“…Eysenck (1991b, 1991c, 1992, 1994) has maintained that his results were not much different from some previous work in this field and that ‘several explicit or implicit replications of [the Heidelberg] studies show similar relationships’. I have been unable to obtain some of the references for this assertion (Baalen and Van De Vries, 1987; Ranchor et al, 1992; Van Beek, n.d.), but I urge interested readers to chase up those that are readily available (Dixon and Dixon, 1991; Kissen and Eysenck, 1962; Kune et al, 1991; Quander-Blaznick, 1991; Schmale and Iker, 1971; Schmitz, 1992; Shigehisa et al, 1989, 1991; Van Der Ploeg et al, 1989; Wirsching et al, 1981). Some of these studies are scientifically and, in my opinion, clinically important cross-sectional comparisons of a variety of psychosocial traits in patients who do and do not have malignancies.…”

During the 1980s and 1990s, Hans J Eysenck conducted a programme of research into the causes, prevention and treatment of fatal diseases in collaboration with one of his protégés, Ronald Grossarth-Maticek. This led to what must be the most astonishing series of findings ever published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature with effect sizes that have never otherwise been encounterered in biomedical research. This article outlines just some of these reported findings and signposts readers to extremely serious scientific and ethical criticisms that were published almost three decades ago. Confidential internal documents that have become available as a result of litigation against tobacco companies provide additional insights into this work. It is suggested that this research programme has led to one of the worst scientific scandals of all time. A call is made for a long overdue formal inquiry.

“…More important, for a proper evaluation of this work than these rather adversarial debates, are new contributions consisting of independent replications. It is known that the best indication of the validity of scientific findings is independent replication, and several successful such replications have been reported (e.g., Amelang & Schmidt-Rathjens, 1992;Bleiker, 1995;Fernandez-Ballesteros, Zamarron, Ruiz, & Sebastian, 1994;Larsson et al, 1995;Quander-Blaznick, 1991;Sandin, Chorot, Navas, & Santed, 1992;Santin, Chorot, Santed, & Jimenez, 1993;Schmitz, 1992Schmitz, , 1993Shigehisa, 1991;Shigehisa, Fukui, & Motraki, 1989. Clearly, the theories taken over from antiquity and adapted by Le Shan, 1977;Bahnson & Bahnson, 1969;and Grossarth-Maticek, 1976,b, 1986, 1989; when submitted to experimental analysis, stand up very well to such investigation.…”
