Erik Enby

Erik Ossian Hugo Enby (born in 1937) is a former Swedish medical doctor and specialist in the field of geriatrics who has become known for his controversial research on the cause of diseases.

Biography

Enby was born 12 May 1937 in Karlskrona, Sweden. His father was a sea-captain in the merchant navy, and his mother a graduate of the Royal College of Music. In his youth, Enby studied the Classics, natural-science subjects and music. In 1962, he began to study medicine in Heidelberg. In 1967, Enby returned to Sweden and continued his medical education. In 1973 he was authorized as a licensed physician by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, but his license was revoked in 2007.

From 1973 to 1974 Enby worked at a dermatology clinic in Gothenburg. In 1974 he began clinical studies, and he then became interested in alternative medicine. He gathered more knowledge and information in this field through specialist literature and on study tours in the United States and Germany. In 1977 Enby opened a private medical practice to explore new forms of therapy. As it turned out, there were many opportunities to help patients who could not find a remedy for their illnesses in the established medical care, and his grew. In addition, he had his work at the University Clinic for Geriatrics at [http://www2.sahlgrenska.gu.se/geriatrik/geriatrik.html Sahlgrenska University Hospital] in Gothenburg, where he was in charge of a ward with various policlinical duties. In 1980 he became a specialist in the field of geriatrics including internal medicine. Eventually, he also became a general practitioner. He retired from [http://sahlgrenska.se/vgrtemplates/Page____27536.aspx Sahlgrenska University Hospital] in 2004. In 1979-1980 Enby became interested in the definitions of “health”, “illness” and “death”. His idea is that an illness must be a special condition arising in the tissues. These ideas made it impossible for him to participate whole-heartedly in the research work at the clinic where he was employed, because he found that the research he was interested in lay in a different direction. After a while he developed his method of research, and for decades spent all his leisure time working on his theory. He explains what he means by "health", "illness" and "death" with the aid of microbe-like formations he has found in patients' blood. His analyses are based on blood microscopy work carried out by the professor in zoology, Günther Enderlein, towards the end of his life. In addition to his own research, Enby managed to continue his work at the hospital.

In 2007 Enby's medical license was revoked because of his pseudoscientificic methods of treating cancer patients, as it is illegal in Sweden to claim to be able to treat certain serious illnesses using methods that have no scientific basis.

Enby's research

Enby is primarily known for his work with blood and his theories about the origins of diseases.Since the late 1970s, Enby has carried out independent research on the nature of illness and the phenomenon of chronic illness. His research is based on the idea that illness is caused by pleomorphic microbiological growth. Could the symptom picture of different illnesses be traced back to a common denominator? He claims that his work confirms that most of the chronically ill have growing structures in blood and solid tissues, not described earlier in modern medical research. The medical community has not accepted his results since he has not been able to provide evidence for his case. The Ethical Committee of the University of Gothenburg approved Enby's research in 1983, and he is officially allowed to take blood tests to go ahead with his research. [(Project no. 214-83. "The Ethical Committee of the Medical Faculty, University of Gothenburg, found the analysis of blood and blood plasma regarding the variation of an unknown possible pathogenetic factor in the disease panorama, ethically acceptable.”)]
