This California Supreme Court Ruling will protect ISP's, blog and chat room owners, and millions of posters from being intimidated by the threat of a lawsuit for something they did not write. The Quackwatch / National Council Against Health Fraud Team led by Stephen Barrett has used threats of and SLAPP suits such as this one, to attempt to silence critics and exhaust their resources for years. These tactics have been used by NCAHF/Quackwatch for years. Read these links below:
Supreme Court of California decision. BARRETT v. ROSENTHAL My Website on progress of suit, Barrett vs Rosenthal (I'm in the process of updating many of these pages.) NCAHF Posts Names of 2,500 Physicians on Quack List Click here to see NCAHF, suspended as a California Corporation What's Eating Stephen Barrett? From Alternative Medicine Challenging Quackwatch’s Position on Lyme Disease The Quackbusters Every one of these listed below has used one or more aliases to attack me, and when responded to, yelled 'abuse.' These are typical Quackwatch tactics. The first 3 work closely with quackwatch as part of their "Rag-tag Posse" formed to harass and attack and defame on the internet those that Barrett is suing in court. Members from Rag-tag who targeted me to harass, stalk, insult and attempt to Smear by any means possible: Mark S. Probert, disbarred attorney The so-called "support leader" working with the above has become one of both Barrett and Polevoy's publicists. Myrl Carlene Jeffcoat, recently advised Polevoy not to pay his $311,000 judgement to my attorneys. The people above (plus several more) were involved in hiring a private investigator to hunt me down in August, 2004. They were working closely with Patrick J. O'leary, who simulatenously had been made General Director of Eurosilicone. O'leary has a history of aligning with people who call themselves "breast implant support leaders" ... while he is on salary from the silicone industry. Here is a list of several of Barretts associated operations.

Thank you so much for your interest. December 15, 2007 updated In the 1990's, Stephen Barrett put his medical license on ice and launched many legal and smear campaigns against several of us: homeopaths, activists, and doctors with far better credentials than himself ... often hiring himself or one of his cronies as an 'expert' in the very lawsuit he launched! This totally backfired on him in his ill-fated suit against King Bio where the judges nailed he & Wallace Sampson as being biased and unworthy of credibility. Because he had failed his Psychiatric Boards, he was never board certified so now, with no active medical license, there was no regulatory body above him as he waged lawsuit after lawsuit and concurrently smeared physicians and scientists and activists he was suing on his perjorative websites. Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Hulda Clark, Dr. Tedd Koren, anti-fluoride activist Darlene Sherell, myself and others were all targets of these rabid assaults. The case that became known as BARRETT VS ROSENTHAL, was first called Barrett Vs (Dr. Hulda) Clark and included many defendants. I am updating this page, soon after reading the total & utter disinformation that Barrett's buddy, the head of the so called National Council Against Health Fraud, Bob Baratz, just put out on this case. (Update of 12/16/2007 I would link to the places I found it on the net, but they've all been nuked in the last couple of days. I have the original if anyone wants to see it. (Update of 12/17/2007: They've now nuked the entire Health Fraud archives in a mad blaze of censoring and changing history and destroying evidence.) In a letter filled with inaccuracies (typical of the Health Fraud / Quackwatch team), to use their term "begging for donations" he shamelessly lies that Barrett lost this case on a technicality. The many Quackwatch / Health Fraud flacks on Wikipedia and Usenet have attempted to change history also. Paul Lee (who runs the Webrings and is Barrett's Assistant Listmaster) has a team on Wikipedia keeping off the facts on the many court losses of Barrett and his various operations.
