sure. i understand about the power of corporations and the corruption of government as well as the structure of scientific revolutions but that has nothing to do with a treatment simply unable to pass peer review or its experimental results confirmed independently.

Which of course flew in the face of the accepted norm and the medical/scientific community ridiculed them for it. And of course the pharmaceutical companies didn't exactly like that idea either since they made tons of cash with their antacids etc... But it was eventually proven that they were right years later... Government launched a campaign to inform doctors etc (late 90s think).. What happened after that??? Acid reflux was "invented" so the companies could rebrand their products and keep selling them. Oh.. And the guys won the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2005 for that work.
Point being... You can't trust the medical/scientific community a lot of the time as they take the current science as absolute fact when in reality, we know so little that everything should be looked at as potentially being invalid.
