"Galileo’s Lawyer is an insider's view of the alternative health care field as told from the perspective of the legal battles involving the most popular and controversial complementary and alternative health care practitioners.
- Go inside the courtroom during the government's attempts to shut down a cancer clinic which was saving hundreds of terminally ill patients, and see how the U.S. Congress came to the clinic's rescue;
- Meet a group of New Jersey Chiropractors who sued the government for "racketeering" for employing an illegal extortion scheme;
- Watch the nutritionists battle the dietitians over dietary supplements; and
- Find out why naturopaths are prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license.
Galileo's Lawyer is a living history about the struggles between medical maverics, their patients, and the government."
