As a presentation of the conference, yesterday offered a brief interview:
The book focuses on the study of the best known treatments of Alternative Medicine, such as acupuncture, homeopathy, aromatherapy, reflexology, chiropractic or medicine of medicinal plants, and the explanation of the benefits and possible risks tested after their assessment by means of scientific tests. According to the authors, “from these studies we have drawn the conclusion that alternative treatments do not have a real effect on patients and, in cases in which they occur, they only have a placebo effect.”
