Mail order on-line pharmacy guide published

[Guest guest]

Dr. Barrett's highly respected medical quackwatch newsletter notes that:

PharmacyChecker.com has issued a handbook intended to help consumers

judge the integrity of 42 Canadian and U.S. pharmacies that sell through

the mail or via the Internet.

The book describes how the pharmacies operate, indicates which ones are

licensed, and compares the prices of 30 popular drugs. The book sells

for about $12 at Amazon Books.

On the contrary, Dr. Barrett and his chief witnesses are not highly

respected at all.

Quackwatch and NCAHF 'expert witnesses' including Barrtt himself have

been found in Federal court in both the United States and New Zealand

to be biased and unworthy of expert status in anything they attempted

to testify on. In Canada their bias has also discredited them and

they have been sent them on their way by Federal court.

They appear to be nothing more than the blunt end of a pharmaco-

medical initiative to discredit alternatives. Noting that Steve

Barrett is himself is a delicensed psychiatrist, has never even been

an MD, and is a quack himself by legal definition because he embraces

the use of mercury fillings on his website (a quacksalver), rather

than getting yourself caught up in the disinformation war, I'd

recommend that people, everybody, apprise themselves of any science

from other, less biased sources.

Duncan and all: Before a person can become a psychiatrist, he/she must

get an MD degree. Psychiatry is a medical specialty, just as OB/GYN,

neurology, cardiology, etc. are. If Dr. Barrett is a psychologist he

probably is not an MD. But if he's a psychiatrist, he is (or was).

I'm curious as to your statement " delicensed psychiatrist " . What can

you refer me to about this specific fact?

BTW, this is the first I've heard of Dr. Barrett, so I have no specific

ax to grind - but I just wanted the facts to be accurate.

Secondly, mercury used to be used 100% of the time for fillings. I know

that it is considered dangerous now, but I am 67 years old and all the

fillings done in my youth were mercury fillings. And I'm still here to

tell the tale, with absolutely no health problems EXCEPT diabetes. And

I have all but 2 of my own teeth.

It does not surprise me that a quack will call a debunker a quack.

As I said Dr. Baretts rep is in high regard & I first learned of him on

Mendosa's site who recommends him highly.
