/lit/ - Literature

My mother believes in tarot card reading and alternative medicine. She's gambling away her pension and trying cure her illnesses based on this shit.

Is there a book about science that will convince a person like this that what they are doing is insane? Nothing resembling pic related please.

Any books on how to debate people like this?

I thought this problem was endemic to reddit but it seems to have spread this /lit/. How do we deal with it?

To clarify, these people don't actually have anything to say on the subject at hand, and put all their effort into pointing out lack of references and irrelevant informal fallacies (like shouting "ad hominem!" when someone makes a joke at someone else's expense).
