Quackwatch
Quackwatch is a United States-based network of people〔 founded by Stephen Barrett, which aims to "combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct" and to focus on "quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere." Since 1996 it has operated the alternative medicine watchdog website quackwatch.org, which advises the public on unproven or ineffective alternative medicine remedies. The site contains articles and other information criticizing many forms of alternative medicine.〔〔Politzer, M. ''(Eastern Medicine Goes West. )'' The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved on September 14, 2007.〕
Quackwatch cites peer-reviewed journal articles and has received several awards.〔〔 The site has been developed with the assistance from a worldwide network of volunteers and expert advisors.〔 It has received positive recognition and recommendations from mainstream organizations and sources. It has been recognized in the media, which cite quackwatch.org as a practical source for online consumer information. The success of Quackwatch has generated the creation of additional affiliated websites;〔 as of 2013 there were 21 of them.〔 The organization has often been challenged by supporters and practitioners of the various forms of alternative medicine that are criticized on the website.〔〔
== History ==
Barrett founded the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud in 1969, and it was incorporated in the state of Pennsylvania in 1970.〔 In 1996, the corporation began the website quackwatch.org, and the organization itself was renamed ''Quackwatch, Inc.'' in 1997. The Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation was dissolved after Barrett moved to North Carolina in 2008,〔(Pennsylvania Department of State — Corporations )〕 but the network's activities continue.〔 Quackwatch is closely affiliated with the National Council Against Health Fraud.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quackwatch home page )〕
