The reason we've suddenly got this rash of lunatic fringe conspiracy theorists is due to a round of canvassing on Phoenix Rising. --

sciencewatcher, you have not yet answered the question of whether you receive money or any other form of benefit for your work on this article. And neither so far has
Doc James; he says on his user page that he does not receive money for his work on Wikipedia, but there are other non-pecuniary ways to receive benefit. So a clear statement would be appreciated.
And by the way, if you are that naive to think that biopsychosocial notions of disease are all pure and genuine science, and have been oblivious to the fact that biopsychosocial departments in universities have been funded and paid for by the disability insurance industry (details of which I can provide on request) in order to try to make expensive-to-support organic diseases look as if they are partially psychogenic (which as explained earlier saves insurance companies billions), then one wonders whether you should be engaging in such responsible work as Wikipedia Medical editing. Of course the Internet is abound with innumerable crackpot conspiracy theories, and the innumerable halfwits who subscribe to them. However, that's no excuse for naivety about the way corporate agendas can and do manipulate science, as well as influence government policy.
But it's not clear whether you are just a little naive, or whether you know full well how the disability insurance industry are promoting biopsychosocial ideas of disease, because you are receiving payment for such promotion. That's why a clear statement from you and others here regarding whether you receive compensation or other forms of benefit for your work on this article would help clear things up. — Preceding
