From the back cover

Society today is paying a heavy price in disease and death for the monopolygranted the medical profession in the 1920's. In fact, the situation peculiarly resembles that of the 1830's when physicians relied on bloodletting, mercurial medicines, and quinine, even though knowing them to be intrinsically harmful and precisely the same arguments were made in defense of these medicines as are employed today, namely, that the benefits outweigh the risks. In truth, the benefits accrue to the physician, while the patient runs the risks.

"A vast and well-documented attempt to paint the history of empirical medicine in constant tension with the rationalist tradition."

Ivan Illich, author of Medical Nemesis

"A trenchant commentary on orthodox drug therapy and 'scientific medicine.'"

-Alex Berman, Journal of the History of Medicine

"An important book ... the reference work for all subsequent scholarship in the field."

-Jerome W. Whitney, British Homoeopathic Journal

"Provocative and worthwhile reading."

-Gert Brieger, M.D., U.C.S.F. School of Medicine, American Scientist.

STATEMENT ABOUT DANA ULLMAN, MPH, by DAVID ANICK, MD, PhD., Harvard School of Medicine: 

"You are the Jon Stewart of homeopathy, the way you combine information ("gee I didn't know that!") with humor.  And you avoid defensiveness, which is terrific."
