What's the talk about?
Prince Charles is a staunch defender and millions of people swear by alternative medicine, but most UK doctors consider it to be little more than superstition and a waste of money. And whilst ...much of this ‘medicine’ is free on the NHS, does it really work and is it safe? Indeed, does it even matter as long as patients are satisfied with the end results?
Based on the conclusions of his book 'Trick or Treatment?' (co-authored with the world’s first professor of complementary medicine), Simon Singh will look at which alternative therapies are safe and effective, and which are useless and even downright dangerous. From acupuncture to homeopathy, from herbal medicine to Hopi ear candling, Singh will also look at the origins of these therapies, their rapid growth in popularity in the West and their supposed modes of action.

Penn & Teller Bullsh*t - Series 6 Episode 2: "New Age Medicine"
Nobody ever gets sick in China. Okay, that would be true if Eastern Medicine were actually worth a monkey's ass. But here’s the truth: sticking acupuncture needles in your feet will not cure your asthma; the Chinese practice of cupping does nothing more tha...n leave ugly red marks on your back; and the Japanese “art” of reiki won’t channel your spiritual energy for healing – it’ll just channel your money into the reiki “artist’s” pocket.
At least Tiger Penis soup tastes delicious, even if it – like all the other Chinese herbal potions – doesn’t cure a damn thing. We're taking down the charlatans who prey on the seriously ill with this unproven, unscientific, and unbelievably dumb type of "medicine."
