Legal Defense Fund

In 2017, I was sued in Germany for defamation by an American naturopath who treats cancer patients with intravenous baking soda and vitamin C.  In 2018, the German court ruled entirely in my favor. The deadline to appeal the court’s decision has passed,and I have won the case outright. My legal costs were supported through an international fundraising effort organized by Australian Skeptics, Inc.

To read more about the legal case, please see this blog post. To learn more about the fundraising campaign, please visit the ASI website.
