Quackwatch Busted!

Post by MachineGhost »

A little old by a few years, but it's about time...

In Canada, Barrett admitted to claims made by a plaintiff(3) that:

    The sole purpose of the activities of Barrett & Baratz are to discredit and cause damage and harm to health care practitioners, businesses that make alternative health therapies or products available, and advocates of non-allopathic therapies and health freedom.

    Barrett has interfered with the civil rights of numerous Americans, in his efforts to have his critics silenced.

    Barrett has strategically orchestrated the filing of legal actions in improper jurisdictions for the purpose of frustrating the victims of such lawsuits and increasing his victims costs.

    Barrett failed the exams he was required to pass to become a Board Certified Medical Doctor.

Stephen Barrett founded and has been the figurehead of Quackbusters since its inception. What more should anyone require to acknowledge Quackbusters' lack of their authenticity?

Quackwatch info is about as accurate/unbiased as NY Times reporting on any republican.
Which of course is not to say that all alternative stuff works/is valid, or lord knows that all republicans policies are appropriate.
It was good being the party of Robin Hood. Until they morphed into the Sheriff of Nottingham
