“I thought I knew all there is to know about alternative medicine but I found many interesting details of which I was unaware. This book is a valuable contribution to the mounting volume of critical assessment of alternative medicine. A ‘must read’ for anyone with more than a fleeting interest in the subject. I highly recommend it.” Prof. Edzard Ernst, MD, PhD, FMed Sci, FSB, FRCP, FRCP (Edin.) co-author Trick or Treatment?

“Required reading for all users of CAM and all health care professionals who have patients who are giving consideration to these issues. No one should use any ‘therapy’ unless they are properly informed. And unless they have read Steven’s book, they won’t have this essential information. Read, learn, inwardly digest, and then make your mind up. An excellent review of contentious issues.” Dr Richard Rawlins MBA FRCS

“Hello Steve, I finished your book and despite all the interruptions in my reading, I really enjoyed it. You provide a much needed health warning for patients who might consider venturing towards therapies which they may not realise are unproven, disproven or possibly even dangerous.” Simon Singh, author of ‘Fermat’s Last Theorem’ and co-author of ‘Trick or Treatment?’

“Your writings are without doubt the most powerful, disturbing, heartbreaking, joyful, positive and brutally honest words I have ever read.” Paul Smithson

“Dear friends, Steven comes across as the wise, commonsensical ‘everyman’ we all hoped was out there somewhere. I do think we should help him gain the widest possible audience. It has taken him 18 years of research and in my humble opinion is better than anything any of us have written on the subject. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.” Professor Michael Baum, Professor Emeritus of Surgery & Visiting Professor of Medical Humanities, UCL

“Congratulations on yet another brilliant unmasking of bad science and public brainwashing!” Jose Manuel Azevedo

“I enjoyed it so much, I finished up reading it in a single session. With the air of truth and ring of true scolarship, this book will become a valuable source of information on the industry universally known as alternative therapies.” Professor Vincent Marks

“Brilliant analysis as usual. Your work is superb on all fronts, and I can’t remember the last time I said that. Congratulations.” John Rappoport
