Roberto Burioni
Omeopatia. Bugie, leggende e verità (Homeopathy. Lies, Myths and Facts)
Rizzoli, October 2019, 208 pages

“On some matters of life it’s a good thing to have your own opinions and to compare them. On others, however, we must surrender and leave room for facts.”

Respected doctors say that homeopathy has no effect. Reliable websites state that in homeopathic preparations there is nothing but water or sugar. Yet there are other doctors and pharmacists who prescribe and sell homeopathic treatments and many people we know, whose intelligence and good faith we cannot doubt, claim to have benefited greatly from homeopathy. But do homeopaths have something to teach “traditional” doctors? In this book, Roberto Burioni – doctor and professor of Microbiology and Virology, scholar and researcher internationally known for his pro-vaccines fights – reviews lies, myths and facts of a therapy method followed by millions of people all over the world.
