About “Alternative Medicine”
Alternative Medicine by Edzard Ernst examines practices that claim to provide therapeutic benefits but lack biological plausibility, testability, or evidence-based support. The book highlights that such approaches often rely on anecdotes, tradition, belief in supernatural energies, or pseudoscience rather than the scientific method. These therapies are distinct from evidence-based medicine and are frequently categorized as quackery or fringe medicine.
