The AMSA website ranks pretty high:
This web site is using lots of alternative medicine terms. It is full of scientific jargon that is out of place and probably doesn’t know the meaning of any of the terms. It shows no sceptical awareness and so should be treated with a suspicious mind.

The AMSA site may well be promoting quackery, but the original post offers no detail and bandies about accusations without providing a single example or link to an offending article.
I’m all for exposing quackery but I’d say the “Quackometer” needs to live up to the high standards it sets for others by backing up its accusations with some details not just vague accusations–vague accusations against the medical industry generally being one of the signs of quackery.
