Not debating this time, I'm just looking for information. Has anyone seen or heard of any theoretical works on the interaction (or lack of same) between modern scientific medicine and alternative medical technologies? Even general works on the collision of science and pseudo-science would be helpful. I'm doing my thesis in the area of the Sociology of Belief Systems, and the area of interaction between these competing paradigms fascinates me. One of these days I'll join CSICOP or something. In any case, any leads would be appreciated. My bookshelf is already groaning under the strain, but, such is research life. Thanks in advance for any help.
