Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 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. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0972969713/quackwatch-20 cappie Greater Boston Area T-2 10/02 9/04 A1c: 5.3 max 100 carb diet, walking, Metformin.

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. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 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.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 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. cappie Greater Boston Area T-2 10/02 9/04 A1c: 5.3 max 100 carb diet, walking, Metformin.
