[SPAM?] Quackbuster Stephen Barrett: **Not an Expert,** Declares Judge!

Must disagree with you that Barrett is "a skilled writer." He's good at casting aspersions; not good at conveying facts. (Don't think the man would recognize the truth if it bit him.) For a failed physician, he's not doing too badly by styling himself an expert on matters medical.
My latest encounter with his website was a few months ago when I was researching Insulin Potentiation Therapy for cancer treatment. Foreseeably, Barrett is against it -- but on the most laughable grounds. He claims it may result in cancer cells becoming resistant to conventional chemo therapy. That's specious analogizing from bacterial becoming resistant to antibiotics that are overused, whereas the whole point of IPT is that it permits the administration of doses of chemo so low that they cause no noxious side effects.
And this idiot claims to be a scientist...
Peace,
Dale
