[edit] trouble

This article is an awful mess.--Filll 20:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

This article is really a stub on an historical subject. Obviously needs more information. I put the stub marker on it. KSVaughan2 13:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


The information I have found in the references is contradictory. The article does not agree with all the information in the references. It is disjoint and I have found that it is hard to find material on the internet to fill in the gaps, at least so far--Filll 13:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you please be more specific so that the references can be improved? I have changed quite a bit of it and removed the cleanup, but anything you find that would improve it would be useful. It still qualifies as a stub though because it needs more work KSVaughan2 15:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I will hopefully be checking this very carefully and calling in more editors to help in the coming days and weeks. Hopefully eventually we can turn this into a well-referenced, coherent account.--Filll 15:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


What was the eventual fate of eclectic medicine? Did it influence mainstream Western medicine as it is practiced today (without bloodletting or mercury, for example), or was it basically marginalized? Audiosqueegee (talk) 19:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
