		The history of medicine, Nutton writes, is the history of "men and women striving to come to terms with illness, whether as sufferer or as healer." Hippocrates and the Hippocratics are dealt with fully, but Nutton is keen to bring us the full range of ancient medical thought.
		Professor Vivian Nutton, in his magisterial study that is, apparently, "the first large-scale history of ancient medicine in a single volume for almost 100 years", looks beyond the Hippocratic method and tradition to the other medical practices of the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

	Traditional Medicine and Pseudoscience in China: A Report of the Second CSICOP Delegation (Part 1) (Skeptical Inquirer July 1996)
		Chinese medicine of 3,000 years ago was certainly no more primitive than the folk practices from the same era that evolved into Western medicine; but just as we no longer rely on the astronomy of ancient Greece, it would seem that progress in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and therapeutics has rendered most ancient medical practices obsolete.
		As several members of the Chinese scientific community became aware of these shifting attitudes in the West, they began to worry that their reputations were being tarnished abroad by the growing acceptance of the media-driven notion that Chinese medicine was undergoing a wholesale reversion to its ancient, mystical roots.
		Unlike Western scientific medicine, which aims to identify and counteract specific pathogens for different disease states, TCM views all illnesses as the consequence of a unitary cause, namely an imbalance of vital energies in the body.
