 * Delete. A GS h-index of 12 in a well cited field fails WP:Prof: not much else. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC).
 * Uncertain I am not sure h index when not analyzed further is helpful for people who are clinicians, not researchers. But:
 * The highest cited articles are 139, 115, 99 ; I think articles with this level of citation might show notability-- h=17 can been 17 articles each with 17 citations, which is non-notable, or 17 articles, 14 of which have 17-50 citations, and 3 have 99-100 which might be.
 * One of the articles is a review in Medical clinics of North America, a  respected mainstream journal aimed at practitioners
 * Worldcat shows a number of books, also, tho none have substantial holdings.
 * The citations in GS are almost entirely in alternative medicine journals. I personally have a considerable prejudice about most of this field, especially those parts that can be called "Energy medicine", which is the subject's area. I therefore watch out for the tendency to think people in that field unimportant. Nonetheless, I rather doubt he's a major figure.  DGG ( talk ) 05:16, 29 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete — Literally the only notable reference to the subject is what seems to be a biography/advertisement written by the person himself. --Flipandflopped (talk) 02:06, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
