Quackpot Watch

"THE LAST DAYS OF THE QUACKBUSTERS"...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

I've been following the activities of the "Quackbusters" for about
five years, ever since the name Stephen Barrett (www.quackwatch.com)
came up, as a player, against a client of mine in California. I asked
the question "why would this group be using a doctor from
Pennsylvania, as their witness, when there are 300,000 health
professionals in this State?"

Thus began my education. Now I'm going to educate YOU...

The "Quackbuster" operation is a conspiracy. It is a propaganda
enterprise, one part crackpot, two parts evil. It's sole purpose is
to discredit, and suppress, in an "anything goes" attack mode, what is
wrongfully named "Alternative Medicine." It has declared war on
reality. The conspirators are acting in the interests of, and are
being paid, directly and indirectly, by the "conventional"
medical-industrial complex.

Millions of health freedom fighters, and members of the public,
worldwide, know what I know. Public outrage and reaction is growing.
After 25 years of unopposed success, the "Quackbusters" are now in
real trouble... "The end" for them, has begun. They, themselves are
being hunted.

The "Quackbuster Conspiracy" is in a desperate place now. They know
they've lost the war, and are going to pay a terrible price for their
actions. The fear is in their eyes...

CRACKPOTS?

Yes. When the self-named "Quackbusters" stumbled around 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 (a poison) as
fillings for teeth. Look at propagandist, and "Quackbuster" king-pin,
Stephen Barrett's website (www.quackwatch.com), and you'll find that
HE IS IN FAVOR of mercury (amalgam) tooth fillings. Barrett, his
cronies, and minions, are not known to do intelligent research.

EVIL?

Yes. The "Quackbuster Conspiracy" was started shortly after the
American Medical Association (AMA) lost the court battle to the
Chiropractors in a case begun in Federal court in 1976. The Federal
judge ordered the AMA's covert operation shut down - and leave the
Chiropractors alone. The AMA files, library, etc., ended up in
Stephen Barrett's 1,800 square foot basement in Allentown, PA.
Barrett, and his minions, had the common sense to stay away from
criticizing Chiropractors for quite some time. Barrett has since
abandoned that common sense.

Federal judges have a way of enforcing their decisions using shackles,
Federal Marshals, the federal prison facilities, asset seizure, etc...
Even Barrett, in all his incredible arrogance, isn't dumb enough to
match wills with a Federal Judge. I think the Chiropractic
Association should consider re-opening the Wilks case in front of that
same Federal Judge - and point right at Barrett, and his cronies.

In that early, educational case for me in California, Stephen Barrett
and two slime-ball investigators from the California Medical Board,
had convinced members of the Laguna Beach Police Department that a
nutritionist using ozone therapy was "a sex criminal preying on
women." Flak-jacketed thugs screwed a gun into Salvatore D'Onofrio's
ear, forced him to lie on the ground, and thus began a brutal,
anything goes, persecution.

D'Onofrio's attorney was a hiking partner of mine, and told me the
story on a ridgeline, seven miles up from a trailhead. I laugh now
when I remember my naive response "This can't be happening in
America."

Sal D'Onofrio, through his attorney, hired us, at day 43 in solitary
confinement in the Orange County Jail. He was in "solitary" because
that's what they do with sex criminals. He was in jail because the
judge had set bail at $500,000, an amount his supporters couldn't
raise. Barrett's minions were ruining D'Onofrio's life in the press.

We organized a bail hearing for day 48 of incarceration, put 62 of
D'Onofrio's supporters in the courtroom, LA network television in the
jury box, got the front page of the LA Times, etc., etc., etc., - and
the judge let D'Onofrio out on his own recognizance. Seven weeks
later the prosecutor dropped the charges.

Who are these people that would, so casually, inflict that kind of
nightmare on an innocent man?

James Carter, MD's authoritative book "Racketeering In Medicine,"
published by Hampton Roads, carefully explains the "Quackbuster
Conspiracy."

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?

"Alternative Medicine" is defined as any protocol, action, or therapy
that isn't "drugs, radiation, or surgery oriented."

Wrongfully named? Yes. So-called "alternative medicine" is actually
the health choice of planet earth. It is a combination of every good
health idea invented by mankind, in every country and culture on this
planet. There is nothing "alternative" about it. Labeling planet
earth's health choice as "alternative" is, and was, a propaganda
device.

North Americans have overwhelmingly (by their purchases) made
"Alternative Medicine" the "health choice of the people" - for the
best of reasons: it works better than allopathic, it "removes the
cause" rather than "treating the symptoms," it is cost effective, it
makes people feel better and think clearer, and it doesn't have all
those horrible effects, and side effects, of invasive surgery or
prescription drugs.

More than half of the US health dollar in 1999 was spent on
"Alternative Medicine" and it was all out-of-pocket. Conventional
medicine is being paid for, and is surviving, only because insurance
and Medicare pay for it - the public won't spend an out-of-pocket
nickel on it.

Alternative Medicine philosophies fit the "American (I'll make my own
decisions)" way of thinking. Allopathic Medicine philosophies fit the
"Germanic (follow my orders)" way. "Alternative Medicine" is for
people who think for themselves - Americans.

