The State of Wisconsin Department of Regulation & Licensing (DRL) has, officially, dumped the "quackbusters" as their consultant on health care issues. This ends a ten year reign-of-terror within Wisconsin where, previously, health care investigators, and prosecutors had been trained to use the dubious website "quackwatch.com," or "ncahf.org" as resources for health information. A CBS News "I-Team" report, titled "State Drops Case Against Alternative Medicine Doctor," pretty well sums up the end of the quackbuster reign in Wisconsin State health politics. The TV broadcast started out to say "The Wisconsin Medical Examining Board unanimously voted by phone Friday to put an end to the state's nine-year-old case against a Green Bay doctor." Then it said "It's a victory for freedom of choice, and I think it's a victory for complimentary and alternative medicine and, quite frankly, I think it's a victory for Dr. Kadile, personally," CBS, previously, in a two-part special investigative report, had hammered the quackbuster operation. The Wisconsin State Journal, the State capital's leading newspaper, had even more to say about the quackbusters' Wisconsin demise. In an article titled "Board Allows Chelation Therapy" by health reporter Patricia Simms, who, earlier, had been threatened with a lawsuit by quackbuster Robert Baratz, The Journal reported that "The case reflects a national battle fiercely fought between alternative and complementary medicine advocates and those who deride procedures not used in traditional Western practice. Still to be decided by Administrative Law Judge John N. Schweitzer: who will pay the costs of the prosecution, including at least $65,840 in expert witness fees charged by Robert Baratz, a Boston dentist and doctor." They also said "Federal officials estimate that at least 800,000 visits to receive chelation therapy are made in the United States every year."
