reviewed Nature Cures: The History of Alternative Medicine in America on February 02, 2014
Nature Cures
Overall, this was an interesting read. It was saved from being textbookish by the bits of humor (i.e. the chapter on homeopathy is called "Dilutions of Grandeur") and odd poems, quotes, and jingle lyrics throughout. Its crazy to think how much of alternative and not so alternative medicines could come from such strange beginnings.
