You have listed yourself as a participant of this project. The project has had a minimum of activity. Hopefully this can be changed. I am posting this notice on the user talk pages of those participants that are still active Wikipedians. If you are still interested in getting the project into gear, make yourself heard on the project talk page! Cheers! __meco 09:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, I was unsure what the title of the new "Biologically-based therapy" template means, and what the criteria you used to classify these therapies were. Please comment on the template talk page. Tim Vickers 18:24, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I did some research and read the source. The new title is more specific and describes the contents of the template in an unambiguous manner, hopefully you will agree that this is an improvement. Tim Vickers 20:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
1) You no longer seem "set up to receive emails."
2) I have no doubt that orthomolecular medicine is a "biologically based" alternative medical treatment. And yet I think it confuses more than it clarifies when it is classified in the same group as such esoteric therapies like urine therapy.
Bear in mind that the disputes surrounding these 2 therapies are completely different. Proponents of orthomolecular medicine, many scientists and physicians among them, allege that their discipline is the result of meticulous research in laboratories, that could be proved with double blind placebo-controlled studies, but that these generally have yet to (correctly) be done, or that the studies which are claimed to disprove its validity are erroneous in design or conclusions. Of course, the best case solution would be to replicate these studies, once and for all. Urine therapy, on the other hand, is endorsed by but a handful of eccentrics, and to the best of my knowledge, has no lab results to support it.
While the classification as such is correct, I believe it puts orthomolecular medicine into a very misleading light by inference. Would you consider removing your classification?--Alterrabe (talk) 15:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for finding that Dixon link on CAM article. Anthon01 (talk) 03:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Since you are a frequent editor to CAM I wanted to point out this note I left on Guettarda's talkpage. Anthon01 (talk) 17:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
So, leave me a friendly post here, or Email Me . -- John Gohde (talk) 03:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I am not using Wikipedia's email feature. I got my own private email. So, either click on it here or click on it above. -- John Gohde (talk) 19:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I have received a few suggestions about participating in a mentorship program. Of course, I am more than willing to be mentored by any editor who does not consider complementary and alternative medicine to be a dirty word. -- John Gohde (talk) 19:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
If you want to communicate with me, then send me email. -- John Gohde (talk) 14:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Overall, I am very happy with the present state of affairs on Wikipedia. I have basically accomplished everything that I have set out to accomplish, during my third stay at Wikipedia. And, all of the articles that I have edited are still in an acceptable state.
At this point, my participation on Wikipedia will become extremely limited. But, I will be checking in weekly to see that all is still going well on my current list of projects. -- John Gohde (talk) 03:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
The Hate Blogger's account, User:Gohdeilocks, managed to get itself blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia in only one week [2] . While, silly me, I have been editing here for over a year. The Hate Blogger, of course, has accomplished virtually nothing. -- John Gohde (talk) 21:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
My current stay clearly lasted the largest, and in many ways it was the most successful. And, of course, it is never how much time you have wasted on Wikipedia, but what you have managed to accomplished. -- John Gohde (talk) 21:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Where do I put my vote, John? simple as... thanks Peter morrell 16:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
