I have been told by a friend that if you defrost food, just to room temperature, not using any heating methods such as microwaves, that if you re-freeze the food that you are seriously increasing your chances of food poisoning. Is re-freezing food a health risk?

I'm no expert but the way I was taught was. Beef- O.K. to refreeze. Pork -not O.K.

yes very much so, it should be cooked or defrosted in a refrigerator, then the left over portion can be refrozen

Yes, the most dangerous range is 40F to 140F. So if the food goes to room temperature, bacteria develop. Refreezing, puts those bacteria into dormant mode. They then produce toxins, when thawed out again. The safe thing would be to cook the food then re-freeze
