"It properly defines homeopathy (and notes how widely its definition can be stretched), narrates the story of its eccentric but brilliant founder Christian Hahnemann, runs through the scientific arguments for and against Hahnemann's ideas and, as if that is not enough, it provides a comprehensive lexicon which will become the classic first-choice reference on the subject." (Nick Ross, healthwatch.uk.org, Issue 104, February, 2017) "For doctors, scientists, educated laymen, and for anyone seeking a more complete story, Ernst's book is unbeatable. It should be the last word on homeopathy." (Harriet Hall, Science-Based Medicine, sciencebasedmedicine.org, November, 2016)
