Existuje snad jen jeden specializovaný časopis věnovaný kritické analýze metod alternativní medicíny, „Review of alternative medicíne“, a jediná stálá kritická webová stránka, věnovaná AM, www.skepdic.com.

...velkého formátu a jeho „detoxikační medicína“ je snůškou nesmyslů. S. Singh a E. Ernst píší v knize o alternativní medicíně „Trick and Treatment. Alternative Medicine on Trial“: Detoxikace, jako metoda alternativní medicíny, je založena na mylných představách o fyziologii, metabolismu, toxikologii aj. Neexistuje žádný důkaz o účinnosti jakékoli detoxikační metody a některé z nich jsou rizikové. Jedin...
