The Promotion of Scientific Bias on Wikipedia

 Progressive Radio Network, October 23, 2019

During the past two years, our investigations into Wikipedia and modern Skepticism, focused primarily upon subjects related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine (e.g., Chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine,  homeopathy, etc.), as well as individual practitioners and advocates of these nonconventional medical systems (e.g., Drs. Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, David Perlmutter, etc.), has shown extreme bias, distortion of facts, shoddy selection of legitimate references and a systemic effort to conceal from the IRS, Congress and the media what we believe is institutional corruption.  Furthermore, during this period, we have composed and disseminated over 50 articles to deconstruct Wikipedia and its Skeptic editors. Much of this same information has been sent to Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales and the Wikimedia Foundation Board members.

Equally important, based upon the data and evidence, the character assassination of entire groups of health practitioners, likely numbering in the tens of thousands, represents in our opinion a crime against humanity. Why? Because there are thousands of studies published in the peer-reviewed literature that prove that the image Wikipedia attempts to convey to the public is grossly wrong.  Even products such as pesticides, genetically modified foods, and chemicals in common household products that international health bodies have declared as carcinogenic or the cause for serious illness, are routinely whitewashed on Wikipedia.

At the same time, Wikipedia editors who control many of the health pages, condemn, ridicule and vilify with animus the scientific conclusions that show alternative medical therapies can prevent and reverse life-threatening diseases. In fact, these editors have become so brazen, they brag about their skills and success in targeting living persons to destroy their reputations.
