Alternative Medicine: Should We Swallow It?

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is an increasingly acceptable part of the repertory of healthcare professionals and is becoming more and more popular with the public. It seems that CAM has come of age - but should we swallow it?
Contributors from a variety of healthcare backgrounds make the case for and against CAM in this book.


The Institute of Ideas's mission is to bring fresh ideas to the public arena on the key debates of our time. The IoI aims to be an agenda-setting organization prepared to think the unthinkable and encourage others to do likewise. The IoI is committed to forging a space where ideas can be contested without constraint, and where the clash of ideas is recognized as integral to the process of knowledge expansion.

Editor (from the Institute of Ideas): Tiffany Jenkins
