Since 1997

Eric W. Manheimer PhD has been working in the field of systematic reviews since 1997.

Systematic reviews can evaluate conventional medical treatments to determine if they do more good than harm. Systematic reviews can also evaluate the evidence for alternative treatments such as  acupuncture and the Paleolithic diet. Eric has been involved with the systematic review movement full-time for 23 years. He's been mentored by leading systematic review methodologists including Doug Altman, Barker Bausell, Lex Bouter, Sir Iain Chalmers, Edzard Ernst, Zbys Fedorowicz,  Jeanette Ezzo, SR Narahari (evidence-based Ayurveda), and Danielle van der Windt.