From the Supreme Court decision, I quote: "As the lower courts correctly concluded, however, none of the hostile comments against Dr. Barrett alleged in the complaint are defamatory." ~~~~~~~~ Further, Christopher Grell lost to me because not only had a never defamed him, I had never mentioned his name nor knew who he was before he SLAPP sued me for libel. He was shamed before the Superior Court Judge when he had to admit this in open court. The third plaintiff, Terry A. Polevoy, an American living in Canada yet suing me in Oakland, California, lost for many reasons. One was because I was not the originator of an email that he claims was libelous. More details on the comment I reposted about him which regarding stalking a talk show host in Canada is here. Before this case was taken to the Supreme Court of California, and Barrett & Grell had already lost twice, Polevoy was offered a total walk-away. He would owe nothing, I would owe nothing. He refused, demanding that his co-plaintiffs (who had already lost in two courts) also be given a free ride. At that point, they owed for their lost Superior Court and Appeals Court attorneys fees only. This week, after 7 long years of being assaulted by his SLAPP suit against me personally ... the Judges ordered the final tally against him, Christopher Grell, and Terry Polevoy. This document can be downloaded here. The total bill for the 3 losing plaintiffs is $430,095.75 for the final years in the Court of Appeals and the Superior Court of California. It appears that Barrett & Grell have left the bulk of the Judgement, over $311,000 with Polevoy and that Grell has now dropped him as his attorney. He will now face interrogatories and collection procedures. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I recently found this excellent and revealing quote about my longterm nemesis, Stephen J. Barrett. EXCERPT: A glimpse into his character can be gained through his habitual use of words to mean their exact opposite. For example, in an article entitled "Poison Mongers," Dr. Barrett refers to people who are trying to stop the addition of fluoride, a poison, to the water supply as poison-mongers. Full article by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis here. June 27, 2007 updated ~ LOTS OF NEWS "Quackbusters" Have Giant Court Losses on Two Continents 6/26/2007 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barrett Loses AGAIN in Pennsylvania Appeals Court ~ Chiropractors Claim Court Victory Against Infamous 'Quackbuster': Barrett loses for second time against respected Chiropractor, Dr. Tedd Koren ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephen Barrett's co-plaintiff, Terry Polevoy became the third of the three plaintiffs to lose to me in the Supreme Court of California November 20, 2006. On May 2, 2007, both Barrett and Polevoy were ordered by the court to post a bond in the amount of $433,715.93. Here is the pdf file. Here are the facts and links to news articles in Barrett Vs Rosenthal: (aka Quackbusters 0 ~ Ilena Rosenthal 3) Barrett's publicists are working overtime on Wikipedia and Usenet to attempt to rewrite the history and the facts of this case. Simultaneously they have upped a smear campaign against me attempting to google bomb and overtake my personal name with a website of their libelous claims and their accusations about me. ~~~~ NCAHF legal again after nearly 4 years of state license suspenditure! THE NATIONAL COUNCIL AGAINST HEALTH FRAUD, INC, after being suspended as a California Corporation for nearly 4 years, has just become legal again. The State of California had suspended them in May, 2003, and as you can see, as of February 2007 when I copied this off their website, they were still suspended yet claiming to be a legal non profit.

To read about Barrett's Canadian Sidekick, Terry Polevoy, click here. He is Waging War on several fronts: against me, Adam Dreamhealer, and Truehope, to name but a few. For my declaration under penalty of perjury, please click here. Here's the supplemental declaration, in response to Barrett's bizarre claims, including: I cannot recall any instance where I have publicly called anyone a quack. He has made a career out of defaming those with whom he disagrees and launching Smear Campaigns of unbridled attacks via SLAPP lawsuits, and his defamatory webpages and Quack Lists. Quackwatch 'Guerrilla' Tactics The internet has been a bonanza for Barrett and his many interwoven front groups to use the warrior tactics he described below. His appropriately named "Healthfraud" list, immediately bans any who are critical of Barrett or Polevoy, or who have other ideas about ongoing controversies about which the Healthfrauds make medical conclusions. They attempt to infiltrate any health related group to force their propaganda, however.
The ability to post anonymously and one poster using multiple names have been well integrated into their strategies to bully their opinions on blogs and Usenet. For years, they have waged vicious campaigns against thousands who have different beliefs than they. Harassing medical boards to investigate for minor grievances those they wish to shut down is typical behavior for them. Dr. Robert Sinaiko was but one who prevailed against them after years and years of being attacked by this team. Please visit my blog here on one of their Wars that was involved with attempting to force chemotherapy and radiation on this beautiful soul. Fortunately, Abraham prevailed against their tactics.
