Sorting Myth from Reality Surrounding
Snake Oil from a Doctor`s Standpoint
An Indianapolis
native and accomplished doctor of many years, Dr. Tavel is an internal medicine
and cardiovascular diseases physician that graduated from Indiana University
that has a medical research track record of over 100 publications editorials,
as well as book reviews from peer-reviewed national medical journal
publications under his belt. Not to mention Dr. Tavel is a former U.S. Army Medical
Corps Member, former Director of the cardiac rehabilitation program
at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, and prior clinical professor teacher
at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Adding to Dr. Tavel`s repertoire is
the fact that hisSNAKE OIL IS ALIVE AND WELL: The Clash between Myths
and Reality: Reflections of a Physician, is not the author`s first attempt at writing a book. With the four book
editions Dr. Tavel has managed to write over a 20 year period along with
numerous contributions to many textbooks he has shared authorship with which
shows just how very much well overqualified this physician is.
For the good of the greater public and all the scientific health
junkies whom believe in the miraculousness of alternative medicine when it
comes to using snake oil for what years has come to be known as a natural
healing incentive practiced in many health clinic settings, to name a few such
as through chiropractic and acupuncture offices open to the public while
scientifically, the yet unproven theory is exactly what sets the premise for
doctor Morton E. Tavel`s book “SNAKE OIL IS ALIVE AND WELL: The Clash between
Myths and Reality: Reflections of a Physician. Much of what the book represents
is an in thorough analysis between the notion of how myths are started as well
as being an informative guide to readers on aspects or issues above and beyond
basic health understanding. From a
psychological and medical stand point of view, this book`s ultimate purpose was
created to serve as a tool in assisting the greater public in being able to
further differentiate what traits of alternative healing constitute myth verses
fact. Supporting the efforts of “SNAKE OIL IS ALIVE AND WELL: The Clash between
Myths and Reality: Reflections of a Physician, is the inclusion of the “placebo
effect” used as an influence on readers to shed light of how certain medical healing
treatments, including their effects can often be the key to explaining the at
times scientifically unexplainable benefits alternative medicine such as snake
oil in addition to many other natural remedies can have.
