Thanks for it, Kevin.To my...Intresting development. Thanks for it, Kevin.<BR/><BR/>To my mind, though. WiserWiki will have the same limitations common to most other medical/health websites.<BR/><BR/>By privileging the dominant biomedical model (which itself doesn't play well in the commons), the wiki will lack critical outside perspectives on that model, as well as important ideas from other--not necessarily competing--health & healing models.<BR/><BR/>With modern biomedicine in big trouble from many sides (e.g., rampant iatrogenesis, out-of-control costs, fraud in medical research & reporting, problems treating chronic disease, little incentive to focus on disease prevention), I wonder if WiserWiki can offer health-seekers much of a true network.Peghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14161350241459517207noreply@blogger.com
