Sourcing

This article presents biomedical information; any such information requires WP:MEDRS sourcing. There is a lot of stuff on this page that just shouldn't be there. Using ref numbers as per 29th June 2018 (permalink), a quick survey of the first few sources shows that...

- Source 2 is a dead link; not MEDRS compliant
- Sources 3 - 5 don't have page numbers, so are difficult to assess
- Source 6, Gruber et al (1975) is a primary study in mice; not MEDRS compliant
- Source 7 - 9 don't direct to the target papers, so are difficult to assess
- Source 10 is a 1908 description of the Battle Creek Sanitarium System, used to describe modern practice - not MEDRS compliant (!) 
- Source 12 is a 1981 book without page numbers - hard to assess, but the title suggests that it is not MEDRS-compliant
- Source 13 is a dead link to a random website - not MEDRS compliant
- Source 14 is a working link to a random website - not MEDRS compliant
- Source 15 is a dead link to a random website - not MEDRS compliant

At that point I stopped looking. The only source out of the first fifteen that wasn't either obviously dodgy or inaccessible was Source 1, giving a dictionary definition of the term - everything I was able to check was either a dead link, or non-MEDRS. All the improperly supported assertions in this article need to be removed; I fear however that if the rest of the article is like to first few paragraphs, we will be left with a stub. Better that than a load of unsupported assertions, but if there are any subject-matter experts watching this page, I would be eager to collaborate to build a better page.Girth Summit (talk) 22:07, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Darwin and the 'Wondrous Water Cure'

I wonder if the following reference to Darwin's experience with hydrotherapy could be added to this article:
