This site is terrifying. It presents itself as a non profit consumer protection site when in reality its only goal is to promote the pharmaceutical industry. It tries to discredit legitimate, state-licensed, legal health care practitioners. It bashes every government agency that endorses or promotes alternative medicine. It discounts the critical importance of nutrition in health. If there are 30 positive studies and 10 negative ones on a certain treatment, guess which ones get listed and which don't? Reader beware!

We are often told to think for ourselves, but understanding why one expert is right and another wrong can be out of reach for people without the required expertise or information. This website provides great information regarding the credentials of affluent pseudo-experts and the failures of theories pushed by pseudo-intellectual academic movements. I have greatly appreciated the clarity and scope of this website and highly encourage anyone who would like to be more properly informed to give it a look.

Propaganda & Mind Control
February 17, 2023

It seems that Quackwatch exists for the sole purpose of discrediting all forms of alternative medicine in favor of promoting Big Pharma. I like to think of Quackwatch, like many doctors, as simply drug-runners for the pharmaceutical companies. Like most drug dealers, they will stop at nothing to squash the competition - especially if the competitor product actually works and might reduce drug sales.

Brilliant Site

As a journalist from quacktrack.org trying to weed out quacks and fake doctors, I know the importance of this site and the role Dr. Barrett has been playing. He must have saved hundreds of lives by exposing quackery, fake drugs, etc.
