As you said, I added a bunch of other websites to specific section of KnowledgeĀ : ADHD, organ transplantation, spasticity and insulin resistance. All websites were clearly targeting these specific medical fields. I think that you're sharing my point of view about the fact that ADHD, diabetes of type 2 and spasticity, for example, are subjects that most doctors will be glad to read about and not the general public. It's not like if I added a car website "for car dealers only" on a general wikipedia car page, don't you think? Regarding the fact that all websites were coming from the same company, yes it is right. To create online presentations and travel around the world to record them, you must have the funds to do it. But they are all free to healthcare providers and the speakers presented on their homepages are some of the most respected in their medical fields. And "CME" stands for Continuing Medical Education; each doctor must get credits for learning sessions each year to keep its practice license, it's mandatory. -

belief is pseudoscience, the content of the belief is pseudoscience, it has been called and described as pseudoscience by reliable sources thus calling it a pseudoscientific belief is valid. It's not like the advocates of this belief don't all rely on pseudoscience, this isn't a religious belief or a philosophical opinion, this is a belief that the science that says A causes B is wrong and other (pseudo)science is right. Pretty clearly a pseudoscientific belief, view, proposition, notion, idea whatever noun employed. I agree that good writing should prevail whenever possible, propose something good!

in Africa). HIV is one of the trickiest viruses we've ever encountered. As such, there is much uncertainty and confusion among those studying it. On the positive side (excuse the pun) there have been enormous advances in our overall understanding of both viruses and the human immune system. Now, perhaps you are one of the 1%-3% (exact percentage unkown) who are immune to this "non-existent" virus? Your opinion is very strong - what's the risk then? My offer is genuine - I'm sure you'll attract a lot of media attention for your anti-HIV cause should you decide to take it up.

I do understand that some editors wish to get the disclaimer-terms in as early as possible, but I think that can be counter-productive. It makes readers feel they are been preached at, or hit over the head with an "official" POV.

We could even leave it to the

Taken literally, they imply that "conclusive medical and scientific evidence" does not show that HIV/AIDS denialism is something other than the belief that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does not cause acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Think about it very, very, carefully, and you will realize that such a statement does not make sense. I do object in the strongest terms to incompetent edits like the one you just made.
