This is John Diamond's controversial and often critical look into the world of complementary medicine, based on his personal experience, and those of readers of the "Times" column which he wrote before he died. His previous book "C: Because Cowards Get Cancer Too" continues to be a Bertrams' bestseller, and this title should do very well with readers who were inspired by "C".

John Diamond died on March 1st 2001. He was one of Britain's most prolific journalists, columnists and broadcasters, having worked for most of the national papers and presented numerous radio and television series. He was married to Nigella Lawson, with whom he had two children.
Dominic Lawson is Editor of the Sunday Telegraph. Previously he was Editor of the Spectator. He introduced John Diamond as a columnist at both titles. He was also John Diamond's brother-in-law.
