Talk:Pyroluria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/pyroluria.htm Is it kryptopyrrole or hydroxyhemoppyrrolin-2-one?
[edit] NPOV
This articles does not state clearly enough that Hoffer is a proto-orthomolecular, that mainstream medicine does not recognise this condition (see Pubmed:Pyroluria) and that it therefore not seen as an explanation for the symptoms/conditions listed. Pyroles/*urine (MESH) gives a huge amount of results, most of which are bona fide studies looking at forms of porphyria. JFW | T@lk 18:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- What is pyroluria, is it an accepted clinical entity and what are the treatment? --WS 21:22, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

- "Yes", in some orthomolecular, environmental and naturopathic medical circles. Apparently Pfeiffer, Osmond and Abram Hoffer failed to associate too few benefits to any permanent trank deficiency treatment recommendation. (Hoffer & co say to use tranks, etc sparingly and to ween with OM trmt as rapidly as possible). Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and similar, conventionally proscribed medical publications[1] can probably better answer such inquiries. Note: I didn't partake even a pickle from the ~16x~20"deli platter in the student residents' lounge, either (I was invited, by an appropriate official) ;->>--TheNautilus 04:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia editing and formating questions
Q: How do I link all of the footnotes that are refferenced from the "same" hyperlink to the same footnote? I would like to have the footnote listed and then repeat listings cited underneath with "quoting" the text, if possible. Thank you for your help. OnaTutors | T@lk 15:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- A: See Help:Footnotes. The first instance you use <ref name=JackJill>Actual text of reference</ref>. Further instances you use <ref name=JackJill/>. Don't forget the slash (/), which closes the tag in the same instance. See coeliac disease, where this is used extensively to refer to the main reference (VanHeelWest) in 12 instances.

[edit] Ethical Nutrients: Zinc Status
I do not believe this article should be discussing a specific product and linking to the purchasing site. In this case, Ethical Nutrients: Zinc Status. Deepnchilled 16:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed. WP:NOT#SOAPBOX. The text was a verbatim copy from the site it referenced and merely was here to sell the product. Cburnett 17:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Q:Is there another way to inform the public about such a test?
There are many different brands that test for zinc status.
I would like to inform the public of the ease of use of managing zinc status levels
using this simple liquid zinc status test, instead of expensive blood tests.
Thank you for your help. I do not intend to indorse any one particular product over another.
I am simply a satisfied user of Zinc Status and I am very greatful for its easy of use, for this difficult to manage condition.
I appreciate the feedback and any helpful suggestions. OnaTutors | T@lk 23:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
