DESCRIPTION:Dr. Edzard Ernst has garnered fame as the first Professor of\nC
 omplementary Medicine in the world\, an appointment he held at the\nUniver
 sity of Exeter. Although his initial training was at a\nhomeopathic hospit
 al in Germany\, Dr. Ernst is now a vocal critic of\nhomeopathy and other f
 orms of alternative medicine that he\nconsiders not to be evidence-based. 
 He believes that Britain spends\nway too much on unproven and disproven al
 ternative therapies and\nadvocates research into the effectiveness\, safet
 y and cost of both\nalternative and complementary treatments. Dr. Ernst is
  no fan of\n“integrative” medicine\, which in his view is often passed off
  as\nthe “best of both worlds\,” but is often a cover for quackery. He is
 \na harsh critic of “detox” products and has come into direct\nconflict wi
 th Duchy Originals\, a company originally launched by\nPrince Charles\, wh
 ich Ernst claims ignores science in favour of\nmake-believe and superstiti
 on. “Trick or Treatment? Alternative\nMedicine on Trial\,” a best-seller c
 o-authored with Simon Singh\, is\nan entertaining and provocative appeal f
 or science-based\nmedicine.\nGeneral admission - limited seating\n
