Canada's Quackbuster Files

Three decades inside the fight against health fraud in Canada

Canada's Quackbuster Files is Dr. Terry Polevoy's firsthand account of three decades spent investigating health fraud in Canada. Among the topics covered:

• Cancer “cures” sold across the Canada–Mexico border, including the Tijuana clinic circuit
• The Total Health Expo years — celebrity healers, miracle devices, and what happened backstage
• Stem cell clinics targeting elderly Canadians through hotel seminar recruitment
• The “health freedom” network — and the harassment campaign that came with challenging it
• How regulatory bodies and government repeatedly failed to act in any substantial way
• Three decades of complaints, lawsuits, and the paper trail connecting it all

The book opens with a phrase one of the book's major event organizers used to describe his own conduct: “excellent publicity.” By the end of the first chapter, you'll understand exactly what he meant.
