Stephen Barrett – The Real Quack!
It is obvious, that, after one humiliation after another, in 1993 Barrett simply gave up his medical aspirations,  turned in his MD license, and retreated, in bitterness and frustration, to his basement. It was in that basement, where Barrett took up “quackbusting” – which, in reality, means that Barrett attacks “cutting-edge” health professionals and paradigms – those that ARE achieving success in their segment of health care. And there, in “quackbusting” is where Barrett finally found the attention and  recognition he seems to crave – for, a while, that is, until three California Judges, in a PUBLISHED Appeals Court decision, took a HARD look at Barrett’s activities, and declared him “biased, and unworthy of credibility.” Bitterness against successful  health professionals is Barrett’s hallmark.  To him they’re all “quacks.” In this, his essays are repetitive and pedestrian. Barrett, in his writings,  says the same things, the same way, every time – change the victim and the subject, and still you yawn your way through his offerings.  It’s like he’s filling out a form somebody gave him… Take an overactive self importance, couple it with glaring failure and rejection in his chosen profession, add a cup of molten hatred for those that do succeed, pop it in the oven – and out comes Stephen Barrett – self-styled “expert in everything.” Barrett, we know, along with his website, was named, among other things, in a racketeering (RICO) case in Federal Court in Colorado.
Barrett’s Funding – TOP SECRET… Barrett was cornered in a Federal case in the State of Oregon not long ago, and asked about his income.  He testified that over the past two years he made a TOTAL of $54,000. How then does he afford to carry on fourteen (14) separate legal actions at one time? If each legal action cost him $100,000, that would come to 1.4 million dollars ($1,400,000). How do you squeeze 1.4 million out of a $54,000 total income? Good question…
