  1. How Do You Trap A Quackbuster?

    Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

    July 3rd, 2003

    It's easy. You set out cheese.

    Our project in Wisconsin is a prime example of how to deal with quackbusters,
    correctly, and efficiently. First, understand who, and what, you're dealing
    with. Once you know that, you've installed a ring in their nose, which you can
    use to lead them to their end. That's what we're doing to Robert S. Baratz MD,
    DDS, PhD, the current President of the National Council Against Health Fraud
    (NCAHF) in Wisconsin.

    Quackbusters are so arrogant, and predictable, by nature, that it's easy to
    lead them to their downfall. Individually, they're like one of those
    pull-string dolls I bought for my kid when she was three years old. Pull the
    string and you get a message like "I'm going to be a big girl some day." And
    then it wets it's diaper.

    I call the rank-and-file quackbusters "Barrett's Parrots." If failed MD
    Stephen Barrett says it, the minions say it. Like the pull-string doll,
    there's only one message - and that's ALL there is.

    Except for the diaper part.

    Hair Removal Salon owner, Robert S. Baratz, is sort of an UPGRADED quackbuster.
    Made in a laboratory, Baratz is sort of a combination pull-string doll, and
    rodent. Watch videos of him, and you'll see what I mean.

    I've helped nail little Bobbie in Florida twice, Texas twice, California twice,
    and some other places. He's easy to beat. I'm not surprised he broke into
    tears in Wisconsin. He ran twice in Florida, had a jury laugh at him in Texas,
    dropped a case in California to avoid being deposed, and more. If he'd had any
    idea that a trap was being set in Wisconsin, he'd have stayed home with the
    drapes drawn, with his Mom answering the front door..

    Quackbusters, individually, or together, aren't much. Their hallmark is the
    "fake resume," designed to make quackbusters look like they are in the same
    world as those they criticize - when they aren't. Almost all of them do it -
    to try to give some credibility to their dubious pronouncements about health
    care. In Robert Baratz's case, the resume is a major issue. His resume is
    literally, a fantasy world. For details:

    http://www.quackpotwatch.org/opinionpieces/quackbusterexpertperjury.htm

    But Baratz isn't the only one.

    Wallace Sampson, who parades himself on the internet as the editor of "The
    Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine" (belch) claims as his descriptive
    title "Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University." The fact is,
    this rancid old fart probably couldn't even FIND Stanford University, if he had
    to... He's NEVER taught an alternative medicine class at Stanford, or for that
    matter, ANY class at Stanford. He got his title ("Clinical Professor ...) when
    he was required by his former employer, Santa Clara Medical Center, to sign off
    on Stanford medical students, working weekends, cleaning bedpans. Sampson
    performed that function in the 1980s, and he's been using the title ever since.

    I guess, on a quackbuster resume, it sounds better to say "Clinical Professor
    of Medicine at Stanford University," then the reality of "bedpan cleaner
    signer-off-er." What we should all make note of is the significant fact that
    Sampson uses this self-description FIRST and FOREMOST, which would indicate
    that, to him, being a "bedpan cleaner signer-off-er." was, and is, the high
    point of his professional career.

    Sampson is typical of quackbuster leadership.

    Anybody can see that the first qualification to be a top quackbuster is to be
    hateful, and resentful of other's accomplishments. The second qualification is
    to be vicious. The third is to be willing to lie, and misrepresent important
    issues. The fourth, and very important, is to LIKE hurting others - the
    ability to revel in the knowledge of how much damage they are doing to
    Americans.

    Knowing the quackbuster's personality traits makes it easy to set a trap.

    The Trap...

    In the Wisconsin case, Baratz came in thinking the case was going to be a
    slam-dunk. For Baratz, and prosecutor Arthur Thexton, knew that Eleazar and
    Genia Kadile were suffering the financial and emotional devastation of having
    two of their grown children beset by lupus, an incurable disease. They knew
    these two kind, caring, people had each given one of their children more life
    by donating each of them a kidney. They knew that only one of those children
    survived. Baratz figured he'd come in, get a quick $50,000 in fees, take the
    Kadile's home, their business, their retirement, their very lives, away from
    them, and go on to his next victim.

