Prof Edzard Ernst also claimed that the heir to the throne’s concept of “integrated medicine” was a “big smokescreen to smuggle unproven or disproven treatment into the NHS”.
The academic recently stepped down from his post as Britain’s first professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University, having narrowly avoided losing his job several years ago over a row with the prince.
But he suggested that his retirement two years early was the “price to pay” for the centre staying open.
Exeter University said: "We are looking to replace Professor Ernst on his retirement with another specialist in Complementary Medicine. We will support that person to raise funds to enable research into CM to continue, but have earmarked around £234,000 to support the centre over the next 12 months."
Clarence House, which has previously claimed that the Prince had no knowledge of the letter sent by his private secretary to Exeter about Prof Ernst, did not wish to comment.
