Didn’t Josef Mengele also perform the horrifying method of submerging Holocaust victims into a bathtub filled with ice, leave one in their for close to 3 hours and to see what the victims results were to be and what it would do to the victims reaction would also be (that’s if the victim lived) ?

Mengele was no doctor. He was performing warfare experiments. Medicine is about cure people not fing out how to harm them.
This list’s item is not consistent.

He was a racist, cruel and insane butcher, but still a medic. Unlike the rest of the pseudodoctors in that list, Mengele’s research still had scientific aspects to it. For example: Mengele would take all twins that where brought to his deathcamp separate them and while leaving one the group of twins would be left as control group he give all sorts of drugs to the other group, when one of the twins died of overdose he would kill his brother and do a comparative authopsy to see what results the drugs had. That is (obviously) plain cruel, but still scientific. He’s not a quack at all.

Interesting list. Jensen doesn’t really fit in well and is well respected in the natural medicine community today. Somehow I knew this would end with something Holocaust related as Jewish issues take the focus on so many lists. Remember that Jews weren’t the only victims of the violence.

i think Samuel A. Cartwright needs to be on this, he's the guy who specialized in "negro diseases" during the Slavery period of the US and claimed that the only reason slaves tried to escape was because of a disease called draptomania

I'm greatly surprised that Hulda Clark was neither in the original list, nor mentioned in the comments so far.
