Allegedly?

"Mucoid plaque (or mucoid cap or rope) is a term used by some alternative medicine advocates to describe a combination of allegedly harmful mucus-like material and food residue that they say coats the gastrointestinal tract of most people." -- what the hell kind of message is this? Isn't wikipedia about sharing information, not criticizing a subject as false? The tone of this sentence--by using words and phrases such as "some", "allegedly", and "they say"--serves only the purpose to discount the subject "Mucoid Plaque". This makes the article biased, and that's not what a large information base should be about! I'm changing it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aerozeplyn (talk • contribs) 02:04, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages will criticize a subject as false when it is false (like this one). That is the essence of its neutrality. See WP:NPOV and especially WP:FRINGE. Alexbrn (talk) 03:26, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

...who is to judge that it is false? i have direct experience with mucoid plaque. --Aerozeplyn (talk) 09:39, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Consider Removing Richard Anderson References

References to Richard Anderson adds no value to the concept of Mucoid Plaque. For example, it appears that many popular laxatives are on the market containing the same product ingredients, such as psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid ("psyllium husk"), hydrated bentonite, etc. as the products by Richard Anderson. I have not used his products, and I can say that--as a witness--I have personally eliminated mucoid plaque without the use of any laxatives. In fact, here's another individual who claims to have witnessed what is called "mucoid plaque" without using laxatives or colon cleansing products: http://howirecovered.com/failed-liver-flush-delivers-mucoid-plaque/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aerozeplyn (talk • contribs) 10:09, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Repeated removal of the infobox

Not sure why? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:21, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

infobox is pseudoscience. "Mucoid Plaque" is not a subject of scientific study, it is a term. --Aerozeplyn (talk) 12:23, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

We have sources that describe it as such

Medical medical claims that are not based on science is by definition pseudoscience Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:04, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
