Systems of treatment as a grab-bag of inert (when not dangerous) therapies
foisted upon gullible hypochondriacs by scientifically uncritical quacks. Alternative
doctors, Spalding Gray has joked on behalf of physicians, believe that
“everything gives you cancer,” but there’s no need to worry, because they also
believe that “everything else heals you of it.” (The emphasis is Gray’s; italicized
words in quoted passages throughout this book were italicized in the
original.)
