Hi Xinterai, I'm MrOllie. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently made additions to one or more articles without citing a reliable source. Please note that all content and edits on Wikipedia are expected to be verifiable in reliable sources. In articles related to medical topics, the standard for content and sourcing is defined at WP:MEDRS, and in your edit you did not include any references that meet that ideal. Please have a look at MEDRS to learn about the quality standards for medical sourcing. You might also want to take a look at WikiProject Medicine. If you have any questions related to sourcing of medical issues, you can ask at the WikiProject Medicine Talk page. For general questions about sourcing, see Reliable sources.

 * The reliable source is that it's making my scoliosis better and if you did some reading on the goodback.co.uk, the website of Damien Mearns who published the "unreliable" study on positivehealth.com, you'd realise it's making the scoliosis of many other people better too. It seems to be a better alternative to the many things that this Wikipedia page lists and rightfully criticizes for not successfully minimizing the symptoms of scoliosis, or doing so with side effects. And it's using a machine which has been in operation around the world for 25 years, as 4 sources state. It is an established practice. I've suffered from scoliosis for all my life and it is the only thing that has helped me. Due to how far away it is from the mainstream, I only found out about it last year. I don't want others to suffer all their life feeling hopeless because mainstream treatments of scoliosis aren't very good. Read this too: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02jF8Gi4UFv5LPT3h2mA816u29HcwMT7ctQxhMDNT5rcVY9k3gbMk7SvTJT1PECunSl&id=100094741973407 2A00:23C5:643A:1901:CCE2:3C94:EB34:9DA0 (talk) 00:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your explanation, but you have misconstrued the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia only summarizes what is in mainstream sources (medical journals in this topic area). This is not the website to use to get the word out, even for good and worthy causes. MrOllie (talk) 00:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there not a moral dilemma with a website that only abides to mainstream sources? Corruption exists on every level, mainstream and non mainstream. I think it should be Wikipedia's job, as an arbiter of information, to allow both mainstream and non mainstream to coexist, so that the reader can be better informed.
 * Reading the Wikipedia page for scoliosis has left me thoroughly hopeless. Mainstream scoliosis treatments are a lobbyist's paradise. To quote one of the 4 ASMI websites I cited ( https://coppolapt.com/advanced-spinal-mobilization-instrument/ ), "Back pain accounts for over $90 billion a year in healthcare costs in the United States alone! With the introduction of the Advanced Spinal Mobilization Instrument (ASMI), there is a safe, efficacious, drug-free, surgery-free, non-invasive, and conservative alternative to treat the millions of back pain sufferers".
 * You can see why the mainstream treatments don't work, right? The studies are embezzled by lobbyists. ASMI has been around for 25 years without being able to see the mainstream because it simply makes more sense from a monetary standpoint to not eradicate surgery and drugs in favour of it. This is probably why there are no "reliable" studies by your criteria for the ASMI in regards to scoliosis. Anyone profiting from surgery, drugs etc would just shut them down. The ASMI treatment for scoliosis is far less lucrative and far more strenuous on the person administering it to the patient than someone who says "take this drug" to their patient. So it makes more sense for both the worker and the boss to not use ASMI. Granted surgery is a huge procedure, but it still doesn't "cure" scoliosis. There are many side effects that leave people resorting to physiotherapy and drugs. You see my point?
 * This Wikipedia page needs to change. It isn't an accurate representation of what scoliosis actually is and how it actually needs to be treated for the benefit of the patient first. It's a list of the ways monetary drives affect sufferers' well-being in regards to scoliosis.
 * The ASMI treats a variety of bodily issues connected to the spine, so while it cures the scoliosis it'll also help many other things. This is the opposite of side effects. It's quite a fascinating phenomenon. I'd love to see rigorous mainstream comprehensive studies into the effects of ASMI on scoliosis and overall bodily health but that will probably never happen for reasons I've explained. So Wikipedia will forever blacklist it.
 * I'd like to hear your personal take on the Advanced Spinal Mobilization Instrument (ASMI), as a Wikipedia moderator and therefore an arbiter of information. Thank you. Xinterai (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You might benefit from a read of Verifiability, not truth. What we do on Wikipedia is summarize the mainstream sources - that's it. I'm afraid we will not be able to include information about this treatment until medical journals publish articles about it. MrOllie (talk) 01:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
