I'll agree that Don Lapre is a fraud, but some of the people listed on
Quackwatch.org as quacks are legitimate. The most glaring examples would
have to be Professor Ivy who was blackballed in the 1950s, beginning
practically the day he made a public anouncement about a "cure":

and Hoxsey who cured thousands who were written off by mainstream
medicine:

Today it's a crime to say cure for cancer without chemotherapy!!
