It was Schopenhauer who said that:
... all truth passes through three stages: First it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
History has shown, time and time again, that this is absolutely true of all attempts to introduce fresh, original thinking into medical practice.
The medical profession has a long history of promoting useless and dangerous treatments, of resisting change, even when it is supported by strong evidence, of protecting existing practices (however harmful they might be) and of opposing helpful ones.
For centuries, doctors believed that blood-letting was a valuable method of treatment for almost all diseases. Using leeches and scarification blades to remove blood from patients was a standard treatment which was popular with the best informed health professionals (both physicians and apothecaries) well into Victorian times and was used for heart failure, headaches, fever, pneumonia, depression, broken bones and just about everything else you can think of – including anaemia.
Surgeons used to sharpen their knives on the soles of their shoes and strongly resisted the evidence that this was a remarkably dangerous thing to do. For decades surgeons performed lobotomies and treated patients with ECT. At one time it was fashionable for surgeons to remove huge lengths of intestine. All these things were endorsed, promoted and protected by the medical establishment. Things are worse now than they’ve ever been. Years ago, I showed that one in six people in hospital is there because they’ve been made ill by a doctor. Moreover, I proved that iatrogenesis – doctor induced disease – is today one of the three top causes of death and serious illness. It’s up there alongside cancer and circulatory problems such as stroke and heart disease. And there is extraordinarily persuasive evidence that vaccinations kill far more people than they save.
