Quackwatch

Tag: UncategorizedValeria Weber @ 12:17 am

Stephen D. Barrett M.D. is a retired physician who has become a professional crusader against fraud of all sorts in the medical community. He has published several books and has established no fewer than twenty two websites with material relating to all aspects of this issue.

It’s pretty much a one man show. In the site’s own words, “Quackwatch is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies. Its primary focus is on quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere. It was founded in 1969 as the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud and was incorporated in 1970. In 1997, it assumed its current name and began developing a worldwide network of volunteers and expert advisors.”
