Seriously, it may make a vast difference if one cares about the well-being of people in general. Like my Mother, for whom "the doctor said so" is right up there with "it's in the bible". Or my best friend, dead now because the doctors were "the authority", and I with my silver was "crazy" and "probably experiencing a placebo effect". Yes, I'd like to see a community of caring people who are not anti-intellectuals attempt to nail down enough credible, scientifically-oriented evidence to make a compelling case that could then be taken seriously enough to prompt some federal grant for further investigation which might yield some compelling scientific facts.
There has been quite a bit of research by various universities. A "compelling case" that could be taken seriously by whom? is the question. There are those who have a vested interest in promoting their own products to the exclusion of all others, and they are well funded and have quite a bit of political power. There has been a case made for ongoing corruption in various federal agencies, several of which would not withstand much scientific scrutiny. It all seems to do with money, and who is going to be making a bundle off of what product, and through supression of competitor's products. This world is not much fun for us pollyanna types.
