[[1962]]), was a member of the [[National Anti-Vaccination League]] and the [[Animal Defence and Anti-Vivisection Society]]. In his book ''Schick Inoculation Against Diphtheria'', he argued against [[diphtheria]] vaccination{{Fact|date=February 2007}} on the basis{{Fact|date=February 2007}} of its dangers and the incorrect belief that diphtheria was not caused by ''[[Corynebacterium diphtheriae]]''. Reciting the details required to understand the cure for [[pernicious anemia]] he presented them in his ''Anaemia and Pernicious Anaemia'', as an attack on scientific research, dwelling upon the nastiness of eating raw liver (now known to provide the poorly absorbed [[vitamin B12]] in high concentrations) and claiming that illumination with ultra-violet light cleaned the blood of the root cause of the disease. Other people's work continued with the elucidation of the demonstration of the [[intrinsic factor]] necessary for the vitamin's absorption) in [[stomach|gastric]] juice{{Fact|date=August 2007}}, simple and effective treatment with B12{{Fact|date=August 2007}} and a [[Nobel prize]]{{Fact|date=August 2007}}.
