Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial


Still more good science writing on the fraud that is called alternative medicine.

In the same vein as Snake Oil Science, two researchers (one a former homeopath) analyze the evidence for such alt med therapies as acupuncture, herbal remedies (some of which actually are efficacious), and homeopathy.

Well written and researched. It's just too bad that most humans are dumbasses and fall for the plethora of bogus claims out there, much to the detriment of their health and the weight of their wallets.

A lot of people find this subject boring, but I get off on it.

Rating: 9/10
