Way back in the infancy of medicine it was
discovered that washing hands would prevent
infection for surgical patients and delivering
mothers, but it took fifty years or more for
something that simple to catch on. Change takes a
lot of time and effort. Eventually they admit that
the the earth orbits the sun, and it's not flat.
But until then, the only thing we can do is keep
on keeping on, and give info to those who are
seeking it.

anybody who doesn't already know about CS how amazing it is.
Both of my groan, er, I mean, grown kids have worked at the New England
Journal of Medicine, and they are "True Believers" in the AMA, FDA, and
all things traditional western medicine. And they steadfastly refuse to
believe in anything else. These are 30-somethings. At the moment.
They totally scoff at the idea of CS, as if we are talking about voodoo
or witchdoctors or something.
Same reaction with people at work. So now I just don't bother much. I
hear them coughing and sniffing, taking off sick, talking about the flu,
getting their flu shots, getting colds, etc., and think how nice it is
not to have to deal with any of that any more. But even when they are
sick, they don't want to hear about CS.
Of course it doesn't help that the powers that are against it have
websites that they pay to keep at the front of google searches, that put
down CS and try to scare people away from it. A friend of mine did a
google search on it, and the first 3 or 4 items were quackwatch, some
site from a university, the standard blue man and gray people pictures,
etc. It's no wonder people get turned off to it. I looked into
quackwatch, and found references to the guy who owns it having received
awards from the FDA. No surprises there. The university sites were AMA
connected. You have to pay to get your website up front on google like
that, and I'll bet I know exactly who is paying in this case.
Anyhow, interesting phenomenon, the resistance to learning about
something new like this, or maybe it is just resistance to learning
about anything that doesn't come from one's own doctor?
