The North American Health Freedom Movement is nobody to mess with…
It’s tough being a quackbuster these days. They get no respect. Why should they?
The North American public has identified the true intent of the stumbling, bumbling mini-cult that years ago, pompously paraded itself across North America as “The Quackbusters.” Now, most places, they’re a joke. And, they don’t seem to like that…

Let’s talk about my friend, and health activist, Ed McCabe… A man with answers.
Every day we read articles about how bad the health care system is in the United States. Those articles are all frighteningly true. It’s an American scandal. Things are so bad, Americans are learning to take care of themselves rather than risk seeing a doctor, or going to a hospital.

A large slice of the United States population relies on Medicare, and medical insurance, to provide them with health care.. That’s a problem – a big one… Because, if you’re unfortunate enough to have to rely on Medicare – you’re relying on practices and procedures FIFTEEN YEARS OUT OF DATE. In the case of Medical Insurance – probably TEN YEARS OUT OF DATE.
Who wants that?

This story is a belly laugh – unless, of course you’re a quackbuster… Then, maybe it’s not so funny.

December 12th, 2003 was the day when a Rancho Cucamonga, California, jury of twelve delivered their verdict in a trial called Hendricksen vs. Metabolife. The Judge was Jeffrey King, who was conducting his last trial before he was appointed to the California Appeals Court bench.
The trial had taken six weeks – 30 full days of trial. In the end, it was no contest. The jury voted in favor of the defendant, Metabolife.
On the plaintiff’s side was the quackbuster’s favorite attorney Christopher Grell from Oakland, California. On the defendant’s side were competent, thoughtful, attorneys with social conscience, who cared about their clients and the people of California.

I’ve got the BIGGEST story in North American Health Freedom, EVER. Here it is.
The conventional medicine stranglehold on health care has been broken – period. It was done in Health & Human Services Director Tommy Thompson’s office on January 16th, 2003 when Thompson SIGNED the approvals to use a new billing code system called ABC Codes in HIPAA transactions.
I told you the Bush administration was on the side of “health” before. Some of you doubted. Here’s another example…

Times are a-changin’ in the US Health community. Who would have believed that the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine would APPLAUD an Alternative Cancer Therapy, and in the same article, BLAST chemotherapy, as worthless.

The whole premise of the “quackbuster” movement has been destroyed by the Bush Administration. It’s over for Stephen Barrett and company.
Below is a press release from our friend in Washington, attorney and health activist, Jonathan Emord. It is self-explanatory. The decision described is far reaching. It means, simply, that in the war between Health and Medicine in the US, the Bush Administration has sided with “Health.”

Self-styled quackbuster, and anti-health manipulator, Victor Herbert died of Cancer November 19th, 2002. Herbert, described by many in the Health Freedom Movement as “a raving maniac” hasn’t been seen much in the last few years. Herbert had obtained notoriety among the quackbuster rank and file for his literal SCREAMING attacks, in public, against anything, and anybody, engaged in Alternative Medicine.

Quackbuster propagandist, failed MD Stephen Barrett, lost his very first court case suing one of his critics in US Federal court last week. It was a belly laugh. Barrett, who sues easily those disagreeing with his opinions vouchsafed on his ludicrous website www.quackwatch.com, has never had to, actually, go to trial before. Finally, when he did, he got literally thrashed. This was the case where the tire met the road.

It wasn’t that long ago that top Quackbusters (quackpots) Stephen Barrett and Bobbie Baratz used the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) to sue fifteen Homeopathic product manufacturers, in California, absurdly claiming that “since Homeopathy has never been scientifically proven, it was health fraud.” The quackpot presentation, in those lawsuits, was so poor, their arguments so asinine, it left Los Angeles Superior Court Judges almost rolling on the floor with laughter.

Today, September 24, 2002, is a very important date in Health Freedom History. For today, California Governor Gray Davis signed into law the most important Health Freedom bill in world history – California SB 577.
The paragraph below contains PART of the language in the bill. For Californians, section (c), below makes health care “wide open.” Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Nutritionists, etc., are now free to offer services, without harassment. To read the whole bill go here.

Sometimes the “quackpot menace” just makes me laugh. I can’t help it.
I realize that, in general, there cannot be, anything really “funny” about the EVIL these people represent. But, sometimes, some of their leadership does something so stupid, so mindlessly inept, I just have to take time out for a belly-laugh. Canada’s excuse for a “quackbuster,” Ontario’s primo pimple doctor, Terry Polevoy, gets today’s hoot.
I’ll tell you why in a minute…

On May 1, 2002, the California Legislature, angered at poor performance described by consumers, ordered an “Enforcement Monitor” on the operation of the Medical Board of California. An independent contractor, hired specifically for this task, will report to higher-ups in the Department of Consumer Affairs.
The 18 appointed members of the Medical Board of California (MBC) were called into an emergency meeting Wednesday, April 24, 2002 in San Diego and asked to answer 115 questions about their “board operation” before the May 1, 2002 meeting of the State of California combined-legislative “Sunset Review” committee.

