Natalie Robins

Copeland’s Cure: Homeopathy and the War Between Conventional and Alternative Medicine

“An absolutely dazzling account of the quarrel, over the course of some 150 years, between conventional medicine ( as represented by the AMA) and the alternative practice of homeopathy.... There are so many wonderful treats in this book! For starters, there's the portrait of Copeland, a quintessentially optimistic, Bible-quoting, self-improving, platitude-sprouting American boy... Copeland is our whole sweet country concentrated in one flawed human being.... Natalie Robins captures all this perfectly and with engaging verve.”
--Carolyn See, WASHINGTON POST
