Dingle case
Regarding sources, it appears that the Moss Reports were mentioned in the coroner's inquest into the death of Penelope Dingle, an Australian woman who died of rectal cancer after declining potentially curative medical therapy in favor of alternative approaches: "Dr Dingle [the deceased patient's husband] placed considerable reliance on what was described as the “Moss Report” at the inquest. It appears that the author, Ralph Moss PhD, has available on the internet access to a number of sites dealing with various medical conditions, the relevant one being 'the Moss Reports Rectum'. This report had been downloaded by Dr Dingle at considerable cost and was repeatedly referred to by him in his evidence. This report was reviewed by Dr Guy Van Hazel, Clinical Professor School of Medicine and Pharmacology, University of Western Australia, who expressed the view that much of the report was, “Basically a – what seems to be an advertisement for alternative medicine”. Professor Van Hazel went on to state that the report was both unreliable and out of date as well as being full of factual errors. (, pp. 73–74)" I'm not sure whether this is suitable for the article, as it's a bit tangential and arguably a primary source, but given the profound lack of reliable, independent third-party sources in this article I thought I'd raise the question here.
