quackwatch still requires judgment
Problem is that you have one person saying this is good and this is bad without showing how they got there. Under MS, I see vitamin D listed. Well, folks, many of us know that Vitamin D isn't a cure, but we also know that Vitamin D is highly supported in the medical literature.

It would be really nice to be able to put links in here
If I have included a bad link, google the word "Scholar", click link for "Google Scholar". Search for the name of the paper and author in Google Scholar.
