Barrett interview podcastedThe Americans for Science Blog has posted a 50-minute podcast
http://welovegv.com/americans-for-science-episode-3-dr-stephen-barrett-and-quackwatch-com/in which Dr. Stephen Barrett describes how he became interested in fighting quackery, a wide range of problems he has encountered, why people are vulnerable, and important components of our society that are failing to take protective action.
###
Continuing request for help from Dr. BarrettIn June 2010, Doctor's Data, Inc. sued Dr. Barrett because it didn’t like what he wrote about its urine toxic metals test on Quackwatch and in this newsletter. The events leading up to the suit are described at
http://www.quackwatch.org/14Legal/dd_suit.html About half of the counts were dismissed in 2011, and most of the rest were dismissed this year. Dr. Barrett expects to prevail completely, but the proceedings have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars so far. Even small donations, if sent by enough subscribers to this newsletter, will be very helpful. Contributions can be made by mail or through
