We cannot afford to continue to leave these vital questions unanswered. Neither can we afford to have them answered by special interests motivated by greed or professional prejudice. We can expect the AMA to defend the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical medicine, just as the International Chiropractors Association promotes chiropractic. Neither is it surprising that the various sugary confections which their manufacturers call cereals are defended with the claim that such are part of a balanced breakfast. Dairy farmers will defend and promote milk consumption in spite of all scientific studies to the contrary.
Meat producers continue to submit evidence that their product is vital to good health.
In most instances, the true answers to all the questions posed in the preceding paragraphs already are available somewhere and in some form. Throughout the world, many knowing voices are crying in the wilderness, trying to make themselves heard. Some of them might possess the most respected credentials. Others might not. Many of the world's greatest discoveries have been made by nondescript geniuses who do not belong to all the right clubs.
