Psoriasis
I have reverted your edit at Psoriasis as an unsubstantiated claim. The relevant policies are to WP:Cite from WP:Reliable sources in order to WP:Verify, but that personal opinion is not allowed as WP:No original research. Wikipedia is not a soap box to carry out debates, but may report on debates/controversies in the real world. All this means, that for alternative approaches, there are two aspects:
 * 1) Is the method used by a significant minority (if not the majority) - wikipedia does not need to include trivial minority opinions under its WP:Neutral point of view policy. This usually is non-contentious and some newspaper report on usage suffices as a source.
 * 2) Does the alternative method actually work ? This type of claim requires a citation from a reliable source, and usually there is little such proof in suitable peer-reviewed journals following double-blind controlled studies (good place to search is on the PubMed database of abstracts from biomedical journals).David Ruben Talk 12:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
