Health-Freedom Attorney is Quack-buster Buster!
Local Health-Freedom Attorney is
Quack-buster Buster!
By [zg]
San Clemente, CA. - June 20, 2007 - Last week, in a strongly worded opinion, the Appeals Court for the State of Pennsylvania ruled against Stephen Barrett M.D. (aka the “Quack-buster”), a long-time critic of chiropractic and other alternative and holistic healthcare. In an action that chiropractors see as a major setback for their nemesis, the judge refused to overturn a 2005 decision against Barrett. The earlier lawsuit was won by chiropractor Tedd Koren, DC, whose company markets chiropractic educational pamphlets that Barrett had harshly criticized.
Dr. Koren was represented both times by local lawyer Carlos Negrete, of the San Clemente neighboring community of San Juan Capistrano, a nationally noted health-freedom attorney whose specialty is aggressive litigation and representation of alternative and holistic healthcare providers.

Stephen Barrett M.D., known in many circles as a professional “quack-buster”, or "consumer medical advocate", is a hero to some and a long-time scourge to others in the alternative healing professions and their patients.
According to the verdict in the Appeals Court of the State of Pennsylvania, Barrett is the loser in his defamation case against chiropractor Tedd Koren, D.C. Barrett charged Koren with defamation of character and lost, according to a June 14 press release by the World Chiropractic Alliance.
Koren's company, Koren Publications, which markets educational pamphlets for chiropractors, once referred to Barrett as a "Quackpot" and that his vocal nemesis was "de-licensed," and "in trouble."
