Description: | The Irrational Health Service: Prof Richard Dawkins looks at how health has become a battleground
between reason and superstition. A third of us now spend a total of over 1.6 billion a year on
superstitious alternative remedies, but 80 of them have never been subjected to properly conducted
trials.
Slaves to Superstition: Prof Richard Dawkins tackles the epidemic of irrational, superstitious
thinking which is blotting the light of logic and evidence. After garnering tips on psychics
entirely earthly trade secrets from the illusionist Derren Brown, Dawkins attends a seance and
confronts the medium. Time and again, the interviewees appeal to personal revelation or second-hand
anecdote to justify their belief.
