Rose Shapiro's new book, Suckers: How Alternative Medicine Makes Fools of Us All, reveals how alternative medicine can jeopardise the health of those it claims to treat, how it leaches resources from treatments of proven efficacy, and remains largely unaccountable and unregulated. It is an industry preying on human vulnerability, whose success makes fools of us all.
