Tim O'Ranter as seen by Peter Bowditch

Peter Bowditch has often been the target of the miserable smear campaign by some of the worst quacks on the internet. The cancer quacks don't particularly like him. Peter tells it like it is, and after his recent visit to the U.S. from Australia he left with a really exciting series of tales, and pictures. Click here to visit Tim O'Ranter's Roost Part 2 - Tim O'Ranter's Roost Tim Bolen, spokesidiot for medical quacks, sends out an occasional email newsletter to "millions of health freedom fighters". These messages are a form of condensed mouth-foam and are usually quite entertaining. There was a rumour once that one of them contained something which was actually true, but it only turned out to be the publication date. Supporters of Bolen were able to prove that such a date existed, but this wasn't considered to be a real truth as there is only a limited set of possibilities. Some of the recipients of Tim's missives were annoyed because they had never asked to be drenched in spittle by a raving loon. These people complained and the anti-spam activists went into action. Tim was not pleased. The following correspondence was leaked to me. Julian and Don are from Spamcop. Quackpot views part 1 Quackpot views part 2 Quackpot views part 3

Tim Bolen & his flock

Who is he, and why does he do what he does, and believe what he believes?

Hulda Clark is a well-known author of non-peer reviewed books that claim to CURE any and ALL diseases.

Hulda Clark, a Canadian by birth, has never obtained a medical degree in any university. That means that she had to flee to Mexico to practice, away from regulators and consumer groups. She is also a self-proclaimed "naturopathic" practitioner and actually holds a real PhD. She never does say where or when she obtained her "naturopathic status". She also never tells us why she really left the research she was doing at a major Indiana university in the late 70s.

At the present time we believe that she still operates at a treatment facility in Tijuana, Mexico. She recommends very strange and unsubtantiated treatments for very serious health problems, without having expertise in the field.

Clark has authored four books which are sold in shrink-wrapped plastic in major book stores around the world. They all claim to CURE ALL diseases, like AIDS, Cancer, and hey, just ALL DISEASES.

She says that she has invented machines that can diagnose and treat those diseases. None of her studies have had peer review, none of her work has been published, and yet when her career was threatened in Indiana for practicing medicine without a license, who came to her rescue but Tim Bolen who does business as Jurimed with his wife Jan Bolen.

I have had personal dealings on the internet with Tim Bolen and his legion of Hulda Clark supporters around the world. I have been swarmed by groups of them at quack health expos, and most recently I have had my life threatened. I have been personally libeled and defamed by statements made by Mr. Bolen on the internet. These statements have been passed on by numerous known and unknown persons.

Tim Bolen organized a write in campaign to the medical regulators in Ontario because he felt strongly that I had something to do with the cancellation of an alternative medical radio program.

All of these allegations are part of a lawsuit against Tim Bolen's organization, The Hulda Clark group, and others. The following links are for information purposes only.

Defense of Biological Dentists

• Tim Bolen ran interference for Doug Phillips - in a West Palm Beach courtroom back in 2001. He was disciplined by the Florida Department of Health. Phillips enjoyed pulling more than just amalgams from his patients' mouths. Incidently, Phillips had no malpractice insurance, and had no assets. But who cared, he was a leading proponent of biologic dentistry. Why haven't other dental boards or regulators taken these proponents to court? Why haven't any of them been sited under RICO? The end result, after a lengthy court appeal, was the irrefutable fact that Doug Phillips had his license revoked permanently in April 2004.

• Biological Dentistry - Quackwatch.com's opinion by John E. Dodes, D.D.S. and Marvin Schissel, D.D.S Some dentists claim that facial pain and even pains throughout the body are caused by infected "cavities" within the jaw bones. These alleged problem areas are not apparent on x-ray films and are not treatable with antibiotics. They are not abscesses, cysts, or periapical lesions, all of which are detectable with x-rays. Certain dentists believe that they can somehow find these cavities and, by surgically scraping them out, cure the infection and resolve the pain. This alleged condition is called cavitational osteopathosis, neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis (NICO), or Ratner's bone cavities. Some practitioners even advocate rinsing the "cavity" with colloidal silver and administering chelation therapy and intravenous vitamin C. There is no scientific evidence to support these assertions or the diagnostic and treatment methods based on them.

• Tim Bolen on the Holistic Health Hour - WNJC - 1360 - February 14, 2000Tim was fresh on the case of Hulda Clark. She was waiting for her trial in Indiana. If you want to hear the story first hand of how Tim Bolen called up the family, and how he learned all there was to know about zappers and syncrometers and how to handle protection for his Dr. Clark, this is the place.

• "Holistic Dentistry": A Brief Overview - Quackwatch.com - Dr. Stephen Barrett, and Dr. William Jarvis A significant number of dentists have gone overboard in espousing pseudoscientific theories, particularly in the area of nutrition. "Holistic dentists" typically claim that disease can be prevented by maintaining "optimum" overall health or "wellness." In the dental office, this usually involves recommendations for expensive dietary supplements, a plastic bite appliance, and unnecessary replacement of amalgam fillings. John E. Dodes, D.D.S., an expert on dental quackery, has remarked that "wellness" is "something for which quacks can get paid when there is nothing wrong with the patient.

• Refutation of Clark's treatments - This declaration was filed by Peter W. Pappas, Ph.D, in F.T.C. v. Western Dietary Products Co (Skookum) et al. (C01-818R, W.D., Washington), a case in which the Federal Trade Commission sued a company that was marketing devices and herbal products based on the recommendations of Hulda Clark.
