This may sound a bit controversial, but I think curezone is missing a forum. Something along the lines of rational/scientific enquiry etc. How about calling it "Just the facts ..."? Someimes statements are made on the other forums which are totally false. They are verifiably false if one has a little bit of scientific knowledge which (and I hope I'm not being patronizing in saying this) the lay-public may lack. Thats why people can make such claims which go unchallenged and are therefore believed.

There is a difference between keeping an open mind (in things which you don't fully understand) and speaking up when something false is said.

Some of the statements I've read are:

1. The human body doesn't need protein (not true).
2. Heavy metals (e.g. mercury) in organic form are safe (not true).
3. Flax oil is a goitrogen (not true - Soy is).

It would be nice to explore such issues on a seperate forum where through rational debate such statements could be challenged and debunked if necessary. This would make the issues themselves and how to seperate fact from fiction the main concern, rather than someones personal reputation.

I know it is a controversial suggestion. But I'm making it in the hope that someone controversial is in charge. ;-)
