re: orthomed[edit]

Katherine Kousmine may be a nutritional pioneer in some types and principles of orthomolecular medicine, her nutritional work may precede others, although scientific priority (discovery, use, description, etc) especially in some omniscient international sense is always tricky business. Semantically, she is not "the founder" of orthomolecular medicine. That recognition simply belongs to Mssrs. Pauling and Hoffer who gave name, principle, definition and organization to "orthomolecular" in the 60s and 70s even though current orthomolecular type therapies long preceded the development of orthomolecular medicine as coherent body, at least as early as the 30s in vitamins, and perhaps the turn of the 20th century with various substances as well as studies in metabolism.

Skimming through Google, I don't see Hoffer, Pauling or JOM editor Saul make any direct mention of her. The other concern is that I see her name associated with homeopathic and naturopathic sites and honors, so I have concerns about confusion of her medical and nutritional practices as being (mis)interpreted as canonical to "orthomolecular", too. The Orthomolecular statements about Dr. Kousmine need WP:V WP:RS references where references in English may be problematic.

My preferred approach is this: let's work on her Wikipedia entry here, first.--TheNautilus 01:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been edited in such a way that it makes Catherine Kousmine some kind of a charlatan. Which she has never ever been. Her method did work, for whom wanted to stick to it, and if you, numb nuts, can't even give it a try, you should stop trying to please everything that is mainstream by selling calomnies and false rumors. Shame on you. It's not even balanced. You just scoff at her with some book references that no one has heard of. If you are doctors, I bet you are the kind that tell the patients, once they weigh only 60 pounds, that you tried everything and if they have a better idea, well, they are welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.13.173.99 (talk) 23:24, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can't get blood from a turnip[edit]

Answer to the previous comment. Wikipedia is not known for its objectivity. It belongs to the system. My English is automatic translation, courtesy of Google
