In February, 2003, I filed suit against Tedd Koren, D.C., a Pennsylvania chiropractor who had described me as "de-licensed" and a "quackpot" in a newsletter he distributed to 20,000 people. He also said that I was in trouble because a "racketeering' suit (described below) had been filed against me. In July 2004, an arbitration panel composed of three attorneys awarded me $6,500 in general damages and $10,000 in punitive damages. Koren's report was based on a Bolen "news release." Koren's answers during a deposition indicated that he neither knew nor cared whether what he said was true. The arbitrators also ordered Koren to publish a retraction. However, Koren appealed and, after 3 days of trial, the judge ruled that I had failed to present sufficient evidence that he had acted with "reckless disregard of the truth." Chirobase has the full story of the suit and a copy of the deposition.
