505 0 How do you determine the truth? -- The truth about
acupuncture -- The truth about homeopathy -- The truth
about chiropractic therapy -- The truth about herbal
medicine -- Does the truth matter?
520 In this groundbreaking analysis, over thirty of the most
popular treatments--acupuncture, homeopathy, aromatherapy,
reflexology, chiropractic, and herbal medicines--are
examined for their benefits and potential dangers.
Questions answered include: What works and what doesn't?
What are the secrets, and what are the lies? Who can you
trust, and who is ripping you off? Can science decide what
is best, or do the old wives' tales really tap into
ancient, superior wisdom? In their scrutiny of alternative
and complementary cures, authors Simon Singh and Edzard
Ernst also strive to reassert the primacy of the
scientific method as a means for determining public health
practice and policy.--From publisher description.
