Medical care advances by the performance of well designed preferably placebo controlled studies. Prospective is better than retrospective. Meta analysis will help to discern benefits and risks that may not be apparent in studies with smaller numbers of participants. Medical journals welcome submissions from contrarians and those who wish to challenge orthodoxy. That is why you hear all the time about a new study or a new recommendation that differs from what you have heard in the past. So if you can't write an article that is well enough researched to be accepted in a medical journal, well you can always write a book and go on TV. You can promote bioenergetic therapy where "Sexuality and self-respect are the key avenues for exploration in bioenergetic analysis" (Mass. Society of Bioenergetic Analysis) and be member of the American Board of anti-aging Medicine.. which is not a recognized Board

You do know that your traditional MD is also recommending life-style changes, better diet, more exercise etc. And when she adds a statin she makes no money from writing that script.
Could these men be correct? Sure, but the burden is on them to produce real properly obtained data and publish that data so that it can be subject to the peer review analysis that is needed. If you don't do that you can be regarded as either a lonely truth teller fighting against the machine, or a self-promoting charlatan. I wonder when they are heavily pushing vitamins in the companies they own rather than information, which category they inhabit.
