[edit] Whiplash

Hi,

I deleted the sections and links for a couple reasons:

links
  • WP:EL prohibits the addition of wiki-style pages as external links; see here, point 13. That the page is written by lay people and sufferers rather than doctors makes it less likely to remain as a link.
information/sections
  • The information provided cited no sources at all, and used wording like 'you', 'we', 'my' which is not in keeping with WP:TONE and makes it sound like advocacy rather than reporting. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, it reports verifiable information using reliable sources. The gold standard is peer-reviewed journal articles, and doctors opinions, if sourced, are pretty good too. Arguing with doctor's, downplaying their opinion and/or bashing conventional medicine raises red flags that the section in question is a fringe theory that is not acceptable for wikipedia.

The section title of "How can an injury at the passage from neck to head be determined then?" didn't help either, wikipedia is not a how to manual.

As a final point, the english in the sections isn't particularly good, it's pretty hard to determine what the sections are trying to say.

I'd suggest if you want the information to remain in the main page, you should bring it up on the talk page or compose on a sub page where people can see the work in progress and comment or suggest changes.

Thanks,
