Almost exactly one year ago the following comment was posted on Wiley Watch (emphasis added):

The Patent office was sold to the Pharm companies. The National Institutes of Health who makes 'standard of care' in this country is in partnership with pharmaceutical companies. Congress directly funds NIH and who are they being paid by? The FDA has failed women so badly. GO WILEY!"

A few days ago the following testimonial was posted on a discussion thread about the Wiley Protocol (emphasis added):

I have been using the Protocol for 4 months. I am also using the testosterone on the program, I just added that 2 weeks ago and the Dr. made an adjustment and increased both my estrogen and progesterone application after my last blood tests as well. I am due to give more blood on the 12th and the 21st of next month so we'll see how the levels look. I'm still not quite right yet. BUT I can tell you that right off the bat within a week of starting this I stopped with those horrible night sweats and I could sleep again, I also notice that the brain fog is pretty much gone now. I fell a lot sharper and can concentrate better, the only problem is that I am having problems with my weight, which I always do and I'm not sure if its because of the hormones or not. My skin looks great, my hair looks better. If I could get my weight back under control I think I'd be HOME FREE and feeling great. Don't worry about the big drug companies trying to smear the Wiley protocol and her credentials, you do what you think is best for you. I've found that nobody is really an expert in any of this and common sense will prevail..GO WILEY!!

Go Wiley, indeed.

T.S. WILEY: Am I a degreed scientist? No.
LYNN SHERR: Are you a degreed anything?
WILEY: Yes. I... I... attended a B.A. program in anthropology at a university in St. Louis.
SHERR: But you claim to have a degree in anthropology and in fact you never got that degree, did you?
WILEY: I'm not sure.

SHERR: We are. Webster College told us that the day Wiley posed for this commencement photo displayed on her website, she received only a blank piece of paper and never got a diploma.

When you earn a college degree, there is no difficulty proving it. That's part of the whole idea. And forgetting whether or not you did? Does that ever happen by accident?

The Truth About T.S. Wiley's Credentials
Followup on Wiley's Credentials

New York Times Scrutinizes Somers & Wiley Protocol

T.S. Wiley is a confirmed college dropout:

• consulting with patients apart from and without respect to their doctors,
• listening to their symptoms,
• on the basis thereof telling them precisely how to dose the medications prescribed by their doctors,
• and then telling them to follow up with her on the results.

And she insists with rolling eyes that she's not "prescribing".

From a Wiley Protocol support meeting.

Women experimenting with the Wiley Protocol continue to report unfavorable results:

I have been on the Wiley Protocol for 6 months and am experiencing symptoms such as belly weight gain, hair loss, bloating, etc.

Being on the protocol (which i followed exactly) really messed up my endocrine system. I went off of it after 4.5 months because it was making me physically ill.

I have been on the Wiley Protocol three to four months now and I think that I am dying!!

These are women who have recently tried the Wiley Protocol. Any claims that the problems with the Wiley Protocol are due to product/pharmacy issues or any other excuse from years ago cannot possibly be true.

Not surprisingly, you're unlikely to get the full story from a Wiley Protocol support meeting:

I would suggest you attend a few of the Wiley support groups, if you have one in your area. Wiley desperately bad mouths people whom the protocol has made ill, as well as the doctors and pharmacists that refuse to work with her any more (and that, to me, pretty much says a lot about who she is). If she truly knew her protocol worked, and was secure in her knowledge base, she would explain why you are having the symptoms (the science behind it, etc) and not just bad mouth people [who] reported issues with the protocol (or not call them back to help them out).

In those meetings she will tell you what to do to relieve the symptoms you are reporting (without having lab work or knowing your history) and it seems she thinks it is okay to practice medicine without a license because she usually has one doctor on the conference call with her. However, please keep in mind that the doctor on the other side of the line also does not know you, does not know your labs, nor your history, and seems to feel that her license is not on the line for prescribing changes to your treatment without consulting your physician.

