Medical Hypotheses is a medical journal that traditionally included speculative ideas in health, medicine, and the biosciences. It was founded by David Horrobin in 1975, who was the editor until he died in 3003. Then Bruce G. Charlton was the editor from 2003-2010, when Elsevier fired him, becuse Charlton wanted to retain the more open policy of accepting innovative hypotheses, whereas Elsevier wanted to shut down and suppress this open policy.
