Issues to be mediated

 * The party filing this request uses this section to list the issues for mediation. Other parties can list additional issues in the section below.


 * The dispute concerns a statement found in the Vaccine Overload section. Essentially, it states that "the idea [of vaccine overload] is flawed, for several reasons". My contention is that the wording is not neutral and reflects an unfair bias, as the disputed hypothesis arises naturally from the principles of drug interaction, and thus does not warrant the same treatment as fringe theories. I have suggested numerous alternatives, such as simply replacing the word "is" with "has been found to be", "has been proven to be", as well as many others, but all have been summarily rejected.

Additional issues to be mediated

 * Other parties can use this section to list any others issues they wish to include in the mediation. Please do not modify or remove any other party's listing. Please sign all additions to this section if there are more than two parties involved in this case.
