Exclusive: Dr Adam Smith’s three-year defamation fight with naturopath is over
The Melbourne GP and Farrah Agustin-bunch have settled on 'mutually acceptable' terms.
The GP being sued by a high-profile US naturopath over videos debunking her dangerous health advice has confirmed the pair have reached a “mutually acceptable” out-of-court settlement.
For nearly three years, Dr Adam Smith has been preparing to defend allegations he defamed Farrah Agustin-Bunch, who markets various alternative therapies to some four million Facebook followers.
He says he has been working seven days a week in an attempt to cover at least some of his $700,000 in legal costs.
In a series of social media videos, the Melbourne GP pulled apart her advice — aimed at health illiterate patients in the Philippines, where Ms Agustin-Bunch once ran a cancer clinic.
