A row with senior aide to Prince Charles five years ago has resulted in the imminent closure of one of the leading centres for alternative health research in the world, after it apparently ran out of funds.
This controversial incident occurred back in 2005, when Professor Ernst of the facility rubbished a report promoting alternative medicine. This upset Prince Charles’ private secretary, Michael Peat, who claimed Ernst had discussed a controversial document as part of his criticism. Due to this and the fact that the facility has not managed to secure adequate funding, it looks likely that it will soon be shut down.
The facility and Prof. Ernst himself have generated a great deal of controversy amongst alternative health practitioners in recent years, as the results generated from research have been generally negative. Ernst believes in testing alternative treatments in the same scientific way as standard medical practices, but claims he has found that therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic and iridology are ineffective and make little or no difference to the health of the patient.
