Science has driven magic out of medicine, but not out of us humans, says MD Eckart von Hirschhausen, the famous German comedian, TV presenter and author of best-selling popular science books. We continue to believe in miracles, seek miraculous healing, and sometimes trust magicians and psychics more than official medicine and “people in white coats.” Why does this happen and are magic and medicine really so incompatible? What if the “miraculous healing” has a completely scientific explanation, while your doctor’s recommendation is nothing more than a medieval magical ritual? How to distinguish quackery from a sincere desire to help? Read about this and much more in this fun, educational and deeply personal book. The author has thoroughly explored both worlds of medicine, having been both a doctor and a patient, and now offers a new approach: taking the best of traditional medicine and magic and approaching your health issues consciously, intelligently and with a dose of healing humor.
