A number of questions are raised here. Medical industry ethics and media censorship in the main. It seems that the responsibility for some medical professionals to seriously consider new theories and practices suffers from inertia and perhaps also from pharmaceutical industry pressure and influence. Then, the power of the industry over the press is apparently extraordinary, and introduces the factor of public health being jeopardized in the interest of industry profits.
The claim of blatant misinformation by Dr. MaryAnne Demasi’s documentary, cannot be substantiated because genuine medical expert opinions and evidence are provided.
To prevent publishing is unethical and raises serious questions of the medical industry honesty and its public responsibility. Only genuine open debate would be appropriate if this question of honesty is to be laid to rest.
What’s that I hear? Science is not developed by public debate!? True, but the stifling of scientific debate and development is of public concern and if not publicly disclosed as such, will not otherwise be resolved within the industry because of the implied high degree of corruption involved.
