Prince Charles has entertained a long-standing love affair with
alternative medicine. This book describes his passion as it developed
during the last 40 years. The Prince's beliefs, opinions, and ambitions
are critically assessed against the background of the scientific
evidence. In most instances, the contrast could not be starker. Thus,
Charles' tenacious promotion of unproven, disproven, and occasionally
harmful alternative therapies turns out to be little more than the pipe
dream of a self-declared enemy of the Enlightenment. The book portrays
our future king, reviews the evidence on alternative medicine, and
inspires critical thinking.