When these so-called 'quackbusters' lose in court, they up their attacks and fill the world wide web, blogs and Usenet with more attacks, frequently by anonymous posters. They claim expertise of hundreds of different ongoing medical controversies, and attempt to fill the internet with their viewpoint. Even when someone settles with them, as Dr. Mercola did, the Rag-tag Posse continues to defame and harass Barrett's targets. For several decades, in conjunction with the chemical and pharmaceutical backed American Council of Science and Health (ACSH.org) as their "advisor," Barrett has been attacking health professionals (and practices) with whom they disagree. These attacks extend to activists like myself, or Darlene Sherrell, who queried Barrett on proof of fluoride safety and received years of defending herself until finally winning his SLAPP style suit against her. More on this case here. Thankfully, she prevailed, even after her codefendant, Philip Heggins died during the case. His so called "National Council Against Health Fraud" has launched many lawsuits and they often go after the licenses of people they deem are "quacks." For a list of the various pots he has had his fingers in ... click here. I know I may sound bitter, but being sued and smeared by them for over 5 years is very intense. He calls himself a psychiatrist, surely knowing the amount of stress these attacks create in patients and doctors and their family ... and the high cost stress plays on one's health. Three of the Posse members were on a team to locate my physical whereabouts and dig up any dirt they could find out about me. They posted untrue findings as facts and recirculate this information frequently. I have no idea if they have any boundaries at all. What they will do to silence their critics and those they have sued or harassed through medical boards, criminal investigations etc. seems to have no lower limits. Several friends concerned for my personal safety sent me a strong recommendation to watch The Constant Gardener. Click here if you've not yet seen this powerful movie about activists exposing pharmaceutical cover-ups. MEDICAL WARGAMES The trillion dollar War of Conventional Medicine (Con-Med) aka Allopathic Medicine versus Complementary or Integrative or Alternative Medicine and Medics has been raging for centuries. The last few decades have been especially bloody and brutal with Stephen Barrett at the helm of the Quackwatch Empire. For a bit of lightness to the serious Allopath War ... please visit this excellent tongue in cheek cartoon by Dr. Joseph Mercola and NewsTarget.com by clicking the logo below.
When Barrett or others of the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) deem someone a quack ... they launch merciless medical witch hunts to destroy their target. A very beloved California doctor, Dr. Robert Sinaiko went through a many year ordeal ... had his license taken away ... his life smeared ... ultimately to be totally exonerated. Years wasted defending himself from internet and legal attacks because he had different medical beliefs than they. The internet is a medium that works well for Barrett's legendary Smear Campaigns, labeling them quacks or the more modern junk scientist, while the smearers hide behind fake names and multiple aliases. Barrett, Terry Polevoy and their attorney, Christopher Grell sued me for being in conspiracy with people I had never met, and for libeling someone I never knew existed. In the Superior Court I prevailed against all 3 of these self-styled "Quackbusters." On appeal, Barrett and Grell again lost. Their reaction? One of their many publicists, this one so humbly named The Reverend Cathy Credulous (or sometimes, DisinfoAgent or Nanaweedkiller), began ciruclating a libelous webpage falsely claiming that I had been arrested for selling crack cocaine to children in San Jose, Costa Rica. She meanders around the internet, posting advertisements for Barrett and Polevoy and the link to this site to date. Here is a list of several of Barretts associated organizations ... including ACSH.org, long funded by the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Food Industries. When Barrett writes propaganda for them regarding MCS, he refuses to admit that the Chemical Industry pays ACSH.org who pays him. There is a vast conglomeration of corporate dollars that funds a huge and pervasive Public Relations Campaign. The goal? To control information on all media ... television, radio, internet, newspapers etc.
He has not had a valid medical license since the early 90's and never passed the Psychiatric Boards which would have protected his patients Yet he proudly is the Watcher in CaseWatch and HomeoWatch and ChiroWatch, and even Credential Watch ... as hypocritical as that is.
Barrett overly promotes himself as an 'expert' and fills page after page blasting therapies and therapists and broadcasts his "opinions" as facts on the dozens of websites he and his Canadian counterpart, Terry Polevoy control. They learned how to manipulate Google ... filling many websites and blogs with adverts to their sites, and "over promotion" or "quackery" defines them perfectly is my opinion. Here is a list of the websites her operates .. each of them promoting the other as 'experts.'
Look at Barrett's HomeoWatch. He fails to mention his losing lawsuit to King Bio and how the Appeals Court Judges in that case declared him: "biased and unworthy of credibility."
On the WWW there are 417,000 mentions for quackwatch ... many of them stem from Barrett himself. He works closely with Junk Science.com ... whose first funding came from the Tobacco Industry, and now from the Pharma / Med Device / Cell Phone / Oil / Chemical Industries, to name but a few. They draw premature conclusions on ongoing medical controversies and steadfastly deny their connection with the chemical, pharmaceutical and med device industries. What Barrett can't deny, however, is his connection with ACSH.org where his coatpockets have hung for decades. One of the most blatant of his diatribes from there was his false claims that Multiple Chemical Sensivity doesn't exist and his Warcry to go after the licenses of doctors and scientists working to figure out this complex issue. ACSH is funded by the chemical industry. Recently, one of the other ACSH flacks, Michael Fumento, got busted for taking $60,000 from Monsanto for just one book ...
