<P>This issue of <EM>The Reference Shelf</EM> looks at the origin and impact of healthcare conspiracies in America. From ineffective, often dangerous medical treatments in the Middle Ages, including trepanation for headaches, to modern-day conspiracies about vaccines, misinformation surrounding health has influenced popular culture for centuries. This book looks at a variety of relevant topics including early medical schemes, medical denialism, common health myths, medical misinformation, common health misconceptions, and more. This volume begins with a preface, outlining the historical context beliefs surrounding health. The preface also provides foundational information related to denialism tactics, including conspiracy, selectivity, fake experts, impossible expectations, and logical fallacies.</P>
