Health Care Reality Check - an
excellent review of pseudoscience and quackery. I like everything
I've seen on it except the multiple condemnations of chiropractic
care, which I believe are unfounded and probably not scientifically
valid. Numerous reviews of vitamins, supplements, and unproven, dangerous,
or ineffective "alternative" methods are listed. NOTE: this
site, from what I have seen, does not condemn the appropriate, integrative,
and holistic practices of well-proven functional medicine.
