goes on. Some of the theories in natural medicine on such subjects such as Vitamin D, essential fats and nutrition were discarded until we discovered their value. Now they are included in the medical journals. Often, years will pass before new information is accepted. I believe the deep impact of allergies and sensitivities for all disease and ill-health is coming but is not yet commonly accepted. When we can look at the information logically, abstract information can make sense. All change and growth in understanding in our world has come about thanks to abstract but logical thinkers. Sometimes it takes science a little while to catch up.