    But it didn't work. Baratz and Thexton didn't count on Eleazar and Genia's
    friends coming to their aid.

    In Wisconsin, Baratz sunk his teeth into the cheese... and we slammed the trap
    shut. And now HE, Robert S. Baratz, MD, DDS. PhD, is on trial for his life.

    Never before, in any trial, anywhere, of a leading-edge health practitioner
    like Eleazar Kadile MD, has the situation been reversed - where the accuser is
    on trial, except here. But it won't be the last time. Look what happened to
    quackpots Wallace Sampson, and Stephen Barrett, when they showed up in Los
    Angeles Superior Court (NCAHF vs. King Bio), didn't like the Court's decision,
    and filed an appeal. The Three Judge Appeals Court labeled them "biased, and
    unworthy of credibility."

    What we did in Wisconsin was a simple tactic. It can be used on any
    quackbuster who comes to testify in any case. Just keep them talking. Keep
    them writing down answers. Keep asking about the claims they make on their
    resumes. It doesn't take long before they run out of stock answers. Then,
    like Baratz did, they'll start to make things up. Keep going. That's when
    you've got them. Keep going some more. One bad answer, or two, can be written
    off as a mistake. Thirty bad answers, or fifty, or a hundred, become a pattern
    of Perjury and Fraud.

    As an example, Baratz claims on his resume that he's a "Consultant to the FDA
    Office of Criminal Investigation." When it was pointed out that we have two
    different letters from the FDA saying they "never heard of him," Baratz
    responded that he was "a secret agent," and that "he couldn't tell us what
    department, or Supervisor, he worked for" (insert laughter here). Agent
    double-O Goofball? Do you suppose he has a shoe phone?

    This is what Baratz is facing July 14th, 15th, and 16th. And maybe the 17th,
    and 18th. He's going to be cross-examined ONLY on his RESUME and his
    CREDIBILITY, on those days. If he survives that, and I doubt that he will,
    then he'll face a whole week of cross-examination on his "expert witness"
    statements. His "expert witness" statements were so ludicrous, that top MDs
    and Scientists reviewing his documents, and the statements within those
    documents, at first thought "this guy knows nothing about science, or
    medicine." But then reality struck. Baratz has three doctorates. He has to
    know. He was simply lying. Lying under oath is called Perjury. Perjury is a
    Misdemeanor. In volume, it's a Felony.

    This is a landmark case...

    Have you ever heard of a case where the Judge assigns THREE DAYS of
    cross-examination on the "expert witness's" resume and credibility, before?

    When I say that Baratz is on trial for his life, I mean exactly that.

  6. This gets sicker and sicker. It is time Jan was sent to Coventry for a
    while, I think. 99% of her posts are clearly intended to provoke and
    antagonise. It is demeaning for any of us to have to counter lies from
    the likes of Bolen, and it has proved a total waste of time responding to
    Jab on anything. I suggest she be ignored totally. .

    Quackbuster "expert witness" may be charged with PERJURY in Florida Case...

    Opinion by Tim Bolen

    March 31st, 2001

    Massachusetts "Quackbuster" Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD hopped on a plane
    last January, from Boston to Florida, to show up in a West Palm Beach courtroom
    as a "surprise rebuttal witness" in the Florida Dental Board vs Phillips case.

    What a belly laugh that was. Baratz made a total ass out of himself during the
    deposition, then walked out when he didn't like the questions he was being
    asked. And, after the dust settled, the story got even better...

    Seems Baratz had a MAJOR problem, during the deposition testimony, staying
    within the bounds of truth. So much so that PERJURY charges may be on the
    horizon.

    Baratz LIED about his qualifications on his CV resume BIG TIME. Baratz is one
    of de-licensed MD Stephen Barrett's (www.quackwatch.com) top lieutenants in the
    floundering "quackpot menace."

