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 )
