Albert Abrams (1863–1924) was an American doctor, well known during his life for inventing machines which he claimed could diagnose and cure almost any disease. These claims were challenged from the outset. Towards the end of his life, and again shortly after his death, many of his machines and conclusions were demonstrated to be intentionally deceptive or false. ==Biography== Albert Abrams was born in San Francisco December 8, 1863, although different other dates have also been reported .〔(JAMA. 1922;78(14):1072-1073. doi:10.1001/jama.1922.02640670058034 )〕 On October 8, 1878 he inscribed at Medical College of the Pacific, worked as an assistant of Prof. Douglass and Prof. Hirschfelder, and got a medical degree on October 30, 1881. Then he went to Heidelberg, Germany, and graduated there in November 1882 〔(Curriculum Vitae, hand-written by Albert Abrams, Heidelberg, 1881 )〕 before undertaking further studies in London, Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. According to Wilson ,〔(Wilson, Stanford University School of Medicine and the Predecessor Schools: An Historical Perspective )〕 Albert Abrams was awarded an M. D. by the Cooper College in 1883. He served on the teaching staff of the College for a total of fourteen years - five years (1885-1889) as Demonstrator of Pathology; four years (1890-1893) as Adjunct to the Chair of Clinical Medicine and Demonstrator of Pathology; and five years (1894-1898) as Professor of Pathology. He was elected vice-president of the California State Medical Society in 1889 and was made president of the San Francisco Medico-Chirurgical Society in 1893. In the beginning of the 1900s he had become a respected expert in neurology. From 1904 he was president of the Emanuel Polyclinic in San Francisco.〔(Russell, Edward, Report on Radionics, (London: Neville Spearman), p. 17 )〕 Albert Abrams published numerous books from 1891 to 1923 .〔(Albert Abrams, List of published books on openlibrary.org )〕 He died January 13, 1924, from a broncho-pneumonia in San Francisco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert Abrams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