    Baratz testified (under oath) that he was a Consultant for the Food & Drug
    Administration (FDA) Office of Criminal Investigation (OCI), and as such had
    insider knowledge of FDA policy and thinking. He sounded impressive and
    authoritative in his testimony. It's just that it was all a LIE - The FDA never
    heard of Baratz, and I have a letter from the the FDA Office of Internal
    Affairs (OIA) to prove what I say.

    Of course, now the Court has a copy of the FDA letter...

    Not only did Baratz LIE about his relationship with FDA, but he LIED about
    almost all of his current employment. In his deposition Baratz made FANTASTIC
    claims about his qualifications.

    HERE IS WHAT I FOUND when I checked on his claims:

    Most significant are Baratz’s FALSE CLAIMS to current employment (on his CV
    resume):

    (1) On page #2, under “Practice and Patient Care Experience,” Baratz claims
    “Assistant Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine,
    Boston University School of Medicine,”

    I called the Boston University School of Medicine and asked for Baratz. They
    have no listing for him. I asked for the Personnel office, and was directed to
    the Director of personnel, George Snowden, who told me that Robert S. Baratz is
    not an employee of the University, is NOT ON THE STAFF, and to his knowledge,
    has no relationship with the University. Snowden, a long time employee of the
    University, had never heard of Baratz, and wished to be provided with any
    documents, or data, where Baratz claimed an affiliation with the University.

    (2) On page #5, under “Current Hospital Staff Appointments,” I called all
    of the three hospitals listed and asked for Baratz:

    (A) Carney Hospital, after several telephone calls, responded that Baratz was
    definitely NOT “on Staff” as he claims, but was restricted to a limited
    relationship called “Provisional Associate,” which, it was explained to me,
    meant that he could, with permission, bring a patient to the hospital. The
    hospital did not know of ANY INCIDENT in which Baratz ever brought a patient to
    the hospital.

    (B) Martha’s Vineyard Hospital had no listing for him, knew of no way to
    reach him, and DID NOT have him on their staff directory. They did not know who
    he was.

    (C) Jordan Hospital had no listing for him, and their response to me was
    “I’ve never heard of him.”

    (3) On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience and Employment,”
    Baratz claims “Director, IMCSI (Computer Based Medical Device Tracking
    systems)...”

    I called two different nationwide telephone directory services and could get no
    telephone number for a company, or corporation named IMCSI, nor the longer
    version of it’s name (International Medical Consultation Services Inc.). The
    Internet had no listing for any such company; no website, nothing.

    (4) MOST IMPORTANT - On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience and
    Employment,” Baratz claims “Consultant, United States Government, U. S.
    Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Criminal Investigation (OCI).

    I called the FDA OCI in Washington DC and was referred to the FDA Office of
    Internal Affairs, where I spoke to Assistant Special Agent in Charge Paul F.
    Gebicke. Mr. Gebicke requested that I FAX to him, immediately, portions of the
    documents where Baratz indicated his relationship with the FDA. I faxed to him
    the entire seven page CV, and relevant pages concerning Baratz's claim to a
    relationship with FDA, in the Baratz deposition.

    Mr. Gebicke responded to me by telephone and indicated that his office had
    investigated Baratz’s claims (as per the documents faxed to them), and that
    they would respond to my request by letter. They did so, faxing me a letter
    dated March 2, 2001, signed by Donald L. Briggs, Special Agent In Charge, FDA
    Office of Internal Affairs.

    In short, BARATZ's FDA CLAIMS ARE A FRAUD.

    FDA Brigg’s letter indicates that his office investigated five claims made by
    Baratz either in his CV, or in his testimony recorded on the deposition, as
    follows:

    “Between February 28, 2001 and March 02, 2001, Special Agents of the FDA OIA
    made the following inquiries that failed to reveal Baratz either has/has had a
    consultant or contractual relationship with the FDA in general, or specifically
    with the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI), the law enforcement
    branch of the FDA.

    On 2/28/01, an OIA SA spoke with OCI Assistant Director (AD) Frank Forgione who
    said no records could be located that support the assertion that Baratz has
    ever been a ‘consultant’ to OCI.”

