Dr. Oz, on one of his shows, had invited one of the top Icons in the self-styled “Skeptic” internet movement, Steven Novella MD, to debate Alternative Medicine. Oz, literally, made a fool of Novella – or, perhaps, I should say “Oz let Novella show what a fool he actually is…”
I chuckled all the way through the show. Continue reading Top Pseudo-Skeptic, Steven Novella, Humiliated on National TV… And it was fun to watch…

Google, the owner of the famous search engine, also runs a series of Discussion Groups, called “Google Groups.” For as long as anyone can remember there has been a Discussion Group called “misc.health.alternative.” But no longer. Yesterday, Google shut it down, claiming the group violated Google’s Terms Of Service.”
It was never known who started the group, nor who managed it. But it was always clear that it was a forum for bashing cutting edge health care, for the most part by posters using a fake name, and more often than not, those posters viciously attacked, using the most offensive language and suggestions of odd sexual preferences.

The California attorney for Canada’s cheap copy of Stephen Barrett, one Terry Polevoy, a Board Certified Pediatrician turned pimple doctor, submitted some papers to the Alameda, CA Superior Court last month indicating that a Conditional Settlement had been reached in the Polevoy v Grell and twenty un-named John Does case. You can read the original article about this situation here. Continue reading Pissy Pimple-Popper Polevoy Patently Purchased?…

I get to see stuff happening right before my eyes, long before others become aware of what’s happening. And, I have to say, there are members of the health movement which have a nasty sense of humor I commend and appreciate. In this case I use the word “nasty” in a very good way.

The Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case is so devastating to them that they are, without doubt, at a point similar to where the Japanese High Command was when the Americans were designing the attack on their mainland towards the end of Word War II.

Stephen Barrett, et al, filed some paperwork Monday, January 3rd, 2011 in the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case, in essence, demanding that the Court Dismiss the case in its entirety, financially sanction the attorneys for Doctor’s Data, and Formally Declare Stephen Barrett as the “Czar/God of US Health Care…”

And, much more is coming their way. As well it should. Continue reading Are Barrett’s Handlers About to Buy Off Terry Polevoy?

On August 25th, 2010, in an article called “Has Stephen Barrett’s “Puppet Master” Appeared? “ I said:
“So, what do I think will happen now? Instead of a “legal” Defense, they’re going to use a two part strategy: Continue reading Captain Screwloose (Stephen Barrett) Runs For Cover…

Yes, this story about the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) chewing up the Texas Medical Board in a Federal Appeals Court is already all over the internet. However, not one of the stories tell you what’s going on behind the scenes. And, that’s where the action is. Continue reading AAPS Wallops Texas Medical Board…

The story, of course, I’m telling today is about the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case, which is, by far, the most important court case involving health care in North America. Continue reading Doctor’s Data V Barrett, et al -The NCAHF Board Members are Screwed – REALLY Screwed…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
The Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court is, by far, the most important court case involving health care in North America, for, for the first major time the group that conspires to damage emerging health care systems in favor of the status quo is, itself, under major attack, and will likely be destroyed by this action. And, it is about time. Continue reading The Doctor’s Data v. Barrett, et al, case – a Summary to Date…
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
It is common knowledge that few, if any, Americans believe what US network TV tells them about health care. Most people don’t believe what the big newspapers tell them either. Americans think that our media is controlled – and it is. So, Americans, even those involved in conventional, status quo, health care seek real information elsewhere. And, where do they go? The answer to that question is readily obvious. They get information about what is really happening from those of us in the North American Health Freedom Movement; websites, newsletters, radio shows, TV shows, conferences, public speaking engagements, legislative efforts, etc. Continue reading ObamaCare – The US Health Freedom Movement is Responsible for the Best Changes – But There is Still Much Work to be Done…

In the summer of the year 2000, it was a bolt out of the blue. The revelation. I come back to it for various reasons—this time because I’ve been reading doctors’ attacks on the nutritional industry: “fraudulent claims, quackery, unproven science, theft.”
You’ve heard all the accusations. Continue reading The Starfield Revelation, Revisited…

As a medical investigative reporter for 28 years, I’ve seen public interest in health freedom come and go. Right now, in 2010, it is at a low point.
In the early 1990s, there was a tremendous fervor in America. Millions of people, perceiving a threat from the federal government, realized they could be cut off from the right to improve their health according to their own wishes, judgments, and decisions. Continue reading The Threat to Health Freedom Now – an Exclusive Interview with Jonathan Emord…

I monitor and provoke, sometimes openly, sometimes secretly, the discussion activity of the organization calling itself the “quackbusters.” It is not easy, for, in a way, it is like listening in on a group of pedophiles discussing their plans for our neighborhood children. Keep this comparison in mind.
Recently, of course, I have been monitoring quackbuster discussions about the Doctor’s Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court case. Continue reading Quackbusters: Their Fear is Palpable…

Finally – a Response from Stephen Barrett et al, in the Doctor’s Data v Barrett Federal lawsuit. In essence, Barrett’s legal team took forty-four (44) pages to say “We deny everything. So there.” And, it took Barrett one hundred and seventeen (117) days to come up with that answer. This from a guy who, Court documents show, was commenting on cases filed against his victims up to one day (-1) before the actual filing. Continue reading Barrett Responds to Doctor’s Data v Barrett Lawsuit…
