Levin, however, takes it too far. This stuff is decidedly non-Cartesian and backed up by zero evidence. I had to read it twice to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Levin recognizes the value of rigorous peer review in medical journals, but seemingly only when it suits him. When there are no studies that meet his needs published in such journals, he turns to such rigorous experts as New Age health guru Andrew Weil.
Cancers spontaneously remit all the time.
Levin can also overstate the acceptance of his own theories. In his introduction, he crows about a paper he and colleagues published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1997. The honor of being featured in JAMA even makes it into his book jacket bio. Well, a few facts should be set straight. The part of the article that was cut was the least substantiated, most speculative section of the piece.
