Nothing is 100%, and I don't think I would base a medical decision for me or my family from this type of website. Especially when I can research "valid" sites using Google for example. And, all it will take is one bad entry with one or more bad affects (remember, nothing is 100%) and word will spread like wildfire over the net. Sorry, reading about a hobby or for some periphiral information on a subject is what I depend on a wiki for, but for my health, nope, there are already too many chances taken with "qualified" professionals that might not be up on the latest and greatest. But a wiki, nope. However, I wish Medipedia good luck. This is a scary concept, even with the assurances of review by qualified persons.
