No sufficient biographical documentation is available, not even on his own homepages. There is a BA diploma of New York University dated 1965 (Greek and Eastern History and Religion), and an MA degree of Stanford University dated 1973 where he obtained a PhD (in "Classical Languages and Literature"). But Moss is no physician and therefore has no degree in medicine, no MD. Still he falsely presents himself as a medical doctor on various German language homepages.

Moss claims to have been Assistant Director of Public Affairs of the renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center between 1974 and 1977. This claim, however, is called in question by critics pointing to documents where he is only referred to as a “science writer”.<ref>http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/Reviews/moss.html</ref> Moss describes his job as follows: ''Officially, my job was to write one article per month for the centre’s newsletter, as well as various press releases and the research section of the annual report. [...] I was science writer in the Department of Public Affairs, responsible for reporting new advances in research and treatment to the general public. My greatest achievement was in writing the first description for the lay public on the discovery of tumor necrosis factor in 1975''. He was dismissed from the MSKCC for “failing to properly discharge his most basic job responsibilities.”<ref>"NIH OAM Director Resigns. Herbert Calls For Investigation Of Appointees," NCAHF Newsletter 1994 17 5 [http://www.ncahf.org/nl/1994/9-10.html]</ref> The true reason of his dismissal became apparent when Moss participated at a press conference of amygdaline adherents and accused his employer of suppressing studies advocating the use of [[Amygdaline]] (Laetrile).<ref>http://www.usnews.com/usnews/culture/articles/950717/archive_032434.htm</ref> As a matter of fact MSKCC studies had disputed any effectiveness whatsoever of Amygdaline.
