YES, Brian Hughes was the one who said it. Thank you, David. So much easier to find once the name is right. It was in "My letter to the BMJ on its "ambiguous editorial commitment to scientific rigour" If the ‘Lightning Process’ is in fact shown to work, we will need to re-write our physiology...

Does anyone know where to find the quote about medical textbooks needing to be rewritten if LP turns out to be correct?