Interestingly enough, the support group I attended refused to give out the email addresses or the phone numbers of the other participants even after we all agreed we would like to share. We assume this refusal is because we were all having problems. We exchanged numbers in private, after the meetings concluded. Once we found out how many others were also having the same problems, the drop out rate began to flow. [emphasis added]

Other testimonials indicate that trying to hide adverse information from women on the Wiley Protocol isn't limited to support meetings:

My doctor literally said 'Don't read the Rhythmic Living or Wiley Watch sites.' Oh how I wish I [had]. But I wanted the easy answer. Who knew it would make my life more complicated? ... I'm afraid words like 'moron' and 'pile of drek' may come out of my mouth when describing the said inventor of the protocol.

However, some of the professionals are exhibiting ethics:

I just started working at a Wiley-certified pharmacy and am worried about these high doses I am dispensing to women.

Other recent testimonials:

I was on the Wiley Protocol for a month-June 2007 and have had nothing but problems since. I need to find some answers and get my life back.

I am a personal trainer, calorie counter, nutrition guru, etc. I was only on the Wiley Protocol for 6 weeks but have had permanent weight gain and hormone problems due to this AWFUL protocol. The sad thing is, my doctor was very knowledgeable in other areas, so I trusted 'him' when starting the Wiley Protocol.... I am still affected by this awful Wiley hormone regimen nearly 2 years later. I am planning to get liposuction since I have tried excessive cardio, dieting, other hormones, any other means possible to lose the weight gained on Wiley.

Every time I think about 'the book' (Sex, Lies, and Menopause), I feel like trashing it, burning it, selling it or just plain getting it out of my sight because I'm so embarrassed for being sucked in and don't even want it in my library. Now that I have a clear head, the propaganda in it is obvious. I feel stupid for following such a ridiculous scheme. But at the same time, I know how vulnerable i was. I was very sick. I couldn't make a rational decision to save my life, and this decision practically ruined it. I cannot imagine "pushing" through this for a year.

I gained 16 lbs on the Wiley Protocol, 8 lbs in the first month!! This occurred without changing my diet. Of course, Wiley told me in one of the support groups that it would come off itself and to hang in there with it as my body adjusted. I waited and the only thing that occurred (weight wise) was that I gained another 8lbs on top of the first. So much for my body adjusting to being given progesterone in excess.
...
By the end of the first month I had gained 8 lbs, but I was somewhat 'okay' with that if my joints were better and that was all the weight I would gain. No such luck, gained more and more (even though i was told by Wiley and Caren that it would go away soon). This 'input' from them was similar to Caren telling me that the linea negra was nothing to worry about and that it is 'your body adjusting'.

My sister started the Wiley Protocol last month. Recently things have come up that make me question its ethics and effectiveness.

I used the Wiley Protocol for a mere 6 weeks but had devastating problems. What started as an effort to boost my low estrogen became my journey through hell.

Happy Holidays

Here is what my grandfather from Russia taught me - those who love us, love us. Those who don't, may the good lord turn their hearts. But if he can't turn their hearts, he should turn their ankles so we can recognize them by their limp.

I hope you have a happy and healthy new year. And don't forget to soak your ankle. Neil Raden (talk) 04:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE:

I saw that you added the above to Wiley Watch, presumably because you interpretted it as an insult, or at least something you could mock. Pity. I thought that for one day of the year we could lay down our weapons and just be civil. I guess I was wrong. Neil Raden (talk) 20:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

T.S. Wiley's landlord wants her, her husband Neil Raden, and family out of the house they're renting from him according to an article on the Santa Barbara Noozhawk.

The owner of the 27-room mansion in Santa Barbara, Lanny Ebenstein, says he wants them gone because their $9000 rent payments were habitually late. He says the lease expired in June and yet, even after a 90-day extension expiring September 30, they refuse to leave. He also claims they and their relatives have been sued 45 to 50 times for nonpayment of debt.

Wiley and Raden dispute these claims and allege that they are being illegally evicted out of retaliation, but Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge William McLafferty threw their arguments out of court as irrelevant. They say they will appeal the ruling.

Meanwhile, one of my sources informs me that they are planning to move to Santa Fe at the end of the month.