The door to real "alternatives" is barely open. The future of medicine
is right in front of us - it isn't in pharmaceuticals - it is in
nutrition, body cleansing, prevention, oxygen therapies and energy
medicine - all of which are constantly targeted by the sleaziest of
the "Quackbuster" soldiers.

THE "QUACKBUSTER" STRONGHOLD...

The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), is a vital Medical
Doctor (MD) control point. It is the trade organization of all 50
State's Medical Boards. The FSMB is the organization that writes the
policy manuals, and provides training for, Medical Board investigators
and prosecutors all over the United States. The FSMB is the
"Quackbuster" police agency.

The "Quackbusters" use the FSMB to persecute two groups (1)
"Alternative Practitioners" within the MD ranks (they treat them like
traitors), and (2) non-licensed alternative health professionals (they
charge them with "practicing medicine without a license").

The "Quackbusters" through the FSMB, have been able to change the
focus of prosecutions against "bad doctors." They define "bad
doctors" as those that use alternative modalities - and maximum
penalties are exacted. We have seen in California, that real "bad
doctors," those that kill their patients, actually get off with a
slap-on-the-hand by using the defense "but I prescribed a lot of
drugs." State medical Boards are not serving the needs of "we the
people," they are serving the needs of the "Quackbusters," and their
paymasters.

Medical Board prosecutions are funded by the States - Barrett, and his
slime artists, don't have to spend a dime... I couldn't even count the
number of "alternative medicine" practitioners currently under
persecution from mis-informed Medical Board investigators and
prosecutors. The damage done to Americans from this attack is
incalculable...

BARRETT'S DUBIOUS CLAIMS ABOUT WHAT "HEALTH FRAUD" REALLY IS...

The US government has indicated that "Health Fraud" is a major problem
in the United States Health Care system. Statistics show that
"conventional medicine" rips off the American public significantly
each year in bogus billings, false claims, unnecessary procedures and
tests, etc...

Attorney General Janet Reno has a special nationwide "Health Fraud
Prosecution Unit" to deal with this massive problem. The prosecutions
are against mega-greedy hospitals, HMOs, ambulance companies, nursing
facilities, etc. - all "Conventional" medical units - not
"Alternative."

But, if you peruse Stephen Barrett's (don't call him doctor, he's not
licensed) website, you get the impression that "allopaths" are to be
classified somewhere next to archangels - and "alternatives" are
snake-oil salesmen, akin to the devil's minions. Barrett clearly
defines, in smirky arrogance, health fraud as "alternative medicine."

Huh?

Doesn't Barrett read national statistics on health fraud? Of course
he does - he just ignores them. And "Barrett's parrots" at the FSMB
mimic their supreme commander's every word in their policy statements.
Anyone can read FSMB policy statements, in their entirety, on the web.
Just go to www.fsmb.org and start reading. They, like Barrett, define
"health fraud" as "alternative medicine," and fail to even mention the
real national "health fraud" statistics.

WHY THE FEAR IN THEIR EYES?

Three Reasons: Exposure, ridicule, and public rage.

(1). EXPOSURE - Health Freedom Fighters, tired of the persecutions,
and outnumbering the "Quackbusters" 100,000 to 1, are now watching
Barrett and his soldiers carefully. They've decided to put a stop to
Barrett and company. Lists are being made of who the "Quackbuster
Conspirators" are, what their function is, where they fit into the
conspiracy, who they work for, who their associates are, where they
live, and what their probable motives are. Their daily activities, as
"Quackbusters," are being monitored, and documented.

Health leaders consider Barrett, and company, to be running a
subversive organization working against the interests of America.

(2). RIDICULE - Examination of Barrett's operation proves that the
"Quackbusters" are a paper tiger. They are a construction with a 25
year old modus operandi. Their membership is small, they have an even
smaller core group, the industry is turning its back on their
extremism, and their leadership "public presence" is laughable. Their
support network could best be described as "pea-brained."

Their "annual meeting" for the conspiracy was held in a Super 8 motel
in Missouri - 25 stalwarts attended from, at least, six different
plotter groups. Not very impressive.

"Bizarre" Stephen Barrett, his cronies and minions, even labeled two
time Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling as a "Quack." The American
public, in a consumer-driven movement, is rejecting, with laughter and
ridicule, Barrett and company's ludicrous assertions - hence the term
"Quackpot" is now used, commonly, to describe the self-named
"Quackbusters."

(3). PUBLIC RAGE - The American public is just now realizing two
things (a) that a good many of those "alternative" things being
blocked, and suppressed, have been around for a long while - but not
available to them because of the conspiracy, and (b) that the system
to find and put new things in place is corrupt - and works against
Americans. Every "cure" since polio has been suppressed, and the
proponents of those cures, reviled by the "Quackbuster Conspirators."

Statistics show that every one of those "cures" worked to some
extent...

Barrett, his cronies, minions, and henchmen, have every reason to fear
public rage. Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev said it best. He said,
"We would never invade America. For every American has a gun..."

"You mean my mother didn't have to die that horribly, or even die at
all?" is a question more, and more Americans are asking...
