Stephen Barrett, M.D., a retired psychiatrist who lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has achieved national renown as an author, editor, and consumer advocate. He operates Quackwatch, a network of Web sites and mailing lists maintained by the Center for Inquiry (CFI), which focus on health frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct. His main goal is to provide quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere. CFI also also offers a Health Fraud Discussion List that has more than 600 members and Consumer Health Digest, a free weekly e-mail newsletter that summarizes scientific reports, legislative developments, enforcement actions, and other information relevant to consumer protection and consumer decision-making. Its primary focus is on health, but occasionally it includes non-health scams. Dr. Barrett is also a world-champion swimmer.
