Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine

Author: Paul Offit
Stars: 5
Review by: Mary NK

A clear, unbiased description of the better-known alternatives to "mainstream" medicine and the pitfalls of using treatments not scientifically tested. Offit's premise is not that all alternatives are bad, or that mainstream meds are always perfect. He advocates using whatever has been PROVEN to work, including, sometimes, the placebo effect.
