Fact and Prejudice
When having coffee with your family, you are offered energized water. On Twitter you discuss with vaccination opponents. The WhatsApp kitagroup discusses zodiac signs, the pharmacy sells you globules, the neighbor proselytizes for her guru, and the news is once again about demonstrations by right-wing extremists. Everywhere you encounter conspiracy myths, superstition, esotericism, pseudoscience and Co. and you want to respond to them - while remaining as factual as possible, clarify your position, provide facts, but also not unnecessarily provoke or overload. In addition, you do not want to hurt your counterpart, but to encourage him to rethink. But how do you do that? If you are asking you...
Homeopathy Reconsidered
Homeopathy is over 200 years old and is still experiencing an uninterrupted influx of new practitioners and patients. Many patients and therapists swear by this "alternative healing method", which in some countries is even financed by health insurances. This seems completely incomprehensible to critics: For them it is clearly evident that homeopathy is hopelessly unscientific and has at best a placebo effect. The positions of supporters and opponents seem to be just as immutable as they are incompatible. This book answers some essential and fascinating questions: What remains of the founding ideas of homeopathy in 21st century medicine? Does it really work and, if so, how? Which of the origi...
Healing the Homeopathic Way
Homeopathy works, heals and is easy to explain and understand. All that is needed is a change of perspective to a scientific paradigm that suits homeopathy and on which basis its laws make sense. In the current discussion about the effectiveness of homeopathy, this book gives clear answers and illuminates the historical, philosophical and scientific backgrounds of this holistic medicine. It shows that there is much more to it than a healing method. Homeopathy offers a medical alternative that does not produce resistant germs, does not bring hormones and toxins into the body and the environment, and due to its minimal consumption of resources is sustainable, inexpensive and can be used worldw...
Evidence-Based Medicine - A Paradigm Ready To Be Challenged?
This open access book aims to clarify the term „evidence-based medicine“ (EBM) from a philosophy of science perspective. The author, Marie-Caroline Schulte discusses the importance of evi-dence in medical research and practice with a focus on the ethical and methodological prob-lems of EBM. The claims that EBM can herald a new theory of epistemology and a Kuhnian paradigm will be refuted. The solution is to describe EBM as a necessary development in medicine to deal with the increasing amount of evidence and medical data without loosing the single patient out of sight.
Truthfinder's Promise
Even the magically inclined know werewolves don’t exist. So why is her new rescue dog suddenly taking human form? When Meredith Townsend finds a dog locked in a basement at a madman's compound, her magic immediately senses a lie. She knows it isn't simply a dog, but she never expects a werewolf—since everyone knows they don't exist. But not only does this rescue "dog" take human form, he happens to be none other than Jensen King, the man she had a torridly hot affair with—before he disappeared without a trace. Now he needs Meredith's help to find his sister—and the other Shifters stolen from his enclave—before they're sold to the highest bidder at an underground magical auction. If Meredith and Jensen fail, war looms on the horizon between Aspect and Shifter societies. If they succeed, do two people from such a different background have a chance at making love work?
Mind, Make-Believe and Medicine
This book delves into the world of alternative medicine and related phenomena in several different ways, both from a scientific perspective and the perspective of supporters and practitioners of those phenomena. An attempt is made to explain not only what those perspectives are, but also why they are often so radically different. Why do lots of people believe things that other people don't? To find answers, we don't just examine the things people believe in or not, but also human traits in thinking, reasoning and belief.

After I Do
"It all started out so well for Lauren Spencer and Ryan Cooper--all-consuming college romance, perfectly imperfect proposal, lovely wedding, and a rustic honeymoon. Now, almost 10 years later, Lauren and Ryan find themselves rehashing the same arguments with increasing vehemence. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, Lauren and Ryan decide to take a yearlong break from each other, abstain from all communication, and figure out how they'd like to move forward. Once Ryan moves out, Lauren spends the next year learning more about herself, her marriage, and the foundations of good relationships than she ever imagined."--Provided by publisher.
Mission Globukalypse
Seit es die Homöopathie gibt, wird über sie gestritten. Über 200 Jahre ist die Auseinandersetzung um die Globuli schon alt. Seit einigen Jahren hat sie sich zu einem wahren Glaubenskrieg entwickelt, der inzwischen mit allen Mitteln geführt wird. Eskaliert ist der Streit, seit sich die Homöopathiekritiker zu einer eigenen Organisation zusammengeschlossen und zur "Globukalypse" aufgerufen haben, der vollständigen und endgültigen Entfernung der Homöopathie aus der Medizin. Die Überzeugung der Kritiker: Eine Medizin ohne Humbug ist eine bessere Medizin. Dieses Buch stellt kritische Fragen - an die Homöopathen, vor allem aber auch an deren Kritiker. Was sind ihre Argumente? Wie schlüssig sind diese? Welche Motive stecken hinter der "Globukalypse" und wer sind ihre Protagonisten? Neben Antworten liefert das Buch aber auch konkrete Lösungsvorschläge, wie der Streit entschärft und ein Dialog angestoßen werden kann - so man zu einem solchen bereit ist.
