Science Today........Quackery Tomorrow

This 12 year period during which the findings of Marshal and Warren were
rejected and ridiculed in spite of overwhelming scientific evidence, clearly
represents a traditional part of the process of change within the medical
community ( 9, 35, 80 ). Any scientist, no matter how reputable, who makes a
significant medical discovery will be subjected to this tirade of criticisms
and insults which will be directly proportional to the importance of their
discovery and the degree to which it challenges established medical dogma
( 35, 80 ). In other words, the more important the discovery, the more
intense will be the condemnation from the remainder of the medical
profession ( 9, 35, 80 ). Furthermore, this condemnation will occur even if
the scientist concerned can produce conclusive scientific evidence of his
discovery ( 9, 35, 80 ). So prominent is this ideological rigidity of modern
medicine that it has even been suggested that the initial rejection of a
scientific discovery by the scientific community should become a
prerequisite for the granting of a Nobel Prize! ( 80 )
