Exploring the evolution of health quackery, this collection of essays highlights the sophisticated tactics used by modern fraudsters compared to earlier times. James Harvey Young examines various scams, from dental frauds to dubious treatments for children, illustrating their connection to cultural and regulatory shifts. Notable examples include the controversial promotion of Laetrile as a cancer cure and the exploitation of AIDS fears. By analyzing the reasons behind public susceptibility to these scams, the book reveals the staggering financial impact of quackery, which has surged dramatically since the late 1960s.
