Poor Jan... sucking the hind [censored] again.
Mercola lost...admitted he didn't check the veracity of Bolen's claims..
removed the web page...paid $50,000 for Barrett's legal fees.
It was all settled amicably but Jan has to keep the animosity alive.
How sad.

Libel suit settled. The libel suit involving Stephen Barrett, M.D., and a
physician who disseminated a libelous message about him has been settled
amicably. The defendant is an osteopathic physician who practices family
medicine in Schaumburg, Illinois, and operates a heavily trafficked Web
site. The suit arose after the defendant posted an article by Patrick "Tim"
Bolen which falsely stated that Barrett (a) was de-licensed, (b) had
committed extortion, and (c) had been disqualified as an expert in a
malpractice suit. In settling the case, the defendant acknowledged that he
had investigated these allegations and concluded that he could not
substantiate them. The settlement also included payment of $50,000 to
Barrett for legal expenses. Bolen issued his article while serving as a
"publicist" for Hulda Clark, an unlicensed naturopath who claims she can
cure cancer and other diseases with herbs and a simple electrical device.

campaign.
