99 & counting medical myths debunked

Abstract

How many times have you heard the statement "We only use 10% of our brains" or "Chicken soup cures the comomon cold"? Many ideas about medical problems and general health are passed through the generations and become firmly embedded, while others have emerged more recently, such as "the flu vaccine will give you influenza". This book seeks to dispel all of these ill-founded notions and explains how the wrong interpretation or conclusions have arisen. This book provides a much-needed antidote to the sage advice family and friends my proffer, through well-researched studies by medical scientists who have taken these medical "myths" and truly debunked them.