    “On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
    (CDER) representative Glenna Caffrey, who is responsible for screening
    prospective nominees as SGE to FDA panels on drug matters. No records could be
    located that support the assertion that Baratz has ever been an SGE panelist,
    guest panelist, or participant of record in CDER issues.”

    “On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Device and Radiological Health
    (CDRH) representative Kathleen Walker, who is responsible for screening
    prospective nominees as SGE to FDA panels on device matters. No records could
    be located that support the assertion that Baratz has ever been an SGE
    panelist, guest panelist, or participant of record in CDRH issues.”

    “On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Biologic Evaluation and Research
    (CBER) representative William Freas, who is responsible for screening
    prospective nominees as SGE to FDA panels on drug matters. No records could be
    located that support the assertion that Baratz has ever been an SGE panelist,
    guest panelist, or participant of record in CBER issues.”

    “The above inquiries were made with respect to assertions that Robert S.
    Baratz is a medical doctor and DDS (dentist) who alleges a relationship with
    the FDA as a result of his alleged expertise in the area of general Dentistry,
    drugs, and devices related to this field.”

    (5) On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience and Employment,”
    Baratz claims “Consultant NBC News, New York.”

    I called NBC News, New York. They never heard of him, and told me he was
    definitely NOT a consultant to them.

    (6) On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience and Employment,”
    Baratz claims “Consultant ABC News, New York.”

    I called ABC News, New York. They never heard of him, and told me he was
    definitely NOT a consultant to them.

    (7) On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience and Employment,”
    Baratz claims “Consultant, State of California, Office of the Attorney
    General, and Board of Dental Examiners.”

    First off, there is no such organization in California called “The Board of
    Dental Examiners.” The licensing agency for dentists in California is called
    the “California Dental Board.” I called them, they researched their records
    carefully, and responded that they had never heard of Baratz, he was not now,
    nor ever had been, a consultant for the State of California.

    No other State agency we contacted (listed by Baratz on his CV) could find any
    record of him as a consultant.

    (8) On page #1, under “Skills: Business Development, Entrepreneurial
    Activities, Administration, and Organization” Baratz claims “Founder of two
    corporations in medical device area. One (Polymedica) is now >$100M on NASDAQ,
    other (IMCSI) in growth stages.”

    I called Polymedica and asked for Baratz. They had no office or phone number
    for him. I told them that Baratz claims to be THE FOUNDER of the company, and
    they then referred me to the CEO, who called me back, and said that he did know
    Baratz, but that he had no knowledge of whether Baratz had any financial
    interest in Polymedica.

    (9) On page #2, under “Communications,” Baratz claims “National
    spokesperson for professional organization (American Dental Association) for
    scientific matters.”

    Organizations, especially a large one like the American Dental Association
    (ADA), do not lightly give, or allow, “spokespersons.” I called the
    American Dental Association main office in Chicago, Illinois, and asked for
    Baratz, or the office for “spokespersons.” I was routed around the office
    to several people who would be familiar with anyone who acted as a
    “spokesperson” for the ADA. No one I talked to at the ADA had ever heard of
    him, or had any record of him acting as a "spokesperson." I examined the
    ADA’s website carefully, and could not find Baratz listed anywhere in their
    data base.

    I wonder if Bobbie got his witness fees up front?...

    rather emotive news item.

    Peter Moran
    ==============================

    Years earlier, a scientist just a few miles away from the Gelsinger’s home in
    Tucson had raised serious questions about whether the experiment was safe.

    Documents

    • Feb. 8, 2002: FDA letter, attempt to ban Dr. Wilson from other
    experiments.
    • March 3, 2000: FDA Warning Letter, original findings about the gene
    therapy experiment.

    (SEE ANY COVER-UPS THERE, PETER??)

    The trouble is, Paul Gelsinger says, Dr. Wilson’s team had never told him
    that anyone had ever raised questions about safety

    (That's fine and dandy according to organized medicine member, Peter Moran.)

