Editorial Reviews

Review

"The small miracle of Warner's entertaining and highly useful book is that it gives you the tools to understand how alternative medicine works, so you can confidently make up your own mind...With lean and persuasive prose, she skillfully navigates the alternative-medicine landscape with an open mind and a strong bias for the scientific method." (The Washington Post)
