VERY interesting. […]

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen – New Orleans area doctor James Carter MD, PhD, author of the famous book “Racketeering in Medicine,” the blatant 1994 expose of the plot to destroy innovation in US health care, called me up one day, several years back, and asked me if I was coming to a certain […]
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 […]
The Six Components of the 2008 Quackbuster Operation…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen 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 […]
Quackbuster Attack on NICO Flops…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen 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.

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 […]

Gerson Documentary Humiliates “Quackbusters”…

Court Orders Quackbusters Barrett and Polevoy to Post $433,715.93 Bond…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen 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 […]
US Supreme Court Upholds “Ongom;” Quackbuster “Plan of ’96” Foiled…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The New York ad agency that actually runs the US “quackbuster” operation has to be, this week, taking extra blood-pressure medication, avoiding telephone calls from angry clients demanding to know why the “Plan of ’96” isn’t going to work as promised, anymore.
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 […]

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Top “quackbuster” Robert S.

Quackbuster Citadel Crumbling – They Face Massive Litigation…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen The conventional healthcare system in the US, rated 72nd in quality but first in cost by the World Health Organization, (WHO) and declared in the authoritative study “Death by Medicine” to be the number one killer of Americans is finally beginning to suffer the consequences of its policies.
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 […]
Quackbusters CRUSHED by California Supreme Court…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen II don’t know how the “quackbusters” can even come out in public any more. Their constant humiliation in the US Court system has got to be incredibly embarrassing. I don’t know how they can withstand the solid stream of laughter from the general public. It’s not just the […]

Why Corretta Scott King went to a Mexican Clinic…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen There is no question that the extremely profitable US cancer industry provides absolutely ZERO hope, for US patients, against cancer.

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 […]
Quackpot Terry Polevoy Sued for Libel in Canada…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen When the New York ad agency, the one the runs the “Quackbuster” operation against innovation in health care in North America opened its email program last month, it was probably chagrined to find that one more self-styled “Quackbuster” was being sued for what many feel they do best […]
