MORE HARM THAN GOOD? - EDZARD ERNST KEVIN SMITH...

This book reveals the numerous ways in which moral  ethical and legal principles are being
violated by those who provide  recommend or sell 'complementary and alternative medicine'
(CAM). The book analyses both academic literature and internet sources that promote CAM.
Additionally the book presents a number of brief scenarios  both hypothetical and real-life 
about individuals who use CAM or who fall prey to ethically dubious CAM practitioners. The
events and conundrums described in these scenarios could happen to almost anyone. Professor
emeritus of complementary medicine Edzard Ernst together with bioethicist Kevin Smith provide a
thorough and authoritative ethical analysis of a range of CAM modalities  including acupuncture
chiropractic  herbalism  and homeopathy. This book could and should interest all medical
professionals who have contact to complementary medicine and will be an invaluable reference
for patients deliberating which course of treatment to adopt.