I am one of many who have prevailed against the ravages of his many SLAPP suits. They should have saved their printer ink. So many wonderful doctors, researching the complex Multiple Chemical Sensitivity syndromes, have been investigated and sued because of this same team. After Barrett's initial loss to me, along with co-Plaintiffs, Christopher Grell & Terry Polevoy, one of his many flacks put up a website claiming I had been arrested for selling crack in San Jose, Costa Rica. Concurrently, a so called support leader formerly aligned with me, Myrl Jeffcoat, decided to blast into Usenet filling it with false accusations of me and my foundation, which are being repeated today by others of this team ... 5 years later. It was as if her job description was to turn anything and everything she knew about me to negative, and then make up anything about me and the Humantics Foundation and post this as 'rumor.' When corrected by me of her falsehoods, she claimed each time to "stand by everything she wrote." Today they are repeating the same lies first told about me nearly 10 years ago by then president of Inamed, Patrick O'leary ... that the Humantics Foundation and me personally are financially profitting from my work. They have gone so far as to entirely fabricate a story that I mishandled and misused funds regarding Karina, a precious Costa Rican girl and her family I once helped. Their version is entirely false ... yet now around 6 of them are repeating their lies. His team has bought up a website using my name to harass me with morphed copywritten photos of me, purchased a Domain in the name of our foundation to confuse and attempt to humiliate us that way ... and continue to repeat their lie that funds donated to The Humantics Foundation were used to defend myself against their SLAPP suit against me.
Stephen Barrett & NCAHF LOSE CASE ENTIRELY AGAINST KING-BIO Excerpt: In its Opinion, the Court of Appeals agreed with King and Negrete {attorney, Carlos Negrete}. Specifically, the Court of Appeals found that NCAHF "presented no evidence that King Bio’s products were not safe and effective, relying instead on a general attack on homeopathy, made by witnesses who had no knowledge of, or experience with, King Bio’s products, and who were found to be biased and unworthy of credibility." Interestingly, although Barrett still advertises and promotes NCAHF, this California Corporation is apparently defunct (their own word). It shows as "suspended" yet is still being promoted and operated. Though many have asked, no responses as to where they are presently legally doing business has been answered. . Barrett's Loss to Darlene Sherrell. EXCERPT: {Barrett} did not testify that any study demonstrates the safety of current fluoridation levels." Here is Darlene Sherrell's website on Fluoride after defeating Stephen Barrett in court. Here are some interesting links. |
Watching the Quackwatch Watchers Far from being healers in any way, Quackwatch is about ugly Smear Campaigns and SLAPP lawsuits to waste the time, energy, and resources of their many, many targets. They wage War on every level possible, via Med Boards, meritless lawsuits, smear campaigns, harassing government agencies about those they wish to silence and filling Internet with lies. Many of the Usenet and Blog participants in these campaigns are members of the rag-tag posse. Click logo below for the list.
Here are some links to cases Barrett and/or other NCAHF members have waged & lost in the near past. Their attacks are multi-fold. In what was a total disaster to NCAHF... this group of Barrett filed suit against KingBio ... and then hired himself as an expert witness!

Chiropractor Wins Case Against NCAHF Barrett & Grell lose to Ilena Rosenthal in classic SLAPP suit Check out Health Freedom Law Website Stephen Barrett loses to Dr. Tedd Koren in Allentown, Barrett's hometown From Barrett's SLAPP suit against me: " On July 2, 2000, I (Ilena Rosenthal) received another email message from Barrett claiming, "We have no financial connection with the AMA and never have had one." Although I did not write that Barrett had a financial connection to the AMA, Barrett is an author of the AMA’s Reader’s Guide to "Alternative" Health Methods. Surely he was remunerated by the AMA for this work."
Chiros Respond to biased Quackwatch anti-chiropractor article
Medical Control, Medical CorruptionHow the "regulars" came to crush the homeopaths and other competitors, and penalize patients in the process, is a story of deception and manipulation, of industry self-interest and state power. The organized regulars or allopaths first set out to demonstrate that the homeopaths were ill-educated and therefore should be shunned, but that was difficult to substantiate because most of them were converts from orthodox medicine. The AMA claimed that the public did not know what was good for it and that the medical establishment must have total control.
