About the Book

At the center of the debate over complementary and alternative medicine-from acupuncture and chiropractic treatments to homeopathy and nutritional supplements-is how to scientifically measure the effectiveness of a particular treatment. Fourteen scholars from the fields of medicine, philosophy, sociology, and cultural and folklore studies examine that debate, and the clash between growing public support and the often hostile stance of clinicians and medical researchers.

Review :
Highly recommend[ed] ... as a resource for all researchers and investigators, academics and scholars, and students both favorable or opposed to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This thought-provoking and exciting book is unparalleled in the field. It offers food for intellectual thought and meets the need for elucidating critical yet balanced discourse on the meaning and therapeutic values and efficacy of CAM. Doody's Review Service Although many books are available about CAM, this books makes its mark because it explores the relationship between CAM and conventional medicine. The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
