Robins tells the fascinating story of homeopathy in the USA - and the war between alternative and conventional medicine that began in 1847 after the A.M.A. banned homeopaths from membership even though their training was the same as other doctors.  At the story's center is Royal Samuel Copeland, an eye surgeon, educator, New York City health commissioner, and maverick New York senator who championed homeopathy.  Bringing the story up to date, the book describes homeopaths of today who adhere to strict scientific standards.
