Dr. Offit reveals how alternative medicineβan unregulated industry under no legal obligation to prove its claims or admit its risksβcan actually be harmful to our health.
Using dramatic real-life stories, Offit separates the sense from the nonsense, showing why any therapyβalternative or traditionalβshould be scrutinized. He also shows how some nontraditional methods can do a great deal of good, in some cases exceeding therapies offered by conventional practitioners.
An outspoken advocate for science-based health advocacy who is not afraid to take on media celebrities who promote alternative practices, Dr. Offit advises, βThereβs no such thing as alternative medicine. Thereβs only medicine that works and medicine that doesnβt.β
