HON Violators
Stephen Barrett, M.D.

The Internet's most widely recognized standard-setting organization is the
Geneva-based Health on the Net (HON) Foundation. Sites that follow its code of
conduct are welcome to display a HONcode seal. The HONcode principles evolved
from discussions with Webmasters and medical professionals in several
countries. These principles are sound, but compliance is voluntary and some
sites displaying the seal contain unreliable information or link to other sites
that contain unreliable information. To legitimately use the seal, a Web site
must apply for registration. If accepted, it must subsequently comply with
eight principles enumerated in the HONcode. To check whether a site is actually
registered, click on the HONcode seal, which should be linked to a registration
status report on the HON site.

When a noncompliant site is reported, HONcode officials ask that the problem be
corrected or the seal be removed -- and most sites comply. The HON Foundation
also reviews Web sites and posts the results. However, its reviews of sites
providing unreliable information on "alternative" methods have been descriptive
rather than critical-and thus offer little or no guidance to Web browsers. In
addition, its search engine does not limit its searches to reliable sites.

HON asks members of the Net community who consider a Website displaying the
HONcode logo to be violating any of its principles to notify the
Webmaster/owner of that site by email with a copy to honcode@xxxxxxx (If you
see any, please also notify Quackwatch.) The principles most related to
information quality are:

* Principle 4: Attribution. Where appropriate, information contained on
this site will be supported by clear references to source data and, where
possible, have specific HTML links to that data.
* Principle 5: Justifiability. Any claims relating to the
benefits/performance of a specific treatment, commercial product, or service
will be supported by appropriate, balanced evidence in the manner outlined in
Principle 4.

HON states that if a violation is reported, the Health On the Net Foundation
will ask the site owner to either justify its contents or make appropriate
modifications. HON also states if requested modifications are not made, the
site owner will be instructed to remove the logo and that failure to do so will
result in "appropriate action." Most sites receiving such notices comply with
them. Sites that display the HONcode can be located by placing the phrase "we
subscribe to the HONcode principles" into the "exact phrase" box of Google's
Advanced Search page. Violators can be located by scanning the list or adding
common quackery-related terms like "amalgam toxicity," "detoxification," or
"chelation therapy" to Google's "all of the words" box.

Most of the sites listed below have been the object of at least one complaint.
Violative Sites That Display the HONcode Seal

These sites contain misleading information that is not supported by clear
references to valid source data. In many cases, they do not reference
statements, but even if they did, they would still violate Principles 4 and 5
because they advocate or promote invalid concepts. Although most of these sites
contain accurate information about science-based methods, their information on
"alternative" and "complementary" methods is overly promotional. The bracketed
date is the last time I checked the site.


Violators No Longer Displaying the Seal

These are sites that removed their HONcode seal after someone complained about
violative material. in some cases, HON ordered its seal removed. In others, the
site removed the seal after it received the complaint and presumably realized
that it could not meet the standards.

The treatment plan you're selling on your web page has been deemed quack by
quackwatch and by others here

This is directly from the NHF's website
" One of our main objectives is to popularize the use of Foundations. We want
to make foundations accessible to everyone, regardless of income level. A
Foundation at NHF is inexpensive to start (only $285 application fee) and
inexpensive to operate. NHF does all the ?administrivia? for you, including
receiving all donations, writing checks and making disbursements from your
foundation, sending charitable receipts for donations to your foundation, all
accounting, state and federal compliance and reporting."
If that was the case, clicking on donation on your website, should take one
over to the NHF's website but it does not.

So there's no reason for you to have a donation form on your webpage but you
do.

This is the address on your webpage
The Elka Best Foundation
7229 Plaza de la Costa,
Carlsbad CA 92009
U.S.

Some addresses like that are a mail drop location (box number)
I think someone reading this, who lives in the US and perhaps more specifically
California should contact your State's attorney offices and have them check you
out. http://caag.state.ca.us/

Ditto for any other website selling this same "quack cure" (and there's quite a
few) and who has a donation form on their web page. Check the website for
location, find the attorney general for that state and contact them about it,
along with contacting Quackwatch please to other readers. Do not reveal here
who you are and what you are going to do. You can do it privately and
confidentially.
