:
==Archive==
I've archived the enormous talk page, using the "move page" method to preserve the edit history. Let's start over, with a clean slate. Maybe we could discuss something simple, like whether #Orthomolecular doctors and #Orthomolecular scientists could be merged, before getting back to the complications of writing a perfect lead. ] (]) 05:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

==Notable==
:"Notable OM Drs & Scientists" would be okay with me. I prefer the 3-4 column format, too.--] (]) 12:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

::What do you think about "Notable supporters"? The word "doctor" makes me itch, because it can legitimately include PhDs, but is usually received as "licensed physicians." ] (]) 18:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

==Lead==
I also agree that leaving the lead alone for a while in the form approved by the RfC is an excellent idea. ] (]) 17:08, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for your prompt attention, I said 2 days off. I thought we should try a more neutral, less injurious version on for size, we could still talk. The "faddism" and "quackery" are not acceptable lede material, they are ] attacks given ] weight often based on highly flawed allegations & distortions, even trivially obvious in the scientific senses. Because of the historical facts on major OMM areas, although I will agree that vitriolic critics are notable in the general sense, their inflammatory misrepresentions & coverage promoting distortions & scientific misconduct that scientifically & commercially interferes & unfairly deprecates others' legitimate results should be discussed where there is space for balancing quotes, references and reader's (yawn) voluntary continued interest.--] (]) 17:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

==AMA discussion==
In response to your concerns about the inclusion of this source, I have posted a question at the ] so people can discuss the issue. ] (]) 17:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
:I think that is premature, as I said since the AMA doesn't even state "orthomlecular" anywhere that is ] or offtopic. Also many editors *are* AMA members or unfamiliar with the underlying issues that especially concern orthomolecular medicine.--] (]) 17:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
