About this title

About the Author

I practiced alternative medicine in the 1990s but gradually came to recognize the the field is intellectually bankrupt and abandoned it. This was a difficult recognition because my pratice was very successful. I wrote two partially supporting alternative medicine that I now reject, and also a dozen or more books on evidence-based evaluation of alternative medicine and evidence-based medicine generally that I still endorse. After accidentally inventing the word "orthorexia nervosa" in 1997, I went on to write and publish science fiction short stories, a comic novel on alternative medicine, a hard-science science fiction novel on immortality, and two rather challenging popular science books. A third popoular science book is on its way.
