        Barrett is being sued for a variety things from fraud to harassment. It
only takes following the money trail to see his motivation for attacking
everything non medical.
        Medicine is about as far from science as one can get, nonetheless, groups
such as the AMA claim that every other form of health care they don't
control to be exactly what they are: unscientific, biased, greedy,
uncaring, fraudulent, and deadly.
