Mistaking ILLUSIONS for REALITIES

The 2008 book Trick or Treatment stated that "the energy field was probably nothing more than a figment in the imaginations of the healers."

The book evaluates the scientific evidence for acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and chiropractic, and briefly covers 36 other treatments. It finds that the scientific evidence for these alternative treatments is generally lacking. Homeopathy is concluded to be completely ineffective: "It's nothing but a placebo, despite what homeopaths say."
