and since then I think I have fixed all my problems. Can you please also change the name of the Japanese and Chinese wiki articles (I am not fluent in either language). Secondly, I think your redirect is no longer necessary because I have updated links from other Wiki Articles; there is a chance though that I may have overlooked some obsolete "Biological Clock ageing" links - so please check for survivors and eliminate them.

How do you suppose "a detailed review of the available scientific literature that addresses possible health effects of β-casomorphins and related peptides, and in particular β-casomorphin-7 (BCM7), a peptide sequence present in the milk protein β-casein." which concludes "that a cause and effect relationship is not established between the dietary intake of BCM7, related peptides or their possible protein precursors and non-communicable diseases."
becomes: "A 2009 review found little to no scientific evidence that A2 milk has benefits over normal milk." A better sentence would be: "A 2009 review found there was no established scientific link between consumption of A1 beta casein proteins present in milk and non-communicable diseases."
Essentially, what this review actually concludes is, that at the time of publishing, there was was insufficient scientific evidence to make any conclusions regarding BCM7 and non-communicable diseases. The review is by no-means all-inclusive that represents entire scientific consensus. It is's simply inappropriate to use a review to state false conclusions on A2 milk. There are many ways A2 milk may provide benefit over "normal milk" - and the review does not examine this.
The fact remains there is a scientific hypothesis, backed by several credible studies (including secondary sources that have been removed) and consumer experiences that suggest there are indeed benefits of A2-only milk compared to A1+A2 milk. Why you and others are trying to eliminate this viewpoint - but it IS a valid viewpoint. Currently the article reads that the A2 Milk is completely baseless without any evidence which is not true.Until it's fixed the article is simply bias. Aeonx ( talk) 00:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame? Being so aggressive, so less place for constructive discussion, so authoritative... what a shame. When one wants to improve an article actually based on false references that doesn't talk of the page's subject - and even on lies (when a reference is falsely used). So it's false, you know it and you stick on that. There are rules here, why not being capable of objectivity? It's scientific, it's easy. Read carefully the articles you use on his page, and not use false references. It's a shame for wikipedia itself to let that happen, what a pity. Jdontfight ( talk) 10:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently reverted my edit to the sleep apnea article because you felt that adding the word ResMed was a little "spammy." Perhaps you could explain why you think this. AFAIK, there are two main makers of CPAPs ( Philips Respironics and ResMed), and the one in the picture is clearly a ResMed S9. The reason I added that information is that I felt it is important for the article to have the main manufacturers of CPAPs. I am going to be bold and add in something to the article so that people know what the main makers of CPAPs are. Peace, MPS ( talk) 19:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Several articles written about sleep apnea on wikipedia contain inaccurate information. This includes inaccurate definitions, a big problem considering the number of individuals and even health practitioners relying on this information. Recent changes that were made on articles on sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea, were made to improve the quality of this content. They were subsequently reversed citing original sources being more highly regarded or for other reasons.
However, guidelines on [ reliable sources] on wikipedia stipulate:
"Literature reviews, systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies."
Recent changes judged content of a webpage of the National Heart & Blood Institute (NHLBI) to be more reliable than that of the American Sleep Apnea Society. This does not follow the quality assurance guidelines of Wikipedia. While the NHLBI often provides content that does meet the criteria of "medical guidelines" and are peer reviewed publications, a public information page that provides information that is not referenced and contains no evidence of an author does not meet any verifiable quality standards. The health information page provided by NHLBI regarding sleep apnea does not represent any of the aforementioned specifications for quality. In contrast, the latter source from the American Sleep Apnea Society is maintained by an "expert in the field." Furthermore, some of the content in the original definition provided on wikipedia are different than information contained in the NHLBI article.
