Never-ending story...
I've made far more than 10,000 edits to vitamin, nutrient mineral, herbal and dietary supplement articles. Sometimes deleting bad and weakly referenced content, sometimes finding and adding better references. It's a never-ending task, and you are welcome to join the host of people who want to see all this get better. David notMD (talk) 21:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi ,

I do want to see it get better. And those edits rack up quickly I've noticed. Never-ending story it is...

I will do my best. Thank you.

 * There is a learning curve. Early on, I have an embarrassingly high reversion rate, until I gradually learned the guidelines for medical/health related topics. And I do agree that many of the less well known herbal supplement ingredients have not been held to the deserved scrutiny. David notMD (talk) 22:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. While user names that are the names of organizations are not permitted, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Foundation", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Guy (help! - typo?) 23:32, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Guy,

Um, not gonna request an unblock, I can totally understand how people could get the wrong impression about my username. I hadn't really thought about it, I chose it because I have had cancer. Not because I am a non-profit. But again, you're right, it does sound like a possible organization.

I don't really need to have my edits attributed to me. I honestly don't need the accolades. So, not gonna request a new username either.

But, thank you for the suggestions.

And, you are right. I do believe that Acetaminophen is a dangerous drug that people abuse and end up lacking empathy and other social behaviors. However, you are, again, right...this is not the forum to try and change things in, certainly. I wish you the best...and hope you enjoy many more years of Wikipedia editing. 4Cancer (talk) 02:52, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Glad to see that the article on Acetaminophen/Paracetamol has been updated to reflect current events. I guess we’ll all see how this plays out. If the class action lawsuits over ADHD and autism win, I will have to say that the early articles about healthy adults lacking empathy and other social behaviors was kind of a harbinger to these current studies about prenatal exposure causing ADHD and autism, and associated lawsuits. I hope that in the future Wikipedia can perhaps be a little more current, and less of a dusty old tome of outdated information. I feel like I got skewered by politics, and a very real danger was missed by a lot of people because of it. It makes me more than sad. 4Cancer (talk) 16:42, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
