Description

Complementary and alternative medicines such as homeopathy, herbal medicines, acupuncture and chiropractic are widely used. Many who rely on them claim to have experienced benefits to their health, yet critics believe that some of these methods are little better than a placebo. What is the evidence for and against these therapies? How should they be regulated? Should they be funded by the NHS? This book looks at alternative medicine and the debate surrounding it. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
