Honey, Mud, Maggots and Other Medical Marvels
Many modern medical practices began as old wives' tales or folk remedies. Honey, Mud, Maggots and Other Medical Marvels investigates a multicultural variety of age-old remedies often dismissed by 20th-century Western medicine as harmful or foolish but now shown to have real scientific validity. This book calls upon the medical establishment to open itself up to the possiblities of alternative therapies - remedies that have stood the test of time precisely because they work.
