Whicker's World: Fringe Medicine

on BBC One London

Alan Whicker examines Fringe Medicine
A very serious doctor... he comes from the sixth sphere.

A doctor, in fact from a world other than Whicker's - indeed from 'the Other World' - and just one of the fringe practitioners to whom thousands of patients are looking today when orthodox medicine has failed to cure.
These people venture outside the established channels of the medical profession into the labyrinth of Bee Cure, Spirit Operation, Radiesthesia, and Witchcraft, or less way-out methods like Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Hypnotism.
In the world of unorthodox healers you choose your cure, pay your money and - then what?
First shown on BBC-2
