The Quackbuster's Newest Victim
(Wisconsin)...
Opinion by
Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
January 7, 2003
This story will make you angry.
We all know there is a subversive group operating in
America that arrogantly calls itself the "quackbusters." Their job is make
certain that nothing new evolves in health care that would compete with the
existing system. They get paid to do this. They've been operating for some
time. It's time to shut them down.
The whole California quackbuster attack was a hoax, and a scam, cooked up by Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, and Stephen Barrett (of quackwatch.com) to pay themselves "expert witness fees." They both needed the money, as neither of them seems to be able to hold a job. Baratz, and Barrett were supposedly acting on behalf of the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF).
THEIR NEWEST ASSAULT...
The newest quackbuster attack aims at leading-edge MDs - those that rarely prescribe dangerous drugs, and focus on making, and keeping, their patients healthy - and the laboratories, pharmacies, vitamin manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers that serve those practitioners. It is centered in Wisconsin.
Reeling from horrendous beatings in California, Oregon, Arizona, Ohio, and Florida, the "quackpots" (as they are called in the Health Freedom Movement) are getting desperate.
WHY THEY PICKED ELEAZAR
KADILE MD...
The quackbusters want to "set a precedent" case in
place - to be used against other practitioners using leading-edge therapies, testing, diagnostic equipment, and
pharmacies, in Wisconsin (about 3,000), and nationwide (about 450,000).
To do this they needed a case they thought they
could win. They needed someone who they thought couldn't defend themselves.
The attackers found an MD, a victim they thought would be ideal, for their
purposes, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They
picked Eleazar Kadile, MD.
Eleazor Kadile, MD is a nice, kind,
man. His patients think the world of him. He, and his family, have made their
mark in Green Bay, Wisconsin. His wife, Genia, is a certified Nutritionist. No
patients have ever complained about him - in fact the opposite is true. Like
many leading-edge MDs, Eleazar Kadile gets those patients who have been
EVERYWHERE else - and tried EVERYTHING to restore their health - to no avail.
They came to him to get healthy - and it worked.
Eleazar was a regular-old-conventional
practitioner until it was discovered that two of his children had a serious
medical condition that was virtually UNTREATABLE by conventional medical methods
- lupus. He began his search into the realm of "leading-edge," or more commonly
called "alternative," medicine for a simple reason - he wanted to save his
children's lives.
I've spent a lot of time with the Kadiles, and their
patients, during the last year. These people are what America is all
about.
A few years ago, the Kadile children's medical condition (lupus),
came to a critical point. Death was near... Eleazar Kadile went to the
University of Wisconsin and arranged to give his son one of his kidneys - to
save his life. Genia Kadile gave their daughter one of her kidneys - to save
her life. Only one of the children survived - the daughter.
As you can
imagine, the situation with their children, nearly crushed the Kadiles - emotionally and financially. Medical
Insurance in this country is a not-funny joke. The Kadiles put everything they
had into saving their children. Who
wouldn't?
It was that "put everything they had"
situation that made the quackbusters
select Eleazar, and Genia, as their victims. Arthur Thexton, a Wisconsin "quackbuster" prosecutor, and Robert
Baratz, selected Eleazar Kadile as their target BECAUSE of the
Kadile's situation surrounding their
children, and it's related devastating
financial, and emotional, trauma. Thexton, and Baratz, figured the Kadiles would be an
easy victim - because it didn't appear they could defend themselves. Typical
quackbuster thinking...
They could have been right...
But Thexton, and
Baratz, didn't count Kadile's patients, other Wisconsin health professionals,
Wisconsin legislators, and leaders in the "advanced medicine" industry into the
equation. It was the Kadile case that spawned the birth of the Wisconsin
Association for Health Freedom (WAHF). One case led to another, until it was
discovered that there was a plot that could be proven. And now the WAHF is
angry - and organizing, fund raising, and taking action.
Just for this case
alone, The prestigious international
College of Integrative Medicine formed a special task force to deal with this
case and it's ramifications.. So did the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine.
THE WISCONSIN
PLOT...
The Kadile case is ongoing in Wisconsin.
Prosecutor Thexton, and Baratz, cooked up a plot to win. It is in progress.
