This is the testimony of Ted Koren, the person that Barret sued. In it, in the highlighted text, it is revealed that Barrett was NOT delicensed. Koren heard it from Bolen and never checked it out. It's funny, because Koren did the SAME thing with HIS license too. Under cross-examination, Barrett's lawyer gets Koren to say that Koren had let his license expire by not paying the fee. Later, when asked what *delicensed* meant, he said that it was when you are no longer in good standing with the licensing board. That was the SAME thing he had done; by that standard, Koren was also delicensed. Some highlights:

"Q. Are you still licensed in both states?

A. Let my West Virginia license lapse.

Q. When you say you let your license lapse in West Virginia, what do you mean?

A. I didn't continue paying the fees, I didn't take the postgraduate education that they required.

Q. Well, were you delicensed by West Virginia?

A. No. No. Probably still there; I Just stopped paying the fees.

Q. Okay. So that was a voluntary decision on your part, West Virginia didn't delicense you and involuntarily take your license away from you?

A. Correct.

Q. You just let it lapse?

A. Correct. "


"Q. Sitting here today, do you have any information that Dr. Stephen Barrett was ever delicensed by the state of Pennsylvania or any place else in the United States of America?

A. No Information firsthand.

Q. Do you have any secondhand information other than what you've provided us?

A. Only the material that I've gotten from the sources I've mentioned. "



"Q. Do you know how to check a license of a professional health care worker here in Pennsylvania?

A. No.

Q. You don't?

A. I haven't ever done it. "



"Q. So the terminology "delicensed" you attribute to Tim Bolen?

A. Correct.

Q. And you are saying you're not even sure exactly what it means?

A. I used his statements.

Q. But when I talked about your license in West Virginia, you were sure that you were not delicensed?

A. I, actually I'm not.

Q. Now you're not sure.

A. Well, if you're using it, a very specific legal term, I don't know what the status is. It could be dellcensed, it could be unlicensed. I have no idea."






"Q. In other words, he's telling you: I'm just like you in West Virginia, I let my license lapse, let it go into inactive status?

A. If he's being truthful and it's an honest representation. But I don't know Dr. Barrett, and like I said, I got it from various sources that his license was dellcensed, his, he was delicensed.

Q. Well, are you trying to tell us today that you still believe he was delicensed?

A. if you're telling me it's a technical legal term, then I'd have to investigate it further and find out exactly how it's used so I use it accurately and properly. "

How dare you go to the record for the facts, and not simply take the word of Barrett's enemies? What a fascist thing to do. Fascist.

Your comments are inaccurate, and your intention here is clearly deception. Why do you attempt to defend a charletan like Barrett?

Not that personal anecdotes really prove anything one way or another, but my late uncle was a chiropractor and a firm believer in nutritional therapies. He developed colon cancer and refused to have surgery, chemo or radiation. He was convinced that he could cure himself with the nutritional therapies he'd been pushing on his patients for years. He died a year after he was diagnosed. He also believed that you could "read" a person's physical health based upon which fingers tremble when you hold your hand out with the fingers extended.

And this is sort of apropos of nothing, but along the lines of the "dehydrated toad urine" thread...one of the supplements he tried to get my grandmother (his mother) to take after she had to be moved to an asisted care facility was based on dehydrated bovine urine and other parts. Fortunately, she still had enough of her faculties left to refuse.

The Foundation for Health Choice is an anti-immunization and pro-chiropractic lobbying organization. It's unsurprising they'd be critical of Barret, because Barret also runs Chirobase.org, a site critical of chiropractors.
