These are a few sources, some RS, and some from the natural health world that mention PPNF. Add to the list, or use them in the article. Long links are to news archive services, some of which are paywalled Ocaasi ^c 11:27, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

George Meinig[edit]

I looked up the section with Georg Meinig as the heading because I wanted information about the particular individual. If I wanted information about some other individual criticizing his work, I would look up that other individual's name, and expect to find THAT individual's name as the header of the section.

This article CLEARLY needs some cleaning up with respect to giving an UN-biased section of information on George Meinig.

PATHETIC.

quackwatch.org[edit]

Whoever decided to allow references from the website Quackwatch.org should be aware of the defamation lawsuits that have been decided AGAINST Stephen Barrett and his organization's attempts at misinformation... one more lawsuit, and Wikipedia could find itself on the "wrong" side of a court decision regarding the very information being referenced here.

Journal of Health and Healing[edit]

I just made an edit to the Publications and education section and I accidentally left out an important part of the explanation from my edit summary.... It used to say that PPNF has published the Journal of Health and Healing since 1969, but I removed the year, because I was unable to find a single reliable source supporting any start date for the publication. I also accidentally marked it as a minor edit. I guess I was on autopilot after having fixed a couple of broken links. My apologies! Permstrump (talk) 07:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

I just fixed some broken links in the citations, but all of the ones I fixed were to ppnf.org and really need to be replaced reliable, non-primary sources. Besides being a primary source, ppnf.org is self-published, aka WP:NRS. I went ahead and fixed the links anyway though, because I figured working links were better than broken ones/nothing...
