Talk:Anselm Adodo

Some proposed changes

Alternative Medicine

Documenting Traditional African Medicine

With the successes Adodo recorded in his herbal practice starting in 1996, his first effort to document the medicinal properties of plants and other natural elements with healing properties started in the year 2000 and culminated in 2004 with the publishing of his first book titled, “Nature Power – A Christian Approach to Herbal Medicine”. With this work, he would begin a series of works aimed at documenting natural healing methods. A typical entry in his work would have the common definition for a named illness, it’s cause or likely cause, associated symptoms, medicinal plant, direction for preparation, and direction on how to use the final preparation. Entries could have one or multiple alternative preparations.

Herbarium

In further effort towards documenting herbs and their medicinal properties, Adodo worked with students and professional at Paxherbal and in 2012 commissioned an herbarium with a collection of one thousand plant specimen..

Evidence-Based Medicine

Historically in Nigeria, the use of traditional medicine in the treatment of diseases has been perceived as fetish in its application to healing. Consequently, traditional healers are often seen as witch doctors who apply supernatural or occultism in their traditional medicine practice. Consequently, if they are successful with healing their patients, the success is attributed to superstition or magic rather than the efficacy of the consequent herb or natural remedy. It is with a view correcting this notion that Adodo worked towards introducing science-based research laboratories to the herbal clinic he founded. So in 2006, the laboratories were opened which consist of a quality control, microbiology and research laboratory.This was followed four years in 2010 later by the launch of The Paxherbals Natural Medicine and Pharmaco-Vigilance Center in Lagos state and another in Owerri, Imo State in Nigeria in 2015. The goal of these centers is to serve as "natural hospital" which will provide healthcare through a combined effort of health professional in the field of homeopathy and acupuncture among others. The natural hospital would also enlist the services of medical doctors and pharmacists. Adodo believes this project was the answer to the fetish and superstition that has plagued Traditional African Medicine in Nigeria.

Thanks for your note, and for following the COI guideline. I am just starting to review this. I'll be take the suggestions above into account when I do so, probably over the weekend. Jytdog (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

@Jytdog: Pinging you to see how this is coming along. It's been a while since anything has been updated here. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:28, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

@Mduvekot and Jytdog: Given the pending proposed additions to this article, kindly highlight if any for improvement, content of this article that may make the "POV" and "PEACOCK" tags still relevant. Bujojohn (talk) 07:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't think it's my job to clean up your submissions until we have "collaboratively" removed all traces of promotion and conflict-of-interest and produced an "acceptable" version, but I'll point out that:

• • "With the successes Adodo recorded" is the subject talking about himself
  • "healing properties" is a weasel word
  • Natural healing links to a disambiguation page
  • the link medicinal plant should point to Medicinal plants
  • "worked with students and professional" is a vague weasel language
  • "health professional" is a weasel word, especially when used to refer to practitioners of alternative medicine
  • "enlist the services" is vague an unspecific
  • claiming that homeopathy replaces the superstition that has plagued TAM is, well "Out of the frying pan, into the fire", I suppose.

all the best, Mduvekot (talk) 11:31, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Mduvekot and Jytdog: The notes above was taken into consideration when reviewing my earlier submission. Let's see if the following is good enough.

Alternative Medicine

Traditional African Medicine

Adodo's first effort to document plants and other natural substnaces with medicinal properties started in the year 2000 and culminated in 2004 with the publishing of his first book titled, “Nature Power – A Christian Approach to Herbal Medicine”. With this work, he would begin a series of works aimed at documenting plant and other natural substances with medicinal properties. A typical entry in Nature Power would have the common definition for a named illness, botanical and any known indigenous name, cause or likely cause of a named illness, associated symptoms, recommended remedy, direction for preparation, and direction on how to use the final preparation. Entries could have one or multiple alternative preparations. The therapeutic claims of these documentations require clinical trials under the Nigeria National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.

Herbarium

In further effort towards documenting herbs and their medicinal properties, Adodo is responsible for coordinating the effort of research scientists at Paxherbals towards documenting plant specimen. In 2012, Adodo commissioned an herbarium with a collection of one thousand plant specimen as part of his ..

