2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Copied from Wikipedia[edit]

This appears to be an unattributed copy/paste of the Wikipedia article (at that moment of time). (In other words, a copyright or at least license violation.)--ZooGuard (talk) 12:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Ideally it should be rewritten to resemble the WP article as little as possible. If not, attribution should be given as per the CC licence. ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 12:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
For now I've redirected it to the cancer industry article, pending a rewrite. WēāŝēīōīďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 13:49, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
This should be a redlink instead.--"Shut up, Brx." 20:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Contents[edit]

What's it made of?--Krejtalk 23:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Various recipes. Quackwatch lists some - David Gerard (talk) 00:15, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Description[edit]

Wouldn't a substance this corrosive technically be a real--brutally inefficient and infeasible, but nonetheless real--treatment for some types of cancer? 207.119.9.207 (talk) 08:58, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Picture[edit]

Yup. It gets the message across.

But... ew. Is there a way to make it an opt-in to view? Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 20:41, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I've NSFW'd it. Scream!! (talk) 21:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
In that case, wouldn't it be better to mark it as potentially disturbing than NSFW? — Unsigned, by: Sophophobe / talk / contribs

Thanks. That treatment, and the new placement, seem appropriate. I never know when kids might peek into the room while I'm reading RW. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 23:08, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
