The Mushroom Cloud that Caused Autism

Opinion by: Kenneth Stoller, MD, FAAP with Anne McElroy Dachel

 

In the first article in this series on autism, a mercurial finger was pointed at the high level of mercury children received from their vaccines and the huge upswing in the autism rate. It was noted that the background level of mercury pollution from coal-fire power plants and other sources (such as dental amalgam) was so high that one in every six women in the US has a level of mercury in her body high enough to affect her children’s health.  The cost to society of these affected children amounts to billions of dollars annually, and the ultimate cost of caring for all those disabled will cost trillions. Lastly, the point was made that this isn’t so much about autism as it is about the future of human life on this planet if we don’t stop mercury pollution.

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 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.

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.

Throwing children into oncoming traffic: The truth about Autism

By: Kenneth Stoller, MD, FAAP with Anne McElroy Dachel

 

I have been a practicing pediatrician for over 20 years. I saw my first child with autism in the early 90’s – before that I had never seen an autistic child, and I never saw an autistic child in all my years at school. The boy was 4 years old and you could see the frustration in his face as he wanted to speak but nothing intelligible would come from his mouth except shrieks of anguish.   Continue reading Throwing children into oncoming traffic: The truth about Autism

Pennsylvania Dental Board Approves Cavitat Device, NICO – Dumps Quackbusters…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

Public agencies have relied on the “quackbuster” operation for expertise in health care issues far too long.  The time when an agency could fly some“quackbuster” bozo in for a hearing, have them testify to nonsense for a few hours, and stuff them back on a plane, fat check in hand, with the sure knowledge they had a “win” is long gone.  The State of Pennsylvania Chief Counsel’s office and the Pennsylvania Dental Board found that out the hard way, over almost a three year period, in the “Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Stephen R. Evans, DDS” case. Continue reading Pennsylvania Dental Board Approves Cavitat Device, NICO – Dumps Quackbusters…

US FDA:  Maybe It’s Time for the Hercules Solution…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

In Greek mythology, Aegeas, the king of Elis, had a vast herd of cattle.  The stables in which they were kept hadn’t been cleaned in 30 years. By then it was impossible to clean them and the resulting stench was unbearable.  Hercules, who had been assigned 12 stupendous tasks (“the Labours of Hercules”) to be performed in atonement for a crime he had supposedly committed, came on the scene. One of those tasks was to clean the Aegean stables. Hercules did the job in one day by diverting a river to flow thorough the King’s stables.

The phrase “clean the Aegean stables” now means to clear away an accumulated mass of corruption – physical, moral, ethical, legal… Continue reading US FDA:  Maybe It’s Time for the Hercules Solution…

Quackbuster Assaults:  Clark, the One that Worked in Reverse… 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

The US “quackbuster” operation, suffers humiliation almost daily these days.  When you listen to their leadership discuss this problem they inevitably blame one person for their woes – scientist, and author, Hulda Regehr Clark PhD.

76 year-old Clark, an independent scientific researcher and author of six best-selling books on health care and what’s wrong with it, is clearly the most hated person in quackbusterland.  Why?  Is it because they can’t beat her down, can’t stop the sale of her books, can’t have her imprisoned, can’t destroy her reputation, can’t frighten her into submission, and can’t destroy her work through innuendo and smear tactics?  Continue reading Quackbuster Assaults:  Clark, the One that Worked in Reverse… 

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 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.

FDA “Backs Down(?)” Over Deadly Mercury Amalgams…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

One of the biggest scandals in American health care is coming to a head this March 27th, 2007.  In the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, a case, called “Moms Against Mercury, et al., v. FDA” will get its time in the sunlight, and the Defendant, the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) isn’t doing well in its Defense.

The case is simple.  Citizens are suing the FDA for NOT, during the last THIRTY YEARS, ruling on the safety, or danger, of mercury amalgam tooth fillings.  The Plaintiffs want mercury amalgam tooth fillings banned completely, and forever.

And, the FDA has virtually no defense... Continue reading FDA “Backs Down(?)” Over Deadly Mercury Amalgams…

Victory Bells to RING at Health Freedom Expo Long Beach…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen 

 

The North American Health Freedom Movement (NAHFM) is charging through health care issues like General Dwight David Eisenhower smashed through Europe after D-Day on June 6th, 1944.

All over the United States, and Canada, health freedom assault armies are ripping the existing health systems to rags, and demanding REAL health care NOW.  Ten US Senators, last week, sent a letter to President George W. Bush, demanding change RIGHT NOW – and Bush responded pretty much by saying “sounds good to me – let’s do it.” Continue reading Victory Bells to RING at Health Freedom Expo Long Beach…

Courts Seize “Quackbuster” Bank Accounts, Property…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

A few days ago, Christopher Grell, one of the Plaintiffs, and the attorney for the Plaintiffs Stephen Barrett  and Terry Polevoy , filed an emergency Ex Parte Motion with the Alameda, California Trial Court in the Barrett v. Clark (Rosenthal) case asking for a Temporary Restraining Order preventing Defendant Rosenthal from collecting attorney fees awarded to Rosenthal by the Courts.  The Court denied the Motion,  and “collection” has begun in earnest.

Ten US Senators say:  “We want to fix health care NOW…”

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

Ten US Senators, two days ago, wrote a bi-partisan letter to President George W. Bush saying:

“Each of us believes our current health system needs to be fixed now. Further delay is unacceptable as costs continue to skyrocket, our population ages, and chronic illness increases. In addition, our businesses are at a severe disadvantage when their competitors in the global market get health care for “free.”” Continue reading Ten US Senators say:  “We want to fix health care NOW…”

Why is the US Health Care System Failing? – Incompetent Management at DHHS…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

February 13th, 2007

Nobody even tries to hide the fact that the US Health Care System is broken beyond repair. 

There is a lot of finger-pointing going on, as well there should be.  The US health care system costs too much, it’s the top three killers of Americans, and Americans don’t trust it.  It simply doesn’t work.

Who’s fault is this?  Blame lies solidly with the management of the US Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS).  Current management is incapable of dealing with health care problems.  It has set up a US Health Care system that doesn’t work, and has no chance of ever working.

Quackwatch “Defamation” Verdicts Could Reach Many Tens of Millions of US Dollars…

More Skeptic Articles

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?

Anti-Quackwatch “Defamation” Litigation ROARS Forward…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

It’s not easy, these days, being a “quackbuster.”   What with the (1) public humiliation surrounding recent High Court decisions (2)  rejection by the US Court System of “quackbuster” “expert witnesses,” (3)  pointed questioning of “quackbuster” credentials  (3) internet, and other successful public challenges, of the quacker’s activities, and much more, the “quackbusters”  have really fallen on hard times.

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.  Cases all over the United States, originally initiated by “quackbusters” , are being dropped by State agencies – like hot potatoes.  Continue reading Quackbusters “On the Ropes?”…

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 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.

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

There’s no question in my mind that the Spamhaus/SPEWS Project is a criminal conspiracy designed to damage legitimate American businesses’ and social activist’s ability to communicate on the word wide internet.  The Spamhaus “volunteers,” and the SPEWS manipulators, hide to protect their identities from those victims to avoid both criminal and civil legal actions against themselves.

California Legislature Votes to Kill the Health Insurance Industry….

Opinion by Consumer Advocate  Tim Bolen

 

There is a war on in the United States over health care.  On one side is the “status quo” represented by the medical monopoly, the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance carriers, and an entrenched bureauracracy wholly beholden to, and run by, the people they are supposed to regulate.  Continue reading California Legislature Votes to Kill the Health Insurance Industry….
