This story is a belly laugh – unless, of course you’re a quackbuster… Then, maybe it’s not so funny. Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen 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 … Continue reading Quackbusters Massively Crushed in California Court…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen This story will make you angry. We all know there is a subversive group operating in America that arrogantly calls itself the “quackbusters.” Their job is make certain that nothing new evolves in health care that would compete with the existing system. They get paid to do this. … Continue reading The Quackbuster’s Newest Victim (Wisconsin)…
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 … Continue reading Homeopathy – A Success Story for 2002…
Delicensed MD Stephen Barrett operates his questionable website “quackwatch.com” out of his basement in Allentown Pennsylvania. Barrett claims to be a “retired Psychiatrist” but was never, ever, Board Certified in that specialty. It has also been shown that Barrett is NOT licensed as a Naturopath in any state – and doesn’t even have a mail-order … Continue reading Quackpot Barrett is Finished – We Need to Find His Paymaster…
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 … Continue reading “Pimple Popper” Polevoy, Pustulates…
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” … Continue reading “The Tables Have Turned” On the Quackbusters…
The self-styled “quackbusters” have LOST ANOTHER court case in California… This time, before they even went to trial. And, it looks to me, that they lost it INTENTIONALLY to avoid having their leadership legally “deposed.” Last year, to hear the “quackbusters” talk, you’d have thought they’d found, and activated, the perfect plan to rid the … Continue reading Cowardly “Quackbusters” DISMISS Case to Avoid Being DEPOSED?…
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 … Continue reading Quackpots Lose AGAIN, in Florida…
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 … Continue reading Florida Dental Board Backs Down…
If the American medical establishment (the allopaths) were in charge of our computer industry, we’d still be using #2 pencils – and you’d have to have a license to use an eraser. The situation is that bad. “We the people” are suffering for it. Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Allopathic medicine (MD) has failed. … Continue reading Allopathic (MD) Corruption is a Way of Life…
There was a day, I’m sure, when NOBODY could have pushed delicensed MD Stephen Barrett (www.quackwatch.com) aside as the undisputed king of the “quackbuster” crazies. But that day is GONE. Even though the old boy still lives, his stooges are already dividing up his clothes. And, there isn’t a thing he can do about it. … Continue reading “Quackbuster” INFIGHTING, for Barrett’s Throne, HEATS Up…
It looks to me like delicensed MD Stephen Barrett may be looking at his last days leading the “quackbuster conspiracy” in North America. I think he’s going to be ousted, and replaced, with Robert S. Baratz MD DDS, PhD (Bobbie Baratz). It may have already happened – and Barrett may not even be aware of … Continue reading Barrett OUSTED(?) as Chief Quackpot?
Say goodbye to the “HealthFraud Discussion list.” The lid’s been put on the cesspool. Opinion by Tim Bolen In a message, the other day, members of the “HealthFraud Discussion List” were informed that the list would cease operation August 31st, 2001. They didn’t say why they were shutting the list down. But, I suspect that … Continue reading Barrett’s “Back” BROKEN (figuratively speaking)…
The same Judge, in the same Court, that declared delicensed MD Stephen Barrett, et al, as SLAPP artists, ruled again against the questionable actions of the quackbuster conspiracy. SLAPP stands for “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.” Barrett, and his bludgeon squad, isn’t doing well in California… Opinion by Tim Bolen Stephen Barrett, who claims to be … Continue reading Quackpot Menace “Drop-Kicked” (again) in Alameda…
I beat delicensed MD Stephen Barrett in Court last week. It was ridiculously EASY… (yawn). Barrett, who operates www.quackwatch.com out of his Allentown, PA basement, is apparently trying to silence me through intimidation, by sort of suing me. Sort of? Yeah, sort of… Keep reading. Opinion by Tim Bolen
Prosecutors in the Florida Dental Board vs. Phillips case must of thought they’d struck a death blow to the Phillips’ defense strategy when they brought in an “expert witness” named Robert S. Baratz MD DDS PhD as a “surprise rebuttal witness” against Phillips’s superb defense witnesses. Baratz sounded great answering prosecutor questions. Phillips’s defense witnesses … Continue reading Florida Judge orders GRILLING of Quackbuster PERJURER(?)…
The “Quackpot Menace” in the United States is floundering. Chief quackpot Stephen Barrett (www.quackwatch.com) has been lashing out in desperation, trying to save the remains of his internet business. Hate-mongering, in the new millenium, apparently, has a limited appeal. Barrett’s internet business consists primarily of painting American leading-edge health humanitarians with the brush of “quackery.” … Continue reading QUACKPOT MENACE “FLOGGED” IN FLORIDA
The 2016 title of this 1997 article should read “Who Were These so-called “Quackbusters?” Why? Because they were beaten into the ground so many times they went home to hide under the bed. But it is important to know how all of this anti-cutting-edge health care process began. Then too, it is enjoyable reading the … Continue reading Who are these so-called “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. … Continue reading Will the San Diego Federal Judge Put Stephen Barrett in Jail?…
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 … Continue reading “Quackbusters” Crushed in Massachusetts Dental Case…
