Who are the quackbusters?
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. Continue reading Will the San Diego Federal Judge Put Stephen Barrett in Jail?…

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 health convention where he was going to be.

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 of claiming that I, Tim Bolen, had been hired by world acclaimed author, and health humanitarian, Hulda Regehr Clark PhD to defame him, and that others conspired to help me.
Don’t laugh too long. They actually wrote this nonsense down. Continue reading Barrett Lawsuit Against Tim Bolen Dies of Old Age(?) in California Court…

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 failure to another, is running a cleverly set up plot. He’s just the “front man.” The one they want you to focus on. He’s ill. He’ll die soon, and someone else will take his place as the frontispiece.

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 County District Attorney’s Office involved in the clean-up.

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 NOT be just one more stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, act, typical of their machinations.
In fact, this lawsuit would lead them to laughable internet infamy, drawing the wrath of virtually every internet giant, worldwide, in opposition to their goals. Nor did they deduce, then, that filing a false claim in California, called a SLAPP suit, would gain them the wrath of the California legislature. But it did.

Time is running out for Stephen Barrett (quackwatch.com) and Terry Polevoy (Canada’s low-budget, with garish colors, version of Barrett). They’ve got until about June 3rd, 2007 to come up with $433,715.93 in bonds – $264,311.68 for Polevoy alone, and $169,404.25 from Barrett and Polevoy, and hand them to the Judge in an Alameda County, California Courthouse. Or else. Continue reading Ilena Rosenthal to Seize Quackwatch?

I almost spilled my cup of jasmine tea, I was laughing so hard.
I had just been viewing the first part of a DVD video documentary called “Dying to Have Known,” and I had to stop the thing right there, and rewind, to see if what I had just seen really had happened.
Yup, it did. So I stopped it again, went and got my wife Jan and said “You’ve got to come and watch this.” It’s worth re-playing again and again. Continue reading Gerson Documentary Humiliates “Quackbusters”…
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 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 from Barrett and Polevoy – within thirty days. Barrett runs the questionable website “quackwatch.com.” Polevoy is kind of the Canadian low-budget copy of Barrett, with garish colors.

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.

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 of Grell’s desperation.
This coming Wednesday, April 11th, 2007, at 2:00PM, a hearing will be held in Oakland Superior Court in California to determine Grell’s ability to pay the costs of his, and two“quackbuster” manipulators, delicensed MD Stephen Barrett, and Canadian pimple doctor Terry Polevoy’s failed courtroom assault. Court documents indicate that neither Barrett nor Polevoy, outspoken throughout the case, are willing to pay their share of the Court imposed costs. My estimates show that the trio might have to pay out about $200,000 in legal fees to their victim/Defendant Ilena Rosenthal and her legal team.

Delicensed MD Stephen Barrett, of quackwatch.com infamy, announced to his followers (Barrett’s Parrots) last week that: “During the next few days, my sites will be changing servers. It’s possible that the healthfraud list will be disrupted during the switch.”
Barrett critics are concerned about this situation – for several reasons. The questions are: (1) Is Barrett moving his quackwatch.com, etc., servers out of reach of the US Court System after recent Courtroom losses? (2) Is Barrett moving his quackwatch.com, etc., servers out of reach of the US Court System after the barrage of newly files legal actions naming him, and his, as the Defendants? (3) Is Barrett moving his servers out of US Court Jurisdiction to avoid answering legal demands for “discovery” of information on his websites?

Top “quackbuster” Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS PhD was forcibly removed as a witness in a California case recently after it was pointed out to the State of California that Baratz was a not quite what he claims to be.

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 drugs” medical monopoly. The sleazy “Plan of ’96” has been thwarted.
Cutting-edge health professionals around the US can breathe a sigh of relief, for the method of attack derived from the filth-encrusted “Plan of ’96” has been declared to be unacceptable by the High Court. And, State Supreme Court decisions carry weight in every area of the US. Continue reading Washington State Supreme Court SMASHES Quackbuster “Plan of ’96″…

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 losses in Court (and they are legion), it’s how badly they lose, and the criticism they draw on themselves by the participants in the Court system. They just don’t seem to learn.

Delicensed MD Stephen Barrett, author of the questionable website “quackwatch.com,” lost another Court case this last month. Barrett is on a long Courtroom losing streak.
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
Barrett’s bigoted comments about cutting-edge health care offerings have caused concerns among health industry leaders for years – and now those leaders are reacting.. Barrett has been embroiled in, seemingly, one Court action after another. Those court actions included two separate actions where he was named as a participant in Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) charges.

There is no question that the extremely profitable US cancer industry provides absolutely ZERO hope, for US patients, against cancer. I don’t think there is anybody in the US that believes the absolute drivel promoted by the American Cancer Society (ACS), a group that has come, not to represent “the fight against cancer,” but more as a “spokesperson for the rip-off cancer industry.” Continue reading Why Corretta Scott King went to a Mexican Clinic…

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 Health Fraud (NCAHF) president Robert S. Baratz who claims to be a combination MD, DDS and PhD. Baratz was, also, the only person to testify against Satloff – and he testified for nine full days. I estimate Baratz was paid $125,000 for his testimony by the State of Massachusetts. Baratz testified in an earlier hearing that he has never, actually practiced Dentistry. He also claimed to be a“spokesperson” for the American Dental Association, and a consultant to the US FDA.

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 – libel health care providers.
