SUMMARY
Tertiary biographical reference, fetched directly. Used for uncontroversial biographical anchors (birth 18 October 1881 in Wongrowitz, Province of Posen; medical study in Breslau, Wurzburg, and Berlin; graduation from Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in 1909; death 8 March 1959 of pneumonia in New York City) and for the 1958 book title. Its framing of the 1958 sanction as a 'medical license' suspension is noted in the grounding log as less precise than two independently-corroborating accounts (Quackwatch and the NCI-affiliated NCBI Bookshelf PDQ page), which specifically identify a New York County Medical Society suspension for advertising; the case body uses the more precise, multiply-corroborated account.
NOTES
English Wikipedia’s biographical article on Max Gerson, used as a tertiary anchor for uncontroversial life dates and cross-checked against two independent secondary sources for disputed details (emigration timeline, nature of the 1958 sanction).
