Quackwatch, Inc Fails To Respond...
Keep in mind that there are three Defendants in the Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al Federal Court case in Northern Illinois - and all three have to lawyer up and Respond within the Court's required time. Only Stephen Barrett, himself, as an individual, was given 60 days, instead of 21, to formally Respond to a lawsuit. Neither of the other two Defendants, Quackwatch, Inc, nor the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) was given any extra time. They have 21 days from the time of service to hire legal counsel and formally Respond. [full story] |

Will the San Diego Federal Judge Put Stephen Barrett in Jail?
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Oh my, the "Barrett Settlement" story, in San Diego, is getting even better. It seems that now the Federal judge in the case has assigned a Federal Magistrate Judge, Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo "to retain jurisdiction for settlement purposes." Wow - this could could get interesting. VERY interesting. I'll explain. [full story] |

The Six Components of the 2008 Quackbuster Operation... Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Friday, February 22nd, 2008 Do not, for even a second, think that the US "Quackbuster" operation, a plot to stop anyone, and everyone, from changing the broken US health care system, is run, or even maintained, by delicensed MD Stephen Barrett out of his 2421 West Greenleaf Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania address, or his condo at 287 Stoneview, Pittsboro, North Carolina. It would be foolish to assume that this bitter, nasty, old man, who stumbles through life, tripping from one professional [full story] |

Quackbuster Attack on NICO Flops... Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 I've discovered another quackbuster scam - one to destroy a whole group of US Dentists, the head of a major Dental School, a device manufacturer, and a major emerging dental issue - NICO, and, with some very good help, I've begun the process of breaking up the scam. I've helped engineer the destruction of about half of the scam already, and the rest is in the works. We should be finished after a court trial, I'll tell you about shortly, in April. With luck, we'll get the Los Angeles [full story] |

To perpetuate a lie...That is that toxins and toxiods cure disease, is clearly is the reason that
Further to Opinion of the Quackwatch site here is more that demonstrates that "attacking, belittling, satirizing, castigating, vilifying, maligning" is the science of the rich and corrupt! To perpetuate a lie...That is that toxins and toxiods cure disease, is clearly is the reason that "Drug makers spend more on marketing than research: study" like $57 billion +. With figures like that Imagine how much they rack in profits? "The authors say their figure of $57.5 billion US is likely an underestimate, citing other avenues for promotion such as ghostwriting of articles in medical journals [full story] |

Quackbusters' European connection lose in Amsterdam Court
Recent rulings in Amsterdam, Pennsylvania and the Supreme Court of California are heavy blows to the Quackwatch anti-chiropractic and anti-alternative medicine organizations. After years of being labeled a"quack," and defamed and ridiculed professionally, Dr. Maria Sickesz won a great victory in Amsterdam, Holland early June 2007. The Netherlands Appeals Court ordered the "Vereniging tegen de Kwalzalverij" (Association Against Quackery, which is the Dutch version of the so- called "Quackbusters" ) to cease and desist from using the demeaning, subjective and pejorative term "quack."

Court Orders Quackbusters Barrett and Polevoy to Post $433,715.93 Bond...
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Thursday, May 2nd, 2007 The "quackbuster" organization is learning a very HARD lesson about the reality of the US legal system. And, I'm very pleased. They're learning, in the most humiliating, and financially devastating way, that US Courts don't want the system abused to harass those that the "quackbusters" don't like. In the Barrett v. Clark case, today, an order was issued for Plaintiffs Terry Polevoy MD, and Stephen Barrett MD, to come up with a grand total of $433,715.93 in bonds - $264,311.68 for Polevoy alone, and $169,404.25 [full story] |

Barrett Loses Appeal, Leaves Town
Self proclaimed Quackbuster, Stephen Barrett, MD, recently handed crushing defeats by chiropractor Tedd Koren and Ilena Rosenthal, has announced he is leaving his home town and operating base in Allentown, Pennsylvania. On June 11th, 2007, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed a lower court dismissal of Barrett's defamation suite against Dr. Koren. Barrett's case was so lacking in merit the judge blocked it from going to the jury. Barrett simply had no case against Dr. Koren. This followed another stunning defeat last month in California. There an appeals court ordered Barrett [full story] |

"Quackbusters" Crushed in Massachusetts Dental Case
"Quackbusters" Crushed in Massachusetts Dental Case Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The "quackbuster" operation in North America, run out of a New York ad agency, took another broadside last month in Massachusetts when the Massachusetts Dental Board called, not one, but two, "special meetings," both to dismiss, with prejudice, all seven charges against cutting-edge Dentist David Satloff. The attempt to use a State agency in a "fake" prosecution to eliminate "Holistic Dentistry," and/or "Biological Dentistry" failed. Charges had been brought against Satloff by the National Council Against [full story] |

Cough-Medicine Alert Silences The Quackwatchers Julie DeardorffChicago Tribune If you're concerned about sham medicine, look up the countless Internet watchdog groups that promise to protect us from rampant health-care fraud. There's Quackwatch, a skeptical view of virtually everything except pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, and its sister site, Homeowatch, which criticizes homeopathic cures. Acupuncture Watch tells us why inserting tiny needles into the body is a waste of time and money. Chelation Watch warns us about the dangers of removing heavy metals from the system.

California "Sinaiko" Case: The "Quackbuster's" Breaking Point...Monday, April 4th, 2005 For years the "quackbuster" attacks against innovative health practitioners were handled, by health activists, in the "defense" mode. The California "Sinaiko" case was the turning point. The reason: the "quackbusters" had won so many battles, and had caused so many problems for innovative health practitioners since the "Plan of '96" took effect, that they were arrogant beyond belief. That was their downfall. Because of that, they not only lost the Sinaiko case, they lost California - and the tide [full story] |

Big Pharma Tactics on Electro Med etc.
..."They decide who they're going to hit. The advertising agency writes up the stories that are going to be distributed to their "letter writing brigade," the "testifying whores." The letter writers, following the guidelines, then write to the FTC, the FDA, and Operation Cure-All, to set a basis for the complaint. Then the ad agency writes stories, getting quotes from the likes of Barrett, Baratz, etc., on the victim. The stories are sent out to the media in which the advertising agency's drug clients advertise. The stories are printed in the media as though they were true. Once the [full story] |
