Re: Rumor has it...

Here's the case:


12. After Plaintiffs applied for FDA approval in 2001, and at all
times hence to the present day, Quackwatch, NCAHF, Barrett, Baratz, Dodes,
and Schissel disseminated and published on the internet and in other media
to the public, including Aetna., among others, the Dodes & Schissel Paper
and other information regarding the use and efficacy of diagnostic tools,
such as the CAVITAT, in the detection of infected cavities within jaw bones,
a condition termed neuralagia inducing cavitational osteonecrosis ("NICO").


13. Specifically, said these entities and persons asserted
that there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of NICO as a
medical condition or the diagnostic methods used to identify the medical
condition. They asserted that dental practice which engages the diagnosis
of NICO is fraudulent and that the submission of insurance claims for such
practice is insurance fraud and is a violation of dental licensing
requirements. These assertions were false and misleading and defamatory.
