I am astounded that anyone in 2007, indeed anyone since 1945, can cite Nazi sponsored medical research as if it were a valid source of accurate information. It is morally repugnant and inherently untrustworthy. How can the editors of this journal permit this? (See references 9–12 of his commentary in this issue.)
However this is not the first time that Ernst has done this; he has done it in his Desktop Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine (first edition) for which I publicly criticised him in a review. He dropped the reference in the second edition but has returned to it in this article.
