Negative Positive
Title: A skeptical view
Review: Not many book readers take the trouble to study the copyright page so I imagine few readers of this book will have spotted the disclaimer in small print as follows -"The material in this book is intended for education. It is not meant to take the place of diagnosis and treatment by a qualified medical practitioner or therapist. No expressed or implied guarantee as to the effects of the use of the recommendations can be given nor liability taken."This could be very good advice since in this book the author has described how he followed the "Bates Method" of eye therapy, a method invented by a thoroughly discredited ophthalmologist of the 19th century. A search for "Bates Method" on the Wikipedia web site produces gives more information, and the section entitled "Eye-Related Quackery" in the web site Quackwatch also provides more revealing details.After investigating these links readers could come to a different conclusion as to the benefits proposed by the author.
Is the review positive or negative?
