Therefore, the claims in Quack Watch have been taken seriously by other doctors beyond Quack Watch.
Furthermore, Harvard's neurologists' bulletin board reports about the Schindler's neurologist:
If you do a medline search using his name, you will find that NO reliable medical journal has published his work.The St Petersburg's Times confirms the above:What this means is that, if he had evidence that he felt WOULD be scientifically proveable, and submitted that evidence, upon review by his peers it was found to be not valid.

Some patients said Hammesfahr's mixture of heart and blood pressure drugs worked wonders. But other doctors said nobody could tell whether his treatment works because he has not subjected his theory to controlled, scientific studies. He was mentioned on Quackwatch, a Web site focusing on fraud and quackery in medicine, and his articles were turned down by well-known medical journals.Is this controversial doctor the only neurologist that the Schindlers could find to support their case?
A reject by all the reputable medical journals and in probation by the State of Florida?