UPDATE:
Indeed T.S. Wiley and Neil Raden are no strangers to the Santa Barbara Superior Court system. I searched the court's records and found 30 separate cases naming them as defendants over the last eighteen years -- ten against T.S. Wiley, eleven against Neil Raden, and nine naming both as defendants, including Mr. Ebenstein's. That's about one lawsuit filed against either or both of them per seven months.

UPDATE - 11/20/07:
It appears they've reached an understanding with their landlord. Neil Raden forwarded me the following e-mail:

From: Eric Berg
Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 10:03 AM
To: T.S. Wiley
Subject: Talking points

"We reached a resolution with Ebenstein on Friday where we will be remaining in the house under the current lease terms."

I think that's it.

Eric Berg
Attorney At Law
Hatch & Parent, A Law Corporation
[remainder trimmed]

"Talking points". Hmm.

Somehow I doubt that Mr. Ebenstein would agree to the prior lease terms after receiving a ruling in his favor and given the animosity that's been aired out. And I know that "current" and "prior" need not denote the same thing.

(Given the closing "I think that's it", I wonder if there may have been other "talking points" -- whether this e-mail was edited before it was forwarded to me.)

UPDATE - 11/21/07:
I've corrected some minor inaccuracies and adjusted some wording for precision.

T.S. Wiley is scheduled to appear on the radio program, "Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy", next Thursday, September 13.

It's an Atlanta radio show about weight loss and fitness. You can tune in alongside us to learn what T.S. Wiley has to say on the subject. The show airs live at 7:30 PM EDT, 4:30 PM Pacific.

A new service emerged just a few days ago that helps to identify who is responsible for changes to Wikipedia, the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit". It's called WikiScanner. Already a number of interesting changes have been dug up thanks to this. Diebold appears to have deleted unsavory information about their voting machines and their fund-raising for President Bush. Scientology computers have been used to remove criticism on the church's page. BBC got caught changing "George Walker Bush" to "George Wanker Bush". FOX News has been caught making edits about Al Franken.

As I once pointed out to T.S. Wiley's husband, Neil Raden (a computer consultant): "You're not nearly as anonymous on the Internet as you think." (This was after we caught Neil Raden posting messages and e-mails under fake names -- what's known as "sock puppetry".)

So have there been any anonymous changes to Wikipedia originating from the T.S. Wiley household? Yes, more than just a few:

Click on the links in the "diff" column to see what was added, changed, or removed.

Besides the expected attempts to slant the Wiley Protocol story, you'll find some interesting contributions to articles on Neil Raden's competitors (we assume) -- Bill Inmon and Claudia Imhoff -- in the Business Intelligence field.

T.S. Wiley has a new Internet radio show called "The Wiley Health Watch with T.S. Wiley". Seems pretty sparse so far but I'm sure it'll soon be filled with insight.

She's in good company there at BigMediaUSA. Browsing the featured content, there is Revvell P. Revati who has a show in which she "interviews successful people, many of whom you've seen in movies such as 'The Secret' and who you'll be seeing in the upcoming movie 'Pass It On'. Learn how to celebrate your potential in every aspect of your life!"

If you've ever wanted to celebrate your potential or are wondering what that could possibly mean, now you know where to go.

For animal lovers, right there on the front page you'll find "My Pet Station", a show about "Empowering People through Relationship with Dogs!"

Another featured station is called, "Mind, Body, Spirit, YOU". The channel is "You" (how flattering), and the show is "Life Lessons from Your Soul". (The hierarchy is station, then channel, then show. I hope you're taking notes or else you're never going to find this content again.) At any rate, "Your soul is your teacher. Your personality is your student. How are you doing in Earth School? Connect with your soul purpose with intuitive therapist Dr. Meg, your global voice for the soul. Begin to live on purpose now!"

I wasn't aware that the soul even had a global voice, much less that it's Dr. Meg.

T.S. Wiley hasn't made it to the front page yet but if, like her and these other people, you have thoughts and want to host your own show on BigMediaUSA, just click here (or click on the big "Feature Your Business" banner on the front page) to become a show host and:
