Still, every claim he makes should be evaluated on it's own rather than
just make blanket assumptions. I find blanket assumptions made by either
side of the alternative/conventional medical issue are equally likely to
be in error.
Barrett is indeed a quack himself, but that does not necessarily mean he
is always wrong. :-) .
To throw out critical thinking and researching by oneself, is always a
mistake, imho.
And frankly the push against alternative medicine and supplements is so
global, and so huge, that we as consumers desiring to keep access to
alternatives open, simply cannot afford to support quacks just because
they are "alternative". To do so is to fall into the hands of those,
like Barrett, who are pushing for total eradication of any alternative
access. However, doing the work at all to try to find out the truth of
any particular assertion on the Barrett site, or any quack site, is very
difficult. It is always easier to simply choose up sides and get out the
pom-poms, but it just is not the path of finding out truth.

While I agree with you partly Sol, I sure can understand Marshall's
thoughts on this.
The problem when someone is so vehemently against something, I've
often found they either can't be trusted, or their judgement can't be
relied upon because it's so slanted.

While I am certain he is totally wrong about CS and homeopathy, to
name
just two, my opinions are because I did my homework, researching the
other side..........however, there are some sound articles on at
least a
couple of real quacks, for which research turned up no adequate
refutation of the info at the Barrett site.
NOTHING is all good or all bad. It is up to us to do the work to form
our own opinions. No offense to you personally, Marshall, but my
opinion
is it is as counter-productive to the search for truth to throw
out the
entire body of info at the Barrett site, as it is for him to throw
out
the whole of alternative medicine, etc.
