The right man syndrome: skepticism and alternative medicine.

FOREWORDP Skepticism is an honored tradition in science. Without it, science limps. Before proceeding, therefore, I wish to express my g ratitude to the genuine skeptics in the scientific-medical community who have offered constructive criticism of the field of c o m p l e m e n t a ry and alternative med icine (CAM). We at Alternative Therapies are grateful for your observations and invite you to continue contributing them. Nothing that follows should be construed as a rejection of the contributions of authentic skepticism to this developing field.