The more important point is that the original version on Wikipedia is less accurate, which can mislead readers and professionals. The latter version is more accurate. You can run the different versions by any sleep medicine expert to verify what I am saying. If the modifications to these articles are reversed then quality will be compromised. This will provide a disservice to Wikipedia by sacrificing quality and most importantly to it's readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.56.61.48 ( talk) 14:50, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for letting me know. I thought the policy was merely peer reviewed articles. Since I first read this reference, I have tried different things to help a relative with strabismus. Perhaps this may interest you. Possibly there are some review articles out there you have access to, such as [19] which unfortunately is not in English. I think there is a gap in this article--the psychological/bonding dynamic as it relates to strabismus influenced neurology. Here is my situation:
In my case a relative of mine had congenital strabismus (severe infantile esotropia). However, despite repeated surgery, beginning in infancy, the corrections would not last. Corrective glasses were also tried and did not help. Hence even more surgeries were needed over decades. Now no more surgeries can be performed due to the extensive work already done. I worked with this relative by experimenting with binaural beats (theta especially helps) and eye exercises with one eye closed to change eye dominance. Both were able to change eye dominance. It seems that going back and forth over the weeks has reduced the strabismus, no matter which eye is dominant, though left eye dominant has better alignment. Reading tended to make the right eye dominant, so we had to cut back on that in order to keep a left eye dominance for longer. As eye dominance shifted, sometimes there was a ringing in the ears sound which when on for no more than 5 or 10 minutes. Eye dominance changes were associated with new memories coming back, spontaneously--which were previously repressed. Different patterns of thinking (associated with paternal or maternal influences) also alternated. Additionally, there was growth in metacognition and self-awareness of underlying or conflicting thoughts or feelings. Yet another thing that helped was maintaining consistent eye contact with my relative, especially during times of increased emotion. We were also able to get some improvement with EMDR style eye exercises. This improvement is lasting, although as you can see there are multiple independent variables here. But they all deal with similar dynamic.
Reading in textbooks in back early December, I found a discussion of how infants learn eye tracking by interacting with their mother. It makes sense that someone with strabismus would have difficulty learning this, with different types of bonding or parenting practices potentially adding another risk factor. One textbook was concerned that certain mothers of infants with congenital strabismus respond to this by avoiding all eye contact with their infants.
Communication or coordination across brain hemispheres has long had some extra challenges for this relative of mine, who did exercises similar to EMDR for an amusement as a child. While my relative's eyes would go straight across one way, they would skip one the way back. Working with the EMDR style exercises, I have been able to get them to travel smooth both ways, after my relative first experiences the emotion that is common in EMDR style exercises.
The improvement in alignment which my relative has experienced since we started experimenting with this has been lasting. I am of the opinion that there are probably some sufficient quality articles touching on some of the topics I have brought up. Some cases of strabismus improving spontaneously, such as after placement out of an orphanage into a foster family, may also touch on these. Perhaps you know of quality sources? I improvised what we did and am not part of any anti-establishment quack cure movement or anything like that. It seems straightforward to me that what we did helped strengthen left and right brain hemisphere communication and therefore also eye tracking. Please also understand that I am not anti-surgery, but rather that I think lack of brain hemisphere communication can sabotage benefits gained from surgery.
I will check here later if you want to reply here in stead of my talk page. Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 07:01, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I hope Not to remove the whole edit as instead you can reediting my paragraph with removing of the dose ( thank you ) Other point that the cephalosporin is not used to treat cellulitis as I have seen your paragraph. Other Like in VRE you can remove the dose with reediting the remaining if you not like the whole.
Second about copy you are taiking about , you search through google book download( Illegal site to download or even reading ) BUT I possessed & bought those refrances and I mark it exatly to those refrances as it is in much if I can rephrased or not , I not pertaining this to my BRAIN .
Dear doc james , we are So Medical proficient , Dont say yes and then you close the talk icon . First not all patients will come to you because you are ER Doctor are at severe cases of cellulitis , rather than that you have to think about organism & severity ....So , not all patient they will admit to give theme cefazoline I.V. or I.V.
