Part II

There is a great story about a man who was brilliant but suffered persecution from his peers. His work has saved your life and the lives of your ancestors. His name was Ignaz_Semmelweis and I would challenge anyone to read his story.

He was persecuted for years by the medical community based on his observations that doctors should wash their hands after dissecting cadavers before delivering babies. Yes, he observed that maternal deaths decreased substantially -sounds stupid, it obvious today but at the turn of the century they mocked him saying that invisible things could not make people sick. They persecuted him in which he had to be institutionalized.

There are countless stories in medical history where innovative thinkers were persecuted by the standing medical establishment. They persecuted the man who developed anesthesia, persecuted the doctor who stated that h. pylori caused ulcers, persecuted Dr. Livingston and others who presented the microbe theory of cancer etc etc.

Shroom's claims may not make sense but that does not mean they are wrong.
