Quackwatch

In particular regards to Lyme disease. This websites opinion shows strong bias against people experiencing advanced chronic lyme infection symptoms that test negative to the western blot, pcr and erisa tests. Johs Hopkins study showed none of these test were accurate enough to rule out lyme disease. And in combination were still not near 100% accurate. These were confirmed cases. Motive for the insensitive position can probably be compared to the clinical treatment of Polio before a NUN used heat therapy. She was debunked by a medical community that considers their opinion the only one that counts. Considering the amount of money these people make, perhaps their own investment returns would be better with little or no treatment protocols being paid for? I don't like this site at least in their stand on Lyme disease. And that discolors any other opinion they have for me.

One of the worst sites to receive your information.

This is a heavily biased website attacking anyone who is investigating alternative medicine. The owners are also on the board of directors for other organisations that receive direct funding from Big Pharma and Chemical companies. They also promote the use of Sodium Fluoride in drinking water, even though the Nazis used it in their concentration camps to keep prisoners docile.

"Dr" Barrett was also exposed in a lawsuit where he had to admit he had no certificate to give Psychiatric advice even though he had done so to unsuspecting people. He has also launched 40 lawsuits against what he calls ' quacks ' and he has not won a single case. There are far better sites out there and openly ask questions about alternative medicine rather than do what quackwatch does which is out right attack and dismiss with no proof.

Over 100,000 people die from the drugs they promote, can anyone provide a number close or more than that from people who have died using natural remedies to fight their illness?

Quackwatch has totally FALSE information on their website. They have a webpage called Index to "Fad" Diagnoses, which claims that Chronic inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) (aka biotoxin illness, aka mycotoxin illness) is not real. I have mycotoxin illness and it is REAL. I I tested positive on VCStest.com as well as positive for Ochratoxin A on the MycoTox Profile test through Great Plains Laboratory. Finally, I have an answer to all my joint pain, muscle pain, memory loss, etc. It is very frustrating when doctors tell you that there is nothing wrong, but yet you know there is something wrong. Barrett is a former psychiatrist, and is in no way qualified to claim that Chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) (aka biotoxin illness, aka mycotoxin illness) is not real. It IS REAL. Stop spreading false information on Quackwatch.

Notice that you can't contact anyone at the quackwatch.com website? You have to ask why it exists - but the answer is all too obvious. Big Pharma and too many medicos are feeling threatened by medicine that practices PREVENTION as well as TRUE HEALING. So they need websites like this to scare the mediocrity into thinking that ONLY big pharma and the bullying pocket lining medicos can treat them properly. Sadly that's why health insurance costs so much - we're all paying for the slashing, poisoning and burning all of which costs massive $'s and ensures the patients remain ill so they'll need on going so called therapies. It's not called "health care" called the SICKNESS INDUSTRY.

Dr. Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch Exposed In Court Cases

At trial, under a heated cross-examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam.

This was a major revelation since Barrett had provided supposed expert testimony as a psychiatrist and had testified in numerous court cases. Barrett also had said that he was a legal expert even though he had no formal legal training.

The most damning testimony before the jury, under the intense cross-examination by Negrete, was that Barrett had filed similar defamation lawsuits against almost 40 people across the country within the past few years and had not won one single one at trial.

During the course of his examination, Barrett also had to concede his ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
