About harm
It is difficult to assess the harm done to society and the
world at large by the spread and encouragement of
anti-scientific, irrational, and magical thinking. It is also
difficult to measure the extent of harm done to individuals
and their families who give up thinking for themselves to
follow some guru astrologer, psychic, or cult leader.
It is
impossible to calculate the losses to those bilked because
they are ignorant of basic logical and psychological
principles.
For those cancer patients who are thinking of trying an
untested alternative therapy, please read Dr. Stephen
Barrett's
A Special Message for Cancer Patients Seeking "Alternative"
Treatments.

Read this book and you
will wonder no more about the harm done by false beliefs
