Patrick Holford is a British author and entrepreneur who endorses a range of vitamin tablets. As an advocate of alternative nutrition and diet methods, he appears regularly on television and radio in the UK and abroad. He has 36 books in print in 29 languages. His business career promotes a wide variety of alternative medical approaches such as orthomolecular medicine, many of which are considered pseudoscientific by mainstream science and medicine.
Holford's claims about HIV and autism are not in line with modern medical thought and have been criticised for putting people in danger and damaging public health.
In 2006 Holford was discovered to be using his PR adviser to delete critical content from his Wikipedia page.
