Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticisms of medicine (2nd nomination)
the history of medicine is full of techniques that were once considered ''"cutting edge"'' and ''"scientific"'', that are now considered nonsense - phlebotomy, bleeding to drain bad humours, for instance.  On the other hand, there are techniques now used that seemed like quack techniques, that are now universally accepted.  Semmelweis, the 19th century obstetrician who first argued doctors should wash their hands prior to delivering babies was sent to an insane asylum.  No offense but it is only recentism that makes fans of scientific medicine see it as above criticism.  Will kooks try to stuff Criticisms of medicine with kooky nonsense?   Maybe.  But that is true of articles on any notable topic.  And the remedy for that is for non-kooks to put the article on their watchlist, and insist that new material complies with , ,  and .  If we think new material ''seems'' kooky, but our check shows us it complies with VER, RS, NPOV and NOR, it wasn't kooky after all, it was only our unexamined biases that made us think it was kooky
