Trick or Treatment

Presenter Ginette McDonald explores the ever-expanding world of alternative therapies in documentary Trick or Treatment, meeting therapists, practitioners, true believers and sceptics. McDonald looks into well-known therapies, like massage, aromatherapy and Chinese medicine, but she also visits a spiritual healer, a bio-harmonic architect and lets loose on the dance floor with a psychotherapist. Colour therapist Colin Lambert claims he cured himself of cancer, while doctors, like Robin Briant, are concerned about people with serious illnesses refusing conventional treatments.

Was Angela pulling my leg or what? Did she have psychic powers? Or was it all just quackery?
