Английская Википедия:Hippocrates Health Institute
Шаблон:Infobox alternative medicine Шаблон:Alternative medicine sidebar The Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI) is a nonprofit organization in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA, originally co-founded in 1956 in Stoneham, Massachusetts, by Lithuanian-born Viktoras Kulvinskas and Ann Wigmore.[1]
The Hippocrates Health Institute is regarded as controversial for supposedly treating cancer with unproven natural methods that are implausible despite claims otherwise.[2][3]
In February and March 2015, cease-and-desist orders were issued against co-directors Brian and Anna-Maria Clement, both of whom represented themselves as doctors, requiring them to immediately cease the unlicensed practice of medicine.[4][5] The Florida Department of Health formally informed Hippocrates Health Institute that it has subsequently withdrawn and dismissed the cease-and-desist orders due to lack of sufficient evidence.[6][7][8]
Brian Clement and his institute have been criticized for promoting a number of ineffective treatments, including ones claimed to "reverse" cancer and multiple sclerosis. Clement is not a medical doctor and his treatments have been widely criticized as ineffective and possibly dangerous.[9][10][11] Former staff members of the institute have filed suit against Brian Clement for being fired after raising concerns about ethical wrongdoing in treating patients at the center.[12]
