Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Quackpot Watch by Tim Bolen http://www.quackpotwatch.org/default.htm Excerpt ~ The " Quackbuster Conspiracy " was started shortly after the American Medical= Association (AMA) lost the court battle to the Chiropractors in a case begu= n in Federal court in 1976. The Federal judge ordered the AMA's covert operation shut down - and leave = the Chiropractors alone. The AMA files, library, etc., ended up in Barrett's 1,800 square fo= ot basement in town, PA. Barrett, and his minions, had the common sens= e to stay away from criticizing Chiropractors for quite some time. Barrett has since abandoned that common sense. Federal judges have a way of enforcing their decisions using shackles, Fede= ral Marshals, the federal prison facilities, asset seizure, etc... Even Barrett, in all his incredible arrogance, isn't dumb enough to match w= ills with a Federal Judge. I think the Chiropractic Association should consider re-opening the Wilks c= ase in front of that same Federal Judge - and point right at Barrett, and h= is cronies. In that early, educational case for me in California, Barrett and t= wo slime-ball investigators from the California Medical Board, had convinced= members of the Laguna Beach Police Department that a nutritionist using ozo= ne therapy was " a sex criminal preying on women. " Flak-jacketed thugs screwed a gun into Salvatore D'Onofrio's ear, forced hi= m to lie on the ground, and thus began a brutal, anything goes, persecution.= D'Onofrio's attorney was a hiking partner of mine, and told me the story on= a ridgeline, seven miles up from a trailhead. I laugh now when I remember my naive response " This can't be happening in A= merica. " Sal D'Onofrio, through his attorney, hired us, at day 43 in solitary confin= ement in the Orange County Jail. He was in " solitary " because that's what they do with sex criminals. He wa= s in jail because the judge had set bail at $500,000, an amount his supporte= rs couldn't raise. Barrett's minions were ruining D'Onofrio's life in the press. We organized a bail hearing for day 48 of incarceration, put 62 of D'Onofri= o's supporters in the courtroom, LA network television in the jury box, got = the front page of the LA Times, etc., etc., etc., - and the judge let D'Onof= rio out on his own recognizance. Seven weeks later the prosecutor dropped the charges. Who are these people that would, so casually, inflict that kind of nightmar= e on an innocent man? , MD's authoritative book " Racketeering In Medicine, " published= by Hampton Roads, carefully explains the " Quackbuster Conspiracy. " ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE? " Alternative Medicine " is defined as any protocol, action, or therapy that = isn't " drugs, radiation, or surgery oriented. " Wrongfully named? Yes. So-called " alternative medicine " is actually the h= ealth choice of planet earth. It is a combination of every good health idea invented by mankind, in every= country and culture on this planet. There is nothing " alternative " about i= t. Labeling planet earth's health choice as " alternative " is, and was, a propa= ganda device. North Americans have overwhelmingly (by their purchases) made " Alternative = Medicine " the " health choice of the people " - for the best of reasons: it wo= rks better than allopathic, it " removes the cause " rather than " treating the= symptoms, " it is cost effective, it makes people feel better and think clea= rer, and it doesn't have all those horrible effects, and side effects, of in= vasive surgery or prescription drugs. More than half of the US health dollar in 1999 was spent on " Alternative Me= dicine " and it was all out-of-pocket. Conventional medicine is being paid for, and is surviving, only because ins= urance and Medicare pay for it - the public won't spend an out-of-pocket nic= kel on it. Alternative Medicine philosophies fit the " American (I'll make my own decis= ions) " way of thinking. Allopathic Medicine philosophies fit the " Germanic (follow my orders) " way.= " Alternative Medicine " is for people who think for themselves - Americans. The door to real " alternatives " is barely open. The future of medicine is right in front of us - it isn't in pharmaceutical= s - it is in nutrition, body cleansing, prevention, oxygen therapies and ene= rgy medicine - all of which are constantly targeted by the sleaziest of the = " Quackbuster " soldiers.
