‘This book brings science into question, confrontingobjectivity with humanism and offering a set of enlightening case studies ofpractice, belief and contestation in various fields of science. The book makesit very, very clear that we cannot take science for granted. Before you readanother headline about another scientific “breakthrough”, you should read thisbook.’            Stephen J. Ball, Emeritus Professor ofSociology of Education, University College London, IOE; co-author of AgainstSchool, and of Thinking Education Differently and GlobalEducation Inc.‘This important and timely book challenges the worst aspectsof medical science dogma, while providing hope for the paradigm shift neededfor improved health and well-being.’Norman Fenton, Professor Emeritus of Risk, Queen MaryUniversity of London‘Endorses “a bottom-up democratisation of science”.Hopefully, readers of this book will be inspired to be part of this paradigmshift”. God knows, we need it.’ Dr Rosamond Jones, MD, FRCPCH, retired consultantpaediatrician, co-chair HARTgroup.org‘In these conversations Richard House makes a hugelysignificant contribution to the evolutionary paradigm change which could yetsave the world.

I highly recommend thisbook.’Professor Leemon B. McHenry, California State University, Northridge,co-author of The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine‘A thoughtful collection of conversations that togetherreveal the dark side of “elite science” when wielded as dogma – acting toenforce expert consensus in the status quo and censor heterodox scientificviews, while deceitfully presenting itself as receptive to new ideas and freefrom any bias or prejudice.’Professor (Emeritus) Martin Neil, Queen MaryUniversity of London, co-author of Fighting Goliath: Exposing the flawedscience and statistics behind the COVID-19 event‘Humanising Science and Medicine is pivotal in so manyways, not least in reminding us of the importance of discussion and debate.Richard House suggests a “bottom-up democratisation of science”, and thisoverlaps with my own engagement in developing Truth University as aninstitution (www.truthuniversity.co.uk).’Gloria Moss, Professor of Management and Marketing,founder of Truth University‘A book that everyone should read, regardless of their levelor field of education... but especially academics, intellectuals, andresearchers.

German New Medicineand many quantum approaches to health are identifying the emotional andspiritual causations of physical dis-at-ease. The authors know and address thisarea excellently. This book is a must for those who wish to awake to themeta-reality of what it entails to be healthy and human.’Professor Paul Barber, Ph.D., M.Sc., BA‘An intriguing and thought-provoking book, designed toinvite the reader to entertain a variety of humanistic perspectives related toscience and medicine. There is a variety of “eminent humanizing voices” in thebook, each person providing their unique perspectives on the subject as theyengaged in fascinating conversations. You may find yourself entertaining manyquestions about science and medicine that you may have previously taken forgranted, or that you may not have even thought about previously. For thosereasons alone, the book may provide profound insights to the reader, and it mayeven challenge the reader to re-think how they view science and medicine.’Dr Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson, Ph.D., President,US Association for Humanistic Psychology
