The most notable scholar of complementary medicine of the 20th and 21st centuries? Midgley 18:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

The PMS site being down currently, there's a nice little biography here. Elsevier Science I think counts as RS. Can't find a birth date. Tearlach 18:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

As of this instant Elsevier is undergoing essential maintenance! He was born and qualified and attained a medical professorship in Germany before being head-hunted over here, has qualifications in a variety of physical - some might say alternative - treatments. Maurice Laing (director of Laing construction, who constructed his Chair) deserves I guess a footnote if not his own page. I made some notes and lost them in a WP + Firefox incident, I can remake them. Midgley 21:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Laing construction, who constructed his Chair A picturesque image. Tearlach 11:53, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

One tries - WP:brilliant prose is it, may be permissible in talk pages. So strange no comp.med person had written this - given he is the first Prof of the subject, AFAICS. Still, I shall be content to fill in a nook or cranny here and there. 12:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

This page is very celibratory of Edzard Ernst and shows nothing of the controversy or criticism that surrounds his published work. John858995 (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles on Quackwatch mentioning him

• http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/altbraid.html by a Stanford prof of Medicine
• http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/Reviews/ernst.html about the Press, by Ernst
• http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/Reviews/fact.html A review of the journal - FACT by Stephen Barrett

QUakwatch is often attacked as being all written by Barrett - that is one out of three articls on this subject, and it is far from unusual for house staff or an editor to write a review of a journal. Midgley 09:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
