Reviews

Based on prodigious research, Juhnke's book makes a major contribution to the study of health quackery in America....Readers will be gripped by his narrative and enlightened by his insights into a major, continuing problem in the nation's health marketplace. JAMES HARVEY YOUNG, AUTHOR OF AMERICAN HEALTH QUACKERY A readable account of why three of America's best known medical frauds succeeded, and what their success indicates about the context of our health care system. MICHAEL S. GOLDSTEIN, AUTHOR OF ALTERNATIVE HEALTH CARE: MEDICINE, MIRACLE, OR MIRAGE? Vividly describes the sales pitches and political maneuvering that enabled Brinkley, Baker, and Hoxsey to 'succeed.' Astute readers will recognize that today's quacks use many of the same techniques. STEPHEN BARRETT, M.D., QUACKWATCH.COM
