Attorney Botts MISSING – Barrett’s Legal Life In Hands of Rookie…

It’s laughter time once again in the Doctor’s Data v Barrett Federal court case in Illinois.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Not long ago Stephen Barrett’s legal team (snort here) went to court to get a ten day extension to answer an answer to a Motion.  They said it was necessary to get more time so as to answer Doctor’s Data’s Official Response to their own Motion to Dismiss, claiming that the Response was “so very long.”  They got the ten days.

Stall, Stall, Stall – Stephen Barrett in a Diarrhea Panic?  He Should Be, For the Worst Is Yet To Come…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

It has happened again.  Stephen Barrett, the man who would be the Czar/God of US healthcare can’t make another deadline in the Doctor’s Data v Barrett, et al, Federal Court case, and has whimpered to the Judge that he needs more time (sniff, sniff).

I’m not even mildly surprised. Continue reading Stall, Stall, Stall – Stephen Barrett in a Diarrhea Panic?  He Should Be, For the Worst Is Yet To Come…

I’m Speaking (Sigh) at the Long Beach Health Freedom Expo…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

Blame Clinton Ray Miller.

So, I get this email from Julie Whitman Kline, head person at the Health Freedom Expo, which says, in essence “How about 1:00 PM Friday in 306B?  I need a Lecture Description, a fresh bio, and a current photo…”

Julie is a lot like her Dad, Wendell.  Kind of assertive in a good way.  Pretty too – so nobody says “no.” Continue reading I’m Speaking (Sigh) at the Long Beach Health Freedom Expo…

Health Canada Under Massive Attack by Natural Products Maker…

There is an important Court proceeding coming up this Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 in a Federal Appeals Court in Calgary, Canada.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Health Canada has already circulated two Memorandums that indicate that it knows they are going to lose this battle – and that loss will radically change the way they have to operate.  I’ll show you those memos, near the bottom of this article. Continue reading Health Canada Under Massive Attack by Natural Products Maker…

The 2011 Long Beach Health Freedom Expo…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

Friday, March 18th, 2011 The Health Freedom Expo series is in its seventh year.  It seems like just yesterday that I went to the first one over by the LA Airport.  Wendell Whitman, who I dearly miss, was wandering around by the sign-up booth worrying that not enough people would come.

Did they come?  Oh yes.  The following year the event was moved to the much larger Long Beach Convention Center.  This year, it has moved to an even larger facility yet, still at the Long Beach Convention Center – March 25th, 26th, and 27th, 2011. Continue reading The 2011 Long Beach Health Freedom Expo…

The Plight of the Autism Activists…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

I met with a group of the top people in the Autism Awareness Movement yesterday at a meeting hosted by Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa, California, right across the parking lot from TACA’s Main office.

Mark Blaxill, Lisa Ackerman, Dan Olmstead

The speakers for the meeting were none other than Dan Olmsted and Mark Blaxill, authors of the book“The Age of Autism – Mercury, Medicine, and a Man-Made Epidemic.”  Last night I got a signed copy.I met with a group of the top people in the Autism Awareness Movement yesterday at a meeting hosted by Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa, California, right across the parking lot from TACA’s Main office.

Barrett’s Sweaty Desperation…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

There were two legal filings, recently, in the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case.  The first filing was, as expected, Barrett’s last-ditch attempt to avoid Discovery – a Motion to Dismiss based on two allegations:  (1) that the Plaintiff failed to make a proper claim (snort), and (2) that the lawsuit violated the Illinois Anti-SLAPP law.

The second filing, of course, was the answer to the first. Continue reading Barrett’s Sweaty Desperation…

Top Pseudo-Skeptic, Steven Novella, Humiliated on National TV…  And it was fun to watch…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

Dr. Oz, on one of his shows, had invited one of the top Icons in the self-styled “Skeptic” internet movement, Steven Novella MD, to debate Alternative Medicine.  Oz, literally, made a fool of Novella – or, perhaps, I should say “Oz let Novella show what a fool he actually is…”

I chuckled all the way through the show.  Continue reading Top Pseudo-Skeptic, Steven Novella, Humiliated on National TV…  And it was fun to watch…

Google Shuts Down Quackbuster Discussion Group…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

Google, the owner of the famous search engine, also runs a series of Discussion Groups, called “Google Groups.”  For as long as anyone can remember there has been a Discussion Group called “misc.health.alternative.”  But no longer.  Yesterday, Google shut it down, claiming the group violated Google’s Terms Of Service.”

