Recenzii
'This
book
should
be
prescribed
for
bigots
on
both
sides,
to
be
taken
thoughtfully,
all
the
way
to
the
last
page.'

The
Guardian
'An excellent overview of the subject...It is probably unwise to label any book as required reading. Nevertheless, when contemplating the entrenched attitudes of many in both the orthodox and complementary medical communities, the temptation to do so with The Whole Story is strong.' - Guardian Saturday Review
'Murcott provides a lay person's guide to what is happening in the industry and his book is excellent and thought-provoking for anyone interested in research into complementary therapies.' - Institute for Complementary Medicine Journal
'A book you ought to read.' - www.popularscience.co.uk
'A fun little book about complementary and alternative therapies. It is not about what works or what doesn't and remains impishly neutral...Whichever side of the argument you start, you will shout 'rubbish' at some point, but at least you will have been exposed to a different point of view and be no worse for that.' - Bandolier
'The Whole Story elegantly presents the challenges of testing therapies from acupuncture to reflexology and in so doing makes an original, thought-provoking and worthwhile contribution to the debate on complementary medicine.' - Dr. Susan Aldridge, Author of The Thread of Life and Seeing Red & Feeling Blue
'Complementary and alternative medicine is more popular than ever before, and there is no shortage of publications on the subject. This book clearly stands out from the rest. It is a well-researched attempt at cutting through the thick layers of make-believe and revealing the truth. Like no other lay book, it promotes analytical thinking, a commodity rarer than gold dust in this area.' - Edzard Ernst, Professor of Complementary Medicine, Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, UK
'Calling on doctors, patients, therapists and researchers as witnesses, Dr. Murcott puts complementary medicine on trial. By examining the evidence at hand he highlights the complexities in making healthcare decisions and draws conclusions that have important implications for all forms of medicine.' - Professor Marc Cohen, President of the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association
'A bird's eye view of both the orthodox and complementary medicine worlds. Excellent and thought-provoking.' - Institute for Complementary Medicine Journal
'Murcott reveals how much of what we take as scientific fact is imbued with subjectivity, bias, misinterpretation or simply asking the wrong questions.' - The Lancet
'Brilliantly researched and bravely written.' - Science and Public Affairs
