We've created this online Science & Logic journal for a specific purpose: To provide a forum where all us can discuss—without censorship—scientific and logical issues within several overlapping fields: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, and medical research in general.

We emphasize that we'll discuss issues without censorship for a specific reason: to provide a much need alternative to the widespread censorship in the field of medical research. Those who control the various fields of medical research, such as fibromyalgia, tightly maintain a good ol' boy system. Within that system, these individuals collectively censor ideas and research results that come from others outside the good ol' boy system. In the 20th century, this censoring system of medical politics exerted stringent control over the minds of the public, doctors, researchers, and legislators.

The Internet has freed most people from this good ol' boy system. This makes the Internet a monumental and exemplary tool of democracy. In our Science & Logic section, we'll take advantage of the Internet's liberation of free information exchange. In so doing, we'll practice an activity that's abhorrent to members of that good ol' boy system but essential to the advance of scientific knowledge: open dissent and debate of issues that impact health and disease.

We invite and will publish in our Science & Logic journal constructive comments and criticisms of our logical critiques of issues. The only censorship we'll exercise is to decline to publish libelous content in communications we receive. This limited form of censorship, of course, isn't a suppression of viewpoints we disagree with but a matter of legality and civility toward others.

Open critiques of scientific issues in the Science & Logic journal of drlowe.com—unfettered by medical politics—will in part fulfill the obligation of the Fibromyalgia Research Foundation to provide educational information for the public and health care professionals.