What these two are trying to do is to force Eleazar Kadile to settle his case
with a so-called "stipulation." We believe that that "stipulation" is the model
that Thexton and Baratz want to FORCE ON ALL 3,000 Wisconsin practitioners who
use leading-edge practices. At the bottom of this article is a link to the
so-called "stipulation."
To force Kadile into settlement, Thexton is
having Baratz testify as an expert on ALL PHASES OF MEDICINE for 7 to ten days.
The idea is exhaust Dr. Kadile's financial resources as fast as possible so that
he can't afford legal counsel, and will have to give in and accept their so-called "stipulation." Our friend
Jonathan Collin, the owner of "The Townsend Letter For Doctors and Patients"
printed the entire "stipulation" in the January, 2003 issue.
When you read the "stipulation" documents, you'll understand what the quackbusters, including Thexton, are trying to do.
THE QUACKBUSTERS DESPERATELY NEED A "WIN"...
Right now
the Quackbusters are "on the ropes" in North America. For obvious reasons, we need to keep them
there. In Wisconsin we have an opportunity to do
them EVEN MORE harm than we did to them in California, Oregon, Arizona, Ohio,
and Florida.
Exposure of the
quackbusters has led to their demise. Their top propagandist, Barrett, with his
dubious website quackwatch.com, claims to be the do-all, be all, expert in
health care. It turns out that, among other things, Barrett's claim to being
"a retired Psychiatrist," is laughable. In his last five years of
practice ending in 1993, legal documents show, Barrett "saw" only nine
patients, and his so-called "employment" was at the State Mental Hospital in
Allentown, PA from 1979 to 1999, where he worked "4 to 8 hours a week,"
giving out band-aids in a ward. From this laughable career, Barrett claims to
have gleaned an expertise in ALL things health and medical.
The
National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF), the quackbuster flagship, has
sunk. It's currently headquartered in a dirty
cardboard box in the back room of a Boston area hair removal salon. It
used to be based at California's Loma Linda University - before it was rudely
evicted. Their current president, Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD, in a
RECENT desperate fund-raising plea for the
NCAHF, actually offered an out-of-focus photo of me (Tim Bolen), and a recording
of me (Tim Bolen) leaving a message with the Wisconsin Medical Board, as an
INDUCEMENT for contributions. Honest to God.
Worse, for the quackbuster
leadership, is that their last attempt at gaining status in the medical world -
the so-called "fraud" lawsuits in California last year, not only FLOPPED, but
ended up getting them a legal judgment,
I estimate at $700,000, against the
NCAHF for court costs and Attorney fees. Barrett and Baratz, as well as the
NCAHF board members and the general
membership, may have a PERSONAL LIABILITY in that case. There was never any
doubt that Barrett, and Baratz, had cooked up the so-called "fraud" lawsuits,
without consulting the NCAHF board, or the membership, as a device to bring in
"expert witness" fees to, and for, themselves...
They needed the money. See "Quackbusters in BIG court troubles..." at
http://www.quackpotwatch.org/opinionpieces/quackbustersinbigcourt.htm
At this point, one
would think that the quackbusters would simply fold up their tent, and shrink
into the shrubbery.... But, no, we're not
dealing with normal people here. The average quackbuster, is now, and always
has been, forty-seven planks short of a woodpile. Their ranks are a haven for
"losers" in the medical profession. Bitter
losers.
SO, ON TO
WISCONSIN...
THE "COUNTER-STRATEGY"...
The "quackbusters" have been around for a while. They've done a lot of damage to America. They need to PAY for that. We can't just let them slink back under the rock they originally crawled out from under.
Morris Dees, the head of the Center For Southern Poverty Law, had the right idea when he went after the Ku Klux Klan - and destroyed them. In short, Dees, and his group, hunted down the leadership of the KKK, and sued them into oblivion - seizing and selling their property - homes, guns, pickup trucks, and white sheets with eyeholes. Dees, and his group, turned over the information they gathered to the US Attorney General - and the Attorney General acted. That's what we need to do to the "quackbusters." Exactly that.
Wisconsin is an excellent opportunity - we've got their top guy (Baratz), with his fake resume, and his crazed testimony, backed up against the wall - and two public employees (prosecutors) are using Bobbie KNOWING he's a fake, and a fraud. Perfect.
