About the book

"In Snake Oil Science, R. Barker Bausell provides an engaging look at the scientific evidence for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and at the logical, psychological, and physiological pitfalls that lead otherwise intelligent people - including researchers, physicians, and therapists - to endorse these cures, The book's ultimate goal is to reveal not whether these therapies work - as Bausell explains, most do work, although weakly and temporarily - but whether they work for the reasons their proponents believe."--Jacket.
