I don't know about Dr. xxxxxx, but I do know that xxxx xxxxx is a "wanna-be" Quack Buster. (We call them the "Quackpots")He is one of those that quotes Barrett. One thing the Quackpots don't know, is that there is an Electrical Engineer with a PhD that is working with Dr. Clark. He and others are looking for ways to improve the Syncrometer. Here is some of the things we've learned about the "Quackpots" Opinion by Tim & Jan Bolen Some of the things we have learned about the so-called "Quack Busters" (we call them "Quackpots"!) The most prominent characteristic of the people in this group is that while their own credentials may not be all that impressive (i.e. a no-longer-licensed psychiatrist who believes he is an expert in nutrition because he once edited a nutrition magazine - Barrett; a "pimple doctor"- Polevoy; a Physical Fitness Ph.d., - Jarvis; a house painter - Bill Ross, etc.) Each one of them considers themselves to be experts on all facets of medicine, to the point where they, and only they, can determine what's "quackery" (basically, anything different or "leading edge"). They quote from each other as their sources on what is considered "quackery". Did you notice Terry Polevoy mentioned the "Quackpot" website and quoted from Barrett? They have, unfortunately, had an impact in that they actively get themselves appointed to the FSMB - The Federation of States Medical Board (U.S.) - thus influencing Medical Boards on what to look for in "quackery" and training Medical Board Investigators on same. However, they are being discredited all the time. Barrett was faced down by Dr.'s at Johns Hopkins University when he tried to quote from studies that didn't exist! Jarvis' attempt at respectability by claiming that the "Quack Pots" were based from Loma Linda University was yanked away from him after a letter from Dr. Julian Whittaker and others, detailed his extremely unethical behavior at a meeting to discuss health freedom issues, to the University President. We are researching and finding other examples like this. The main tactics the "Quackpots" use are intimidation, public mockery and frivolous lawsuits. However, when they attack people (who often have far more impressive credentials) they don't really research the people and protocols they are trying to discredit. Barrett's attack on Dr. Clark is ludicrous. He obviously doesn't know what he is talking about, has not read her books, and certainly knows nothing about the research on which Dr. Clark, a scientist, bases her theories. The Quackpot's "Hit list" includes Dr. Linus Pauling a two-time Nobel Prize winner, and other impressive health humanitarians. When you take a look at what they attack, it is easy to come to the conclusion that there has to be some funding by some major Pharmaceutical Companies, somewhere. We are looking to be able to prove this.
