  1. I'm here at a client waiting for something to download, so I thought I
    would just see how Google Groups was doing. I navigate ovet to MHA and
    what do I see? Sponsored links about parasites belonging in at least
    one case to that great humanitarian and person with no interest in
    money, Hulda Clark.

    I wonder how Hulda found out that this might be a good place to peddle
    her wares. Or maybe the intelligence built into the Google software
    just automatically thinks "Hulda" when it detects the word "parasite".

    Seems to me, Ratz ... that's it's your humble Guru Stevie Barrett who
    has this newsgroup filled with shills selling his Quack Inc. books,
    courses, and dubious "expert" testimonies.

    Who specifically on this newsgroup has been selling Barrett's books and
    courses? Which books and courses? Can you name names? (I was unaware
    Barrett even offered books and courses; his "shills must be doing a
    pretty crappy job here.)

    He has published books. I doubt he has "courses".

    I hope ability to construct logical searches is a little better when you
    survey the literature on breast implants. None of the posts in your URL
    that I checked show anyone posting to this group to sell Barrett's books
    and courses. All you did was search Google for any mention of
    Quackwatch.com in this newsgroup, which is a little too broad a search
    for my tastes. I will admit, however, that I did not check all 3000+ of
    the results that came back from that URL.

    And much to his credit, he has not published tripe like "The Cure for All
    Cancers", "The Cure for HIV/AIDS" or "The Cure for All Diseases". It is BS
    like those books that hurt people.
