Advances: The Journal of Mind-Body Health.Newsweek (particularly its scaremongering criticizing fluoridation).Magazines and Newsletters That Are Excellent Except for Too Many Poorly Reasoned Articles on “Complementary” Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients *.Real Health (William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.).Natural Foods Merchandiser (trade publication) *.Natural Cures Newsletter (Kevin Trudeau) * *.Health Naturally * (ceased publication in 1999).Health Products Business (trade publication, formerly called Health Foods Business) *.Health & Healing (Journal of Complementary Medicine).Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living *.Body, Mind & Spirit * (ceased publication in 1998).Body and Soul * (formerly New Age Journal).Those marked with a double asterisk ( **) have been accompanied by questionable solicitations. The magazines and journals marked with an asterisk ( *) have carried ads for questionable potions, services, books, and/or publications.
I consider these publications untrustworthy because they promote misinformation, espouse unscientific theories, contain unsubstantiated advice, are insufficiently skeptical, and/or fail to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of advice.
