"This is the first comprehensive work on Eastern Orthodoxy in the context of health and modern medicine. The book, like the others in the series, has two purposes. One purpose is to help health care professionals (who themselves come from various religious traditions, or perhaps none) to understand how the Orthodox Christian faith is related to issues of health and medicine so that they can serve their Orthodox patients with greater sensitivity. The book is also written to help Orthodox people understand more fully the relation of their tradition to the issues of health and medicine, as well as for those with a general interest in this formative tradition. Of particular note is the emphasis here on the continuously maintained tradition and practice of spiritual healing in the Orthodox church. Whether through the healings of the saints or through the liturgical tradition of concern for the sick, especially in the sacrament of healing itself, holy unction, Orthodox Christianity attends to the concrete and interrelated reality of human illness in its spiritual, psychological, and physical dimensions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

`There's no book like it. It's Saks' subject and he's good' - Roy Porter This fascinating book explores the changing relationship between orthodox and alternative medicine in Britain and the United States from the sixteenth century to the present day. Mike Saks sees the development of orthodox and alternative medicine as two sides of the same coin and his analysis centers on the role of professionalization in health care. In the sixteenth century, the line between orthodox and alternative medicine was blurred. By the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the increasing professionalization of orthodox bio-medicine had marginalized medical alternatives. In recent years, following the growth of a strong counter-culture in the 1960s and 1970s, perceptions of the relationship between the two forms of practice have begun to change again. The de-professionalization of orthodox medicine is being debated, while ironically, alternative medicine has become increasingly professionalized. Mike Saks considers the political dynamics of the process of professionalization, and looks at the dilemmas posed for both medical orthodoxy and alternative medicine in the development of a more integrated health care system in Britain and the United States in the future.

Taking a critical view, Homeopathy: An Illusion of Effectiveness is a treasure trove of information regarding the homeopathic system of medicine, reasoning through various unanswered questions concerning its principles and the scientific basis of its remedies. This book posits that the principles of homeopathy are inaccurate and homeopathic drugs have no therapeutic utility. Features: • Includes studies, observations, analysis, and conclusions of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy • Proves that principles of homeopathy are scientifically baseless and homeopathic drugs have no therapeutic effect • Provides a platform for creative and rational thinking • Promotes evidence-based medicine This book is the only one of its kind, explaining how Hahnemann framed the laws of this therapeutic system inaccurately due to lack of knowledge. At present, homeopathy is misleading the public and increasing morbidity and mortality because it is interfering with the application of modern medical science. This book will be useful in the medical community as well as the non-medical community, dispelling several myths associated with homeopathy by developing a rational approach based on scientific facts.

First published in 1987. Even as the professionalism of medicine progressed, many sufferers continued to rely on what would now be termed "fringe" practitioners – quacks, backstreet surgeons, bone-setters, Thomsonian botanists, holists and naturalists. Many types of fringe medicine were popular in particular circles or reflected the political or religious preoccupations of their practitioners. Anti-establishment radicals might favour natural medicine, Christian Scientists would reject the medical aid, "Physical Puritans" would concentrate on homeopathy, hydropathy and vegetarianism to create health rather than counter disease. Some diseases, particularly venereal ones, allowed practitioners to play unscrupulously on the guilt of their patients. The end of the period saw professionalism establish itself in many areas, for example with the foundation in 1852 of the Pharmaceutical Society, and conflicts of fringe and orthodoxy became the fiercer. The essays collected in this volume all present new research on this fascinating and diverse period in the history of medicine.
