As per
discussion on the fringe theories noticeboard. Seems to be promotional .
Although (as said on the noticeboard and previous deletion discussions) some of his research has been widely cited, the article as it is, is too promotional and would need a serious overhaul - I think a deletion and starting from scratch would be better if someone else wants to do this.
Keep – Article has been up for deletion in the past for starters. A quick search on Google confirms notability in his respective fields. Google Book results, for example, number in the dozens. Article is well sourced, just requires a cleanup. Thanks --

Comment - Very weird article. The problem seems to be that the current article is largely an attempt to promote information that wouldn't pass
WP:MEDRS, and I was unable to find good sources from a quick Google to meet
WP:BIO. However, I do think he meets
WP:NACADEMICS, probably both #1 and #7, for his work on thiamine. I'm not sure the article is bad enough to warrant
WP:TNT, but after stripping out the cruft I'm really not sure what remains; the person seems famous for promoting alternative/quack medicines, but we don't _seem_ to have any reliable sources supporting that perspective. Maybe older sources like
this (from the '80s!) can help.
