## Description

Healing, Hype or Harm?: A Critical Analysis of Complementary or Alternative Medicine (Societas Book 8) eBook : Ernst, Edzard, Ernst, Edzard, Ross, Nick: desertcart.co.uk: Kindle Store

Review: Page turner - Arrived last week, still reading it, it is as anticipated, a page turner.
Review: Should be taught in schools - Vital and informative text that should be read by everyone alongside Ben Goldacre's 'Bad Science' and Singh and Ernt's 'Trick or Treatment'. Everyone should be able to made informed choices about the treatments that are peddled to the desperate and gullible. As Tim Minchin famously said 'What do you call Alternative Medicine that has been proved to work? . . . Medicine!'

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page turner
*by J***H on 24 August 2020*

Arrived last week, still reading it, it is as anticipated, a page turner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be taught in schools
*by M***Y on 19 January 2010*

Vital and informative text that should be read by everyone alongside Ben Goldacre's 'Bad Science' and Singh and Ernt's 'Trick or Treatment'. Everyone should be able to made informed choices about the treatments that are peddled to the desperate and gullible.

### ⭐ If you are looking for a unbiased, well reasoned & researched book...pass on
*by M***E on 2 January 2010*

A disappointing & unsettling book. I have an interest in homeopathy & was shocked to discover the many factual inaccuracies presented here. Mr Ernst also sees fit to use (and draw conclusions from) research that has been widely criticised in the scientific community as flawed. (Shang et als Meta-Analysis). This book is a piece of propaganda, nothing more. I cannot comment on the other chapters, but I presume they are of the same level of scholarship. I'm concerned that a supposedly reputable scientist would put his name to this piece of propaganda & I worry about the state of science in the UK.... has it ceased being about exploring our incredible world & merely become another wing of big-business?
