Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine submitted by SBNB on June 19, 2015, 8:20pm This book is very interesting. It pretty much summed itself up at the beginning when it said that there is no alternative medicine. There’s only that which works and has been scientifically proven to work and that which doesn’t work and has no scientific proof behind it (or even proof that it doesn’t work). The book included a history of unproven remedies in this country starting from before there was an FDA. It’s quite interesting. I recommend it.
