2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JPANDS... why isn't it JA... ohhhhh, formerly Medical Sentinel) is the official journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. As such, you can pretty much expect what they publish to be crap, whether it be the link between vaccinations and autism,[1] the link between abortion and breast cancer,[2] or the link between potatoes and death.[3] They've published material by some notorious cranks including the Geier family. Also, they have some AIDS-dissidents.[4]

The archive can be found in their General Online National Access for Doctors and Surgeons.
