List, 

I find some useful info. and links on Quackwatch, but the flaws and
biases are just grotesque.   Among other outrages, you can find a
listing of Omura's brilliant, patented Bi-Digital O-Ring Test as an
"unnatural method,"  and a wholesale dismissal of the German-made
EAV-type diagnotstic machines and methodology.   

A review of one such machine is illustrative:   the reviewer had no
operating manual and had no idea of how the machine was supposed to be
used;  the reviewer mistakenly believed that a glass vial -- containing
nothing -- was supposed to cause a deflection in the ohm-meter on the
machine, and suggested the failure of an empty glass vial to do so
indicated the falseness of the entire concept.  

This is just awful. An essentialpart of EAV diagnosis is based on
molecular (or sub-molecular) resonance.   No one has ever claimed that
an empty glass vial would produce changes in an EAV or Vegatest reading.
 I know only a  very little about this field, but I can certainly
recognize grotesque bias and unfairness when I see it.   Quackwatch
certainly demonstrated a very wrongheaded, misleading, and inaccurate
approach to EAV.  

Read Barret's final words in this section of the website to understand
his prejudice:   he says that anyone who uses such methods is either
deluded or incompetent or criminal, and urges readers to report anyone
who uses such devices to him and to other agencies that can carry out
criminal prosecution.   Barrett seems to want to be expert, judge,
prosecutor, and jury all at the same time.    I was really disturbed by
this bullying and antagnoistic approach. 

All the same,  I have gotten so much useful info. and so many good links
that I think Quackwatch deserves at least grudging respect as a source
of information, along with the disinformation.   Formats such as this
one can help us to distinguish between the two.
