商品描述

This book focuses on the individuals who invented specific forms of alternative medicine. Examples are Hahnemann (homeopathy), Still (osteopathy), Schulz (autogenic training). In total, about 40 such personalities are included in the book. They have all led unusual lives, and the book explores their journey towards their inventions. Certain characteristics seem to emerge:
- They are all male!

- Many originated from Europe-

- Most of them are white

- Many gave their name to the therapy

- Many inventions are relatively recent

- Many inventors are not doctors

- Most inventors claim to havefound a panacea

- Many adhere to vitalistic ideas

- Almost all of the inventors are fully convinced of their invention

- Inventions are often based on personal experience

- The inventions tend to be implausible even by the standards of their time

The book explores all these themes and, where appropriate, contrasts them with the corresponding situation in conventional medicine.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書專注於發明特定形式替代醫學的個人。舉例來說，有哈內曼（Hahnemann，順勢療法）、斯蒂爾（Still，整骨療法）、舒爾茨（Schulz，自律訓練）。書中共包含約40位這樣的人物。他們都過著不尋常的生活，書中探討了他們通往發明的旅程。某些特徵似乎浮現出來：
- 他們全都是男性！
- 許多人來自歐洲
- 他們大多是白人
- 許多人將自己的名字命名為療法
- 許多發明相對較新
- 許多發明者並非醫生
- 大多數發明者聲稱自己找到了萬能藥
- 許多人堅持生命力主義的觀念
- 幾乎所有的發明者都完全相信自己的發明
- 發明通常基於個人經驗
- 這些發明即使在當時的標準下也往往顯得不可信

本書探討了所有這些主題，並在適當的情況下，將其與傳統醫學的相應情況進行對比。

作者簡介

Edzard Ernst retired from his University post ten years ago after critically exploring alternative forms of medicine during much of his academic career. As well as informing the public through his academic papers and books, he also runs a popular blog [edzardernst.com], lectures widely and is active on social media (>20000 followers on 'X'). He is also a regular columnist for DER SPIEGEL, DIE WELT and L'EXPRESS. His ambition is to stimulate critical thinking in and around alternative medicine, a mission that has brought him into conflict with many proponents, including King Charles III, but also much acclaim and several prestigious awards (e.g. Maddox Prize 2015).
