Doesn't that make you doubt his authenticity?
Yes, it does make me doubt his authenticity. But I also doubt Wikipedia's authenticity for using Stephen Barrett as a source to discredit Null. Read my opening link!!!!

The book "Death By Medicine" does not recommend any particular lifestyle, products or alternative medicine. In many cases this book quotes CDC statements and statistics.

For example: In 2008, Dr. Lauri Hicks, a CDC medical director, warned that, "Antibiotic overuse is a serious problem and a threat to everyone's health."

Also in his book: CDC Estimated 10-year Mortality Rate due to hospital infections: .99 million, Cost: $5 billion+

Then there were other statistics of Medical Interventions that brought the total deaths up to 794,936 annually.
