Just a few years ago, in Wisconsin, leading-edge health practitioners were at risk offering effective alternatives to the deadly drugs/surgery paradigm. The “quackbusters” ruled State health care with an iron hand. Anyone who dared offer real solutions to suffering patients, and caught the attention of Wisconsin’s anti-health minions, paid a heavy price. Opinion by Consumer […]

An Open Letter to Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle….
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen January 4, 2004 Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle – It’s time you took a hard line with the employees at your Department of Regulation and Licensing (DRL), with an eye towards a serious house cleaning. The employees you have there simply ignore State policy, and common sense. Incompetence, ignorance, and […]

Quackbusters: “Bullys” Barrett, Baratz, Sued For 1.3 Million in Canada…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Bullying isn’t all that profitable these days. In fact, as self named “quackbusters” Stephen Barrett (quackwatch.com), and Bobbie Baratz (NCAHF.org), are finding out, it can, and will, be downright expensive… Quackbusters like to bully people. It’s all they have. It’s the megalomaniac thing to do… Why? Facts, logic, […]

State of Wisconsin Officially Dumps Quackbusters… and Allows Chelation Therapy
The State of Wisconsin Department of Regulation & Licensing (DRL) has, officially, dumped the “quackbusters” as their consultant on health care issues.

Opinion by […]
In Wisconsin: The Exception Proves the Rule…
Well, I was proven wrong on something – and I’m very pleased it happened. It happened in Wisconsin.

AMA Bashes Quackpots…
I’m suggesting to you that you spend $12 at the American Medical Association (AMA) website to read, and download, an OFFICIAL AMA COMMENTARY, and an absolutely SHOCKING article BASHING the quackbusters. In fact, the word “bashing” is an UNDERSTATEMENT. The AMA couldn’t have made it’s OFFICIAL position on the quackbuster’s attack on AltMed any […]
Quackbuster Report Card: D(-) and Sinking Fast…
Everybody in the North American Health Freedom Movement knows who the “quackbusters” are.

A Practical Recommendation for Dealing With “Quackbusters…”
Normal, mentally healthy, citizens from all over the world send me copies of e-mail exchanges they’ve had with “quackbusters.” I’m always amused, and I always advise the same thing – “Do Not get involved in e-mail exchanges with these people.” Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen When they ask why I advise that course of […]

“Health Freedom” and “Quackbusters” Switch Roles – in California Supreme Court Case…
We’ve come full-circle… When the self-named “Quackbusters” stumbled around, years ago, to find a derisive name to call their victims, they picked the word “Quack,” without ever bothering to discover it’s origins. Its original meaning, from Europe, comes from the term “quacksalver” which was used to describe Dentists who were dumb enough to use mercury […]
Cure vs. Treatment…
Big pharma is in a death struggle in North America, trying to preserve its operation. It has taken years, and billions of dollars of investment, to set in place “Treatment,” not “Cure”, as the health modality of North America.

After all, it just […]
