"A fine job. So good, that I will even steal material from it for my forthcoming book, A Magician in the Laboratory." "Placebo Medicine is accurate and to the point. Dr. Levy has nothing to gain by examining what reputable research says about the effectiveness of alternative treatments. No strings attached here! Plus, it's funny and accessible, making it a great primer for teens and others who rarely have good information available to them."
"Dr. Levy's book is packed with good information about placebos and about treatments that have no benefit beyond the placebo effect. His light, entertaining style makes it accessible to all and a pleasure to read. I am particularly intrigued by his proposal for incorporating placebo treatments into mainstream medicine."
