As others said; flagging is a user-based process. This site has a fickle audience, and stuff like medicine and health science is tough to disseminate. > If I had a bad idea, it can be easily disputed In a discussion. By engineers? The focus of this site is two things; finance and technology. Health is important to all of us, but nearly none of us are qualified to comment on your findings, even if you were a doctor. I wish we all had doctorates; we'd probably get paid better, for one. But the best any of us can do is guess, unless you get lucky and find someone directly qualified to respond to it. You're all good here, though. Nobody is mad at you for trying something, and most people will probably greatly respect your dedication to research. It's just a tough topic here, and really anywhere online. I recommend talking this over with your doctor friends, and if it goes anywhere, your name should get first-billing on the acknowledgement page. Good luck =)

“By engineers?” First, why not? I was an engineer. There’s not much difference between the engineering I used to do and engineering as a way to understand human metabolism. I submitted two other articles one with 127 up votes and they were not about engineering. They were about nutrition, and one of them was about magnesium and addiction. So basically everyone that made comments underneath those post should be flagging each other or all the engineers should come out and flag all those people. So I really know what this is about and it’s about people having a hard time with creative intelligence. And you keep mentioning about talking about over my doctors friends. I don’t talk to Drs about this because they are some of the worst people to talk to. I talk About it with researchers. There are plenty of journalist that write books about health, you could look at me as a journalist. This guy wrote a whole book about depression and why Prozac doesn’t work and he wasn’t close to a psychiatrist or doctor or even a medical researcher. Hacker news is not just about engineering. But as I said, I can read the room.
