What do people who have reached the age of 60 talk about most often? Exactly, about illnesses. And how to get rid of them. The two authors Werner D’Inka and Rainer M. Gefeller have explored what it's like in the world of healing. Why is there so much farting before the evening news? Does acupuncture hurt? Does fasting make you happy? How healthy is red wine?

By the way, don’t worry: the stories don’t hurt. In the end, we are all healthier than the doctor allows.
