This page needs to be moved, and replaced with a disambig.  There are 3 very well-known Paul Ehrlich's with the ecologist probably having the widest name recognition today.
*Paul R. Ehrlich the ecologist
*Paul Ehrlich nobelist in medicine
*Paul Ehrlich (surgeon general) the U.S. Surgeon General 1973-1977

replies: text: Absolutely there should be a disambig.  Anybody know how to do this -- does it require a shard of Jimbo's cockring or something?  For some reason, Paul Erlich also redirects here. beefman (talk) 00:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Having recently been told I am a grand (times a few) nephew of Dr Ehrlich, I am curious to know if there is a family tree available for him. Several google searches have found nothing. Bstone 02:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Salvarsan did not even work at curing syphilis so why give credit to Paul Ehrlich for developing a drug that did not work(and actually he did not even discover salvarsan his student did).
Also saying that the discovery of salvarsan stimulated research into other drugs is incorrect. Alot of doctors and chemists were already stimulated to finding new drugs for treating disease well before salvarsan was invented.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.6.240 (talk) 05:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: One, Salvarsan did work, not universally but it was a much-sought after cure in its time, two, he worked with his student to create Salvarsan, and the majority of work and research that led to its creation was done by Ehrlich, three, his work with staining and particularly Salvarsan paved the way for the rest of selective staining of microbes. 69.120.4.173 (talk) 19:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Somebody please explain the rationale for redirecting Paul Erlich to this page 

message: I added that salvarsan was not effective at curing syphilis as stated in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment article.  There is no evidence that salvarsan actually worked on anyone and no sources are given.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.115.141.241 (talk) 23:34, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  salvarsan did not cure syphilis 

message: Salvarsan was the first drug developed to treat a micro infectious disease, it wasn't a cure for syphilis. Alexander Fleming developed the cure for syphilis - penicillin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.60.37.2 (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

message: You know, it's probably wise to either remove or qualify the bit about "chemotherapy". When Ehrlich coined the term he defined it as "therapy with chemicals to cure disease". He wasn't thinking about cancer, which is of course what "chemotherapy" has come to mean today.
The way the article reads at the moment. Someone might assume that Ehrlich was in fact the first person to start fighting cancer. NickCT (talk) 13:32, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
