Any "confessions of..." type books by former homeopaths or similar alternative medicine providers?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Has anyone here read a good biographical account by someone who was an alternative medicine provider (especially homeopath or similar where lots of people believe in them, not something that 99% of people mock ideally) who either never believed in it or came to realise that they were pushing nonsense?

Homeopaths believe in their stuff. And remember, they have three things going for them:

  1. The power of placebos.

  2. A caring professional that really wants you to get well, so you try to please them.

  3. The stuff is harmless.

And in fact for about a 100 years after it’s invention, Homeopathy likely worked better than medicine, esp if you read what was actually in some of those “patent medicines”.

So, they arent really quacks or frauds. They are just wrong.

I googled “confessions of a homeopath” and found this:

Not exactly extensive writing, but it’s what you are looking for.

I understand that, but it has nothing much to do with my question. There are also plenty of them who do believe that eventually realise how wrong they are and go into what they did.

Also I do think that SOME of them, at some level, know they’re talking crap. I refuse to put a percentage on it but I would say it’s more than 5% and less than 50%.

Thanks my friend. That’s exactly the kind of stuff I’m after - but in much bigger book form ideally. Even so that’s great and I appreciate your linking to it very much.