It was never known who started the group, nor who managed it.  But it was always clear that it was a forum for bashing cutting edge health care, for the most part by posters using a fake name, and more often than not, those posters viciously attacked, using the most offensive language and suggestions of odd sexual preferences. Continue reading Google Shuts Down Quackbuster Discussion Group…

Pissy Pimple-Popper Polevoy Patently Purchased?…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

The California attorney for Canada’s cheap copy of Stephen Barrett, one Terry Polevoy, a Board Certified Pediatrician turned pimple doctor, submitted some papers to the Alameda, CA Superior Court last month indicating that a Conditional Settlement had been reached in the Polevoy v Grell and twenty un-named John Does case.  You can read the original article about this situation here. Continue reading Pissy Pimple-Popper Polevoy Patently Purchased?…

Trine Flops, Barrett Stops – All’s Not Well in Quackpot Hell…

 

Some days it is just way too much fun being an insider in the North American Health Freedom Movement. 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

I get to see stuff happening right before my eyes, long before others become aware of what’s happening.  And, I have to say, there are members of the health movement which have a nasty sense of humor I commend and appreciate.  In this case I use the word “nasty” in a very good way. Continue reading Trine Flops, Barrett Stops – All’s Not Well in Quackpot Hell…

Trine “Two Shoes” Tsouderos – Barrett’s Tokyo Rose…

The Desperation Level in the Quackpot camp has reached an all-time high. 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

The Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case is so devastating to them that they are, without doubt, at a point similar to where the Japanese High Command was when the Americans were designing the attack on their mainland towards the end of Word War II. Continue reading Trine “Two Shoes” Tsouderos – Barrett’s Tokyo Rose…

Barrett’s “Battle of the Bulge”Begins…

Stephen Barrett, et al, filed some paperwork Monday, January 3rd, 2011 in the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case, in essence, demanding that the Court Dismiss the case in its entirety, financially sanction the attorneys for Doctor’s Data, and Formally Declare Stephen Barrett as the “Czar/God of US Health Care…”

I kid you not…

Are Barrett’s Handlers About to Buy Off Terry Polevoy?

The quackbuster operation is having its woes these days.  It seems that everywhere they turn there is another fire to put out.  It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch… 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

This particular fire is going to cost Stephen Barrett‘s handlers over $450,000 US dollars – I’ll explain below.

And, much more is coming their way.  As well it should. Continue reading Are Barrett’s Handlers About to Buy Off Terry Polevoy?

Captain Screwloose (Stephen Barrett) Runs For Cover…

I predicted this would happen months ago in the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

On August 25th, 2010, in an article called “Has Stephen Barrett’s “Puppet Master” Appeared? “ I said:

“So, what do I think will happen now?  Instead of a “legal” Defense, they’re going to use a two part strategy:  Continue reading Captain Screwloose (Stephen Barrett) Runs For Cover…

AAPS  Wallops Texas Medical Board…

Fasten your seat belt.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

Yes, this story about the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) chewing up the Texas Medical Board in a Federal Appeals Court is already all over the internet.  However, not one of the stories tell you what’s going on behind the scenes.  And, that’s where the action is.

Doctor’s Data V Barrett, et al -The NCAHF Board Members are Screwed – REALLY Screwed…

I admit it.  I love telling a good story.  Give me a chance and I’ll drag out the good parts, throwing in laughs here and there. 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

The story, of course, I’m telling today is about the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case, which is, by far, the most important court case involving health care in North America.  Continue reading Doctor’s Data V Barrett, et al -The NCAHF Board Members are Screwed – REALLY Screwed…

The Doctor’s Data v. Barrett, et al, case – a Summary to Date…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

The  Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court is, by far, the most important court case involving health care in North America, for, for the first major time the group that conspires to damage emerging health care systems in favor of the status quo is, itself, under major attack, and will likely be destroyed by this action.  And, it is about time. Continue reading The Doctor’s Data v. Barrett, et al, case – a Summary to Date…

ObamaCare –  The US Health Freedom Movement is Responsible for the Best Changes – But There is Still Much Work to be Done…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

It is common knowledge that few, if any, Americans believe what US network TV tells them about health care.  Most people don’t believe what the big newspapers tell them either.  Americans think that our media is controlled – and it is.  So, Americans, even those involved in conventional, status quo, health care seek real information elsewhere. And, where do they go?  The answer to that question is readily obvious.  They get information about what is really happening from those of us in the North American Health Freedom Movement; websites, newsletters, radio shows, TV shows, conferences, public speaking engagements, legislative efforts, etc.  Continue reading ObamaCare –  The US Health Freedom Movement is Responsible for the Best Changes – But There is Still Much Work to be Done…

The Starfield Revelation, Revisited…

Opinion by Journalist John Rappaport

 

In the summer of the year 2000, it was a bolt out of the blue.  The revelation.  I come back to it for various reasons—this time because I’ve been reading doctors’ attacks on the nutritional industry:  “fraudulent claims, quackery, unproven science, theft.”

You’ve heard all the accusations. Continue reading The Starfield Revelation, Revisited…