Evidence-Based Medicine

Historically in Nigeria, the use of Alternative Medicine in treatment of illness or managment of disease has been perceived as fetish even when there is no evidence of occultism. Consequently, traditional healers, Alternative medicine practitioners and herbalists are often seen as witch doctors who apply supernatural or occultism in their traditional medicine practice. If they are successful with healing their patients, the success is attributed to superstition or magic rather than the efficacy of the consequent herb or natural remedy. Adodo worked towards introducing science-based research laboratories to the herbal clinic he founded with a view to demystifying herbalism. So in 2006, the laboratories were opened which consists of a quality control laboratory, a microbiology laboratory and research laboratory.This was followed four years in 2010 later by the launch of The Paxherbals Natural Medicine and Pharmaco-Vigilance Center in Lagos state and another in Owerri, Imo State in Nigeria in 2015. The goal of these centers is to serve as "natural hospital" which will provide healthcare through a combined effort of medical doctors and pharmacists will also include practioners in the field of homeopathy and acupuncture. Adodo believes this project was the answer to the fetish and superstition that has plagued Alternative Medicine in Nigeria.

Evidence-based medicine section is clearly not ok, trying to pass off a source's opinion as facts ("Historically in Nigeria... often seen as ... the success is attributed to..."). Multiple other small concerns with various parts of the proposed text, which contain some promotional words and writing style within the text. Remember, Wikipedia is not a place for advertisement. The edit request would need to be improved before it can be implemented. Regards, VB00 (talk) 16:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Marking as declined for promotional material. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 03:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Bujojohn (talk) 04:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC) @Jd02022092, Jytdog, and VB00: Is there any reason why there is not a feedback for the edit above? It's been a while since this edit was made. Bujojohn (talk) 11:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

I started working this over, and it is shot through with unacceptable content. I need to fix the old stuff before i deal with this. Sorry it is taking a while Jytdog (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Jytdog, this article picked my interest but when I tried to edit the article, my edits were reverted by kuru. However, I have spent the past two weeks researching Anselm Adodo online and also reading up all there is to know about Biographies of a living person. I have some edits I would like to make but I wanted to reach out to you directly and see if you can guide me through what the unacceptable content you want fixed, and I can get at it. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you Projumble (talk) 18:45, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

@Jd02022092, Jytdog, VB00, and Adotchar:The subject of this article has asked me to request a take down of his Wikipedia entry as the flag on top of the page is impacting his reputation negatively. This is against the backdrop of seemingly no activity towards the promised fix by @Jytdog to the page. Kindly advise on the process. Urgent! Bujojohn (talk) 07:12, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. Please note that the article is a collective effort, and cannot be removed just because of someone's wishes. If you wish to pursue the matter further, you could review Articles' reasons for deletion, BLP Deletion and BLP Proposed Deletion policies, and see whether any of the points apply to the article (personally, I believe that none do).

Also, you should read article tagging to learn more about the actual purpose of tags - they are just there to indicate that the article contains certain problems that should be fixed. Lastly, you should know that Wikipedia is voluntary, meaning that everyone contributes as they wish, whenever they wish, and for the time period that they wish to, so Jytdog or any other editor is under no obligations to meet a certain deadline/ continue working on the article, unless that's what they want to do. Regards, VB00 (talk) 10:25, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Is there a reason I've been pinged in this? _{Adotchar| reply here} 13:04, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

@Adotchar: By reverting an edit that an IP (who might or might not be the article's subject, or the paid editor) has made, you've foiled the plan of silently getting rid of the tag on top of the page. Naturally, this might mean that from their perspective, the concerns that they have should be laid upon your shoulders. Regards, VB00 (talk) 16:00, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I have no opinion on this; all I was doing was reverting unexplained removal of tags. _{Adotchar| reply here} 18:23, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

@Jytdog: and all, it's been a while since some changes was proposed. Bujojohn (talk) 09:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
