I came across a paper she wrote on statins

just too much technical terminology that I don't
understand. She seems to be writing something
like a commentary to the people in the field.
Many of her peers seem to reject her work.
Then again, they would. Anyone coming up
with new theories who doesn't have a place
in the established hierarchy is bound to be
shouted down. (For that matter,*anyone* coming

Hi Mayanana,

Love the analysis. I course I took in college
was called the history of science. Quiet often
the vested interests had to literally die of old
age before a new theory would take its place.
Caloric for example. We are a lot more fast paced
today, but the same attitude still holds.

It is especially more prevalent today with the
resurgence of Lysenkoism (politically dictated outcomes),
such as Cholesterol and Global Warming.

Remember the Australian doctor that discovered
the link between ulcers and bacteria. The vested
interested tried to run him out of town.