The “Quackbusters,” a sham, and scam, organization held together for the express purpose of denying real health care to Americans, has been hit VERY HARD once again. This time, again, in California.
This time, the “defense” in a court case set it up so there was an immediate, and severe, penalty attached to the “Quackbuster” attack against their client(s). I see financial ruin of the top “Quackbusters” on the horizon. I’m very pleased.

Health Freedom activists are once again joining forces with State Legislators to solve a problem. This time it’s the Medical Board of California (MBC). California is the fifth largest stand-alone economy in the world. We here, want first rate health care – and we want it right now – and we’ll do what it takes to get it.

In California, there is a formula you can use to compute the IQ of a Medical Board Investigator. Take their sleeve length, add it to their neck size – then, deduct one point for every bullet they carry on their person. They say that in Southern California, there is one woman Investigator who has a calculated IQ of -34. Her 9mm Berretta has a fifteen shot clip – and she has four more loaded clips in her purse. I guess the idea is that if she should come upon some MD giving out vitamins, or nutritional advice to a family, she can deal with the situation right away… Continue reading The Medical Board of California (MBC) is in BIG trouble…
April 13th, 2002
A large segment of California’s general public woke up last Sunday morning to find that their very own Medical Board of California (MBC) seemed to be “suddenly” under investigation by both houses of the State Legislature, and the Governor’s office, with the intention of forcing them to clean up their act.
The Orange County Register, California’s third largest newspaper, on that date, began the first of a series, dedicated to exposing the sheer corruption, the rank incompetence, and the bumbling pompous-ass-ity of the Medical Board of California (MBC).
Opinion by consumer advocate Tim Bolen
The truth is, there was no “suddenly.” Elements of the Health Freedom Movement have been working on this problem, literally, for years. It just, finally, came together. The Register is only documenting our concerns – and they’ve ONLY BEGUN to do that – as we, in the Health Freedom Movement, have only just begun to unfold the problem, and present it for solution. To read the Register articles (there are now ten articles), go to www.ocregister.com and press the “search” button. In the title bar, type in the words “medical board.” Continue reading Helicopter Gunships are Inappropriate at a Medical Board Meeting…
I’ve always said that members of the North American Health Freedom Movement are the kind of people who are welcome in my living room anytime. I’ve never met a better class of warm, caring, sensitive, socially conscious, socially responsible, and CAPABLE humans anywhere, than in the Health Freedom Movement. In the movement, and in its people, I see the essence of America – the values instilled in us in youth – those handed down from our forefathers.
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
I meet others in the movement, usually in hallways, at events or confrontations. Often, I simply recognize a voice I’ve spoken to on the telephone. So, I simply walk up and ask “Are you, by any chance (so-and-so)?” Then it’s smiles, and “introductions” all around – and lunch or dinner scheduled right-on-the-spot. Imagine the restaurant’s response to “a table for 43 please?” Continue reading Health Freedom: The shift to “offense”…
When Stephen Barrett blew it in California, and humiliated the entire “quackbuster” conspiracy, over the homeopathic case, it looked as if Bobbie Baratz was moving into the number one quackpot spot.
But then, Bobbie was called to the test, himself – in Florida. And, Bobbie didn’t test well. You can read about Bobbie’s “test” by going to www.savedrclark.org, and clicking on the box that says “Those Opinion Pieces.” Look for the article called “Florida Dental Board Backs Down…”
Poor Bobbie – and he was so-o-o-o-o confident. He blew it badly, in Florida – and got the “quackbusters” laughed at all over again.

I love it when a plan comes together…
The people of the State of Florida, WERE in imminent danger, until yesterday, January 18, 2001. Not from a terrorist attack, not from a hurricane, but from a source few would suspect – their friendly, neighborhood dentist. And that dentist – held hostage – was going to be forced to cooperate, in what some Health Freedom activists characterize as “the forcing of a known deadly toxin into our bodies”

Everyone in the world knows that MERCURY is a deadly poison, and wreaks havoc with the human body.

The quackbusters are on the run. The smell of fear is in the air. Quackpot leaders are in hiding – avoiding subpoenas. And there is no way out for them.
In a laughable assault in California, top quackpots Bobbie Baratz and Stephen Barrett, attacked about thirty-nine internet health providers in a California Superior Court, activating what is called “the private Attorney General Law.”
Opinion by consumer advocate Tim Bolen
Among other LUDICROUS claims, the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) had defined the entire health discipline of “homeopathy” as health fraud, because, as they stated, “it has never been scientifically proven.” In the very first court case, the NCAHF claim was thrown out of court with the declaration of a “Non-Suit” by the Judge – the reason given by the Judge – was that the NCAHF has little credibility. The Judge’s decision is online, and can be found by going to www.savedrclark.org and clicking on “California Judge Lambastes Quackpots.” It will take you to the Judge’s actual words.
