== How to portray the views of "the medical community" == 

 In this edit, an editor takes the view that we should attribute a judgment about a medical matter to "the medical community".  That perspective implies that there might be a different judgment made by a different "community" that we should perhaps pay attention to.  The edit summary even offers the fanciful speculation that "The medical community could be wrong and an online quack right about something"  a counterfactual speculation in the present context, and one that ought not to concern us here.  In my view, the judgment of the "medical community" (in reality, scientific research) should tell us what something is, not what "the medical community" regards it as.  I'd be interested to hear other editors' views, and I'll hope to see that edit reverted.     

 :Definition of medical community:  the body of individuals who are qualified to practice medicine. That also includes CAM which is a growing part of the medical community.  Mayo Clinic states the following  "Complementary and alternative medicine has never been more popular. Nearly 40 percent of adults report using complementary and alternative medicine, also called CAM for short. Doctors are embracing CAM therapies, too, often combining them with mainstream medical therapies — spawning the term "integrative medicine."  Exactly what's considered alternative medicine changes constantly as treatments undergo testing and move into the mainstream."  Any attempt to suppress without question CAM treatments, fringe and/or minority views is censorship.  On WP, we have policies which we are expected to adhere to, and in the case of BLPs, strictly adhere to, and guidelines which have been suggested, such as using MEDRS for finding the best sources - not the only sources.  As editors, we should be acting in the spirit of free thought, considering our options, prioritizing policy, and reviewing guidelines when we write the passages and edit what we feel is appropriate.  With the exception of the pejorative term "quackery", I am ok with such an edit.  ☯