    AND PETER BOWDITCH!!

    ADVERSE REACTIONS WERE NOT REPORTED
    And that was just the beginning. Federal investigators, pouring through
    Penn’s records, announced at the conference that they had made a series of
    startling discoveries, raising questions about whether the doctors had covered
    up problems and broken basic test rules.

    In fact, just a few months before Jesse had signed up for the experiment,
    several monkeys given viruses similar to Jesse’s got sick. And two of them
    died.

    (SEE ANY COVER-UP THERE PETER??))

    The rules for the experiment said: Even if volunteers didn’t get visibly ill,
    if tests showed that any of them had a significant reaction called “grade
    3,” the experiment was supposed to be “halted” immediately.
    Records show there were “grade 3” reactions in more than one
    patient. The first time, doctors stopped, called the government and got
    permission to continue, saying an unusual condition with the patient might have
    been the cause.
    The second time, they stopped, called and got permission again, citing
    another unusual condition.
    But when it happened a third time, they didn’t stop, didn’t call.
    Then, a fourth time. They didn’t stop or call then either

    (FOUR TIMES PETER!!!!!)

    For their own safety, volunteers weren’t supposed to have a blood
    ammonia level higher than 50. But people were coming in with higher levels and
    without proper approval. The limit was raised to 70.
    When Jesse signed up over the summer, he was within the limits, but
    records show that when Penn doctors tested him, just days before the
    experiment, his reading was 114 — more than double the original safety limit.

    (That's way cool huh Peter???)

    HIGH FINANCIAL STAKES
    With so many red flags from the monkey deaths to the reactions in other
    volunteers, even to Jesse’s own ammonia levels, Why had Dr. Wilson’s team
    allowed the experiment to continue?

    (Wonder if Peter can answer this question?)

    At the University of Pennsylvania, the conflict committee approved Dr.
    Wilson’s arrangement with Genovo.
    In fact, the university itself owned a piece of his company and stood to
    profit, too.

    (Hmmmmmmmmm).

    In a statement, the university acknowledged that some information
    “should have been shared with the FDA sooner.”

    (Just a minor little slip,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)

    There was no information given to Jesse or his family about the monkey deaths.
    There was no information given to Jesse or his family about toxic results in
    prior patients. There was no information that would allow Jesse and his family
    to make any kind of informed decision.”

    (Peter STILL can't see any coverup!!!! NO dishonesty!)

    CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS

    He told congress that other private companies in the race for cures had
    also been doing gene therapy experiments and had also gotten adverse reactions.
    But instead of sharing the information, government rules allowed them to stamp
    those reactions “confidential,” classifying them as trade secrets to
    protect their research investments.
    So, while the government knew about them, other researchers like Dr.
    Wilson and volunteers like Jesse Gelsinger were never allowed to see them.

    (TRust the government!!!)

    “I was outraged,” says Paul. “I had a right to know. Jesse had a right to
    know.

    (Oh my,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,emotions).

    ***In February, the Food and Drug Administration said that because Dr. Wilson
    filed “false and misleading” reports and “repeatedly and deliberately
    violated regulations***

    REPEAT FOR THE HARD HEADED!!!

    Dr. Wilson filed “false and misleading” reports and “repeatedly and
    deliberately violated regulations

    (No coverups,,,,,,,,,,no fraud,,,,,,,,,,no deliberate violations,,,,,,,,,,,,)

    HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU PETER BOWITCH?????

    This week marks the third anniversary of Jesse Gelsinger’s death. At
    the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Wilson

    ****is still on the faculty****

    (Soooooooooo in organized medicine,,,,,,,,,,,)

    ****Filing *false and misleading reports* is A OK,,,,,,,,,,,,****

    ****REPEATED and DELIBERATE violations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is A OK.***

    but no longer in charge of its gene therapy program. And, in Congress,
    lawmakers are still debating legislation to provide more protection for medical
    volunteers.

    ******in the end, whether Jesse was betrayed by the doctors he and his family
    thought they could trust.*********
