"I recall Shaun Stannert's words ("Dr. P" had advised on treatment of her English Labrador 'Tubbs'). She is a medical writer. As I recall she placed a time frame, whether it was twenty or thirty years, that it takes sometimes for medical discoveries to really be accepted by the medical community, despite the very real and tangible successful results they have yielded within that time. From what I gather, doctors and researchers who make life changing discoveries tend to be harshly viewed at first , BUT then later revered as time goes on. Linus Carl Pauling was labeled a quack at first- and then he won the Nobel prize for his research into chemical bonds.
There is an article titled " Familiar Quacks and Heretics (Now considered Heroes)" on Healthier Talk.com that explains how the medical community turns their back on those people who have made outstanding discoveries but then later embraces them (fair weather friends!).
