Professor of complementary medicine Edzard Ernst and bioethicist Dr Kevin Smith have together written a new book on complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) and those who provide and recommend these practices. More Harm than Good? The Moral Maze of Complementary and Alternative Medicine looks at the moral, ethical and legal principles that should be considered when recommending treatments such as acupuncture and homeopathy, analysing academic literature along with internet sources promoting the use of CAM.
