Text of the page (random words):
to disseminate his ideas about evening primrose oil and fatty acids 14 popular science edit in the popular science book the madness of adam and eve 2001 horrobin outlined his hypothesis that schizophrenia contributed to the evolution of modern humans according to horrobin fat metabolism was altered as humans evolved from other primates leading to early humans with schizophrenia these humans were more creative and did not experience as much physical pain as others 41 horrobin suggested that the genes for schizophrenia are responsible for most of the religious sense most of the technical and artistic creativity and most of the leadership qualities of modern human beings 42 the madness of adam and eve was one of six books shortlisted for the 2002 aventis prize now the royal society prizes for science books the prize was won that year by stephen hawking s the universe in a nutshell 43 reviews of the book were mixed writing of a useful contribution that was also highly partisan and selective 41 an engaging and plausible argument that is not so convincingly argued 42 and a book brightly written but with a huge hole in its central premise 44 horrobin was somewhat critical of his theory describing it as a just so story perhaps fed by my own personal delusions 45 the book was compared unfavorably to similar works by kay redfield jamison who examines a possible link between bipolar disorder and artistic creativity 42 tim crow a professor of psychiatry at oxford university who had proposed a similar theory in 1995 accused horrobin of failing to acknowledge crow s contributions to the development of his ideas when novelist sebastian faulks stated that horrobin s ideas influenced his novel human traces published in 2005 crow protested that much of the credit for his theory has been misdirected by faulks to the late maverick doctor and writer david horrobin 46 death and obituary controversy edit in 2001 horrobin was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma he died of pneumonia as a complication of this cancer in 2003 horrobin was survived by his wife sherri clarkson and two children from a previous marriage 9 a number of obituaries were published both in medical journals such as the lancet 47 and horrobin s prostaglandins leukotrienes and essential fatty acids 12 and in the popular press 9 28 most obituaries referred to horrobin as a highly intelligent creative and persuasive individual according to the telegraph horrobin was a founding father of the biotechnology industry and regarded by some as one of britain s finest original thinkers in medicine but the same obituary also noted that horrobin s implication of fatty acid metabolism in schizophrenia was not accepted by other scientists that his approach was unorthodox and unpopular and that his major business venture failed 9 the many problems at scotia under horrobin s leadership which led to the company s eventual collapse were a theme in several obituaries 28 including two highly critical and controversial accounts written by former horrobin colleague caroline richmond and published in the british medical journal bmj 15 and the independent 11 the bmj obituary sparked a months long controversy 5 12 13 14 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 the obituary described horrobin as effortlessly prolific and one of the most persuasive people on earth but also criticised him as excessively promoting evening primrose oil despite a lack of scientific evidence noting that some critics questioned his ethics it suggested that horrobin may prove to be the greatest snake oil salesman of his age stating that his evening primrose oil would go down in history as the remedy for which there is no disease and reporting that several of scotia s product licences were later withdrawn because the drugs were ineffective 15 the obituary generated the largest e mail response to an obituary in the history of the bmj 55 respondents including horrobin s colleagues friends and family were largely critical of the negative tone of the obituary 56 on behalf of horrobin s family horrobin s son in law adam kelliher filed a complaint with the british press complaints commission alleging that the bmj obituary was inaccurate and intrusive at a time of grief in violation of the code of practice 57 kelliher was founder and at the time chief executive of equazen a company marketing fish and evening primrose oils including a formulation called eye q said to improve scholastic ability in children however in his initial complaint to the bmj kelliher stated that he had no competing interests in reaction the bmj published an apology to horrobin s family expressing regret for any distress caused the journal corrected what its editor considered several insignificant 58 spelling and factual errors and published three further obituaries of horrobin however the journal also defended its original obituary as fairly presenting both the positive and negative aspects of its subject s life 55 56 58 kelliher did not accept the bmj apology as genuine and maintained that inaccuracies and unjustified slander remained but the press complaints commission declined to take any action against the journal stating that the bmj had offered sufficient remedial action according to the commission the journal was not obliged to omit negative information including the journal s contention that dr horrobin was in some ways a charlatan 57 posthumous honours edit in june 2004 the scientific publisher elsevier having acquired the journal medical hypotheses created an annual david horrobin prize for medical theory in his honour 59 he was posthumously awarded the stephen s chang award by the american oil chemists society in 2003 60 selected bibliography edit scholia has a
