Dear JamesBWatson, many thanks for you response. I am very new to wikipedia and made less than 5 edits. You state that it does not matter if I am sockpuppet or not because I have "grossly misinterpreted sources". I think it does make a difference because interpretation is obviously subjective and being a sockpuppet is not. Moreover, it was not my interpretation but the statement about the DEA was adapetd from the following paper (with citation): http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.327.5902&rep=rep1&type=pdf Moreover, I recommend you have a look at the following scientific references which all explicitly utilize the disputed term "adaptogens" in the title. I do not claim that all articles meet the highest scientific standards but then one can ask the question about the fallibility of science and the probabilistic nature of its statistical methods. Moreover, one should not be biased towards "western" mainstream journals. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332217326240 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128021477000164 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0944711308002250 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2222180812602072 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874106004223 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874106004223 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780123964540000345 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0944711311800255

I ask again: please unblock me. "Potential" misinterpretation of resources should not constitute a reason for an infinite ban... Many thanks! Anonymous.psy (talk) 11:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Anonymous.psy

P.S. And please compare the German wikipedia page on the topic "adaptogens". It is much more substantial and unbiased than the English version: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptogen

I do not understand why you decline my request. I am not a sock puppet. This should be obvious and I do not carry the burden of proof. Moreover, I am in no relation whatsoever with Alexander Panossian. I came across his article by coincidence. It is well written and definitely meets scientific standards. He cites a lot of experimental/empirical data which has been published in scientific journals with high impact factors (have a look at the references section, it's quite intertesting). I agree that the term "adaptogens" might be a somewhat "fuzzy concept". However, have a look at the associated German Wikipedia page on adaptogens - it is much more detailed and less biased: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptogen However, this is all besides the point. The reason why I have been blocked is based on the assumption that I'm a sock puppet. This is clearly not the case. Therefore, please remove the block asap. Then we can have a informed discussion about the underlying science (e.g., BDNF, Neurogenesis, Synaptogenesis, ect. pp.). My intentions are good and I have not done anything wrong! Many thanks for you time. I wish you a nice day. Anonymous.psy (talk) 10:53, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Anonymous.psy

I'm not a WP:DUCK! unblock please


 * I choose not to make a determination on your block, because I wish to comment on your sources, and doing both would lay me open to a charge of involvement.
 * I have read all of the sources to which you refer, noting as I do that that are all from the same common source and to some extent demonstrate common authorship: to label them as being sound scientific sources does little more than to clarify that the opinion you hold regarding the validity of scientific sources does not accord with the opinion held by the large majority of reputable authorities in the field. Ignoring the fact that one reference is quoted twice in identical form, these references vary between been straightforward commercial advertisements for herbal products and presentations written in what I can only assume is intentionally almost impenetrable jargon. I agree that these articles use the word "adaptogen"; this does confer any validity to the concept, which is dismissed uniformly as non-meaningful by a large number of qualified and expert sources. As of course you know. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 14:18, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

When you say that the concept Adaptogen "is dismissed uniformly as non-meaningful by a large number of qualified and expert sources" you need to provide evidence for your strong claim. Here is empirical evidence which falsifies your "uniformity-claim". The following publications all utilise the term Adaptogen (independent from their quality and results):
