I find it surprisingly easy to defeat Barrett and his minions. It’s almost like they lead themselves into the slaughterhouse. And there I stand with an axe… Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen http://bolenreport.com/index.php/who-is-tim-bolen/ On July 14th, 2010, a little over a week ago the California Supreme Court, with virtually no effort on my part, stomped […]

Quackpots in a Tizzy Over Barrett Getting Sued…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen A friend of mine sent me a link to a blog calling itself “Respectful Insolence,” run by the guy I thought was going to be Barrett’s replacement “Orac the Nipple Ripper.” Ok, the guy doesn’t actually call himself “Orac the Nipple Ripper.” I call him that. He calls himself […]
Barrett Has Four Days Left – Then He Goes to Default…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen I just checked my “Pacer” (Federal Court information system) file, and Barrett has not yet brought in a lawyer, and filed a response to the Doctor’s Data lawsuit against him. Could it be this easy? Could it be that rancid old Stephen Barrett, when push comes to shove, […]
I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning…
I’ve got a copy of the Doctor’s Data v Barrett Federal lawsuit attached to this article. Be careful when you handle it – it’s HOT… Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen I was kind of mad at Darryl Hickok, the head of Doctor’s Data laboratory a few months ago, for not walking out and legally […]
Doctor’s Data Laboratory Files Federal Lawsuit Against Barrett, Quackwatch, NCAHF, Consumer Health Digest..
Stephen Barrett, who has no income of his own, he claims, had to go to his wife Judith the other day, I think, and say“Honey, I need an increase in my allowance this month. I’m getting sued in Fed Court in Chicago now, and I’m going to need $250,000 this month as a retainer, and […]
More Reasons Why Stephen Barrett was Afraid to Go To Trial in the San Diego Federal Court…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen I have received a lot of amusing comments about the “Barrett Settlement” stories I’ve been telling. Apparently there a a lot of people out in the world who, you might say, have an interest in Stephen Barrett’s troubles. (Insert your own pointed comment here). But, had I wrote […]
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. […]
Stephen Barrett Rip-Thrashed Once (Twice?) Again..
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen I fully expected a battle royal in a San Diego Federal Courtroom this week with Stephen Barrett. Barrett had sued Hulda Clark and Carlos Negrete, making some sort of claim or another (I find it hard to tell what Barrett’s lawsuits are actually claiming). I was a major […]
Truehope “Raids” Health Canada…
Yesterday, a Canadian company Truehope, the makers of EMPowerplus, the first supplement product in North America to be protected against attack by a government agency by the Court System, started their second round of assault against Health Canada.

Barrett Lawsuit Against Tim Bolen Dies of Old Age(?) in California Court…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen I’ve always said that “quackbuster” Stephen Barrett, as a man, just wasn’t much. Recently he proved my point – in spades. How? On November 3rd, of the year 2000, this rancid old fart, and a couple of his equally stunted cronies, filed a lawsuit against me, and others, sort […]
TWO State Supreme Courts Punch Top Quackpot…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Delicensed MD Stephen Barrett appears to have fled the State of Pennsylvania for North Carolina, just ahead of the official laughter laid on him by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Pennsylvania High Court joins the California Supreme Court in its disdain for Barrett’s legal opinions. Barrett, who among […]
Court Demands Quackbusters Pay $491k – Two Pay, One Doesn’t …
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Way back in the year 2001, when Quackbusters Stephen Barrett, Terry Polevoy, and their attorney Christopher Grell decided to file their cockamamie lawsuit (Barrett v. Clark) in Oakland, CA Superior Court, they brandished it on the internet as their crowning activity. Little did they know, then, that it would […]
Quackbuster Attorney “Suffers the Consequences”…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The US “quackbuster” operation, perhaps one of the slimiest groups on Planet Earth, sank to a new low this last few weeks when they, apparently, abandoned their own attorney, Christopher Grell, leaving him, perhaps, in financial, and professional ruin. Hundreds of pages of Court documents show the depth […]
Anti-Quackwatch “Defamation” Litigation ROARS Forward…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen It’s not easy, these days, being a “quackbuster.” What with the (1) public humiliation surrounding recent High Court decisions (2) rejection by the US Court System of “quackbuster” “expert witnesses,” (3) pointed questioning of “quackbuster” credentials (3) internet, and other successful public challenges, of the quacker’s activities, and much […]
Washington State Supreme Court SMASHES Quackbuster “Plan of ’96″…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The Washington State Supreme Court, in its wisdom, a few days ago (December 14th, 2006), literally, for all time, smashed the New York ad agency run“quackbuster” operation’s effort to use individual State Administrative hearings to destroy innovation in health care in favor of the “drugs, drugs, and more […]
Anger in Indiana – The “Cal Streeter” Story Batters State…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen On May 31st, 2006, in this newsletter, I revealed some details about a project I’ve been working on for a while. In that article, called the “The Cal Streeter Story…” I talked about “one of the most important cases in US healthcare, an assault, and a turning point…” […]

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Late Friday, January 27th, 2006, 10th District Federal Court Judge Marcia Krieger handed struggling Aetna Insurance, perhaps the biggest legal loss in Aetna’s history.

Canadian “Health Freedom” Wins a BIG ONE…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The Canadian “Health Freedom” movement spells the word “AGGRESSIVE” in all capital letters. A few years ago concerned citizens from all across Canada gathered together and decided, like Californians, that they wanted “the best health care they could get – and they wanted it RIGHT NOW…” What they […]
