Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine by Paul A. Offit

3.0

I'm a big fan of Offit's writings on vaccines and autism, so I was looking forward to this book. I came away from it feeling that it was a bit slight, though. Trying to get into the various claims of vitamin manufacturers, snake oil cancer treatments, dangerous treatments for autism, AND the dubious use of acupuncture and chiropracy in one book of less than 300 pages results in a book that feels a bit rushed and incomplete.
