<P>Fraudulent, harmful, or at best useless pharmaceutical and therapeutic approaches</P><br/><br/><P>developed outside science-based medicine have boomed in recent years, especially due to</P><br/><br/><P>the commercialisation of cyberspace. The latter has played a fundamental role in the rise</P><br/><br/><P>of false 'health experts', and in the creation of filter bubbles and echo chambers that have</P><br/><br/><P>contributed to the formation of highly polarised debates on non-science-based health</P><br/><br/><P>practices-online as well as offline.</P><br/><br/><P>By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this edited book brings together</P><br/><br/><P>contributions of international academics and practitioners from criminology, digital</P><br/><br/><P>sociology, health psychology, medicine, law, physics, and journalism, where they critically</P><br/><br/><P>analyse different types of non-science-based health approaches. With this volume, we aim</P><br/><br/><P>to reconcile different scientific understandings of these practices, synthesising a variety</P><br/><br/><P>of empirical, theoretical and interpretative approaches, and exploring the challenges,</P><br/><br/><P>implications and potential remedies to the spread of dangerous and misleading health</P><br/><br/><P>information.</P><br/><br/><P>This edited book will offer some food for thought not only to students and academics</P><br/><br/><P>in the social sciences, health psychology and medicine among other disciplines, but also</P><br/><br/><P>to medical practitioners, science journalists, debunkers, policy makers and the general</P><br/><br/><P>public, as they might all benefit from a greater awareness and critical knowledge of the</P><br/><br/><P>harms caused by non-scientific health practices.</P><br/><br/><P>&nbsp;</P>
