Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão <[email protected]> [1] Dr Stephen Berrett who operates the Quackwatch.org website claims to be M.D in Psychiatry. [2] He has no expertise in any other field, [3] People all over the globe have made an opinion of him: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110112130339AAjkcqq [4] The Courts in the US have also made an opinion of him: http://subversivethinking.blogspot.com/2008/12/skeptic-stephen-barret-of-quackwatchorg.html + http://www.canlyme.com/quackwatch.html [5] Only laymen with little knowledge of science or scientifically challenged persons will place trust in such non-experts, dishonest and pseudo-skeptics opinions and their blogs and ignore that Conventional medicine is the third leading killer in the US, 250,000 deaths/year; as mentioned in the above sites.
COMMENT: I had a good look at the above post and thought that before I classify it as Good, OK or Utter Nonsense, I'd seek clarification for some of the statements contained therein: re #1: Would Dr. Falcao please direct me to a site where Dr. Barrett (himself) claims to be an MD in Psychiatry? re #2: Perhaps, Dr. Falcao will expand on that statement - no doubt, taking into consideration the fact that the basic degree in Medicine in the US is a "Doctorate" i.e. post-graduate degree. re #3: People all over the world have opinions - about others. The challenge is to verify the basis of those opinions and if there are vested interests that lie behind those comments. re #4: Perhaps, Dr. Falcao will direct us "directly" to the so called-court opinions, he is referring to ....and not an opinion about a court opinion. re #5: I agree with part of that statement i.e. "Only laymen with little knowledge of science or scientifically challenged persons will place trust in .. non-experts". re #5 (again): Perhaps, Dr. Falcao or the sites he refers us to, will provide evidence for the following: "Conventional medicine is the third leading killer in the US, 250,000 deaths/year". sincerely jc
