Subject: Your Professional Qualifications in CAM

Dear Professor Ernst,

In view of the recent publicity for your new book, 'Trick or Treatment', many people are absolutely longing to know your exact qualifications in CAM therapies, if you have any!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=557946&in_page_id=1774

Since you are 'the only professor of complementary medicine' in the UK, don't you think it would be appropriate that you produce EVIDENCE of these qualifications?  Despite a thorough search on the internet, none can be found by anyone.

(And though you repeatedly deride homeopathy, working in a Homeopathic Hospital is not EVIDENCE of any qualification in homeopathy).

Perhaps my logic is flawed but I would have thought that the very minimum requirement for a 'professor of complementary medicine', even if you are the only one in the UK and especially if you are the only one in the UK, would be some qualifications in the subject.

SHOW US THE EVIDENCE!

Otherwise we can only be left to assume that you are working for the medical establishment, the pharmaceutical companies, the EU or all three.  If not, who are you working for with your zealous mission to denigrate CAM?!

VANITY FAIR – MAY 2008 Investigation

***Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear

by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele May 2008

Since the 1980s, Monsanto has become the world leader in genetic modification of seeds and has won 674 biotechnology patents, more than any other company, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

As recently as 1980, no genetically modified crops were grown in the U.S.   In 2007, the total was 142 million acres planted. Worldwide, the figure was 282 million acres.

The company has a staff devoted to enforcing patents and litigating against farmers.

Phitsanulok - three tonnes of corn seeds dumped contain poison - Bangkok Post (no weblink)

Monsanto admits dumping seeds
CHINNAWAT SINGHA

Agri-giant Monsanto Thailand denies the three tonnes of corn seeds it discarded on farmland in Phitsanulok were genetically modified, but admits they were coated with chemicals. The local environment office says the chemical coating could harm the soil and any animals which eat the seeds.
The manager of the Monsanto factory in Wang Thong district, Atipong Chatchawal, made the admission in an explanatory document he handed to the local environment office yesterday.
Local farmers earlier complained about a stench emanating from piles of corn seeds left on a rai of land in Ban Rong Bom.
In the document, Mr Atipong said the seeds were not genetically modified but were substandard seeds that the company decided were not fit for sale and had to be disposed of.
The seeds were coated with anti-fungal and anti-weevil chemicals including metalaxyl, carbosulfan and captan as well as a red coating, he said.
The coatings were to prolong the storage life of the seeds. He insisted the chemicals would not contaminate soil or water, as they were present in very small amounts.
The disposal process involves burying the seeds and when the seedlings grow from the buried seeds the land would normally be ploughed over.
Mr Atipong said a contractor had dumped the seeds on the ground and did not proceed further.
He promised his company would finish the process.
However, Phitsanulok environmental official Decha Ngarmnikulchalin said the facts were that Monsanto had actually dumped expired seeds on other people's land.
The company hired a non-commissioned policeman to get a local landowner to accept the waste, he said. The chemicals could kill organisms in the soil and animals which eat the corn seeds.
He accused the company of trying to cut costs by not hiring a professional disposal firm.
Local environmentalist Chatree Chaiyawong said he believed the company had no intention to complete the disposal process in the first place. It had resorted to abandoning its waste many months ago.
He wondered why the discarded seeds had not been buried on the company's own land if they were really as safe as claimed.
Local authorities will test the water in the area for any sign of contamination and inform local people of the danger posed by the expired seeds and the potential danger from the chemicals in the seed coating.
