Grauniad has a story about a German professor of medicine in the UK who dares to challenge Prince Charles' 'alternative medicine' racket. Apparently the Prince is peddling his own brand of cowdung and herbs and. Herr Doktor begged to disagree that this is doing anyone any good and was ostracised.
I think Charles should have a huge enema of his own herbal concoction. Idiot.But it was a complaint from Prince Charles's principal private secretary five years ago that nearly cost Ernst his job. The letter, sent by Sir Michael Peat in his capacity as chair of the Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health, accused Ernst of violating a confidentiality agreement in relation to the publication of a report. Prince Charles denies having anything to do with the letter personally, and Ernst was cleared by a subsequent inquiry. But Ernst believes the power of the royal family has distorted public policy in relation to complementary medicine, and does not plan to let the subject drop.
